The Tools & Software section provides a structured reference for all applications, plugins, and custom utilities used throughout the 3D production pipeline.
It is intended as a centralized knowledge base to ensure consistency, reproducibility, and efficiency across projects.

This section includes:

• Core Applications: Primary software used in the workflow (e.g., Blender, InstaLOD).
• Plugins & Add-ons: Specialized extensions and add-ons that enhance functionality or automate repetitive tasks.
• Internal Tools: Custom scripts and assets, designed to standardize naming conventions, keep track of new assets, or optimize export processes.
• Export & Integration: Guidelines for preparing assets for deployment in external platforms (e.g., AR/VR viewers, web-based applications).

Each entry provides:

• A description of the tool’s purpose within the pipeline.
• Setup and configuration instructions.
• Best practices for consistent results.
• Limitations or known issues to consider during production.

By consolidating this information, the section ensures that team members can quickly access the correct procedures, reducing technical errors and improving collaboration across different stages of the workflow.
