A program to organize Blender Animation Projects.
Blender-Pipeline ( known also as Blender-Organizer and VCStudio ) is a program to organize Blender Animation Projects.
In about 2016 for the "I'm Not Even Human" project, J.Y.Amihud wrote a small GTK application to organize the project a little bit. Every animation asset required a folder and sub-folders that were tedious to maintain manually. Later more functionality was added, such as checklists for every asset and shot in the movie. Making it possible to calculate the progress of the film and compare it against the deadline.
By 2018 a decision was made to rewrite a big chunk of the program to include a script editor. At first the idea was to develop a custom scene selector that would work similarly to a video editor. With a timeline and strips representing scenes in the script. But later the design changed a bit making those scenes instead be Nodes on a 2D plane connected together in the sequence of the movie. The arrangement of which on the 2D plane could be decided by the user based on the user's preferences. With that version a short film "The Package, The Car & The Time Is Running Out" was made. And later in 2020 "Moria's Race" project was started. This version of the program was known as Blender-Organizer and was under the GNU GPL version 2. It is still available at: https://github.com/JYamihud/blender-organizer/
In 2020 python2 support officially dropped from a lot of GNU / Linux distributions. And due to syntax and other changes between python2 and python3, a decision was made to re-do the program from scratch. The new version was published under the GPU GPL version 3 or later. And was briefly called "VCStudio". Later to avoid confusion with a text editor from Microsoft a name was changed to "Blender-Pipeline". With this program "Moria's Race" was finished.
At LibrePlanet 2024 J.Y.Amihud presented "Moria's Race" and Blender-Pipeline on a talk.
