## High-Level Architecture
This is an Astro-based portfolio and blog site deployed on Cloudflare Pages. The architecture follows a content-driven approach with three distinct layers:
### 1. Content Layer (`src/content/**`)
Content is managed via Astro's Content Collections API with schema validation defined in `src/content.config.ts`:
- **`blog/`** - Blog posts as MDX files
- Schema: title, description, pubDate, heroImage (optional), featured (boolean), category, tags
- Posts are sorted by pubDate (newest first)
- **`sections/`** - Homepage section content (hero, experience, skills, featured-project)
- Each section has a custom schema for its specific data needs
- Experience entries include systemId, status, dates, company, role, achievements, links
- Skills entries include domain, tools, proficiency
- **`pages/`** - Page-specific content (contact form configuration)
- Includes form labels, social links, subject options
### 2. Component Layer
Components are organized by purpose:
- **Core UI**: `BlogCard`, `FormattedDate`, `Navigation`, `Footer`, `GridOverlay`
- **Blog-specific**: `BlogFilters`, `ReadingProgress`, `TableOfContents`, `PostNavigation`, `RelatedPosts`
- **Section components**: `Hero`, `Experience`, `Skills`, `FeaturedProject`
### 3. Page & Layout Layer
- **Layouts**: `BaseLayout` (shared structure), `BlogPost` (blog template)
- **Routes**: Static routes in `src/pages/` with dynamic blog routes via `[...slug].astro`
## Data Flow Patterns
### Blog Index (`src/pages/blog/index.astro`)
1. Fetches all posts via `getCollection('blog')`
2. Sorts by pubDate (newest first)
3. Identifies featured post (first with `featured: true` or fallback to latest)
4. Renders featured hero + filterable grid of all posts
5. Extracts unique categories for filter UI
### Individual Blog Posts (`src/pages/blog/[...slug].astro`)
1. Uses `getStaticPaths()` to generate all blog post routes
2. For each post, calculates:
- Previous/next posts (by date)
- Related posts (matching category or shared tags, limited to 3)
- Reading time (based on word count, 200 wpm)
3. Passes everything to `BlogPost` layout which handles headings, navigation, related posts
### Content Collections
All content follows the schema validation pattern:
```
MDX file → src/content.config.ts schema → getCollection() → Component props
```
## Key Technical Patterns
### Image Handling
- Assets in `src/assets/` are processed by Astro (use relative paths in frontmatter)
- Static files in `public/media/` are served as-is (use absolute paths like `/media/file.mp4`)
- AVIF conversion utility available for optimization
## Design Specification
`dev/design.json` contains V7 Industrial Dark Mode system specification (not yet implemented):
- Dark mode native with `#0B0D11` primary background
- Orange/yellow accent `#FFB84C` for CTAs
- Brutalist/industrial aesthetic with visible grid structure
- Heavy typography emphasis
### Deployment
- Cloudflare Pages adapter configured in `astro.config.mjs`
- Image service set to "compile" mode
- Platform proxy enabled for development
## Blog Post Creation Workflow
1. Create `.mdx` file in `src/content/blog/` (filename becomes URL slug)
2. Add required frontmatter: title, description, pubDate
3. Optionally add: heroImage, featured, category, tags
4. Write content using Markdown/MDX with embedded JSX/HTML
5. Images can reference `src/assets/` (relative) or `public/media/` (absolute)
## Utility Scripts
- **`src/utils/convert-to-avif.js`** - Converts images to AVIF format with quality options
- **`src/utils/git-commit.js`** - Auto-generates commit messages from staged changes
- **`src/utils/notepad.js`** - Quick note-taking utility

``` ```
## Image Optimization > 🧑‍🚀 **Seasoned astronaut?** Delete this file. Have fun!
```bash Features:
# Convert all images in src/assets/
pnpm run convert:avif:all
pnpm run convert:avif:jpeg - ✅ Minimal styling (make it your own!)
- ✅ 100/100 Lighthouse performance
- ✅ SEO-friendly with canonical URLs and OpenGraph data
- ✅ Sitemap support
- ✅ RSS Feed support
- ✅ Markdown & MDX support
pnpm run convert:avif:png ## 🚀 Project Structure
# Custom quality (0-100, default: 65) Inside of your Astro project, you'll see the following folders and files:
node src/utils/convert-to-avif.js --jpeg --quality 80
```
## Blog
Blog posts are created as MDX files in the `src/content/blog/` directory. The file name becomes the URL slug (e.g., `my-post.mdx``/blog/my-post/`).
### Step 1: Create the MDX File
Create a new `.mdx` file in `src/content/blog/`:
```bash
src/content/blog/my-new-post.mdx
```
### Step 2: Add Frontmatter
Every blog post requires frontmatter at the top of the file. Here's the complete schema:
```mdx
---
title: 'Your Post Title'
description: 'A brief description that appears in listings and meta tags'
pubDate: 'Jan 15 2025'
heroImage: '../../assets/your-image.jpg'
featured: true
category: 'Case Study'
tags: ['VFX', 'Houdini', 'Nuke']
---
```
#### Required Fields
- **`title`** (string) - The post title
- **`description`** (string) - Brief description for listings and SEO
- **`pubDate`** (string) - Publication date in any format (e.g., `'Jan 15 2025'`, `'2025-01-15'`)
#### Optional Fields
- **`heroImage`** (image path) - Hero image for the post. Use relative path from the MDX file:
- Images in `src/assets/`: `'../../assets/image.jpg'`
- Images in `public/media/`: Use absolute path in content: `/media/image.jpg`
- **`featured`** (boolean, default: `false`) - Set to `true` to feature on blog index page
- **`category`** (string) - Category for filtering (e.g., `'Case Study'`, `'Tutorial'`, `'Thoughts'`)
- **`tags`** (array of strings) - Tags for categorization and related posts
- **`updatedDate`** (string) - Optional update date
### Step 3: Write Your Content
Write your content using Markdown or MDX syntax. You can use:
- Standard Markdown (headings, lists, links, etc.)
