Default ayon-config folder

General
1

Hello,

I am new to AYON and I am looking forward to developing a pipeline for the VFX studio. I am still reading throught the AYON documentation and want to test it out in the studio. As of now I have set up the server and downloaded the Launcher from the Web UI, but I am unsure what would be the next step so I can test it. Is there a guide for beginners? Also, do I need an ayon-config folder? If so, is there a default version available anywhere online or do I need to build it from scratch?

Any tips for beginners would be greatly appreciated. I have read through some of the post on the community site and they are very helpful but any additional support would be amazing.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Best regards,
Sergio

Hello,
AYON can be used for different purposes based on your studio’s needs.
e.g. you can use AYON for pipeline. you can use AYON for production tracking.

To have a fully woking AYON, you’d need

  1. A running AYON instance.
  2. Getting latest pipeline release.

Then, you’ll be able to start using it in your studio.
e.g. you can:

  • Create projects with folders and tasks.
  • Add users / team members
  • Assign tasks to users.
  • Configure studio and project settings based on your liking.
  • Test its pipeline capabilities.

Additionally, AYON was built to be generic, that allows you to build your workflows on top of it.
AYON also is modular where you can extend its functionlity via creating your own studio addon.

Hello Mustafa,

Thank you for your response. I want to test out the pipeline capabilities first, and attempt to integrate it with FlowProductionTracking for production tracking. After setting up the server and downloading the launcher, what is the appropriate next step? Setting up the anatomy or creating an ayon-config folder? Do I need to set up anything else for testing?

Best regards,
Sergio

You’d need to create a project.
Animation_1006

Then, you’d need to create project hierarchy folders and tasks.
Animation_1007

Afterwards, you should be able to see the project hierarchy in the launcher where you can start working with different apps in AYON.
