Large-Sxxxxxxle Projects

Maya & Nuke Submission Windows

Advanced and aesthetic GUIs for sending current file for rendering on farm; added several new features and provided a streamlined interaction to an existing pipeline by replacing an outdated predecessor.

ioBot

Integrated GUI for preparing files and utilizing queuing, multi-threading, and logging; heavily leverages inheritance to allow any type of process to be quickly and easily added to the system, as well as integrating existing pipeline and adding tremendous speed gains by parallelizing both processing and the human interaction.

scriptShelf

Highly flexible GUI for chaining small customizable scripts and running in a queued, multi-threaded environment.

Task Tools

Suite of tools to read from a MySQL database, setup work environments, and submit files to the next step in the pipeline; additionally, write back to the database to track progress.

Render Support Bot

GUI to streamline the render support position by optimizing common tasks (i.e. QCing video files, re-queueing renders) and moving completed files to a designated outgoing folder.

tapeMonkey

Python-based tape archival tool; project controls a tape robot and adds numerous features to an existing pipeline, including ensuring 99% tape usage and dynamic expansion of folders to make future restores easier.

diskOffenders

Program utilized Perl backend and HTML and JavaScript frontend; designed to sxxxxxxn a folder structure to determine which users are using the most disk space. Python launcher sends jobs to be run on the render-farm; parallelization equals a large-sxxxxxxle folder structure that xxxxxxn be sxxxxxxnned throughout the day rather than only night.

Modules

didYouMean

Module uses a dynamic dictionary to detect grammatixxxxxxl errors and quickly offers alternatives to minimize typos.

debugger

Module transparently installs itself between a script and default exception handler; end result are errors, stack trace, and command line entries are sent directly to email to avoid reliance on human memory regarding error origination.

edlParse

Module designed to read and write the plain text EDL format in a Pythonic manner; EDLs are the backbone of the Entity FX pipeline and facilitate the transfer of cut information in-house, as well as from the client.
