Jesse SpielmanMy friend <a href="https://vis.social/@vvzen" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@vvzen</a> wrote up a much more clever and sophisticated version of a <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/hack" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#hack</a> I did many years ago to alter the opening splash screen art of $7000 professional <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/VFX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#VFX</a> software, <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/houdinifx" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#houdinifx</a> It's a great read and explanation across <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/cpp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#cpp</a> , <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/docker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#docker</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/qt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#qt</a> and our old friend <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/LD_PRELOAD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LD_PRELOAD</a>. Nice to have some fun in the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/vfxpipeline" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#vfxpipeline</a> mines.When I've got a second I'm going to recreate this setup for my original target, <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/FoundryNuke" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FoundryNuke</a> <a href="https://valerioviperino.me/hacking-the-splash-screen-of-houdini/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://valerioviperino.me/hacking-the-splash-screen-of-houdini/</a><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/netscape" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#netscape</a>

Stefan IhringerI took another look at the progress of xSTUDIO, the media player and review application for <a href="https://mograph.social/tags/VFX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#VFX</a>. Seems like development is taking place not on their github but at internally at <a href="https://mograph.social/tags/DNEG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DNEG</a>. There is a development branch that got a few massive commits this year to sync it with their internal codebase.Has anybody tried it yet or managed to compile it? It would be great to replace the Foundry's Hiero/Nuke Studio or the dog slow RV player...<a href="https://github.com/AcademySoftwareFoundation/xstudio" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://github.com/AcademySoftwareFoundation/xstudio</a><a href="https://mograph.social/tags/xstudio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#xstudio</a> <a href="https://mograph.social/tags/ASWF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ASWF</a> <a href="https://mograph.social/tags/VFXpipeline" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#VFXpipeline</a>

Stefan IhringerBuying another company‘s <a href="https://mograph.social/tags/VFXpipeline" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#VFXpipeline</a> like you‘d buy a house: „Why are there two faucets in the bedroom?“ „Legacy support for the 2019 version of our animation software“ „Ok, and why is the TV upside down?“ „Initially our whole CG team preferred to work upside down but they‘ve all left by now and the TV is the only part of the living room we haven’t refactored yet“<a href="https://mograph.social/tags/VFXlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#VFXlife</a>

Stefan IhringerAwesome overview of <a href="https://mograph.social/tags/OpenSource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OpenSource</a> and Linux in the motion picture industry. Mostly <a href="https://mograph.social/tags/VFX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#VFX</a> of course. It doesn’t mention <a href="https://mograph.social/tags/ffmpeg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ffmpeg</a> although I guess every studio is using it to encode into proprietary codecs. I didn’t know the raw to ACES tool. We‘ve been using that „debayer“ script that builds the magic dcraw commandline. <a href="https://www.theregister.com/2024/11/01/aswf_foss_oscars/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.theregister.com/2024/11/01/aswf_foss_oscars/</a><a href="https://mograph.social/tags/VFXPipeline" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#VFXPipeline</a>

Stefan Ihringer<a href="https://mograph.social/@mauro" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@mauro</a> eventually I found a script to convert raw photos to ACES EXRs because some brave guy had managed to figure out the required command-line options for dcraw to output temp files to CIE XYZ space and then use OpenImageIO to create ACEScg EXR files.And voilá we're back at the point the video was making: small tools that do things well and can be automated using the command-line is where OSS shines.<a href="https://mograph.social/tags/VFXPipeline" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#VFXPipeline</a>

Stefan IhringerBlech, AI colorization. But the joke is great for anybody who‘s working on software in a <a href="https://mograph.social/tags/VFXPipeline" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#VFXPipeline</a>. And Buster Keaton’s work is amazing. <a href="https://mastodon.social/@nixCraft/112232503511986074" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://mastodon.social/@nixCraft/112232503511986074</a>

Stefan IhringerLast year I finally implemented <a href="https://mograph.social/tags/redis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#redis</a> into our <a href="https://mograph.social/tags/VFXpipeline" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#VFXpipeline</a> as well as <a href="https://mograph.social/tags/VMware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#VMware</a> to replace some aging bare-metal servers.Let me know about your favourite free IT product that you want me to implement this year so the death ray of capitalism will hit it in 2025 😈<a href="https://mograph.social/tags/DevOps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DevOps</a>

Stefan IhringerEvery once in a while, clients send us the full rough cut of their movie and I need to look up ffmpeg commands to extract the relevant sequences and shots. Lots of trial and error... Turns out there's a GUI for that (but I haven't used it yet).<a href="https://mifi.no/losslesscut/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://mifi.no/losslesscut/</a><a href="https://mograph.social/tags/ffmpeg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ffmpeg</a> <a href="https://mograph.social/tags/VFXPipeline" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#VFXPipeline</a>
