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.
OIIO is now under the umbrella of the Academy Software Foundation. But it still is basically a one man tour de force by a programmer at Sony Pictures: Larry Gritz has been leading the project for years and he made over 5000 commits. The next most active contributor has just 75 commits 😮
This is a bonfire demo instance for testing purposes. This is not a production site. There are no backups for now. Data, including profiles may be wiped without notice. No service or other guarantees expressed or implied.
