My friend @vvzen wrote up a much more clever and sophisticated version of a #hack I did many years ago to alter the opening splash screen art of $7000 professional #VFX software, #houdinifx

It's a great read and explanation across #cpp , #docker #qt and our old friend #LD_PRELOAD. Nice to have some fun in the #vfxpipeline mines.

When I've got a second I'm going to recreate this setup for my original target, #FoundryNuke

Hi! Thought I'd make a longer #introduction now that I'm somewhat settled in. Thank you all for thr warm welcome!

I'm hale, a 20-something year old non-binary gamedev working full time on VFX @ Don't Nod on a pretty exciting project! This is also my first job in games, which I've had for almost a year and a half now.
I sort of fell into making games after meandering through engineering and compsci studies and finally realized I'd found my place when I started playing around with #blender and #houdini soon after.

I am, not a cat (unfortunately).

I also make #music, very much as a hobby. I play the piano and make chords on my computer, maybe that can turn into something more one day!
Very big fan of cooking and baking, I love drinking tea and yerba mate, and I will be happy to talk about all of it too!
