MultiChannel MultiLayer EXR in ComfyUI - Flame VFX Pipeline
Monday, April 14, 2025, 06:52 AM - 2025
Now I really like working with MultiChannel EXR!
1 .The MultiLayer EXR Loader reads in the sequence from any CG supplier
2. EXR Layer List does what the name say: it lists ALL available layers and provides an corresponding output connector
3. EXR Layer Gatherer bundles all available layers from the Layer List node.
Between List and Gathering… you can play around and modify all the render passes.
4. MultiLayer EXR Writer finally writes FLAME-CONFORM MultiChannel/Multilayer EXR Sequences in 16 or 32bit.
5. The Multi EXR let you use ANY layer/channel inside Flame

ComfyUI and Autodesk Flame ... Possible? I made it!

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!

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.

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.
