Populating SVN

This is the folder that should contain a version controlled file system to be shared over the network. (By using SVN, GIT-LFS, etc). Connect this folder to your version control software of choice and create the following folder structure. More details about shared folder structure can be found here

Initial Directory Set-Up

  1. Follow the SVN-Setup guide to create your SVN repository before populating the directory with folders. (optional)
  2. Use the following commands to generate the below folder structure.
    bash
    # Linux/Mac
    cd ~/data/blender-studio-pipeline/scripts/project-tools
    ./init_project_folder_structure.py ~/data/your_project_name/svn --json_file folder_structure_svn.json
    # Linux/Mac
    cd ~/data/blender-studio-pipeline/scripts/project-tools
    ./init_project_folder_structure.py ~/data/your_project_name/svn --json_file folder_structure_svn.json
    bash
    # Windows
    cd %HOMEPATH%\data\blender-studio-pipeline\scripts\project-tools
    python init_project_folder_structure.py %HOMEPATH%\data\your_project_name\svn --json_file folder_structure_svn.json
    # Windows
    cd %HOMEPATH%\data\blender-studio-pipeline\scripts\project-tools
    python init_project_folder_structure.py %HOMEPATH%\data\your_project_name\svn --json_file folder_structure_svn.json
