Shotgun and distributed location workflow

Hey Pawel! Welcome!

Between @figgy and @Ricardo_Musch’s advice, you’re in good hands, but I wanted to add a few notes:

  • On the artist pipeline side, Shotgun provides a good solution for distributing your tools – you can upload a Toolkit Pipeline Configuration to your Shotgun site, potentially including any custom tools you want to provide remote artists, then when artists launch content creation software (Maya, Nuke, etc.) in a Shotgun-aware way, their local cache of the tools is auto-updated so they have the latest. You can learn more about Distributed Configs here.
  • While we do have a mechanism for distributing toolsets, we don’t have one for sharing/transferring files. But, our clients have solved that piece in different ways. There’s a nice discussion about it in this shotgun-dev post.
