file versioning

#1 · 21. August 2023, 13:14

curently testing in houdini and using out of the box tools that prism provides.

right now i have issue with keeping versions numbers consistent.

what im doing:

creating a hip file with a box, then using from top menu prism -> save version, and im getting like this up to lets say v0004

then i setup prism playblast from state manager, and i got v0001 , and then v0002

and next doing prism LOP render and im finishing with v0001

so in the end i have:
hip file - v0005 ( LOP_Render has "version up scene" on")
playblast - v0002
beauty render - v0001.

so ill get a bit confused at end what version is related to what file.

The scenefile versions are separately versioned from the the product/media versions. You can always rightclick your product/media versions and check the versioninfo to find out from which scenefile a product/media version was created. That way you could create multiple product versions from a single scenefile.

Using a custom Prism plugin you can also enable an option to link the scenefile versions to the product/media versions. In the next update this option will probably be exposed in the project settings.
