What P4 DAM is
P4 DAM is a paid digital asset management system for art and design teams. It centralizes images, photos, video, audio clips, documents, 2D and 3D assets, textures, models, animations, and materials, including FBX, USD, GLB, and glTF formats. AI tagging and indexing help find uploaded files and search audio or video. Review tools support rotating 3D models, inspecting animations keyframe by keyframe, comparing image versions, and annotating 2D or 3D assets. Teams can configure approval workflows with status transitions, permissions, and webhooks. Smart bundles group related assets, identify references in 3D models, and download as ZIP files. Other capabilities include metadata, version history, API access, granular file permissions, IP-based controls, and S3-compatible storage. P4 Server is required; deployment supports on-premises, AWS, or Azure, with a web administration interface.
