But here are the kinds of combinations I have seen: - Version/Publishing solution is its own service ; Production Tracking / Assignments is its own service that sources from VnP - Pure manual file system conventions for storing in a versioned structure; completely detached production tracking - Pure manual file system ... ; Separate tools update metadata + Production tracking sources that metadata The one thing I haven't worked with yet is the off the shelf solutions that set you up with the entire pipeline in one box: Asset and Production Tracking, Version and Publishing, data management Like Marcus was saying, it comes down to: 1. how robust of a system you want, for integration 2. how many areas of the the pipeline it needs to cover 3. how many people it needs to serve 4. how much you are willing to spend 5. do you have on-site developers "Rolling your own" can be an endeavor, but then again if your needs are very small then maybe you only need it to do a few simple things. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Python Programming for Autodesk Maya" group.
