anyone know if there's a good SVN or P4 plugin for #blender ? (or any other revision control system where you can lock files centrally)

EDIT: idk if either of these are good, but I found plugins for both immediately after posting this.

SVN: https://studio.blender.org/tools/addons/blender_svn

P4: https://help.perforce.com/helix-core/helix-dam/current/Content/HelixDAM-User/integrating-with-Blender-installing.html

I'm interested in Opinions and Experience though if you've used either.

"SVN Checkout is not supported due to limitations with giving progress feedback in the UI for such a long process. Do your checkouts via the command line" well what's the point then >:(

@aeva realizing, as i start to plan an year of focused gamedev derusting then learning, that, actually, setting up a SVN server in a managed machine does not sound like a crazy idea...

[aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place]

ah ok the blender SVN plugin UI looks like a nice way to journal changes and keep my machines in sync, and it shows if something is out of date on a given machine, so that much is nice

I like that it has a little video demo to show what it does.

@conchoid you're going to be shocked to hear this, but when I want to make art I want to just make art I don't want to spend hours reading "man pages" instead

@gureito @aeva
I was totally thrown by the use of the term "derusting" here

[aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@gureito I came to the conclusion that git was not suitable for tracking art a while back, and after keeping my ear to the ground for years in hopes of finding free alternatives and coming up with nothing I realized the Blender folks are still using SVN for their various short film and occasional game projects.

@conchoid eat your heart out

TortoiseSVN is a good Windows GUI with Windows shell plugin. Very easy to use.

any relations to the programming language are not intended. probably. ☺️

@aeva

Demos without strong accents, that is sharp enough to see the screen, and slow enough to be able to catch where the pointer goes, without extrainious pointer moves, the pointer equivalent of ums, er's, and uh'a.

Bonus points for chapters and time indexes.

ok that's a new one. the documentation section of the SVN project page tells you to go buy a manual (or consult an out dated excessively verbose online book)
https://subversion.apache.org/docs/

i thought ok maybe they're just selling books to fund the project~~NO the "purchase" link just points to i shit you not a google search for "site:amazon.com Subversion version control"
