ComfyUI and Autodesk Flame ... Possible? I made it!
Monday, March 10, 2025, 09:36 AM - 2025
ComfyUI Flame Plugin let users load and execute self designed workflows within flame.

For example Rotoscoping with Inspyrenet REMBG now can be fully automated.
Also depth and normal map extraction/generation is with one click on the selected clip done.
The results load as 16bit png SEQUENCES back into the flame reels. I will include a complex 2d animatic workflow as well.
To let ComfyUI generate sequences, the loading node must be the VHS_LoadImagesPath!

Be aware, ComfyUI inference will take time. Especially when you work with 4k50p as I do.

Automated processing frees the artist to be creative and not to do stupid time consuming tasks. In the browser front end you design your workflow, export as API, drop the json file into the workflow folder. ComfyUI is a node based AI driven Powerhouse.

You can let it do anything, If you can think it! Here we GO!

unexpected... I am also doing software development right now!
Friday, February 28, 2025, 11:59 AM - 2025
So funny, you know... I was a NetBSD Borne Again Shell (bash) geek 20 years ago. Nowadays on Apple Silicon we have a so called Z-Shell or zsh. Basically it's the same. With some exceptions and additions.
But I am really coding C++; Objective C, and SOTA Python these days.
Super interesting! I love it! Yes I do love it!
Why? I am a german, living in China for 20 years; I had to adapt to chinese and english for daily survival. Once learning a language, the next just drops in.
I understand now in that order:
HTML
SQL
PHP
Python
Objective C
C++

Cool! Yes Assembler would be cool as well... But to write a lil bit in Assembler need months! (with testing and all that)
Objective C and C++ is pretty close to Java, I had to deal with 20 years ago.
So I am very happy today understanding at least Objective C and C++
Tricky is not the syntax in coding. But the way of a real logical workflow.

I would love to show you some assembler code but I can't! My Blog doesn't allow any kind of code for now.

Cool, its working again!!!
Friday, February 28, 2025, 10:38 AM - 2025

Here is a picture of my old setup with smoke on mac back in the good old golden days.

I am just stunned, my really old 20 years blog works again. Fantastic! I will update my daily life here.
Actually this blog was running life on apache on my first my apple iPhone. Crazy cool I have it back. This wasn't working anymore since about 5 or even 6 years.

Motion Graphic & Color Grading are now available at no extended cost anymore...
Saturday, January 16, 2016, 04:56 PM - 2016
I still do use Nothing Real Shake for some tricky comping; but Fusion,Nuke/Natron and Davinci Resolve are THE accelerated realtime tools in my post pipeline to do even the most complicated tasks in no time.
And: this powerful software packages comes at NO additional cost for my clients. If I think back into 2003, I used extensively the eyeon fusion tool set for shot based Motion Graphics and comping video and computer pix together... Back in the days fusion was stuffed with Speedsix Monsters and Genarts Sapphire plugins; beside the Furnace tool set available also for shake. But all that was all never really real-time. Today it is! And I am happy to use Fusion now hardware accelerated on my macbook pro on set... while keeping clients happy; doing realtime green screen keying and some super fast colour correction! I can see how simply knowledge and expertise become fast and reliable value! And one thing to mention: there never was and still not is any better'n faster tool in this world than fusion to animate any written text within 120 seconds and it look like future!
