Screening Room Integration

Screening Room integration right inside your application.
Latest Version: v0.3.4 (beta)
For our version numbers, we follow the Semantic Versioning standard.
System Name: tk-multi-screeningroom
Please Note: This document describes functionality only available if you have taken control over a Toolkit configuration. Please refer to the Shotgun Integrations User Guide for more details.

This app launches Screening Room for the current context. Jumping into your review session has never been easier! Just click a button and Screening Room will open, focused on the particular shot or asset you are currently working on. This also makes it really easy to see your submitted versions in context or review different variations that you submitted from inside your content creation application.

Documentation

This is a small app that hooks up your current Maya session with Screening Room. It will add an item to the Shotgun menu saying Jump to Screening Room. Clicking this button will launch Screening Room and point it at the current Shotgun Toolkit Context - for example a Shot, Asset or a Task. You can then use Screening Room to browse all submitted content.

Alternatively, you can run your studio tank command and specify the project name to tell it which project to run the update check for:

Feel free to evolve these items; use them as a base for further independent development, make changes (and submit pull requests back to us!) or simply tinker with them to see how they have been built and how the toolkit works.
