Overall Development SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE THEY’RE EQUALLY IMPORTANT. WE’RE IN A REALLY INTERESTING TIME NOW, WHERE IT’S NOT JUST THE SOFTWARE, BUT HOW YOU PUT TOGETHER YOUR WORK-FLOW BY PUTTING THE RIGHT SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE TOGETHER.

- ALLEN BOLDEN, Founder & Chief Architect





WE WANT EVERYONE TO BE ABLE TO TELL THEIR STORIES. ECCOTYPE WILL MAKE THIS HAPPEN.

BIG-SCREEN MAGIC TAKES MORE THAN A LITTLE HELP “An accomplished CGI artist has to be flexible, a master of modeling, sketching, rendering, and animation. Likewise, the hardware used to design and develop Eccotype had to be just as adaptable. That’s why we chose Lenovo workstations. Undauntingly reliable, the ThinkStation P910 and ThinkPad P40 Yoga are capable of easily handling the computational demands of the advanced software packages from Autodesk, Adobe, and The Foundry.”

Eccotype’s Workstation Systems

ThinkPad P40 Yoga

ThinkPad P70 Capable of powering through the ins and outs of Eccotype, the team uses the ThinkPad P70 to for the artists who need to test their dynamic CG creation, run growing AI algorithms, and test out different rendering styles, while staying mobile to communicate better.

Their art departments use the ThinkPad P40 Yoga to get across critical operation information, and communicate creative ideas on the go, with great power to run business and creative apps. It’s changed the way they work and communicate, and helps to solve problems and do business in a visual sense faster.

ThinkStation P910 For handling the large amounts of data needed to create and maintain the incredible AI behind the features of Eccotype, the team uses the ultra high performance of the ThinkStation P910.
