Hello taiyeong,
Great to have you here
Let’s take it step by step.
yes, that’s correct.
Openpype which itself is the pipeline desktop application and everything is saved in a mongo db.
AYON consists of many parts, in essence:
- Ayon Server: where you have many tools, e.g. add users, set studio pipeline and project settings, create new projects, dashboard to manage your projects… and it saves the data into postgres db and you don’t have to worry about it unless you know what you are doing.
for reference: Jump to ayon.cloud to see how Ayon server looks - Ayon Launcher: which is the pipeline desktop app where you launch DCCs for different tasks as you normally do in openpype.
Good news. you can get Ayon up and running in few steps:
- Get and run Ayon Docker
- Launch Ayon Bootstrap (it’s launched automatically when running Ayon Server for the first time.)
- From users/artists machine go to downloads
All of these steps are discussed in more details in these posts:
It’s mentioned in post mentioned above minimal step by step guide, basic administration
but, in short:
Right click and open a project
Then go to editor and start adding your asset folders.
P.S. Ayon will create folders when you need them, i.e. when launching a task or saving a file.
It doesn’t create folder trees on project creation.
