Work Beyond Repo and File Limits

Large teams comprised of artists, developers, and engineers face limits when using Git alone. File size limits, repo size limits, and challenges due to lack of granular security controls emerge sooner than you’d think — especially for teams working with loads of binary files — and that’s where Helix Core comes in.

The Helix Core platform is built to handle the large files and project repos common in game engine (or real-time 3D engine) workflows — and it even offers a visual library your art teams can use to preview, review, and get feedback on their assets with Helix DAM.

Using Git with Perforce Helix Core

The Helix Core platform provides one source of truth, with multiple ways to see and maintain it. For teams that need to use Git, our free Helix Core Git Connector provides a secure path for your developers to use their preferred Git tools (including GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket), while your art and design teams use a version control solution that won’t slow your studio down. 

With the Helix Core Git Connector, Git code can be combined with all of your other digital assets inside Helix Core so that you can maintain a single source of truth for builds.

Why Teams Using Git Trust Helix Core

Advanced Branching Models with Built-in Visualization

Managing workflows with multiple vendors, contractors, and remote teams can get complex. Helix Core’s advanced branching models (via Streams) allow you to orchestrate the relationship with users and files with a level of control you can’t get anywhere else. 

File-level (and IP address-specific) Permissions

Protect your most valuable IP, and give collaborators access to only the files they need. Only Helix Core offers granular access control down to the file level and by IP address.  

Version Control Solutions for Art and Design

Let your creators version with no-code by dragging and dropping their files into our free companion app, Helix Sync or through our intuitive digital asset management system, Helix DAM. 

Large File size and Repo Handling

Helix Core is designed to handle large assets over 100MB, project repos over 10TBs, and global, multi-site topologies. It’s why Helix Core is at the center of development across industries—from gaming and VFX, to semiconductor and automotive.