- JSX components and HTML
- Custom styling with Tailwind classes
#### Example: Adding Videos
```mdx
<div class="video-container my-10">
<video controls class="w-full border border-white/10">
<source src="/media/my-video.mp4" type="video/mp4" />
Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>
<p class="text-slate-500 text-sm mt-3 font-mono">/// VIDEO CAPTION</p>
</div>
```
#### Example: Image Grids
```mdx
<div class="grid grid-cols-1 md:grid-cols-2 gap-6 my-10">
<div class="video-container">
<video controls class="w-full border border-white/10">
<source src="/media/video-1.mp4" type="video/mp4" />
</video>
<p class="text-slate-500 text-sm mt-3 font-mono">/// CAPTION 1</p>
</div>
<div class="video-container">
<video controls class="w-full border border-white/10">
<source src="/media/video-2.mp4" type="video/mp4" />
</video>
<p class="text-slate-500 text-sm mt-3 font-mono">/// CAPTION 2</p>
</div>
</div>
```
### Step 4: Adding Images
#### Option 1: Images in `src/assets/`
For images processed by Astro (optimization, etc.):
1. Place image in `src/assets/`
2. Reference in frontmatter: `heroImage: '../../assets/my-image.jpg'`
3. Use in content with Astro's Image component (import required)
#### Option 2: Images in `public/media/`
For static assets (videos, large images):
1. Place file in `public/media/`
2. Reference with absolute path: `/media/my-video.mp4`
3. No import needed, works directly in HTML/MDX
### Step 5: File Naming
- Use kebab-case: `my-awesome-post.mdx`
- The filename (without extension) becomes the URL slug
- Example: `gstar-raw-olympics.mdx``/blog/gstar-raw-olympics/`
### Complete Example
Here's a complete example blog post:
```mdx
---
title: 'My Awesome Project'
description: 'A deep dive into the technical pipeline behind this amazing project.'
pubDate: 'Jan 15 2025'
heroImage: '../../assets/project-hero.jpg'
featured: true
category: 'Case Study'
tags: ['VFX', 'Houdini', 'Pipeline']
---
## Introduction

## Deployment Astro looks for `.astro` or `.md` files in the `src/pages/` directory. Each page is exposed as a route based on its file name.
The site is deployed to Cloudflare Pages. The `pnpm run deploy` command builds the site and deploys it using Wrangler. There's nothing special about `src/components/`, but that's where we like to put any Astro/React/Vue/Svelte/Preact components.
Deployment happens automatically on push to the main branch (if configured in Cloudflare Pages dashboard). The `src/content/` directory contains "collections" of related Markdown and MDX documents. Use `getCollection()` to retrieve posts from `src/content/blog/`, and type-check your frontmatter using an optional schema. See [Astro's Content Collections docs](https://docs.astro.build/en/guides/content-collections/) to learn more.
Any static assets, like images, can be placed in the `public/` directory.
## 🧞 Commands
All commands are run from the root of the project, from a terminal:
| Command | Action |
| :------------------------ | :----------------------------------------------- |
| `pnpm install` | Installs dependencies |
| `pnpm dev` | Starts local dev server at `localhost:4321` |
| `pnpm build` | Build your production site to `./dist/` |
| `pnpm preview` | Preview your build locally, before deploying |
| `pnpm astro ...` | Run CLI commands like `astro add`, `astro check` |
| `pnpm astro -- --help` | Get help using the Astro CLI |

// But for smoother JS animation:
cursorOutline.animate({

top: `${posY}px`
}, {duration: 500, fill: "forwards"});
});

# The Open-Source VFX Pipeline
**How I built a production-ready pipeline for my studio without selling a kidney**
_Tuned for Nextcloud + Kitsu + Blender / Houdini / Nuke / C4D / Maya_
---
## The Problem Nobody Talks About
When I started Biohazard VFX in 2023, I had exactly zero budget for pipeline infrastructure.
*For Claude: These are weird examples, shot tracking is 50% of the equation. The biggest ball buster is cloud storage. Both should be mentioned --and dont shit on producers that use excel/google sheets and dropbox. Dropbox is shit, but a good ol spreadsheet is how work gets done.*
The math was brutal:
- **Shotgrid**: $50/user/month (minimum 5 seats) = $3,000/year
- **ftrack**: Similar pricing, lock-in to their ecosystem
- **Roll your own**: "Just use Dropbox and Excel" (said every producer who's never opened Nuke)
*For Claude: These circumstances are incorrect and your numbers are arbitrary, you will need to do research to find the exact numbers. I was working freelance and I wanted larger projects, I had no money because I had very few connections and as things began to grow I needed the help of a team. These things were built as I went on, it wasn't like I went into it knowing this shit. I had to figure it out.*
I'd just left the stability of studio work to bet on myself. I couldn't justify $3k/year before landing a single gig. But I also couldn't run a professional operation with artists shouting file paths across Whatsapp/Discord and praying nobody overwrote the hero comp.
