**Use cases**

## Your work sets the workflow. Not the other way around.

Find a studio like yours and see how it runs in Animanager.

## Pick the setup that fits your studio

You choose one when you create your studio. You can change stages and tools later.

### 3D animation in Blender

For studios that animate in Blender. Every shot goes from layout to compositing, and Desktop Helper brings each artist the right files.

[See an example](https://animanager.com/cgi-studios)

### 2D, illustration or other software

For studios working in 2D, illustration or any other software. The same grid, files and review, whatever tools your artists use.

[See an example](https://animanager.com/2d-animation)

### Solo or small team

For one artist or a very small team. Two simple stages, Sketch and Final, and review links for your clients.

## Before you start

### Is Animanager only for animation?

No. Campaigns, trailers, games and other visual projects work the same way.

### Does everyone have to use Blender?

No. The 2D and other software setup has files, review, chat and the canvas, without the Blender tools. Artists who use Blender add the Blender add-on.

### What does a new teammate need?

An account and an invite to the studio. Desktop Helper only if they work with files on their computer.
