Resources folder sitesync

General

Hi, i found this info in doc and i believe this means that after every workfile publish sitesync will sync this folder too so all not published but nessessary files like textures was used or models will be synced

How this folder work and how to make it work?

I don’t think this is a sitesync issue @Petr_Kalis. I suspect the issue is that the AYON Houdini integration does not collect those “dependencies” as resource files to publish along with the workfile. (Admittedly, I’d say with good reason because they may be massive files.)

As far as I’m aware these ‘resources’ that should be synced would still end up being part of the published version (meaning that every publish would copy those files, etc.)

It feels more like some confusion from the documentation?

  1. Any publish can publish along ‘resources’, which are basically additional files that are NOT the representation itself.
  2. Some publishes do that, e.g. Maya Looks and Houdini looks do that to contain the textures with the published look. (And according to these docs here some workfile publishes also do that? I personally don’t know any that do that for Workfiles, but according to these docs there may be some?)

Or the documentation is just plain wrong?

For me i want even houdini to sync this folder because when i give a task to a frelanser a lot of times it means- Just work and give me shot ready to editing so they dont want to go thought compex publishing process of publishing every asset they were using in a scene so it would be nice to give them a single folder in whitch they can put all assets and after sync i will have a coplete scene no matter file size, because i’d prefer to wait till sync not to loose files

maybe this is not a bug though

maybe i get something wrong setting up folder or missunderstood the logic

is this soppose to sync like that?