*For Claude: don't shit on AI tools here, instead talk about how theres uncertainty with AI, and especially now we need to be mindful of our money, security and intellectual property, this applies to artists utilizing AI as well. AI is a great tool in VFX.*
The indie VFX market is brutal right now. AI tools are eating client budgets. Freelance work is drying up. Every dollar counts. So I built something that actually works—open source, self-hosted, production-tested on real commercial work.
*For Claude: Distributed FX work between artists a continent apart, "Blender to Nuke compositing handoffs" is completely redundant. Duh. *
This isn't a cute side project. This is the exact pipeline that's handled:
- Multi-artist Houdini sim workflows for commercial spots
- Blender-to-Nuke compositing handoffs
- Remote collaboration across timezones
- Client review and approval cycles
- Render farm orchestration
*For Claude: Total infra costs are $10 year for a domain thru cloudflare + ~$6 a month in electricity, and if it counts, fiber internet with a static IP which i wouldve had to pay for regardless is $75/month*
**Total infrastructure cost**: ~$60/month (TrueNAS server I already owned + domain + power).
Here's how it works.

## Who This Is For
> [!tip] **Skill Level Markers**
> - 🟢 **Beginner-friendly**: You can follow along with basic terminal skills
> - 🟡 **Intermediate**: Assumes familiarity with VFX concepts and some server admin
> - 🔴 **Advanced**: Pipeline TDs and sysadmins who want deep technical detail
**This guide is for:**
- **Freelancers** looking to save money and streamline their workflow.
- **Small shops** (2-10 artists) tired of expensive SaaS subscriptions
- **Pipeline TDs** who want open-source alternatives to evaluate
- **Students/educators** building learning environments
- **Anyone allergic to vendor lock-in**
**You'll need:**
- A server (or NAS) you control—TrueNAS, Ubuntu, Proxmox, whatever *For Claude: I feel like it would be good to include some resources here for how to set these things up.*
- Basic Python/Bash scripting comfort (or Claude Code or Opencode)

## The Cost Breakdown: Why Open Source?
Let's do the math nobody wants to show you.
### Commercial Pipeline Solutions (5-seat studio, 1 year)
| **Tool** | **Monthly Cost** | **Annual Cost** | **What You Get** | **What You Don't Get** |
|----------|------------------|-----------------|-------------------|------------------------|
| **Shotgrid** | ~$250/month (5 seats) | **$3,000** | Best-in-class tracking, review, integrations | Your data leaves on their terms. API limits. Slow updates. |
| **ftrack** | ~$225/month (5 seats) | **$2,700** | Good UI, solid review tools | Ecosystem lock-in. Self-hosting costs extra. |
| **Syncsketch** (review only) | ~$50/month (team plan) | **$600** | Dead-simple review | No asset tracking, no automation, just review. |
| **Frame.io** | ~$100/month | **$1,200** | Beautiful client review | Not built for VFX pipeline, no DCC integration. |
| **Dropbox Business** | ~$60/month (3TB) | **$720** | File sync that works | Zero pipeline features. Just dumb storage. |
**Total if you stack Shotgrid + Dropbox**: **$3,720/year** (and you still own nothing).
### Open-Source Stack (This Pipeline)
| **Component** | **Cost** | **Notes** |
| ---------------------------------- | ------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Kitsu** (shot tracking) | $0 | Self-hosted on your server |
| **Nextcloud** (file sync + review) | $0 | Self-hosted, infinite storage (limited only by your drives) |
| **Flamenco** (render farm) | $0 | Blender Foundation project, rock solid |
| **USD + OpenAssetIO** | $0 | Industry standard, Pixar-developed |
| **Python pipeline scripts** | $0 | You own the code, tweak forever |
| **TrueNAS SCALE** (optional) | $0 | Free OS, runs on any x86 hardware |
| **Server hardware** | **$0-2,000** | One-time cost. I started with a repurposed gaming PC. [See my build guide](link) |
| **Domain name** | ~$12/year | For remote access (kitsu.yourstudio.com) |
| **Electricity** | ~$20-40/month | Server running 24/7 (your mileage varies) |
**First-year cost (with new server hardware)**: ~$2,500
**Second-year cost**: ~$500/year (electricity + domain)
**Break-even vs. Shotgrid**: **8 months**
### The Real Kicker
With commercial tools, year 5 costs the same as year 1. With this stack:
- **You own the infrastructure**
- **You control the data** (GDPR, NDA compliance, actual ownership)
- **You can customize anything** (Python scripts, not vendor feature requests)
- **You can scale horizontally** (add artists without per-seat fees)
When a client asks "Where's our footage hosted?", you can say "On our server, under NDA, fully encrypted." Not "Autodesk's cloud, subject to their terms."

## Core Philosophy — *Why This Even Matters*
Before we get into folder structures and Python hooks, here's the thinking that makes this pipeline *actually usable*:
### 1. **Standard > Perfect**
A half-decent, always-followed rule set beats the sexiest one nobody remembers. Your artists will thank you for boring consistency.
