pathbase

VFX Example

This example models a common visual effects layout with show, sequence, shot, step, and frame fields.

Example template:

/mnt/projects/{show}/{sequence}/{shot}/{step}/{task}_{descriptor}_v{version:03d}.{frame:04d}.{ext}

Example filepath:

/mnt/projects/bigbuckbunny/seq001/shot010/lighting/render_beauty_v001.1001.exr

Example env file: examples/vfx/pathbase.env

curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rsgalloway/pathbase/master/examples/vfx/pathbase.env -o pathbase.env

Try it:

ENVPATH=./examples/vfx/ pathbase parse \
  '/mnt/projects/bigbuckbunny/seq001/shot010/lighting/render_beauty_v001.1001.exr'

Expected output:
