We believe in collaboration, within our team and across the industry. With simple APIs already available for each software, Citrus software can be easily integrated with other standard industry tools. Our tools are designed with interoperability in mind, ready to plug-and-play into your current pipelines, and designed to facilitate your workflows from day 1.
Citrus Software is the result of 15 years of close collaboration between the R&D department at TeamTO and the artists involved in numerous studio productions. This hands-on experience is what makes our solution so relevant today and deeply aligned with needs of the industry.
Today, Citrus Software operates as an independent company fully dedicated to developing innovative, production-ready software for the broader industry. TeamTO — now operating as TeamTO Animation — continues to use Citrus Software tools in its own productions, but functions separately as a standalone animation studio.
