PipelineFX says it was asked by customers including Mackevision, Base FX and Method Studios to continue to expand the capabilities of ArtistView. “The advantage of ArtistView is that it allows us to build in new features quickly, all while keeping up with the trend of showing data visually,” says PipelineFX CEO Richard Lewis. “The faster you see it, the faster you can act on it.”
