Plug-in control method and device for animation production team

Abstract

The invention relates to a plug-in control method and a plug-in control device for an animation production team. The method comprises the following steps that: 1) a client sends connection request information to a server; 2) the server tries to accept the connection of the client; 3) the animation production team judges whether the connection is successful, if so, executes the step 5), otherwise, executes the step 4); 4) when the current server fails in the connection, the client searches whether other available servers exist, if so, the step 2) is repeated, otherwise, the request fails; 5) the server checks a data source load condition, selects a data source with a low load as a connection data source; and the like. The device comprises a server cluster, a switchboard and the client, wherein the server cluster is connected with the client through the switchboard. Compared with the prior art, the invention has the advantages that: in a large-sized team, great convenience is supplied to complicated application with a plurality of parallel items and a plurality of coexisting software environments, and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an animation plug-in control method and device, in particular to a plug-in control method and device that can be used by an animation production team. Background technique [0002] Today's animation production often puts forward many custom requirements for tools or new requirements for effects. Most commercial animation software achieves the goal by providing users with ways to write plug-ins and scripts. Generally speaking, a feature-length animation or movie will be produced using a variety of commercial software, and will also involve a large number of plug-ins and scripting tools. There are often hundreds, or even thousands of people involved in the production. In this case, the control and maintenance of plug-ins and tools will become an important task. [0003] It is very unscientific to install all plug-ins or tools on each user's computer, and the troubles and version confusion caused by it often bring huge cost cons...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] First of all, such a method is difficult to provide sufficient flexibility and controllability, and the administrator cannot control different users accordingly, and it is also difficult to quickly adjust the configuration of the plug-in according to project changes, and the configuration method for different host software is also different. exactly the same

[0005] Secondly, for many production software, sharing tools or plug-ins in this way often causes data and execution programs for various purposes to be piled up in a common location, which greatly increases the difficulty of maintenance, especially for Self-developed plug-ins and tools, version control will become very complicated

[0006] In addition, simple data sharing will also bring risks. Once the provision of shared services fails unexpectedly, the work of the entire team will be seriously affected

At the same time, the location change of the data source must also interrupt the use of all users

Although a high-availability cluster can avoid this problem, it will bring high hardware and software costs
