This version (or newer) of Flame must be used in order for the Toolkit Flame Engine to function. For more info on Flame 2015 Extension 2 (including how to get it), reach out to Flame Support.
The simplest way to get started with the Flame Engine is to set up a new test project with our example pipeline configuration. Since the Flame Engine is new and in rapid development, the example configuration is being kept in Github, rather than the Toolkit App Store (where the standard default configuration lives, for example). Installation is easy and can be done entirely in Shotgun Desktop. Here's a quick walkthrough:
1: Create a new project in Shotgun and navigate to it in Shotgun Desktop. Click on the blue "Set Up Project" button to begin:
2: Since the Flame example configuration is in Github, choose the Git option in the Select Configuration screen:
3: Complete the rest of the setup:
- Return to the project view in Shotgun Desktop and Flame is ready to launch!
The Flame Engine also helps associate the Shotgun project with a Flame project, and creates it if need be. This is key to the integration, as it ensures data from Flame gets associated with the right things in Shotgun. As an added feature, the Flame engine provides functionality for managing the naming conventions of Flame projects as well as the other various settings for the project.
