Assimilate has opened an online marketplace, the Assimilate Store, where artists can discover, trial and purchase the new Scratch Lab workflow tool for production and VFX dailies, as well as third-party software and selected hardware accessories that support the entire Scratch product line.

Scratch Lab, now available for download for $4,995 is a comprehensive end-to-end digital system for the review, QC, colour grading, conform and deliverables of dailies created during production, or during the VFX process. A new free trial version will be available in November 2011.  The store also offers a wide range of software and hardware accessory products developed by the growing community of third-party partners supporting the Scratch platform. At launch these include products from 3ality Technica, GenArts, RE:Vision Effects, 4K Co. Ltd, HS-Art, Calibrated Software and Tangent. Several third-party products are exclusive to the Assimilate Store. Assimilate-branded merchandise such as T-shirts and stickers are also available.
