Developing an add-on with UX in mind

An add-on is appreciated by the users not only for the tasks it performs but also for its usability and its ability to be smoothly integrated in a workflow.
The design of the User Experience is then a key factor for its success.
In this talk Julien Blervaque will revisit the UX principles on the example of Ubisoft Shot Manager, a production tool providing a lot of creative flexibility for the creation of storyboard and previz animatics in a Blender scene. He will also dive into Python code to discuss some development considerations and tips related to UI.
