What it is, and why it matters
Effects that hold up at full resolution.
VFX pipelines chain simulation, compositing and rendering together under real production pressure. Storm FX supplies the specialist software and the hardware underneath it, so the tools hold up when the shot count climbs and the delivery date does not move.
