What others are saying

  • Muster works very well in our company and is a really good and professional product at a very high level. We render hundreds of frames every day, 24 hours a day. We are increasingly configuring Muster for our in-house needs and integrating it with our pipeline with Ftrack, Pype and many other custom tools. Really, Muster has become "rock solid" software all the years. I am very happy about that!

  • "I use Muster since version 4, switching from Maya software to Mentalray, from Renderman to Arnold and now RedShift, I delivered tv series, commercials, visual fx and high resolution illustrations. Muster never missed a bit, it's really an all purpose render tractor"
    Raimondo Della CalceartFive animation studio

  • Muster have always been at the core of our rendering systems, from the start with only a few instance’s back in 2006 to the big scalable enterprise of hundreds of instances that we have today. The possibility to empower your pipeline with the python templates and shape it over time for various production needs have been critical for us. Muster has always delivered. It´s a true proven workhorse that keeps on getting better for every year. We are looking forward to the future and another decade of rendering.

  • Giving the possibility to implement our own python code inside the template definition was very useful and our whole rendering pipeline rely on muster. Most of the production automation were handled directly by the dispatcher, that's a significant saving in time. The support was all the time very reactive and we were able to achieve our most creative idea.

  • “With the plethora of new possibilities of Muster thanks to the integrated Python engine, we are really pushing our pipeline to its limits….”
