ftrack connect 3 in maya

[laura]

Hi, 

I am looking into integrating ftrack connect 3 in our pipeline and so far I'm having some issues/questions:

• Is there any replacement for Maya Import Asset and  Asset Manager?  Since there is only "Open" plugin available, how can we create a scene with multiple assets and, afterwards, change versions of those assets ?

 

• It seems that the environment variables are ovwerwritten/removed in maya...
  • For eg. I need to register a custom location, so I have defined the FTRACK_EVENT_PLUGIN_PATH in ftrack connect 

                    "FTRACK_EVENT_PLUGIN_PATH": "\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\ftrack Connect\\resource\\hook\"",

    In maya this env var is not defined, so the location is not registered: 

    import os
    print (os.getenv("FTRACK_EVENT_PLUGIN_PATH"))
    None

     If I define it maya and intialize a session , the location is registered. 

    os.environ["FTRACK_EVENT_PLUGIN_PATH"]="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\ftrack Connect\\resource\\hook"
    
    import ftrack_api
    session = ftrack_api.Session()
