Happy #FollowFriday Everyone! 😃

I'm Chris 👋 I'm currently #CGSupervisor & #Layout Supervisor at an #Animation studio in #CapeTown #SouthAfrica

I've worked on multiple #Films & #TVSeries over the years. Using #Maya #Houdini #Blender & #OpenUSD recently for #StarWars, #Disney & the #Lego Movie 2. My focus is #pipeline tech/dev writing tools in #python as well as #cinematography

I'm a #photographer & #travel junkie at heart, spending my weekends exploring new places or learning #rust

#OpenUSD has a prim.GetName() but no prim.SetName()! I know how to edit primpaths via an sdf.layer but having a .SetName() would have meant i could be solving another problem right now instead of bashing my head against moving stage data to a sdf.layer and back!

Ostsee-Pipeline Balticconnector wohl durch Schiffsanker beschädigt

Der Schaden an einer Gaspipeline zwischen Estland und Finnland ist laut finnischen Behörden wohl durch den Anker eines chinesischen Frachtschiffs verursacht worden. Man wolle für die weiteren Ermittlungen nun mit China zusammenarbeiten.

Super happy to find that #Blender has an equivalent to a UUID.

Assuming 'obj' is your object

uuid = obj.as_pointer()

Busy working on our Pipeline Asset Validator and need to make sure all names are unique yet conform to our naming standards.

In your #3D animation #pipeline do you seperate 'working' and 'published' files?

If not, why not?

If yes, do you do it at asset level or just below the project level of your directory structure?

So on an Attribute Wrangle node you can Get a value from a channel with:

float cam_hieght = chf("camera_hieght");

but does anyone know if I can Set a value, so basically the reverse?

I'm trying something, but it might not work ;)

Creating a payload feels oddly complicated in #Houdini but once you have it setup its pretty straight forward!

Here I am creating two reference usd layers, one for _geo.usdc and one for _mtl.usdc (off top screen) that are combined into a single payload layer _payload.usd.

The 'root_component_prim' is simply creating '/asset_name' of kind 'Component'.

#Finnish police say their investigation into the breach of the undersea gas #pipeline between #Finland and Estonia is now focused on a Chinese vessel. It said the movements of the ship, called the Newnew Polar Bear, perfectly matched the time and location where the damage occurred. Police have also found on the seabed what they describe as a heavy object embedded in recently disturbed mud; at the next stage of the investigation efforts will be made to lift the object.

Is there a blazingly fast cli mesh processor out there? Think ffmpeg for #3D data?

My use case, generate decimated (low res mesh, tri's are fine) geo from an input #alembic

Has anyone worked with #OpenMesh at all? Is it worth exploring?

#Maya via #Mayapy is painfully slow. I could also consider #blender via it pypi package, or #houdini but will need to test those.

Finnland: Schäden an Pipeline durch "mechanische Krafteinwirkung"

Seit am Sonntag die Pipeline zwischen Finnland und Estland wegen eines Druckabfalls geschlossen wurde, rätseln Ermittler über die Ursache. Die finnische Polizei erklärte nun, keine Explosion, sondern eine "mechanische Krafteinwirkung" sei der Grund.

I do also need to do a deep dive into a python tool that was written two years ago for #Maya, that now needs implementing in #Blender Its gonna get wild as the dev who wrote it has since left the company.

More than two-thirds of oppose the federal government taking a multibillion-dollar writedown on the oil pipeline, a survey showed on Tuesday, a dilemma for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's Liberals as they look to sell it ahead of an election expected by 2025.

Ottawa has sunk roughly C$35 billion into the Trans Mountain which the federal government bought in 2018 to ensure a controversial expansion project known as went ahead.

Pretty chuffed #KizaziMoto just won Best Animated Series at the #KidscreenAwards
So chuffed to have worked on this show as Layout Supervisor & CG Supervisor having spent the year before production started building a whole new animation pipeline & toolset for the studio.

I have been telling my boss & production how important time logging is (for 5years) and they always just ignored me. Now that artists are using my time logging app suddenly prod are saying to me, 'omg we can now work out how much each asset costs to make!'. Yeah! Good Morning... now you can make smarter schedule choices too. Eeey, sucks that I have to drag people into understanding the value of things.

It Stops Here: Standing Up for Our Lands, Our Waters, and Our People chronicles the author’s experience in leading the Tsleil-Waututh Nation opposition to the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion in British Columbia.

But the story is much more than just about a pipeline. It’s about ancestral connection to the lands and waters and a West Coast people’s legal and spiritual systems.

Finnland und Estland: Schaden an Pipeline wohl durch menschliches Handeln

Am 8. Oktober hatten Finnland und Estland einen Schaden an einer Ostsee-Pipeline entdeckt. Dass dieser wohl durch Menschen verursacht wurde - darin sind sie sich einig. Finnische Ermittlungen konzentrieren sich nun auf ein chinesisches Schiff.

“Why is it OK that this trillion-dollar industry can take your land against your will?”

In Texas, if you won't sell your land to a company wanting to build an oil industry pipeline on it, they can seize it by eminent domain "simply by telling state regulators they qualify for it"

Do you use the composer audit option in your CI/CD Pipeline and if so how do you use it?

I have implemented it very simple and all security vulnerabilities and abandoned packages must be fixed before the pipeline continues. The reason is that we don’t want this issues in our production code anymore.

Is there any geo file format that blender doesnt try to import & convert to blender data? I feel like it is lacking in that it doesnt/cant stream data from an outside file. Similar to a gpucache in maya, I just want 1 outliner item reading in a file that could have multiple meshs within.
