shotgridAutomating a Spine Rig in Maya with Python
Learn how to automate a five‑joint spine rig in Maya using the Python API, with a ready‑to‑run script, verification steps, and key trade‑offs to consider.
mayaAutomating ShotGrid Asset Status Updates with the Python API
Bridge the gap between pipeline tools and ShotGrid by automating asset status transitions with the Python API. Learn connection setup, targeted queries, batch updates, and handling partial failures.
Optimizing ShotGrid Data Retrieval: Moving Beyond find_all()
ShotGrid's find_all() method works for small datasets but fails at scale. Learn to implement paginated fetching with limit and page parameters to keep memory flat and avoid timeouts when processing tens of thousands of production entities.
Reducing API Latency in ShotGrid: Avoiding the N+1 Query Trap
Stop the N+1 query trap in ShotGrid. Learn how to use bulk filters and specific field requests in the Python API to reduce latency and optimize asset status updates.
