Zou is an API to store and manage the data of your CG production.
Project description
Zou is the memory of your animation production
Zou is an API that stores and manages data related to animation productions. It allows you to centralize and access to all your data. Your tools connect to it and query the data from your production. Your Artists manage their files and their tasks more efficiently. It helps them to spend more time on the artistic side.
A dedicated Python client, Gazu, allows users to integrate Zou into the tools.
Features
Zou can:
- Store production data, such as projects, shots, assets, tasks, metadata files, and validations.
- Track the progress of your artists
- Store preview files and version them
- Provide folder and file paths for any task.
- Import and Export data to CSV files.
- Provide helpers to manage workflow tasks (start, publish, retake).
- Listen to events to plug external modules on it.
