SonyWWS / ATF

Authoring Tools Framework (ATF) is a set of C#/.NET components for making tools on Windows. ATF has been in continuous development in Sony Computer Entertainment's (SCE) Worldwide Studios central tools group since early 2005. ATF has been used by most SCE first party studios to make many custom tools such as Naughty Dog’s level editor and shader editor for The Last of Us, Guerrilla Games’ sequence editor for Killzone games (including the Killzone: Shadow Fall PS4 launch title), an animation blending tool at Santa Monica Studio, a level editor at Bend Studio, a visual state machine editor for Quantic Dream, sound editing tools, and many others.

I Have No Idea How To Open The ATF #35

Closed ghost closed 7 years ago

ghost commented 9 years ago

So long story short I downloaded the ZIP file and there is no application to install or run. I saw that most of the files were dependent on Visual Studio so I installed that but I have no idea what to do going forward. Any help would be appreciated.

If the download was successful, you should be able to open the samples solution file directly with Visual Studio's "Open Project" menu item. Look for Samples.vs2010.sln inside the Samples folder. Load it into Visual Studio. And, despite the name "vs2010" on the file, you can open it in newer versions of Visual Studio than 2010. This should give you a long list of projects to build and run from within Visual Studio showing off ATF in action. There are docs on those samples here: https://github.com/SonyWWS/ATF/wiki/ATF-Code-Samples
