"What attracted us to MOG was its ability to automate the art-team's workflow and reduce complexities associated with data preparation and packaging," said Sean Megaw, Associate Producer at BioWare. "We were impressed by the ease with which MOG was integrated into our project's code base and after an in-depth evaluation decided that this was the right tool for us."
