Before evolving into a group, we were working for software companies and production studios. We’re proud to have contributed to award-winning software and visual effects. Though it often meant reinventing the wheel™, it was a valuable experience. An experience that allowed us to mature, and consequently desire independence.

Nowadays /*jupiter jazz*/ writes commercial products for end-users and opensource software for the community. We also provide consulting services to respond custom needs in the realms of visual imagery for clients in diametrically different markets: from VFX to Product Design to systems for Visual Arts.
