Populating shared

This is the folder that should be shared over the network (using Syncthing, NFS shares, Samba, Dropbox, etc.). Connect this folder to your sharing software of choice and create the following folder structure. More details about the shared folder structure can be found here.

Initial Directory Set-Up

1. Create your shared folder directly in the target directory or symlink it to data/your_project_name/shared.
2. Use the following commands to generate the folder structure below.

   # Linux/Mac    
   cd ~/data/blender-studio-tools/scripts/project-tools
   ./init_project_folder_structure.py ~/data/your_project_name/shared --json_file folder_structure_shared.json

   # Windows
   cd %HOMEPATH%\data\blender-studio-tools\scripts\project-tools
   python init_project_folder_structure.py %HOMEPATH%\data\your_project_name\shared --json_file folder_structure_shared.json

Add Existing Directory to User Workstation
