Fusion: Saver creator settings

Adding Saver creator settings and enhanced rendering path with template.

Validators for Frame Range in Max

  • Switch Render Frame Range Type to 3 for specific ranges (initial setup for the range type is 4)
  • Reset Frame Range will also set the frame range for render settings
  • Render Collector won’t take the frame range from context data but take the range directly from render setting
  • Add validators for render frame range type and frame range respectively with repair action

Similar to Maya, validator for frame range is optional. By default, it is off.
The one which check the render frame range type is mandatory.

Kitsu - more reviewable families

You can now publish families image, online and plate directly to kitsu review, so there’s no need to go around the pipeline and upload them manually.

Maya template builder with custom references

When building a template with Maya template builder, we now import the template while preserving all the references inside the template file. That means you can now use even references from outside of the project in your templates.

Full changelog:

:new: New features

Addons directory #4893

This adds a directory for Addons, for easier distribution of studio specific code.

Kitsu - Add "image", "online" and "plate" to review families #4923

This PR adds “image”, “online” and “plate” to the review families so they also can be uploaded to Kitsu.It also adds the Add review to Kitsu tag to the default png review. Without it the user would manually need to add it for single image uploads to Kitsu and might confuse users (it confused me first for a while as movies did work).

Feature/remove and load inv action #4930

Added the ability to remove and load a container, as a way to reset it.This can be useful in cases where a container breaks in a way that can be fixed by removing it, then reloading it.Also added the ability to add InventoryAction plugins by placing them in openpype/plugins/inventory.

:rocket: Enhancements

Maya template builder - preserve all references when importing a template #4797

When building a template with Maya template builder, we import the template and also the references inside the template file. This causes some problems:

  • We cannot use the references to version assets imported by the template.
  • When we import the file, the internal reference files are also imported. As a side effect, Maya complains about a reference that no longer exists.// Error: file: /xxx/maya/2023.3/linux/scripts/AETemplates/AEtransformRelated.mel line 58: Reference node 'turntable_mayaSceneMain_01_RN' is not associated with a reference file.
