For #FreeSoftwareAdvent I'd like to post about open source tools that we're using in our #VFXPipeline.
On Dec. 5th let's start with #OpenImageIO (https://openimageio.readthedocs.io/en/stable/).
It's a C++ library and Python module for image processing. Unlike old projects (i.e. ImageMagick) it is aimed at modern VFX workflows (OpenEXR, speed).
We're just using its cli tool for reading and rewriting metadata, combining AOVs or creating thumbnails and text overlays.
Natron is a powerful, free, and open-source VFX compositing application geared towards digital post-production work. Natron sports a familiar UI, over 100 nodes, and support for OpenFX and community-made plugins. With its robust OpenFX-based engine and support for OpenImageIO and OpenColorIO, Natron can handle all of your VFX post-production needs.
OpenImageIO has plugins for TIFF, JPEG/JFIF, OpenEXR, PNG, HDR/RGBE, ICO, BMP, Targa, JPEG-2000, RMan Zfile, FITS, DDS, Softimage PIC, PNM, DPX, Cineon, IFF, Field3D, Ptex, Photoshop PSD, Wavefront RLA, SGI, WebP, GIF, and a variety of "RAW" digital camera formats, and a variety of movie formats (readable as individual frames).
OpenImageIO is a library for reading and writing images, and a bunch of related classes, utilities, and applications. There is a particular emphasis on formats and functionality used in professional, large-scale animation and visual effects work for film. OpenImageIO is used extensively in
OpenImageIO is a library for reading and writing images, and a bunch of related classes, utilities, and applications. The best part, OpenImageIO has bindings for Python and C++.

The pipeline supe wants us to move from using #Nuke for basic image processing in favor of #OpenImageIO instead, mostly because doing things in Nuke consumes a license.
I took me several hours of banging my head against the wall to figure out how to do a basic A over B where B is a flat color.
Tomorrow I get to figure out how to add the studio logo to the burnin. Yay...
Hey! Is anyone interested in working on some foundational libraries used in the CG industry? Then check out the Academy Software Foundation's new event called Dev Days! You can get more information here: https://sites.google.com/view/aswfdevdays/home

#Blender 3.5 added very interesting bundled library to its python interpreter ! Like #OpenImageIO which has no official shared builds for #Python and Windows.
So if you really need to get OIIO fast, you could use it from the blended python interpreter !
