Free Pipeline Management
With Prism, Richard Frangenberg has released a free pipeline management tool for animation & VFX that is currently compatible with Houdini, Maya, 3DS Max, Blender and Nuke. Furthermore, it can work with other well-known tools, such as RV, DJV or VLC for media playback. Deadline and Pandora can be used for farm submission and Shotgun for project tracking.
You can find a precise list of all features, tutorials and the documentation for the management tool on the Prism Pipeline website.
Prism is free for everyone to use. Anyone who wants to support the project through their own efforts, however, can do so HERE.
