Demo Movie Production

# The producer sends the content creation
# pipeline software using continuous
# integration (CI):

+ /tools/***

# Notice the eraser icon: the option
# rsync --delete is set on this filter
# to avoid having residual files at
# destination (file deletions and
# renaming at source are passed on
# destination to get an identical copy)

# We send the references to the other
# studios (designs, blueprint, storyboard)
# The option « rsync --delete » is set
# because our studio is the only one to
# add files here, so we can propagate file
# deletions and renaming

+ /refs/***

# The producer reviews the delivered files
# and copy them to the final folders when
# approved (this is an example workflow).
# We send these files back to the server,
# so they can be used by the next stages:

+ /asset/***
+ /sequence/***

# The producer is the only studio writing
# to these final folders and want to send
# an identical copy to the other studios
# so we also add the option rsync --delete

# The producer receives the published files
# from the other studios. If a file or
# directory name contains the characters
# "wip", we exclude it:

- *wip*
+ /pub/
+ /pub/asset/***
+ /pub/sequence/***

# Send the rendered frames
# the --delete option is used to get an exact copy
# at destination but other options can be used

+ /renders/***

# get some scenes dropped into this directory

+ /scenes_to_render/***

# get assets and sequences (approved and always up-to-date)

+ /assets/***
+ /sequences/***

# We automatically send to the server the
# assets we write in our local publish
# folder. Excluding our local files
# containing "wip": 

+ /pub/
- *wip*
+ /pub/asset/***

# We want to receive every references from
# the producer (designs, color, storyboard,
# animatic):

+ /refs/***

# We add the option rsync --delete so the
# producer can clean the refs folder we have
# on our local server

# This studio receives a local copy of the
# specific tools used by the production

+ /tools/***

# The option rsync --delete is used on this
# link so we get an exact copy of the

+ /pub/
- *wip*
+ /pub/asset/***

# We want to receive every references from
# the producer (designs, color, storyboard,
# animatic):

# We also publish the basic layout versions
# of the assets (bounding boxes, etc):

+ /pub/
+ /pub/asset/***
+ /pub/sequence/***

# This studio receives the references from
# the producer (designs, color, storyboard,
# animatic):

+ /refs/***

# This studio also constantly receives the
# approved assets that are used to populate
# the shot scenes:

# We want the producer to be able to clean
# our local refs folder so we add the option
# rsync --delete to this link

# are the only studio to write here and we
# can clean the renders directly from our
# side

# We receive from the producer the references
# we need (the animated storyboard and color
# tests) for our lighting/shading department:
