For #FreeSoftwareAdvent I’d like to post about open source tools that we’re using in our #VFXPipeline. Let’s start with OpenImageIO.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.
I have used OIIO as part of larger programs like Nuke, but I wasn’t aware that it is essentially an alternative to ImageMagick. Very nice.
