AYON core provides the base building blocks for all other AYON addons and integrations and is responsible for discovery and initialization of other addons.
- Some of its key functions include:
- It is used as the main command line handler in ayon-launcher application.
- Provides publishing plugins that are available to all AYON integrations.
- Defines the base classes for new pipeline integrations
- Provides global hooks
- Provides universally available loaders and launcher actions
- Defines pipeline API used by other integrations
- Provides all graphical tools for artists
- Defines AYON QT styling
- A bunch more things
Together with ayon-launcher , they form the base of AYON pipeline and is one of few compulsory addons for AYON pipeline to be useful in a meaningful way.
AYON-core is a successor to OpenPype repository (minus all the addons) and still in the process of cleaning up of all references. Please bear with us during this transitional phase.
