Hi, all

Thanks to those who attended the North America timezone Office Hours today! Just to recap the information we went over:

• Before starting, you want to get an idea of what information is coming into your studio, what information you want to track, and want information needs to leave your studio. It’s best to visually map out your workflow. Here are some tips to how to frame your mindset on getting started.
• Find our tutorials and videos on how to get started.
• Tasks are a breakdown of the work needed to complete a Shot.
  • We created Tasks .
  • We saved those Tasks as a Template in context.
  • We scheduled using the Gantt chart.
  • We updated the bid information and added Time logs so we could understand how far along a Task was.
  • We created custom fields .
  • We created conditional formatting rules to make certain records stand out on a page.
• When you want to share your work with a client, we highly recommend you try out our Client Review Site, where you can send a playlist directly to others without needing to pay for an additional license of Shotgun!

As always, please reach out if anything is unclear. See you all at the next one!

Best,
Tram

Thanks all for attending todays EMEA office hours, thought I would post some links about some of the things we all discussed, and as always, if you have more questions post them here to the forums!

Great resource for getting started with developing SG tools;

• https://developer.shotgunsoftware.com/

Our community built integrations including toonboom’s Harmony, link to the forum release post where conversation is still ongoing;

• Community Shared Integrations
• Toon Boom Harmony | Shotgun Toolkit Engine Released

Our docs on graphing;

• https://support.shotgunsoftware.com/hc/en-us/articles/360009654734-Time-series-status-history-and-burndown-charts

As discussed I think starting a thread about how people utilise the functions of the graphs in a real production environment is a great idea, I’ll start a thread in the main channel and link it here.

Also about customising publishes in Houdini (or any other DCC that has a tk engine) @Marian_Villaris had the link to the video where Josh goes over this;

Thankyou everyone again, great to hear the successes you are seeing and thanks again to Marian for spreading the gospel
