A VFX pipeline belongs to one of three classes:
- production (task) primary
- material (data) secondary
- approval (meta-data) tertiary
A VFX pipeline is comprised of four structural dimensions:
- leadership
- personnel
- tools
- methods
A VFX pipeline utilizes technology but is not the technology
A VFX pipeline divides a work-flow into separate and meaningful tasks assigned to two or more persons
A VFX pipeline tasks divisions are determined using a tree of specialization across the three dimensions
The VFX pipeline structural form is dictated by
- the functional mission,
- resources available and
- company culture
A VFX pipeline is malleable
