This document discusses using Python in the animation industry. It describes how one person learned Python while working in animation. It also discusses using Python in Maya for animation work. The document then talks about building an animation pipeline using Python and ideas like version control, asset management databases, and behavior logging to analyze user interactions. It considers options like CouchDB and MongoDB for managing asset data and user behavior logs. Finally, it emphasizes that version control, databases, and cloud techniques can benefit many creative roles beyond just programmers.

We risk overlooking the much more important
story here, the real revolution, which is the
mass democratisation of the means of access,
storage and processing of data. This story
isn't about large organisations running
parallel software on tens of thousand of
servers, but about more people than ever
being able to collaborate effectively around a
distributed ecosystem of information, an
ecosystem of small data.

50. Takeaway
• Version
control
for
non-­‐
programmer
is
an
un-­‐
explored
area.
• Python
dominates
anima*on/VFX
industry.
• Anyone
can
benefit
from
NoSQL
and
other
cloud
techniques.