### 2. **Everything is somebody else's problem tomorrow**
Name files, tag assets, and version like the next person opening the file is hungover and hates you. (That person is you, two months from now.)
### 3. **Flat is faster**
Don't bury decisions in code unless the code saves more minutes than it costs. A shell script beats a microservice 80% of the time.
### 4. **Files move, brains don't**
Nextcloud does the file syncing. Your pipeline just tells it *where* and *why*. Artists shouldn't think about WebDAV vs SMB vs NFS—they just hit Save.
---
## 🟡 High-Level Stack
Here's what we're building:
| **Layer** | **Open-Source Pick** | **Why** | **Notes for Multi-DCC** |
| --------------------------- | --------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Project / Shot tracking** | **Kitsu** (CGWire) | API-first, dead simple, runs on a $5 VPS if needed | Houdini shelf tools, Nuke panels, Blender add-ons all hit the same REST endpoints |
| **File Sync** | **Nextcloud Hub** | Versioning, external storage, full-text search, WebDAV | Enable *Virtual Files* so 40TB of assets doesn't clog local SSDs |
| **Asset Referencing** | **USD + OpenAssetIO** | One scene graph to rule them all | Blender 4.0+, Houdini, Maya, C4D (Hydra delegates), even Nuke 14+ can read USD plates |
| **Render Farm** | **Flamenco** or **OpenCue** | Python clients, cheap to extend | Workers install only their DCC + your "render kick" script |
| **Review / Dailies** | **RV-OSS** or **Nextcloud WebReview** | Stream H.264 proxies right from the cloud | Nuke Write node auto-pushes versions + thumbnails |
| **Automation Glue** | **Python + Git repo named `/pipeline`** | Zero compiled plugins = zero rebuild hell | Each DCC looks for `BHZ_PIPELINE_ROOT` env var and runs your startup hooks |
### Why These Tools?
**Kitsu**: I evaluated everything—Tactic, Zou, Prism. Kitsu's UI is clean, the API is sane, and CGWire actually maintains it. It doesn't try to be everything (looking at you, overstuffed project managers).
**Nextcloud**: Handles file sync better than Dropbox for large binaries. The versioning is git-like. External storage lets you mount your NAS without duplicating 10TB of renders. Plus, clients can upload footage via a password-protected link without installing anything.
**USD**: If you're not using USD in 2025, you're fighting uphill. It's the only format that survives Maya → Houdini → Blender → Nuke without sacrificing materials, variants, or your sanity.
**Flamenco**: Blender Foundation's render manager. Works with any DCC that can run a Python script. I've pushed Houdini Mantra, Redshift, and Cycles jobs through it. No Docker Kubernetes nonsense required.
---
## 🟢 Folder & Naming Structure (The Part That Actually Matters)
This is where most pipelines die. Artists rename files in Finder. Shots get re-cut and nobody updates the folder structure. Compers pull stale caches because the path changed.
**Root lives on Nextcloud external storage** (ZFS on TrueNAS if you're fancy, ext4 on Ubuntu if you're practical).
```
/<SHOWCODE> # e.g., /VALK (4-letter project code)
/assets/ # Reusable stuff
/char/ # Characters
/VALK_Robot/ # One asset = one folder
/scenes/ # .blend, .hip, .ma source files
/geo/ # Published geometry (USD, ABC)
/tex/ # Texture maps
/rig/ # Rigs (if separate from scenes)
/cache/ # Baked sim caches (VDB, ABC)
/prop/ # Props
/env/ # Environments
/sequences/ # Shot-based work
/SQ010/ # Sequence 010
/SH010/ # Shot 010
/work/ # 🟢 Artist WIP files (not synced to all machines)
/layout/
/anim/
/fx/
/lgt/
/cmp/
/publish/ # 🟡 Auto-copied by publish hook (synced everywhere)
/layout/
/anim/
/fx/
/lgt/
/cmp/
/SH020/
...
/SQ020/
/edit/ # Editorial / animatic
/deliver/ # Final client deliverables
/pipeline/ # 🔴 The scripts (Git-tracked separately)
```
### 🟢 Naming Tokens (You'll Thank Me Later)
| **Token** | **Width** | **Example** | **Why** |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| **SHOW** | 4 chars | `VALK` | Stick to FOUR letters. Grep-friendly. Your wrists will thank you. |
| **SQ** | 3 digits | `010` | Sequence number. Count in **tens** so editorial inserts land on `015`. |
| **SH** | 3 digits | `030` | Shot number. Same deal. `SQ010_SH030` is unambiguous anywhere. |
| **Asset** | CamelCaps | `RobotArm` | One physical thing = one asset folder. No spaces. No underscores in asset names. |
| **Task** | 3-4 chars | `lgt`, `cmp`, `anim` | Short and consistent. Pick abbreviations and stick to them. |
| **Version** | `v###` | `v023` | Semantic versioning is cute; numbers survive 3 a.m. panic renders. |
**Example Blender lighting file for shot 30, sequence 10, show VALK:**
```
VALK_SQ010_SH030_lgt_v003.blend
```
**Its rendered EXR frames land in:**
```
/VALK/sequences/SQ010/SH030/publish/lgt/frames/v003/exr/VALK_SQ010_SH030_lgt_v003.####.exr
```
*Stop whining—Git can't grep pretty names, and neither can you at 2 a.m.*
---
## 🟡 Nextcloud-Specific Magic
### External Storage Layout
- **TrueNAS SMB share** mounted on the Nextcloud server as `/mnt/nc_data`
- **Nextcloud External Storage app** maps that share to `/PIPE` for every user
- **Sync Client** runs in *Virtual Files* mode—files are placeholders until you open them
