Softwares
=========

Setup your softwares environment here.
Assign an executable path to any software you will use during your production.

.. important::
	This executable path should be the same for all the users in the team, you have two solutions for that:

	- Use a default installation path ( such as C:/Program Files/... )
	- Install your softwares on a shared drive ( may be slower to open and use )

You can create addtionnal script paths ( python ) that will be accessible in the softwares
and additionnal environment variables.

.. note::
	Use the |magic| button to easily guess the softwares path. It doesn't always work.

- Substance Painter doesn't have a batch option
- For Houdini it is hython.exe
