In June 2018, J CUBE and ANA partnered to develop a new core technology called Lightfront: a secure, generalized, bi-directional ultra low latency live data streaming framework designed for hardware and cloud applications in the Internet of Things (IoT). The project received multiple awards, and highlighted a 4K low-latency, remotely controlled, live stream from the International Space Station.
In September 2020, J CUBE started working on its most ambitious and innovative project, WeRender: on-demand, scalable web services for rendering and 3D/2D data processing in the metaverse. WeRender allows standard web developers with no graphics expertise to programmatically describe, store, and compute synthetic datasets. Automate the requests of rendering and other 3D/2D processing tasks. Communicate and share with other internet services. All with an easy to use multi-language API in PYTHON, C#, JAVASCRIPT, and REST. WeRender works from any connected device, anywhere, and allows anyone to render effective images at cents on the dollar with their API of choice, a text editor and a terminal. WeRender has been announced in September 2022.
J CUBE leverages on its unique combined know how of high-end 3D graphics, rendering, streaming and cloud development to provide novel products, solutions and ad-hoc consulting to its clients, worldwide.
The core design, research and development team behind J CUBE projects is located in Yokohama, Japan. It has several decades of cumulative experience developing 3D CGI and VFX, rendering technologies, embedded systems, low level system programming etc. Our management has technical background and our organization is flat and efficient. We minimize meetings and work with agile methodologies. Our team is international and multi-cultural. Our official company language is English, and we speak several other languages. We work with freelancers from all over the world. If you share our philosophy and are interested to work with us, check out our open job positions or send a note by e-mail.
Our team has a long history in contributing to 3rd party proprietary and open source technologies. Likewise, we also develop our own proprietary and open source tools. We believe there is value in each model, and therefore adopt both development methodologies on a need basis. Over the years we have been working, directly or indirectly (e.g. via plug-ins), on major commercial software products such as Autodesk® Maya®, Mudbox®, Showcase, Alias®, Arnold, nVidia® mental ray®, Foundry Nuke®, Katana®, Illumination Research 3Delight, 3Delight Cloud (powered by AWS), Jupiter Jazz AtomKraft. We also worked on several open source projects and APIs such as: Alembic, USD, MaterialX and MaterialXS, Multiverse and Milliways, NSI. Some of the software companies and open source technologies we have contributed to in various forms are:
We have several high-profile clients, both in Japan and worldwide, to which we provide solutions and services. Our development is strongly customer-driven, we continuously integrate our tools, releasing frequent updates with bug fixes, new features and improvements, many of which come from working closely with our customers.
