Your Complete Visual Library for 2D and 3D Assets

Transform Creative Workflows with Perforce P4 DAM

Perforce P4 DAM is intuitive digital asset management specialized for today’s popular 3D file formats (including .fbx, .usd, .glb, and .gltf). P4 DAM provides your art and design teams with one central place to find, review, and get feedback on every version of the models, textures, and materials they create — while giving your studio the speed and security it needs to collaborate with multiple vendors and contractors.

Preview and Find Art Assets in Seconds

Get ready for less searching and more creating. P4 DAM makes finding assets faster and easier with these professional-grade features:

• AI-powered tagging and indexing capabilities. P4 DAM automatically generates tags to the assets you upload, as well as indexes your audio and video files, to help you quickly find what you’re looking for.
• High-resolution thumbnails with native USD support. Stop scrolling through lists of text files, and give your artists a visual interface that generates thumbnails for specialized file formats, including .fbx, and .usd.
• Customizable metadata for each asset. View and search metadata connected to each asset, including who uploaded it and when. Team members can also edit this metadata to provide additional details for further labeling and categorization. 

Review 3D Models and Animations

See an in-depth, high-quality view of every asset, making it easier to review files and hone every detail. P4 DAM powers creative feedback with these innovative functions:

• Interactive asset views. With P4 DAM you can spin, rotate, and review 3D models and their animations.
• Enhanced animation reviews. Animation controls allow users to see and toggle between every animation, and review keyframe-by-keyframe.
• Sketch annotations for 3D and 2D assets. Choose between a library of markup tools to leave specific notes and draw directly on 3D and 2D assets.

Track Asset Progress and Next Steps

Never lose track of where your assets are in a workflow again. P4 DAM enhances asset traceability with a built-in Jira integration and these comprehensive, at-a-glance views:

• File locking visibility. P4 DAM users can quickly see whether a file is locked or being worked on.
• Comments and Related Links fields. Review and respond to feedback, or track related resources connected to a model or file within the asset viewer.
• Kanban board view. Quickly see asset status, including whether a file is approved, under review, or has suggested changes with this popular management tool.

Store and Share Assets for Future IP Reuse

P4 DAM is pre-built to connect to your existing Perforce P4 (formerly Helix Core) streams and depots. In just a few clicks, give all your departments the visual library they need to efficiently reference and reuse your entire catalog of IP, with these powerful capabilities:

• Support for both classic and stream depots. Easily link to depots from past and current projects, and even mix classic and stream depots inside a single project.
• File-level permissions. Granular access control down to the file level and by IP address, secures your IP while giving your collaborators the access they need.
• S3 (and S3-compatible) Object Storage Support. Since P4 DAM is built on P4, you can store old assets and projects on affordable S3 object storage. 

P4 DAM Maximizes Digital Creation

P4 DAM is a part of our Perforce P4 Platform, which we built to give creative teams must-have tools that work together.

Streamlined Digital Asset Management

To manage, share, and reuse assets in P4 DAM, first you’ll need P4. From there, P4 and P4 DAM work together to give your artists and designers intuitive digital asset management that securely versions their art assets in the background. P4 DAM also has a native integration with P4 Plan (formerly Helix Plan) to communicate asset and project status across your teams. Plus, P4 DAM plugins enable your artists to save new files, submit new versions, and revert file changes all directly from and within popular digital content creation tools like Photoshop, Maya, and Blender.
