If your team needs the reliability of Perforce without the need for a dedicated server admin or expensive licensing, Anchorpoint is the version control solution designed for your asset pipeline.
Anchorpoint offers a modern, visual alternative to the outdated Perforce P4V client. It replaces complex check-in/out procedures with automatic file locking and a "two-button" workflow designed for artists. With native thumbnails for quick asset identification and the full power of Git under the hood, it ensures high-speed collaboration without the administrative burden of P4.
Anchorpoint's foundation on Git, an open-source system, guarantees flexibility. Its compatibility extends to any Git solution. Should teams opt to transition away from Anchorpoint, they can effortlessly continue with their preferred Git client and server.
Beyond version control, Anchorpoint excels in asset management. It facilitates the organization of asset libraries through tagging and commenting. Whether it's Blender, Cinema 4D, or Substance, Anchorpoint integrates seamlessly, so it fits to workflows outside of game engines.
Perforce is powerful but cluttered with legacy features that most creative teams never touch. Anchorpoint focuses on the "90% use case" for game development: committing assets, locking files to prevent conflicts, and browsing project history visually. It makes version control "invisible" for artists.
Last but not least, Anchorpoint is able to display thumbnails of industry relevant file formats such as FBX, EXR, PSD or audio and video files. You can quickly browse and search your files.
Our remote team quickly discovered how vital version control is in using Unreal Engine for animation and VFX. Anchorpoint let our team focus on the work at hand with a great product and outstanding support!
