At our studio we are using Maya and Blender with Ayon. In Maya we have the very solid cbId workflow, where you can publish and assign looks. I did not find such a workflow for Blender. Before I reinvent the wheel I was wondering how are other studios using Blender and Ayon in this regard. What is t…

The Ayon’s team released it today, in the latest version of ayon-blender : 1.0.21 Implementation of Look Product Type ynput:develop ← ynput:feature/YN-0397--Blender--Introduce-a-Look-product-type o…

A Quick Note: AYON USD contribution workflow is the recent alternative for cbId workflow.

Hi @Nielsm I wouldn’t say we are a standard bearer for this but we have spent some time looking into this particular workflow here at THE LINE. We too, use an animation > lighting pipeline of Maya and Blender with AYON, and this is dictated by the aesthetic we generally go for as a studio. We use …

Thanks for the detailed description of your workflow! Sounds exactly what I’m looking for. I’ll take a detailed look into the look assigner and see if it’s adaptable for our way of working. @mustafa_jafar USD is definitely something on my wishlist to (eventually) implement, but it requires a differ…

sure, no worries! I’d say our workflow isn’t particularly forward thinking but it does align with Blender’s ABC/Datablock workflow. One thing to note about Maya > Blender is unitscales. Stuff natively made in Maya result in huge scales on objects imported in Blender, even with ABC. We lock AYON’s bl…

Hi, Instead of Alembic, we try to publish .blend files. In Blender we use Ayon-->Load to get the geometry (for example version v003). Then we attach some material to that object. Later, if we use Ayon-->Manage to change the geometry version (for example v004), the material and all its nodes disa…

Reading the messages above, related to Alembic in Blender, it’s not a solution right now. And fbx also has the same problem as .blend files. So it leaves us with 2 solutions : Blender links. There is a PR here : Add Link Scene Loader by BigRoy · Pull Request #105 · ynput/ayon-blender · GitHub US…

[image] Yul: Blender links. There is a PR here : Add Link Scene Loader by BigRoy · Pull Request #105 · ynput/ayon-blender · GitHub USD : all docs and discussions talk about Houdini and Maya, so I guess the Blender part does not have as much features ? I’d cross of USD for the foreseeable fut…
