Latest Open Source Projects
Nuke ONNX Runtime
C++, ML, NukeA plugin that brings real-time neural network inference directly into The Foundry's Nuke compositing software. Built against Nuke's SDK with custom tensor processing and zero-copy optimization, it supports multi-input models at interactive speeds.
Houdini-Docker
Docker, Python, HoudiniAn automated CI/CD pipeline that builds and deploys containerized versions of SideFX Houdini. The system uses multi-stage build optimization to reduce image sizes by 65% and integrates with SideFX's API via a custom Python driver for automatic version tracking.
HPaint 2.0
Python, HoudiniA custom HDA for Houdini that brings Photoshop-like painting capabilities directly into the 3D viewport, as well as 2D animation workflows.
It implements real-time stroke capture with pressure sensitivity and ray-casting algorithms for 3D geometry intersection, making it perfect for texture work and concept art directly on 3D models.
