Founded in 2002, PipelineFX produces Qube!, software that manages thousands of simultaneous 3D graphics programming tasks on large clusters of computer servers called render farms.

Originally built for Square USA’s groundbreaking film Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, the first fully-animated feature film, Qube! embodies 12 years of development, more than $2.5 million of investment, and includes several patent-pending techniques for batch queuing, process control, and render farm management. These techniques increase production throughput while significantly reducing the amount of time it takes to render frames for animation in movies and games.
