3D Asset Management for Animation and Game Studios

ioMoVo is 3D asset management and production asset management for animation studios and game developers. It connects and indexes the render farms, project storage, archives and partner drives you already run, then adds governed AI search, approval workflows and partner portals across your pipeline. No migration. From concept art to final delivery, every asset stays where it lives and stays governed.

Why Animation and Game Studios Choose ioMoVo

Animation and game production move terabytes of work in progress through hundreds of hands. Concept art, character rigs, environment models, animation cycles, sound effects, voice tracks, render outputs — every asset has dependencies, every dependency has versions, every version has reviewers. Most asset management tools were built for finished content, not for the in-flight chaos of production.

ioMoVo is 3D asset management built on a governed agentic AI platform. AI-driven discovery across mixed file types. Federated storage so render farms, archives, and active project storage stay where they are. Two-way external collaboration through ioPortal for partner studios, voice talent, and contract animators. Audit-by-default architecture for IP-sensitive productions. Teams cut manual search and tagging effort significantly, because assets are auto-tagged where they already live.

Production Asset Management with Governed AI

AI-driven production asset discovery

Vision and multimodal AI auto-tags concept art, character designs, environment assets, and reference materials. Find similar character designs, locate specific environment elements, identify reusable assets across projects. Search by visual similarity, scene description, or production stage. To run studio-specific or open-source models, bring your own LLM (BYOLLM).

File-level AI for animation reviewers

io Assistant, ioPilot's contextual AI companion in every file preview, gives animation directors, art leads, and reviewers per-file context. Web Search for reference checks, Thinking for multi-step review reasoning, Canvas for visualizing alternatives without leaving the asset. In air-gapped deployments Web Search is off, so review queries stay inside your infrastructure.

Federated storage for render farms and archives

Connect AWS S3, Azure Blob, Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, Backblaze B2, Seagate, Ceph and on-prem object stores. Render output, project archives, and active production storage stay where they are. ioMoVo adds AI tagging, search, and workflow across all of them. No migration required.

Two-way collaboration with partner studios and freelancers

ioPortal — configurable, no-code portals for outsource partners, voice talent, contract animators, and external reviewers. Role-aware access without exposing the underlying production library. Briefs in, work delivered through, final approval via portal.

Sovereign deployment for IP-sensitive productions

Self-hosted and air-gapped deployment for studios with contractual on-prem requirements. On-prem AI inference runs on GPU-accelerated studio infrastructure with open-source LLMs and vision models, so unreleased IP never makes a cloud round-trip for inference. Learn more about sovereign AI deployment. Hosted commercial models are optional and only used if you choose them.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is 3D asset management?
minus icon

3D asset management is how studios store, tag, version and share 3D models, textures, rigs, animation and renders so teams can find and reuse them. For production, it has to span render farms, archives and partner systems, which is why ioMoVo indexes assets where they already live instead of migrating them.

How does this work with our existing animation tools (Maya, Houdini, Blender, Unreal, Unity)?
plus icon

ioMoVo works alongside your DCC tools and engines rather than inside them. Project files stay in their native formats in the storage your pipeline already writes to, and ioMoVo indexes that storage to add AI tagging, search, approvals and partner sharing. Native add-ins are available today for Adobe Creative Cloud and Microsoft 365.

Can we run this on-prem for IP-sensitive productions?
plus icon

Yes. ioMoVo supports self-hosted deployment on GPU-accelerated studio infrastructure, running open-source LLMs and vision models on your own hardware. Air-gapped configurations are supported, so unreleased IP never leaves your infrastructure for inference.

How does ioMoVo handle animation and game art outsourcing partners?
plus icon

ioPortal — configurable, no-code portals with role-aware access. Outsource partners see only the assets and workflows they're authorized for. Briefs delivered through portal; work delivered back through portal; final approval routed through ioFlow.

Can we manage assets across multiple concurrent productions?
plus icon

Yes. Separate workspaces and project-level access controls keep concurrent productions isolated, with shared asset libraries where appropriate.

Does this support our render farm and archive storage?
plus icon

Yes. Federated storage connectors include AWS S3, Azure Blob, Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, Backblaze B2, Seagate, Ceph and on-prem object stores. Render output and archives stay in cost-appropriate storage; ioMoVo adds AI orchestration across them.

Does ioMoVo replace ShotGrid (Flow Production Tracking), ftrack or Perforce?
plus icon

No. Flow Production Tracking (formerly ShotGrid) and ftrack manage shots, tasks and schedules, and Perforce handles version control for source code and engine assets. ioMoVo is the 3D asset management and governance layer across the storage those tools write to: AI search, approvals, partner portals and audit trails, with no migration.
