PublishThe Publish app allows artists to publish their work so that it can be used by artists downstream. It supports traditional publishing workflows within the artist’s content creation software as well as stand-alone publishing of any file on disk. When working in content creation software and using the basic Shotgun integration, the app will automatically discover and display items for the artist to publish. For more sophisticated production needs, studios can write custom publish plugins to drive artist workflows. |

Shotgun Engine for the ShellThe Shotgun engine for the shell works in conjunction with the Tank command. Once the engine has been installed, you can run Shotgun Pipeline Toolkit apps straight from the command line. The Tank command will take care of listing and presenting the user with the different installed apps that are available. The engine forms the bridge between the terminal and the installed apps. If you have PySide or PyQt installed, you can run apps that have a UI straight from a shell. |

Perforce Shotgun SyncThis app is the link between Perforce and Shotgun. Newly submitted Perforce changes containing files recognised by Toolkit will have a Revision entity created for them in Shotgun and each file revision will have a PublishedFile entity registered. The app can be run as a background process/daemon to ensure that Shotgun is kept in sync with Perforce. |

Launch ApplicationThe Launch app makes it easy to jump from Shotgun or other environments right into an application. It supports a number of common applications such as Maya, Nuke, Photoshop etc. - see the documentation for the full list. We are adding support for new applications regularly as we build engines for them. When an application is being launched, the Shotgun context (the current Work Area) is set and the Shotgun pipeline toolkit is initialized and launched. It also handles folder creation on disk if you are using a user work sandbox. When the app has launched you will see a Shotgun menu, focused around the context you selected in Shotgun, ready for you to start work right away in the right part of the file system. |

Apps that work in Multiple EnginesA majority of the Shotgun Pipeline Toolkit Apps are what we call multi apps; they have been designed to work in multiple environments. The same data loader or publishing system works for example in both Nuke, Maya, 3DS Max and other packages. This makes it easy to develop consistent looking pipelines and means that whenever a new engine is developed, a number of multi apps already exists and are typically quick to configure. Multi apps typically have a number of hooks in which they define the specific calls that each target environment requires. This makes it easy to customize their behaviour and at the same time keep their consistent look and feel. |

The app provides a simple UI on top of a highly customizable core that can be easily configured to publish any combination of files or data from a work scene and it's dependencies (e.g. the Maya scene, Nuke Script, OBJ's, Alembic Caches, Cameras, Textures, etc.). The multi publish app is used in all default configurations and can be easily configured to support workflows ranging from Alembic Cache generation in Maya to render publish in Nuke, art reference management in Photoshop or plate ingestion in the Shotgun and shell environments. |

Review SubmissionAn app that provides functionality to help submitting image sequences as Versions in Shotgun for review. This app does not have a UI but instead provides API methods for quicktime and review generation. You can call the app from your scripts, or from within hooks. For example, your publish configuration can call this as part of a post process hook if you want to create a quicktime and send it for review. This app will generate a quicktime with burn-ins and slates. You can configure if you want it to upload the quicktime to Shotgun or keep it on disk, or both. Lastly it will create a new version inside of Shotgun, ready to reviewed in Screening Room! |
