Regarding GSoC application for OpenVBD project

kæsh
 

Hi,

I'm Kartik, I'm a B.tech CSE final yr student and a computer graphics engineering intern at a real-time film making & research studio. I'm willing to participate in GSoC with OpenVDB, and "Multi-thread Sequential Algorithms" idea really drove my attention and interest. I just want to get connected with the potential mentors and developers of this community. And I hope that I'm not too late to express my interest.

Kind Regards,

Kartik Shrivastava

OpenEXR RgbaOutputFile is flipped in Nuke

charlie@...
 

Hey,

I am having an issue where the image that I am outputting from the OpenEXR library with the RgbaOutputFile function is flipped in Y in Nuke and Photoshop and more. The only program that I have found that seems to show the image correctly in is DJV. Does anyone know why this would be happening?

I have a StackOverflow question started but wanted to put this in front of you all to see if someone would know the answer. Thanks!

Cheers,

gamma function issue

saurabh26665@...
 

Hi,
As mentioned in your source code that for gamma function the vales of defog, kneeLow, kneeHigh and  gamma are fixed for conversion to (unsigned char) preview R, G, B and alpha. But what if I want to store the values of R, G, B and alpha in unsigned short data type? What will be the value of gamma, defog, exposure, kneeLow, kneeHigh and clamp?

Hi John,

You guys have separate group for Academy Hardware Foundation (AHWF) for open source hardware for movie and TV production like digital movie cameras, camera control (automatic camera control/motion, stabilizer), microphones, digital projectors, mixers, etc? I think open source hardware is important for this industry. I know Axoim develop Apertus° open source movie camera.

ASWF Community,

We are thrilled to announce the launch of the ASWF Landscape ( https://landscape.aswf.io ), which is an resource that showcases the vast ecosystem of open source that powers the visual effects and animation industries. Read more details on the announcement at https://www.aswf.io/introducing-the-aswf-landscape/.

We invite the entire community to participate in the sustainability of this resource, namely by…
  • Reviewing the existing entries for accuracy, including to ensure entries are pointing to the correct GitHub repository and organization.
  • Submit projects we are missing to be included.
  • Share the landscape with others! You can include the landscape in presentations or promotion of your project ( both png and pdf versions are available ).
Big thanks to the opensourcevfx.org project team which was the original data source for the landscape, along with Larry Gritz and Jean-Francois Panisset who both have spent many cycles on the curation and categorization of projects.

Thank you,

One of the requirements for this list (to keep it from becoming an index of
all open source software) is that the project is specifically developed for
or targeted at the motion picture/Entertainment industry. Do you think
GraphicsMagick meets that requirement? It feels more general purpose to me
but I could be wrong.
It is indeed general purpose, but does include features to support file-per-frame type work given some other software providing direction:

http://www.graphicsmagick.org/motion-picture.html

At various times I have been informed of films which have been processed in some way using GraphicsMagick. The most recent I have been informed of was Fritz Lang's "The Complete Metropolis" (2010) restoration work. I was also told that the frames from Christopher Reeve's "Everyone's Hero" (2006) went through it for some reason.

I noticed that ImageMagick is already included and GraphicsMagick plays a similar role. The DPX and Kodak Cineon support in GraphicsMagick is completely my own work.
