VFX producers juggle a lot—bid packs, turnover dates, constantly shifting schedules, temp deliveries, full awards, partial awards… and that’s before you even consider crew availability across multiple departments. It’s chaos. But now, instead of frantically plugging numbers into spreadsheets and praying you didn’t miss a formula, you can visually map out all those moving parts in one place.
We’ve taken inspiration from tools like Nuke and Houdini (because why should the artists have all the fun?) and built a “what if” scenario simulator that lets you see everything—what’s happening, when it’s happening, and how it all connects. Need to plan your show’s capacity needs? Adjust for schedule changes? Forecast revenue? You can do it all, in seconds, without melting your brain.
What does “whatifi” do?
- Visually maps out hundreds of “what if” outcomes in real time.
- Simulates capacity, revenue, and scheduling scenarios—no spreadsheets required.
- Provides a comprehensive financial and strategic scenario planning workflow for producers and production management.
Why you’ll love it:
Imagine the power to adjust a few variables, like crew availability or delivery timelines, and instantly see how it affects your project. No more staring at endless rows of data or redoing calculations every time something changes (which, let’s face it, is always).
Beta Access Alert 🚨
Right now, we’re offering early access to the Capacity Planning Module—free for VFX producers, coordinators, and production managers. You can use it to build out resource, utilization, and capacity planning scenarios for a single project. Translation: it’s your chance to plan smarter, faster, and with fewer headaches.
