RxLaboratory

France

First of all, RxLaboratory represents a growing community of animation and motion pictures enthusiasts, as it is backed by a lot of people during crowdfunding campaigns, donations, and support on Patreon. We owe you, and RxLab. is proud to be yours, and your voice, through its commitments and its way of building a better world.

Historically, everything began in 2008 when Nicolas “Duduf” Dufresne released the first version of Duik, the very first character rigging and animation add-on for After Effects, which quickly became a huge success. From the beginning, Duduf has been developping and releasing his tools under free and open source licenses.

In 2016, Duduf founded Rainbox Productions, a French film production cooperative, which included a non-profit software development department called Rainbox Lab..

In 2021, the cooperative decided that this Lab. should get its independance to continue to grow and follow its own path. RxLaboratory was born! By taking shares in Rainbox Productions, RxLab. still keeps strong links with the cooperative and with motion picture production in general.

It is currently a French independent company run by Nicolas Dufresne, but this is just a temporary necessity in order to later transform it into a non-profit independent organization owned and run democratically by its members.

RxLaboratory is not only dedicated to software development and teaching, training, helping people.
Our goal is also to show that another world can be built together, without mercantilism and capitalism, where emancipation and freedom of all the people comes from equality, financial independance and mutual assistance, in a world respectful of nature.

This is the reason why we’re always searching for new ways to fund, develop, and share what we do best: films (via Rainbox Productions), software, and teaching, and lead by example. We won’t lecture anyone and won’t judge anyone for their choices and their way of doing what they do, but we’re showing other ways, which work, and that we believe could make the world a better place for everyone.
