Introduction

LOGIK-PROJEKT is a toolset for the creation & lifecycle management of projekts for Autodesk Flame 2025 and newer.

The tools were developed with Autodesk Flame 2025+, Python 3.11, & PySide 6.


System Requirements


Hardware Requirements

  • Linux or macOS workstation, capable of running Autodesk Flame 2025+

Recommended Operating Systems

Software Requirements

Useful Software:


Preparation


Workstation Preparation (Linux):

# Check Static HostName (equivalent to macOS HostName)
hostnamectl status | grep "Static hostname"

# Check Transient HostName (equivalent to macOS LocalHostName)
hostnamectl status | grep "Transient hostname"

# Check Pretty HostName (equivalent to macOS ComputerName)
hostnamectl status | grep "Pretty hostname"

# Set the Static HostName (equivalent to macOS HostName)
sudo hostnamectl set-hostname <new-static-hostname>

# Set the Transient HostName (equivalent to macOS LocalHostName)
sudo hostnamectl set-hostname <new-transient-hostname> --transient

# Set Pretty HostName (equivalent to macOS ComputerName)
sudo hostnamectl set-hostname "<new-pretty-hostname>" --pretty

# Create a test directory for LOGIK-PROJEKTS:
sudo mkdir -p -m 777 /home/shared/PROJEKTS

# Link /PROJEKTS to test PROJEKTS directory:
sudo ln -s /home/shared/PROJEKTS /PROJEKTS

# Reboot workstation:
sudo reboot

Workstation Preparation (macOS):

# Check HostName (equivalent to Linux Static hostname)
scutil --get HostName

# Check LocalHostName (equivalent to Linux Transient HostName)
scutil --get LocalHostName

# Check ComputerName (equivalent to Linux Pretty HostName)
scutil --get ComputerName

# Set the HostName (equivalent to Linux Static hostname)
sudo scutil --set HostName <new-hostname>

# Set LocalHostName (equivalent to Linux Transient HostName)
sudo scutil --set LocalHostName <new-local-hostname>

# Set ComputerName (equivalent to Linux Pretty HostName)
sudo scutil --set ComputerName <new-computer-name>

# Create a test directory for LOGIK-PROJEKTS:
sudo mkdir -p -m 777 /Users/Shared/PROJEKTS

# Create /etc/synthetic.conf to link /PROJEKTS to test PROJEKTS directory:
echo "PROJEKTS	System/Volumes/Data/Users/Shared/PROJEKTS" | sudo tee /etc/synthetic.conf

(The whitespace between PROJEKTS and the path MUST BE A TAB, NOT WHITESPACE)

# Reboot workstation:
sudo reboot

Installation And Configuration


Flame 2025 Installation:

# (Linux)

# upgrade operating system
# install DKU
# install flame 2025
# create a stone called 'stonefs'

# (macOS)

# upgrade operating system
# install flame 2025
# create a stone called 'stonefs'

Post Flame 2025 Installation:

# (Linux)

# start flame 
# license the application
# create a test project

# (macOS)

# start flame 
# license the application
# create a test project

# You may need to enable these applications in:
# System Preferences | Privacy & Security | Full Disk Access

# DLmpd
# Flame
# ifffsWiretapServer
# Python3.11
# swdb
# sw_dbd
# sw_serverd
# Terminal
# Visual StudioCode
# wiretapgateway 

Configure Flame Preferences:

User Tokens tab
    ├── set User Name
    └── set User Nickname

Timeline tab
    ├── set Default Shot Name to:
    └── <name>_<background segment###>0

Batch/BFX Tab
    ├── set Default batch iteration name to
    └── <batch name>_v<iteration####>_<workstation>_<user nickname>

Media Panel Tab
    ├── set Batch shelf to 1
    ├── set Reel Group to 2
    ├── set Show Batch iterations (first column) 
    └── set Desktop Column: Set to “Copy From/To Batch”

LOGIK-PROJEKT Installation:

# Download or fork the release version of the LOGIK-PROJEKT repository
# from: https://github.com/flamelogik/LOGIK-PROJEKT
# to:   /path/to/your/home/workspace/GitHub/

mkdir -p -m 775 ~/workspace/GitHub/
cd ~/workspace/GitHub/
git clone [email protected]:flamelogik/LOGIK-PROJEKT.git

# Change to the LOGIK-PROJEKT directory
cd ~/workspace/GitHub/LOGIK-PROJEKT

# Establish the path to the current Autodesk Flame Python installation
install/get_current_adsk_python.sh

# Create Desktop Applications for LOGIK-PROJEKT
install/create_desktop_apps.sh

Running LOGIK-PROJEKT:

# On Linux, look in the Activities menu for LOGIK-PROJEKT.
# Add the desktop launcher to your favorites.
# Double click the desktop launcher to run LOGIK-PROJEKT.

# On macOS, look in the LOGIK-PROJEKT folder for the LOGIK-PROJEKT.app.
# Add the LOGIK-PROJEKT.app to your dock.
# Double click the LOGIK-PROJEKT.app to run LOGIK-PROJEKT.

Troubleshooting Permissions and Python:

# There may be permission errors on your PROJEKTS directory.
# Check that the permissions on your PROJEKTS directory are 777.

# Errors have been seen on Rocky Linux 8.7 and macOS 13 related to python:
# On Rocky Linux 8.7 errors have been seen related to python3.6.
# On macOS 13 errors have been seen related to python3.9.

# Possible Solutions:

1. Install the Desired Python Version:
- First, ensure you have the desired Python version installed.
- For example, to install Python 3.11:
    ```bash
    sudo dnf install python3.11
    ```

2. Configure Alternatives:
- Add the new Python version to the alternatives system:
    ```bash
    sudo alternatives --install /usr/bin/python3 python3 /usr/bin/python3.6 1
    sudo alternatives --install /usr/bin/python3 python3 /usr/bin/python3.11 2
    ```

3. Select the Default Python Version:
- Use the `alternatives` command to choose the default Python version:
    ```bash
    sudo alternatives --config python3
    ```
    You will see a list of installed Python versions.
    Select the number corresponding to Python 3.11.

4. Verify the Change:
- Check the Python version to ensure the switch was successful:
    ```bash
    python3 --version
    ```