**Pros**: Artists pull only the shot folder they're working on. Your 1 Gbps fiber isn't set on fire.
**Cons**: Initial placeholder sync still walks the whole tree—first sync takes a few minutes.
### Version Hooks (The Good Kind of Automation)
Enable Nextcloud's built-in versioning but **limit retention** to avoid infinite storage bloat:
```php
'versions_retention_obligation' => 'auto, 30'
```
Everything older than 30 days gets pruned. Your *real* version control is Git (for code) and Kitsu (for assets).
Add a **server-side app** (simple PHP) listening to `OCP\Files::postWrite` that:
1. Detects `/work/.../v###` pattern in the file path
2. Bumps a Kitsu "version" field via API
3. Triggers a webhook to Slack/Matrix: *"Hey, shot 010_030 got v024 from Anurag"*
Now you've got Dropbox-ease with grown-up audit trails.
---
## 🟡 Asset & Shot Lifecycle
Below is the minimal path a shot takes from idea to final EXR. If a step is N/A (e.g., no FX), skip it—the pipeline shouldn't care.
| **Step** | **Owner** | **Main DCC** | **File lives in** | **Publish Trigger** | **What Gets Published** |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| **Storyboard / Edit** | Director | Blender VSE / DaVinci | `/edit/` | Manual export | MP4 animatic, shot list JSON |
| **Layout / Camera** | Layout TD | Blender / C4D | `/work/layout/` | Save as `v###` | USD camera + proxy geo |
| **Anim** | Anim team | Blender / Maya | `/work/anim/` | Kitsu "Anim Done" | ABC/USD cache |
| **FX / Sims** | FX | Houdini / EmberGen | `/work/fx/` | `$F == last → submit` | VDB/ABC caches |
| **Lighting** | Look-dev | Houdini / Blender | `/work/lgt/` | Flamenco render OK | EXR plates + H.264 preview |
| **Comp** | Nuke ninjas | Nuke | `/work/cmp/` | Write node hook | MOV dailies + final EXR |
| **Final** | Online edit | DaVinci / AfterFX | `/edit/` | Deliver | 16-bit EXR or ProRes 4444 |
### 🔴 Automation Nuts & Bolts
Every publish writes a tiny **manifest YAML** (`publish.yml`) with:
```yaml
author: anurag
date: 2025-12-06T14:23:00Z
upstream_version: v022
git_hash: a3f29c1
comment: "Fixed flickering on frame 240"
```
The publish hook (`registerPublish.py`) then:
1. Copies manifest + relevant outputs to `/publish/<task>/v###/`
2. Emits a Kitsu `assetVersionCreated` event
3. Invalidates Nextcloud cache via `occ files:scan --path` for near-realtime updates
---
## 🔴 Multi-DCC Interop Tips (The Shit That Actually Breaks)
This is the stuff that looks fine in isolation and explodes when you chain three DCCs together.
| **Issue** | **Fix** |
| --- | --- |
| **Color Space** | Shove everyone into **ACES 1.3**. OCIO config lives in `/pipeline/ocio-config/`. Each DCC startup hook sets `$OCIO`. |
| **Scale** | Blender = 1m, Houdini = 1m, Maya default = cm. **Set Maya to meters** or suffer. |
| **Geometry Handedness** | USD Stage exports **meters** and **Y-up**. Let USD do the right-hand ↔ left-hand translation. Don't fight it. |
| **Camera DOF** | Houdini & Blender agree on focus distance. Maya's exports weird—bake focus into USD attributes if needed. |
| **Alembic vs. USD** | **Alembic** for "dumb" caches (sims, animated geo). **USD** for assets you'll touch downstream (materials, variants, overrides). |
| **Nuke USD** | Use the **ReadGeo** node with USD support (Nuke 14+) or fall back to Alembic. Don't try to comp directly from `.usd` scene files unless you enjoy pain. |
---
## 🟡 Render & Review Loop
```mermaid
graph TD
subgraph Artist Workstation
A[Work File in Nextcloud] --> B[Publish Script]
end
B -->|Push job| C[Flamenco Render Job]
C --> D[EXR Frames in /render/]
D --> E[review_create_proxy.py]
E -->|Nextcloud WebDAV upload| F[ShotReview.mp4]
F --> G[Kitsu Comment + Thumbnail]
G -->|Approve| H[/publish/cmp/]
G -->|Reject| A
```
**Automated review flow:**
1. Artist hits "Publish" in Nuke (or Blender, or Houdini)
2. Publish script kicks off Flamenco render job
3. Frames render to `/render/SQ010/SH030/v003/`
4. `review_create_proxy.py` runs on completion:
- FFMPEG transcode: 25fps, CRF 18, Rec.709 LUT baked in
- Upload MP4 to Nextcloud via WebDAV
- Post to Kitsu task with thumbnail
5. Kitsu webhook posts to Slack `#dailies` channel
6. Supervisor smashes 👍 or 💩
