Ex Machina was created in 1989 with the merger of two French CG production companies: Sogitec and the production division of Thomson Digital Image (TDI). With the born of Ex Machina, TDI itself then continued only involved in developing the Explore Software. Ex Machina has been involved in many different areas of CG production, both commercials and films including all formats ( Imax, 70/35mm, stereo, HVISION, etc.). Clients were mainly from Europe and Japan, with most of the large format films, such as IMAX, being produced for North American clients.

Like other major production companies, Ex Machina has also relied on developing it's own custom software. Its in-house character animation system 'Appia' was developed in 1991/92 and first used during the production of "World of Materials" directed by Jerzy Kukar. This was a 10 minute 70mm stereo movie for a Korean International Festival. (Ex Machina was also involved in the training of CG artists for a Korean CG company who did one part of the film.)
