History

ZERO VFX was founded in 2010 by Brian Drewes and Sean Devereaux.

ZERO VFX developed Zync in 2011,[3] a cloud based rendering tool for VFX and was sold to Google for an undisclosed sum in August 2014.[4][5]

With headquarters in Boston, the company opened a second office in Venice Beach, California in November 2015.[6]

As of March 20, 2020, the Venice CA location shut its doors permanently which resulted in layoffs. This was due in part by the covid19 quarantine, as well as a general lull in features work. The Boston MA office remains open.

Sale of Zync

ZERO VFX was the original developer of Zync, a cloud based rendering tool geared towards the visual effects industry with support for The Foundry's NUKE, Autodesk Maya, Solid Angle's Arnold and Chaos Group's V-Ray.[7] Zync was sold to Google for an undisclosed sum in August 2014.[8]
