DAS ELEMENT
The asset library software das element was first released in August 2021 by a company based in Munich, Germany. Rather than using one of the existing pieces of software that are roughly set to match as many needs and industries as possible, das element is moulded to the requirements of VFX studios.
Years of experience building and maintaining asset libraries went into developing this software. Built with high industry standards, the software works completely offline which makes it great for air-gapped environments with tight security measures for feature films and TV series.
