15 Years of R&D, let's take a stroll down memory lane.
It's been a long time coming. A lot of sweat, tears, and no blood (thank goodness!). But we're here now and ready to share our story and software. Happy to have you here to join our journey - we're just getting started!
2025
Citrus Software was officially launched as its own company at the Annecy Film Festival! Opening our software to the world, Citrus Software announces Tangerine, YUZU, and Mikan now accessible by all studios worldwide.
It's just the beginning, and we are so excited to have you join the journey to take animation to the next level!
TeamTO was acquired by RIVA Studios with a priority to launch the proprietary software publicly. We invested a lot to get our proprietary software ready for the world! The team was more motivated than ever to share what 15 years of R&D has achieved internally in an animation studio pioneering in tech.
2024
Tangerine got a huge upgrade and Yuzu became our core management tool, being used in our entire animation pipeline. All productions, except one legacy series, are now created with Citrus Software. Our team also got larger and stronger!
2020
Tangerine and an early version of Yuzu were first used in TeamTO's original series, Mighty Mike. This was the first of many series to be made on Citrus Software.
2016
2010
TeamTO Studio began R&D for new animation solutions not offered by current available tech.
Our Core Principles

Innovation is a key pillar towards what we're building here at Citrus Software. As pioneers in the animation tech industry, we believe that every day is an opportunity to try something new, fresh, and sometimes a little crazy.
INNOVATION

In rapidly changing times, collaboration is key - both internally and externally. We look to make the most of talented individuals and companies that we can work with, driven by a similar mission to make animation great again. Rising tides raise all ships.
COLLABORATION

Of course we want to push our limits and explore new horizons. Ambition is a constant driver for us to do something new, take on challenges we didn't consider before, and to do it all with a renewed sense of purpose and energy. Reach for the moon!
AMBITION

Animation should be fun, exciting, and filled with passion. We foster this adventurous spirit proudly in everything we do, no matter how small or mundane the task may be, there's always something there to discover.
