Overview on Seneferu's procedural pipeline in Seneferu


Seneferu gives you the following advantages:

Seneferu will allow you to execute from a very small to mass production with any team scale smoothly and efficiently.
And provides you with a complete pipeline and workflow that covers almost all the known processes in making a moving picture
in addition to that Seneferu also comes with a solution for known challenging processes and production requirements.



Seneferu System Requirement

Seneferu is supported on all platforms Linux/MacOS/Windows

However, Clients interested in using Seneferu's Pipeline (which is optional but shipping with Seneferu), will have to install our custom tactic version on either Linux or MacOS since Seneferu's pipeline rely intensively on the unix symlinks for a lot of things, once this is done, all other Seneferu features, tools and applications used by anybody working on the project will work as expected on any platform.

  • To guarantee the production quality and consistency, Seneferu manages the human resources by counting on the reliable users who have their skills levels and performance rates above the accepted levels when doing the tasks assignments, while he drops any users get their performance rates lower than the given threshold.
  • Unlike outsourcing your project or parts of it, when working with us on this model, you have full access on the production, and the used and followed technologies, literally it’s exactly as how it would be if you are making the project in house, you see everything through Seneferu as how we do, while Seneferu’s AI decisions and production coordination can all be overridden by either of us.
  • If requested, we can assign as many tasks of the project to your inhouse team by overriding Seneferu’s tasks assignment decisions, however, the tasks will have to remain managed by Seneferu to keep the production running smooth and on track.


