Advice from the 4th Planet

Martian Toolz experienced staff is available to you!

With decades of real-world production experience, our crack R&D team is available to develop tools you need. Don't have a programming staff, but you still want to bid on that complex project? Drop us a line! Have you amassed a sizable, talented staff of programmers? Don't tie them up on every project! Because we can clean up and resell the tool, we can develop what you need at a fraction of what it would cost for you to do it yourself. Our staff has developed countless groundbreaking effects in dozens of feature films and television commercials, so we know the real brass tacks realities that your staff is faced with. We make tools that work, with the controls your clients demand.

Custom shader writing

With some of the best shader writers in the industry on our staff, we can develop anything from the simple to the seemingly impossible in less time than you thought possible. With extensive experience and a large code base with which we are deeply familiar, we can complete, in hours, what you may have thought was weeks of effort. Don't have any shader writers on staff this week? We can whip together entire suites of shaders for your production in no time. Just make contact and let us know what you need!

Pipeline consulting and technique development

We specialize in the development of procedural animation pipelines that work seamlessly with the commercial animation packages with which you are familiar. Need it all packaged up so your artistically brilliant but non-technical animator only has to push one "big red button" to make an entire system generate multiple image layers for your compositors? Our staff has done this in many facilities on many projects already. Already have a staff working on something, but they're just overloaded? Offload some development on to us! Have your best guys run out of ideas on how to achieve that look? Let us take a swing at it! We've knocked the ball clean out of the park regularly for years. Just let us know what you're faced with!

Custom programming

Need that one special tool, but you can't find it anywhere? Contact us, we can create it for you! Interoperability? Geometry deformations? Obscure algorithms? No problem! Is your regular programming staff to busy? Need it done fast, and everybody is employed elsewhere? Having a hard time finding someone that is able to do what you want? This is what we spend most of our time doing. You may have thought that that tool you wanted was too complex to write, or that software development was too pricey to fit into your budget. Let us know what you need, no matter how simple or complex, and let us show you how easily and quickly we can deliver!
