Documentation
The Shotgun engine for VRED contains a standard platform for integrating Shotgun Apps into VRED. It is lightweight and straight forward and adds a Shotgun menu to the VRED menu.
The Shotgun engine for VRED contains a PySide installation, and will activate this whenever this is necessary.
Whenever the Shotgun engine for VRED starts, it will set the VRED Project to point at a location defined in the settings for this engine. This means that the Project may also change when a new file is opened. The details relating to how the VRED project is set based on a file can be configured in the configuration file, using the template system.
This Shotgun integration supports the VRED product family (Pro & Design).
When VRED opens, a Shotgun menu (the VRED engine) is added to the menu bar.
