For deeper integration, the toolkit includes a Python API. This allows pipeline engineers to script complex workflows directly into a studio’s pipeline management system (like Shotgun/ShotGrid, ftrack, or proprietary tools). It provides access to the inner workings of Substance graphs, enabling: substance automation toolkit
