cgsupervisor.blogspot.com/p/pipeline-articles.html
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

TurboSquid move towards supporting AI against its own policies
https://www.turbosquid.com/ai-3d-generator
The AI is being trained using a mix of Shutterstock 2D imagery and 3D models drawn from the TurboSquid marketplace. However, it’s only being trained on models that artists have approved for this use.
People cannot generate a model and then immediately sell it. However, a generated 3D model can be used as a starting point for further customization, which could then be sold on the TurboSquid marketplace. However, models created using our generative 3D tool—and their derivatives—can only be sold on the TurboSquid marketplace.
TurboSquid does not accept AI-generated content from our artists
As AI-powered tools become more accessible, it is important for us to address the impact AI has on our artist community as it relates to content made licensable on TurboSquid. TurboSquid, in line with its parent company Shutterstock, is taking an ethically responsible approach to AI on its platforms. We want to ensure that artists are properly compensated for their contributions to AI projects while supporting customers with the protections and coverage issued through the TurboSquid license.In order to ensure that customers are protected, that intellectual property is not misused, and that artists’ are compensated for their work, TurboSquid will not accept content uploaded and sold on our marketplace that is generated by AI. Per our Publisher Agreement, artists must have proven IP ownership of all content that is submitted. AI-generated content is produced using machine learning models that are trained using many other creative assets. As a result, we cannot accept content generated by AI because its authorship cannot be attributed to an individual person, and we would be unable to ensure that all artists who were involved in the generation of that content are compensated.
