Abstract:
We present our modern pipeline, Conduit, developed for Blue Sky’s upcoming feature film, Nimona. Conduit refers to a set of tools and web services that allow artists to find, track, version and quality control their work. In addition to describing the system and implementation, we will discuss the challenges and opportunities of developing and deploying a pipeline with the intention of open sourcing the resulting toolset. We found that communicating concepts and progress updates both internally and externally throughout the development process ultimately resulted in a more robust solution.
