Shotgun Engine for Katana

tk-katana

A Shotgun Engine for Katana

This engine provides Shotgun Toolkit integration for The Foundry's Katana.

It has been generously made public by Light Chaser Animation with help from The Foundry.

Thanks to Ying Jie Kong (Jerry) at Light Chaser and to Sam Saxon at the Foundry for their contributions.

WWFX UK

Forked from robblau's v0.1.0 to hopefully make it production capable again for:

• Shotgun 8 and above
• Katana 3.0
  • 3.1 uses PyQt5, yet to decide on how to go about it

Patches by others

Some initial patches by other have been included early during this fork:

• Patches by RodeoFX up to v0.1.1_rdo3
• AppCommand changes by Gael-Honorez-sb

Installation

CURRENTLY INCOMPLETE. Ideally, this would be as informative as the excellent tk-natron README

After taking over the project configurations

1. Locate where you installed the project configurations
2. Add this section to config/env/includes/engine_locations.yml

   # Katana
   engines.tk-katana.location:
   type: git
   path: https://github.com/wwfxuk/tk-katana.git
   branch: master

3. Then, create config/env/includes/settings/tk-katana.yml, placing this inside:

   includes:
   # - ../app_locations.yml
   - ../engine_locations.yml
   # - ./tk-multi-loader2.yml
   # - ./tk-multi-publish2.yml
   # - ./tk-multi-screeningroom.yml
   # - ./tk-multi-shotgunpanel.yml
   # - ./tk-multi-snapshot.yml
   - ./tk-multi-workfiles2.yml    
   
   # shot_step
   settings.tk-katana.shot_step:
   apps:
       # tk-multi-about:
       #   location: "@apps.tk-multi-about.location"
       # tk-multi-breakdown:
       #   location: "@apps.tk-multi-breakdown.location"
       # tk-multi-setframerange:
       #   location: "@apps.tk-multi-setframerange.location"
       # tk-multi-loader2: "@settings.tk-multi-loader2.katana"
       # tk-multi-publish2: "@settings.tk-multi-publish2.katana.shot_step"
       # tk-multi-screeningroom: "@settings.tk-multi-screeningroom.rv"
       # tk-multi-shotgunpanel: "@settings.tk-multi-shotgunpanel.katana"
       # tk-multi-snapshot: "@settings.tk-multi-snapshot.katana.shot_step"
       tk-multi-workfiles2: "@settings.tk-multi-workfiles2.katana.shot_step"
   menu_favourites:
   # - {app_instance: tk-multi-workfiles2, name: File Open...}
   # - {app_instance: tk-multi-snapshot, name: Snapshot...}
   - {app_instance: tk-multi-workfiles2, name: File Save...}
   # - {app_instance: tk-multi-publish2, name: Publish...}
   location: '@engines.tk-katana.location'

4. Update the apps using the tank command in the project configurations folder:

   ./tank cache_apps
