Assembly Pipeline Foundations

Guide to key tools and file systems on the Render Network for Assembly Pipelines

There are a number of workflow tools, file systems, and libraries that are key to understanding in order to build successful assembly pipelines using Octane and the Render Network.

OCS vs ORBX

• OCS: Saves the current layout (.ocs file), ideal for saving the master scene.

• ORBX: Stores encapsulated objects (.orbx), ideal for asset libraries and importing.

Differential Upload

When preparing jobs for the Render Network using Render Network Manager, scenes are uploaded incrementally:

• Only new or changed assets are re-uploaded

• File trees and XRefs are respected

• Saves time and bandwidth
