Aerith & Avé

Frequently Asked Questions

Learn more about Aerith Corp, Artistic Intelligence, and the Avé engine.

What is Aerith Artistic Intelligence?
At Aerith, we know that AI, generative and otherwise, can be used as tools that integrate seamlessly into professional artistic workflows. We are also looking ahead to the very next industrial transition - from classical compute to quantum compute. Avé is developing a toolset that combines established 3D process with AI and quantum enhanced processes. We develop our tools using an intelligent, artist-first approach so that the technical serves the creative - we call it Artistic Intelligence.
What is Quantum Computing?
Quantum computing is a relatively new development in computer science that resolves complext mathematical operations by applying the principles of particle physics. To make it understandable, we have a growing set of easy-to-understand infographics and terms on the Papers page.
What is the Avé Visualization Engine?
Avé (Aerith Visualization Engine) is our VFX application. It applies quantum computing to complex VFX challenges like raytracing, fluid effects, and Monte Carlo simulations, enabling real-time rendering for the next generation of imaging. Avé will be available in plugin, stand-alone and SaaS versions.
Why does Aerith use Quantum Computing in VFX?
Traditional rendering hits a bottleneck with complex physics simulations. Quantum computing is orders of magnitude faster at the same complex operations. Aerith uses quantum logic on clasical computers to process these simulations exponentially faster, allowing for level-of-detail and lighting accuracy previously impossible on classical hardware. Avé will already run on quantum hardware when it is available, "future-proofing" your toolset.
Are your films AI generated?
No. Avé integrates AI into a classic VFX work flow, to solve specific challenges. We are developing Avé within actual film production pipelines so that we can be sure it works in a prfessional environment. Our Films are written, directed, crewed, acted & voiced by talented human beings. Because ART is a mode of communcation from one human being to another. AI - all VFX - can be used to paint pictures, but only a human interaction can create art.
How can I join the Avé Beta Program?
Developers and VFX artists can apply via our Beta Program page. We are currently selecting partners to test Avé in real-world production environments.
Aerith is the name of a Final Fantasy character. Is your team into video games?
Yes. Very much so.
How do I submit a job application to Aerith?
Aerith's work is highly specialized and demanding. So we must be very selective in bringing people onto our team. We require superior ability, exceptional focus, and broad backgrounds. Our team is very lean and openings are few. If you feel you fit in, and you can contribute to Aerith's mission, send us an inquiry at reachout @aerithai.com.
I have a film project - can Aerith help produce it?
We do not accept any outside projects. Films created by Aerith must be crafted from the earliest stage to advance the Avé application and present specific VFX challenges that quantum processes can solve. So scripts must be created in close collaboration with our partners. Unfortunately, that means that submissions of any kind will be disposed of without review or acknowledgement.
Where is Aerith Corp located?
Aerith Corp Head Office is in the US Bank Tower, 633 W. Fifth St., 28th Floor, Los Angeles, CA 90071.
