Hello,
I have successfully published from Nuke to AYON, however I noticed that the EXR files exist in two different paths in the project folder on disk.
I believe one of these paths comes from the “Creator Plugin → Create Write Render” with this value for “temporary rendering path template: {work}/renders/nuke/{product[name]}/{product[name]}.{frame}.{ext}”,
while I believe that the other comes from the project anatomy in the “Publish → render” anatomy.
Won’t this take up twice as much space on disk? Also, in our studio we are planning on having everything in the “shots” folder, and each shot should have a “plate”, “renders” and “workfiles” subfolders. How can I do this without duplicating the material?
Thank you in advance for any help you can give.
This is related to how the publishing system work in AYON’s Pipeline.
where publish process exports the files to an intermediate location called Staging Directory and then move it to the publish location Publish Directory as explained here.
In the project anatomy there should be settings for staging and publish where you can specify templates for each of them.
It’s also worth mentioning that some integration addons don’t support staging directory templates and in this case the staging directory can be a hard coded value.
Additionally, in node-based apps, if the staging templates are supported, they are applied to the node on creation. however, I’m not sure if we provide validators to check whether or not users modified the path value.
Yes. however, any data in staging directory can be deleted once publish is finished.
