Information for App Developers

VRED Project Management

Whenever the ShotGrid 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.

Working with tk-vred