How does Nothing Real Seneferu Make a difference?
  • Seneferu has a brain, he is an expert artificial intelligent project management and execution solution that covers all the processes of managing and making picture and sound both onset and inhouse with the highest possible level of compatibility and integration between all the processes since everything is managed and handled by one brain - Seneferu Brain.
  • Seneferu ships with a pre-educated brain designed to manage and follow up the project human and machine resources for you.
  • Nothing Real Seneferu analyses the project breakdown, hence, he automatically knows what is a hero, secondary or extra asset.
  • Seneferu Makes the best and most efficient and realistic production execution plan, milestones, schedules and hiring plan automatically by resolving all the considerations that are beyond the scope of what a human can do and just in a few minutes:
    • Schedules the tasks that open greater parallel tasks/opportunities first making better utilization of a bigger team.
    • Considers the assets importance when scheduling the production by detecting the hero, secondary and extra assets and makes sure that more important assets come first in the production plan.
    • Resolves and considers the complex multi-directional correlations between assets, tasks in scenes and shots.
    • Considers the given/available human and machine resources.
    • Schedules the production the way that guarantees rented and hired resources contracts to always be for the shortest possible durations.
  • Seeing everything, like seeing nothing! This was considered when we built Seneferu’s brain, he gets you involved only when something goes either wrong or better (deviates away from the standards and schedules), giving you the chance to keep focus on the bigger picture and to not get lost in a lot of details that doesn’t make a difference to you.
  • Seneferu sees the future! Seneferu guarantees the production to be always on track by detecting and reporting now any tasks that might be delayed in the future, and gives the reasons why they are expected to be delayed, hence, giving the decision makers the chance to do the needful.
  • Seneferu AI Production Manager works with the users and supervisors side by side:
    • Unlike brainless systems, Seneferu doesn’t blindly follow processes graph, but he has a brain designed to understand the workflow, he knows when to do what, and what affects what, and when it doesn’t, he knows if the user has to hold on and stop working on a particular task, and when he can resume, he knows which task to be done first... Etc.
    • He sets the tasks statuses automatically and eliminates any mistakes, forgetness or misleading wrong tasks statuses, he knows if the done task is really done, he knows if it needs double checking, he knows what specifically should the user check and he tells him where to go exactly to look at.
    • He knows how to follow up and maintain the project consistency and continuity due to his understanding to the workflow, for example, if an object texture has been updated, he knows what are all the shots that has to be rerendered, if the user asked him how to reproduce a final rendered image, he tells every single asset and asset version was used to build this image since the project script was written till this final comped image has been produced.
    • He helps the new users to immediately engage with the project and do their job, 3 min tutorial guide is all what the user needs to know before he can get started, Seneferu then guides him during the process for any workflow considerations or any actions to be taken due to any reasons by emails and popups.
    • The user doesn’t need to remember any complex workflows, in addition to the task art brief, Seneferu tells the user any technical requirements he has to know on per task basis based on the pre-given workflow documentation.
    • He notifies the users about only what they have to know now and avoids exhausting them by a lot of information, giving them the chance to focus only on what they do.
    • The user doesn’t need to know what the requirements and dependencies needed to build his new task, doesn’t need to know which assets to use, what files types to use or which files loading methods he should follow! Because Seneferu understands the workflow, he knows all that, he connects to the desired application and does the needful for the user, and prepares for him a scene ready to start doing his job.
    • Because Seneferu knows exactly what is needed for a task and isn’t, he doesn’t allow the user load, open or watch any assets or files not related to his task as a second layer for security/privacy.
    • Automatically communicates with the application the task to be done with and prepare for the users automatically everything he may need to do his job, this helps the users to bypass any needs to study and remember any workflow requirements because it’s all automatically handled by Seneferu.
    • Seneferu guides the users on each process… New users can easily and quickly get started and engage with the production.
  • Seneferu guarantees No Wasted time or Resources… Seneferu Production Manager guides and pushes the users to work on the tasks with the more reliable dependencies.
  • Because Seneferu has a brain, He can learn! Teach him how to do it, he will do it even better.
  • When making a new project, Seneferu remembers all what you taught him during the previous, someday, he becomes your hand.
  • Seneferu is incredibly fair!
    • He evaluates the users skill level by seeing how likely their tasks outputs to be approved by the client/supervisors.
    • He evaluates the users performance rates by seeing how likely their approved/unapproved deliveries are fitting with the tasks bidding.
  • Seneferu considers his users skills and performance rates evaluations when asked to assign tasks to the team, he automatically assigns the hero asset tasks to the higher skills and better performing users first, the critical tasks to the highest performing users, the lower importance asset to the lower skills and performing users.
  • Seneferu makes sure to keep all the resources working and utilized efficiently, not only the human resources, but he makes detects and make use of any machines or blades go to idle by running any supported ready to run process on them automatically.
  • Seneferu has attitude, if enabled, Seneferu will keep alive with the users all the time, ask them to deliver what and when, reminds them about what they have to deliver now, today or tomorrow, he can get angry and starts nagging for the delivery with poor performing users, and he can be very nice and open for good performing users.
  • Seneferu makes accurate measurement of the actual process cost.
  • Seneferu gives you an accurate project reports:
    • The project progress percentage.
    • The project progress efficiency based on how likely the team tasks fitting to the production timeline.
    • Simulates the project execution and detect any tasks that might be delayed in the future now, and reports the reasons why are expected to be delayed giving the decision makers the chance to do the needful.
    • Users, departments studio, and project performance rates.
    • Net working hours on each task.
    • The cost efficiency of each task based on the market rates and total net working hours after the comments/revisions.
    • The best performing user, and the best performing department in a project.


In Addition (Technical Information)
  • Seneferu ships with non-destructive Procedural Pipeline solution considers the technical requirements for each process.
  • Seneferu has an additional layer of support to applications like (but not limited to) Maya, Houdini, Katana, Renderman, Arnold, massive, Mari, Nuke, 3DEqualizer, Davinci… etc, by deep understanding of these applications and the best of each one of them, Seneferu integrates all of them together and makes them act as one big application has one unified logic driving a complete procedural non-destructive workflow.
  • Seneferu ships with a photo-realistic shader library designed for texture resolves at render time that would save almost all the time needed for lookdev processes in a VFX project.
  • Seneferu ships with Advanced Procedural Katana template designed to work with Seneferu assets and to handle massive scenes, fluids, effects, particles, asset variants, look variants, crowd simulation, maya paintfx and instances that should save months of development... in addition, the way it’s designed to work with Seneferu should save around 80% of the time needed for building the project shots and composites for your project.