7. If 💩 → artist pulls note JSON, versions up, repeat. If 👍 → auto-copy to `/deliver/` + status "Approved"
**No one emails ZIP files. No one asks "Did you get my render?" This Just Works™.**
---
## 🟢 Scripting Cheat-Sheet (Copy-Paste & Tweak)
### Blender Startup Hook
```python
# /pipeline/hooks/blender_startup.py
import os, bpy, datetime
ROOT = os.environ['BHZ_PIPELINE_ROOT']
bpy.context.preferences.filepaths.temporary_directory = f"{ROOT}/_tmp"
# Auto-set scene defaults
scene = bpy.context.scene
scene.render.fps = 24
scene.render.resolution_x = 3840
scene.render.resolution_y = 2160
bpy.context.scene.view_settings.view_transform = 'AgX' # or ACEScg
# Quick Kitsu auth
import gazu # pip install gazu
gazu.client.set_host(os.getenv("KITSU_HOST", "https://kitsu.yourstudio.com"))
gazu.log_in(os.getenv("KITSU_USER"), os.getenv("KITSU_PASS"))
print(f"✓ Kitsu OK: {gazu.client.get_current_user()['full_name']}")
```
### Bash: Create New Shot
```bash
# /pipeline/tools/make_shot.sh
#!/bin/bash
show=$1 seq=$2 sh=$3 task=$4
root="$SHOW_ROOT/sequences/$seq/$sh/work/$task"
mkdir -p "$root"
# Copy template file
ext=${task}.blend # or .hip, .nk, etc.
cp "$PIPELINE/templates/$ext" "$root/${show}_${seq}_${sh}_${task}_v001.$ext"
echo "✓ Created: $root/${show}_${seq}_${sh}_${task}_v001.$ext"
```
---
## 🟢 Common Screw-Ups & How to Dodge Them
| **Face-Palm** | **Why It Happens** | **The Fix** |
| --- | --- | --- |
| "Where the hell is v023?" | Artists rename in Explorer / Finder | File explorer extension that blocks rename outside `/work/` (or just yell at people) |
| Shot edits desync Kitsu | Editor drags cuts, forgets to push | Blender post-save hook compares edit hash vs. Kitsu; nags if dirty |
| Nextcloud deletes caches | Client set to "Always keep local" fills SSD | Enforce **Virtual Files** via Nextcloud admin `files_on_demand` policy |
| Nuke renders stale plate | Artist forgets to hit "update" arrow | On node graph open, Python checks timestamp vs. Kitsu; pops dialog if stale |
---
## 🔴 Scaling Up (When the Money Hits)
When you land that dream gig and suddenly have 15 artists and 100TB of assets:
- **Database**: Point Nextcloud to **PostgreSQL** instead of SQLite. Kitsu already uses Postgres.
- **Object Storage**: Offload `/deliver/` and long-term `/publish/` to **S3-compatible storage** (Wasabi, MinIO, Backblaze B2). Nextcloud supports this natively.
- **Secrets Management**: Use **git-crypt** or **HashiCorp Vault**. Never store passwords in startup hooks.
- **Centralized Auth**: LDAP into both Nextcloud + Kitsu → one password to rule them all.
- **CI/CD for Pipeline Code**: GitHub Actions builds a portable `pipeline.whl` for all OSes, drops it into Nextcloud `/pipeline/releases/`. Client startup scripts auto-pull on launch.
---
## Real-World Example: How Biohazard VFX Used This
> [!example] **Case Study: Commercial Spot with Houdini Sims**
> **Client**: [Redacted fashion brand]
> **Scope**: 3 shots, cloth sim + lighting in Houdini, comp in Nuke
> **Team**: 2 artists (one remote, one local)
> **Timeline**: 2 weeks
**The Challenge:**
- Remote Houdini artist needed access to 40GB of scanned geometry
- Sim caches were 200GB+ per shot version
- Client wanted daily review without downloading raw EXRs
- Budget didn't allow Shotgrid
**The Solution (This Pipeline):**
1. **Asset Delivery**: Client uploaded scans via Nextcloud public link. No FTP, no Dropbox, no "the link expired."
2. **Houdini Sim Workflow**:
- Houdini artist worked in `/work/fx/`, published VDB caches to `/publish/fx/v###/`
- Publish hook auto-uploaded H.264 preview to Kitsu
- Lighting artist got Slack ping, pulled only the new cache version (Virtual Files = didn't re-download 40GB of geo)
3. **Review**:
- Nuke Write node ran `review_create_proxy.py` on render completion
- Client got password-protected Nextcloud link with embedded player
- Approved in Kitsu → auto-copied final EXR to `/deliver/`
4. **Total Infrastructure Cost**: $0 extra (server was already running for other projects)
**What Would've Happened with Shotgrid:**
- $250/month for the 2-week gig (not worth it for a small job)
- Slower upload times (their CDN is optimized for small files, not 200GB caches)
- Client would've needed an account (friction)
