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*/ R&D writes commercial Products, Framework tools and OpenSource software while also providing consultancy 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.
