See the documentation,the FMX 2017 Talk - Open Source Pipeline and my YouTube Channel.
Plex is currently in the v2 pre-alpha stage, which means it is barely functional. Our goal is to release version 2.0 by the end of the year. This update will enhance every aspect of the pipeline while maintaining it as a free, open-source resource for any visual effects, animation and gaming project.

Plex is an Visual Effects, Animation and Games pipeline that manages critical workflows during production. Its core is a flexible and self-contained system for small to medium sized projects and companies. The basic idea is to manage the file and folder structure, set the ground rules and manage the workflow to allow collaboration in a complex production environment. Plug and play.
Intuitively guiding the input and output of users to overcome problems and achieve goals. Now you have a good game ... or pipeline.