**Outcome**: Job completed on time, client happy, pipeline didn't cost a dime.
---
## Final Sanity Checklist
Before you call this "production-ready," make sure:
- [ ] Show code defined (4 chars, uppercase, documented)
- [ ] `$OCIO` pointing to single ACES config for *every* DCC
- [ ] `/pipeline/` in Git, *not* Nextcloud versions (code ≠ assets)
- [ ] Each DCC has startup script registering its hooks
- [ ] Nextcloud external storage on ZFS with hourly snapshots (or Btrfs, ext4 + rsync)
- [ ] Kitsu nightly database dump → off-site backup
- [ ] Render workers mount `/render/` over NFS v4 with async writes enabled
- [ ] At least one artist has successfully published from each DCC you support
---
## Getting Started: Your First 48 Hours
### Hour 1-4: Server Setup (🟢 Beginner-friendly)
1. **Install TrueNAS SCALE** (or Ubuntu Server if you prefer)
2. **Create SMB share** for project storage (e.g., `/mnt/pool/vfx_projects`)
3. **Install Nextcloud** via TrueNAS app or Docker
4. **Configure External Storage** in Nextcloud to mount the SMB share
### Hour 5-8: Kitsu Deployment (🟡 Intermediate)
1. **Deploy Kitsu** via Docker Compose ([official guide](https://kitsu.cg-wire.com/))
2. **Create your first project** in Kitsu UI
3. **Add sequences and shots** (or import from CSV)
4. **Test API access** with `curl` or Postman
### Hour 9-12: Pipeline Scripts (🟡 Intermediate)
1. **Create `/pipeline/` Git repo** on your server
2. **Copy starter scripts** from this guide (Blender hook, publish script)
3. **Set environment variables** on artist workstations:
```bash
export BHZ_PIPELINE_ROOT=/path/to/pipeline
export KITSU_HOST=https://kitsu.yourstudio.com
export KITSU_USER=your@email.com
export KITSU_PASS=yourpassword # Use .env file, not hardcoded
```
### Hour 13-24: First Shot Test (🟢 Beginner-friendly)
1. **Create shot folder structure** using `make_shot.sh`
2. **Artist creates layout file** in Blender
3. **Test publish workflow**: Save → Publish → Check Kitsu → Verify file in `/publish/`
4. **Fix inevitable path issues** (this is normal, don't panic)
### Hour 25-48: Review & Iteration (🟡 Intermediate)
1. **Render test frames** from lighting pass
2. **Run `review_create_proxy.py`** to generate review MP4
3. **Upload to Nextcloud** and share link
4. **Get feedback**, iterate, publish v002
**Congrats—you just ran a professional VFX pipeline for the cost of electricity.**

## Conclusion: You Own This
The big pipeline vendors want you to believe this is impossible. That you *need* their SaaS, their lock-in, their per-seat fees forever.
Bullshit.
You just read a guide to a production-ready, open-source VFX pipeline that:
- Costs a fraction of commercial tools
- Gives you full control of your data
- Scales from solo freelancer to small studio
- Works with industry-standard DCCs (Blender, Houdini, Nuke, Maya, C4D)
- Has handled real commercial work for real clients
Is it perfect? No. Will you tweak it? Absolutely. That's the point—**you can**.
When Shotgrid raises prices or sunsets a feature you depend on, you're stuck. When this pipeline needs a change, you crack open a Python file and fix it.
### What to Do Next
1. **Bookmark this guide** (you'll reference it constantly)
2. **Join the community**:
- [Kitsu Discord](https://discord.gg/kitsu) for shot tracking help
- [Nextcloud Forums](https://help.nextcloud.com/) for file sync issues
- [CGWire Community](https://community.cg-wire.com/) for pipeline talk
3. **Start small**: One show, one sequence, one artist (you)
4. **Document your tweaks**: When you solve a problem, write it down (future you will thank present you)
5. **Share back**: If you build a cool Houdini shelf tool or Nuke panel, open-source it
### One Last Thing
I'm not selling anything here. No affiliate links, no "book a consultation" CTA. This is the pipeline I built because I had to. I'm sharing it because the indie VFX community is getting crushed by AI tools and rising costs, and we need to help each other.
If this guide saved you $3,000, consider:
- Contributing to [CGWire (Kitsu)](https://opencollective.com/cg-wire)
- Donating to [Blender Development Fund](https://fund.blender.org/)
- Buying the Nextcloud team a coffee
Or just pay it forward—help the next freelancer who's Googling "cheap VFX pipeline" at 2 a.m.
**Now go build something.**

# Portfolio Site Integration Plan
## Phase 1: Foundation Setup
### Tailwind Configuration
Update `src/styles/global.css` to configure Tailwind v4 with the V7 design system tokens from `design.json`:
- Brand colors (dark: #0B0D11, panel: #151921, accent: #FFB84C, cyan: #22D3EE)
- Font families (Inter + Space Mono from Google Fonts)
- Custom utilities (grid-overlay, text-massive, text-stroke, skill-tag, btn-primary, btn-ghost)
- Scrollbar styling, reveal animations, cursor styles
### Constants Update
Update `src/consts.ts` with Nicholai's site metadata:
- SITE_TITLE, SITE_DESCRIPTION, contact info, social links
## Phase 2: Core Components
### BaseHead.astro
Modify to include:
- Google Fonts preconnect/stylesheet (Inter, Space Mono)
- Lucide icons CDN script
- Remove old Atkinson font preloads
### Layout Components (new files in `src/components/`)
Extract from index.html:
| Component | Purpose |
|-----------|---------|
| `GridOverlay.astro` | Fixed background grid + 12-column guide |
| `Navigation.astro` | Fixed nav with logo, status badge, links, contact CTA |
| `Footer.astro` | Replace existing - contact CTA, social links, copyright |
| `CustomCursor.tsx` | React island for cursor dot + outline with mousemove tracking |
### Section Components (new files in `src/components/sections/`)
| Component | Purpose |
|-----------|---------|
| `Hero.astro` | Hero with title, subtitle, description, clock |
| `Experience.astro` | Timeline with Biohazard VFX, Stinkfilms, Freelance |
| `FeaturedProject.astro` | G-Star Raw Olympics full-width showcase |
| `Skills.astro` | Technical arsenal 4-column grid |
## Phase 3: Layouts
### BaseLayout.astro (new)
Create shared layout wrapping:
- BaseHead, GridOverlay, Navigation, main slot, Footer, CustomCursor island
- Body classes: `antialiased selection:bg-brand-accent selection:text-brand-dark`
### BlogPost.astro
Restyle to match V7 dark theme while keeping content structure.
