Blueprint

Blueprint is a job description library for the Plow Render Farm. It simplifies the creation of a Plow job spec structure, allows execution of arbitrary python code on Plow, and provides hooks for integration into your existing pipeline

Application Modules

A Blueprint application module is necessary for wrapping your application/code to run on Plow. Blueprint will eventually include core modules for:

• Maya
• MotionBuiler
• Nuke
• Katana
• Blender
• Houdini
• Open Image IO

Also included are modules for executing arbitrary shell commands, python code, file search, and other pipeline related tasks.

Plugins

Blueprint includes an event driven plugin system which can be used to intercept job events and execute arbitrary code.
