Transform Creative Workflows with Perforce P4 DAM
Perforce P4 DAM is intuitive digital asset management specialized for today’s popular 3D file formats (including .fbx, .usd, .glb, and .gltf). P4 DAM provides your art and design teams with one central place to find, review, and get feedback on every version of the models, textures, and materials they create — while giving your studio the speed and security it needs to collaborate with multiple vendors and contractors while aligning with version control best practices for creative workflows.
Preview and Find Art Assets in Seconds
Get ready for less searching and more creating. P4 DAM makes finding assets faster and easier with these professional-grade features:
- AI-powered tagging and indexing capabilities. P4 DAM automatically generates tags to the assets you upload, as well as indexes your audio and video files, to help you quickly find what you’re looking for.
- High-resolution thumbnails with native support for most file formats. High-resolution thumbnails with native support for most file formats. Give your artists a visual interface that generates thumbnails for formats like .fbx, .obj, .usd, .gltf, and .dae with automatic GLB conversion. You can now even hover over video or 3D model thumbnails to see short animations for faster browsing.
- Customizable metadata for each asset. View and search metadata connected to each asset, including who uploaded it and when. Team members can also edit this metadata to provide additional details for further labeling and categorization.
Review 3D Models and Animations
See an in-depth, high-quality view of every asset, making it easier to review files and hone every detail. P4 DAM powers creative feedback with these innovative functions:
- Interactive asset views. With P4 DAM you can spin, rotate, and review 3D models and their animations. View wireframes in multiple display modes (Off, X-Ray, Shaded) and toggle vertex coloring to inspect structure and design details.
- Enhanced animation reviews. Animation controls allow users to see and toggle between every animation, and review keyframe-by-keyframe. Compare two versions of image assets side-by-side to see what changed.
- Sketch annotations for 3D and 2D assets. Choose between a library of markup tools to leave specific notes and draw directly on 3D and 2D assets, including .psd.
Track Asset Progress and Next Steps
Never lose track of where your assets are in a workflow again. P4 DAM enhances asset traceability with a built-in Jira integration and these comprehensive, at-a-glance views:
- File locking visibility. P4 DAM users can quickly see whether a file is locked or being worked on.
- Build your own approval workflows. Create reviews for individual assets or bundles and control what appears on the board. Quickly see whether files are approved, under review, or need changes, while defining state transition rules, limiting who can make updates, and triggering webhooks for Jira, P4 Plan, or custom integrations.
- Comments and related links fields. Review and respond to feedback, track related resources connected to a model or file, and review history and comments.
Store and Share Assets for Future IP Reuse
P4 DAM connects to your existing P4 streams and depots, giving teams instant access to your complete IP catalog with these powerful capabilities:
- Smart asset bundles. Group related textures, models, animations, and materials into bundles you can organize, share, duplicate, and review. P4 DAM automatically identifies referenced assets in 3D models, so you can manage complete collections together, add links to bundle reviews (http, https, P4 Plan, Jira) for richer context, and download them as .zip files.
- File-level permissions. Granular access control down to the file level and by IP address, secures your IP while giving your collaborators the access they need.
- S3 (and S3-compatible) Object Storage Support. Since P4 DAM is built on P4, you can store old assets and projects on affordable S3 object storage.
