pyblish-hiero

This page will walk you through integrating Pyblish with Foundry Hiero.

Prerequisities

Make sure you have installed Pyblish before continuing.

• See Installing Pyblish

Introduction

The integration comes in the form of a menu-item called "Publish", located directly under File.

Once clicked, it will display a Pyblish graphical user interface.

Installation

Ensure Pyblish for Hiero is on your PYTHONPATH and run this within Hiero.

import pyblish_hiero
pyblish_hiero.setup()

You can then show the Pyblish graphical user interface by calling show().

pyblish_hiero.show()

Persistence

It is recommended that you allow Pyblish to load upon launching Hiero. For this to work, add the pyblish_hiero/hiero_plugin_path directory to your HIERO_PLUGIN_PATH

(2) You can find your pythonpath directory here:

pyblish-hiero/pyblish_hiero/hiero_plugin_path

As you will find, this directory contains sub-directories leading to two python files; pyblish_startup.py, active_project_tracker.py and selection_tracker.py.

pyblish_startup.py

This sets up Pyblish similar to pyblish_hiero.setup()

active_project_tracker.py

This ensures that you can access the active project outside of Hiero, via hiero.activeProject which is added to the hiero module by this tracker. This is also injected into the context, so you can easily access the active project with context.data('activeProject')

selection_tracker.py

This ensures that you can access the active selection outside of Hiero, via hiero.selection which is added to the hiero module by this tracker. This is also injected into the context, so you can easily access the active selection with context.data('selection')
