• enable the add-on in blender
• PIP install the dependencies from requirements.txt

PIP

Installing through PIP

• installs the tool as a Python module

Instructions:

• PIP install the module from github

validation in a custom pipeline

Some of our partners require more advanced control of the validations. Here's a sample going through the basics.

import pyblish.api
import pyblish.util

# register rpm plugins
# this is done automatically if you use the RPM addon or script file path
import rpm_pyblish_plugins
rpm_pyblish_plugins.register()

# discover the validation plugins
plugins = pyblish.api.discover()

# collect meshes materials etc
context = pyblish.util.collect(plugins=plugins)

# run the validations
context = pyblish.util.validate(context=context, plugins=plugins)

# run autofix on all failed instances
for plugin in plugins:
    try:
        if hasattr(plugin, "fix"):
            pyblish_action = plugin.fix
            pyblish_action.process(self=pyblish_action, context=context, plugin=plugin)
    except Exception as e:
        print(traceback.print_tb(e.__traceback__))
        print("failed to fix:", e)
