RE: #VFXPipeline: pumping out code i…
My current task for our #VFXPipeline is to accomodate Windows users in a Linux pipeline. Easiest option: give every Photoshop artist a Linux workstation for Nuke. Seems to be a common thing. But out of curiosity (and to be prudent with hardware) I‘m trying to get everything working on Windows. A constant source of sadness I have to say, worse than UTF8 strings in Python 2.
Our #VFXPipeline, database and renderfarm also supports shot numbers with emojis. Need to find my post about this from a few years ago 😁
Maybe I should test it again to make sure it still works. Back then, all I had to do was disable a regular expression that enforced alphanumeric characters.
We haven't worked with DPX files for years, but the pipeline I built still supports them. I fear that once I remove all the `or ext == ".dpx"` parts in the code a client will pop up who doesn't use EXR files.
