⚡ Hyper Shot — Blender has no native concept of shot states, so I built one

[sozap]

Yeah the way Blender Studio works is very similar to classic animation pipeline.
There are different software like kitsu that act as a database for the project and also store all the tasks , comments for the whole team.

This is indeed overkill for solo artist.

In that case, a smaller shot-management layer inside one .blend file can make more sense. That’s basically the space I’m trying to explore with Hyper Shot.

Yes, TBH there is a big stretch between a studio collaborative workflow, and something like what you did even for solo or small team project.
I think for animation ( meaning character animation, pixar stuff) the way Hyper Shot is structured feels a bit limiting. But that might be interesting for product viz, or mo-graph stuff.

BPM - Blender Project Manager 2.0 in progress

Hi blenderheads, Introducing BPM, Blender Project Manager, an addon helping with Project Management in Blender using primarily the VSE module. It’s designed for small project, and can be used with a team. Here’s a little screenshot of a VSE timeline with it : [image] Come discuss it on the discord : The addon is still in alpha version, it still lacks some major features and can be buggy, so be aware ! You can download it from here : And keep tracks on what’s in, what’s coming… here I…

VSE seems a good candidate with having scenes as shots for solo or small team project. Especially with recent additions in VSE where you can switch scenes as scrubbing the timeline. Using scenes isn’t perfect if say you want to share some render settings but it leaves a bit more breathing space to account for all the different stuff that could happen in different shots.

What you did is cool too and different projects different needs, and each experiment is interesting. Anyway, if you’re looking for something that would be useful to many VSE is worth investigating !
