VFXPredator

Overview

VFXPredator is the backend engine behind an Electron desktop app for VFX teams. It runs as a Windows background service so workflow logic stays centralized and available independent of the UI lifecycle.

Artist actions are sent as command requests to the service, where session checks, role-based path rules, and config policy are applied before any filesystem mutation occurs. Commands are then routed to focused modules for shot scaffolding, transfer orchestration, messaging, and admin configuration.

The deployment is intentionally isolated to an internal studio network surface rather than the public web. Service communication is local/internal only, which reduces attack surface while preserving controlled access to encrypted local workspaces and studio shares.

This architecture replaced error-prone manual folder and copy tasks with consistent, auditable workflows, improving transfer visibility and operational support for production teams.