## Phase 4: Pages
### index.astro
Compose from section components:
```astro
<BaseLayout>
<Hero />
<Divider />
<Experience />
<Divider />
<FeaturedProject />
<Skills />
</BaseLayout>
```
### blog/index.astro
Restyle post grid with dark theme, card hover effects, accent colors.
### blog/[...slug].astro
Uses updated BlogPost layout (no changes needed to routing logic).
### Delete about.astro
Remove the about page entirely.
## Phase 5: Assets
- Add favicon matching brand identity to `public/`
- Keep existing blog placeholder images
- Fonts served via Google Fonts CDN (no local files needed)
## Key Files to Modify
- `src/styles/global.css` - Tailwind config + custom CSS
- `src/consts.ts` - Site metadata
- `src/components/BaseHead.astro` - Font/icon loading
- `src/components/Footer.astro` - Complete rewrite
- `src/layouts/BlogPost.astro` - Restyle for dark theme
## Key Files to Create
- `src/components/GridOverlay.astro`
- `src/components/Navigation.astro`
- `src/components/CustomCursor.tsx`
- `src/components/sections/Hero.astro`
- `src/components/sections/Experience.astro`
- `src/components/sections/FeaturedProject.astro`
- `src/components/sections/Skills.astro`
- `src/layouts/BaseLayout.astro`

title: 'Building Your Own Tools: From VFX Artist to Developer'
description: 'Self-Hosting and AI Development in 2024: Why I build custom software instead of using cloud solutions, and how you can too without being a hardcore developer.'

## What's the deal?
I am a VFX Artist by trade and up until recently, *never considered myself to be a developer.*
Just two years ago; the extent of my development work consisted of writing basic python and simple bash for artistic tools in Nuke, fiddling with a basic html + css website and managing my company's infrastructure. (Nextcloud, Gitea, n8n).
But since August of 2024 things have started to change rapidly, both in the world but also in my life:
- I switched to Linux (Arch, btw)
- AI switched from an interesting *gimmick* to a real tool in the software development world.
And since then, more and more I find myself spending my time creating my own tools and software ecosystems, working with LLM's to write code, documents and streamline workflows.
## The Cloud Trap
Look, I get it. Cloud services are convenient. Google Drive, Notion, Motion - they all work great out of the box. Low barrier to entry, no server knowledge required, just sign up and go. There's real value in that.
But here's the thing: everything's becoming a subscription. More importantly, we have zero control over what these companies do with our data. For some people that's fine. For me? Not so much.
When you add it all up - cloud storage, document editing, video review, streaming, calendar, notes, AI task management - you're looking at hundreds of dollars a month. And you're still locked into their ecosystem, playing by their rules.
## The Speed Factor
I learned to code in high school. Started with Java, made some basic games, wrote little scripts here and there. It was fun being able to build things, but there was always this massive wall: time.
Even professional developers with 20 years of experience could only automate so much in a 2-hour window. Want to build something actually useful? That's weeks of work. Want to build a Google Drive replacement? See you in two years, if you're lucky.
And that's assuming you don't accumulate a mountain of tech debt halfway through that forces you to refactor everything. Which, let's be honest, you probably will.
This is why I never seriously considered building my own tools. The math just didn't work.
## Then Everything Changed
Now we have AI that can generate code in a fraction of the time it used to take. I'm not talking about autocomplete. I'm talking about entire features, complex integrations, full applications.
My role has shifted. I'm less of a hands-on coder now and more of an orchestrator, somewhere between a developer and a product manager. Do I miss writing code sometimes? Yeah. Has it probably made me a worse programmer in some ways? Probably. But I'm also building more than I ever have, and the tools I'm creating are genuinely useful to me.
I've written n8n automations that would've taken weeks before. Now I knock them out in a weekend. I've integrated Nextcloud with Gitea, set up CalDAV sync, built email parsing agents. Things that used to feel impossible are now just normal Saturday projects.
## Design First, Code Second
As a VFX artist, I care deeply about how things look and feel. The visual design, the user experience - that's where I get my real enjoyment. I've never enjoyed writing database schemas or building auth flows (does anyone?), but I've always loved figuring out how to make a contact form feel special, how to make a user say "wow."
Now I can focus on exactly that. I sketch in Figma, prototype in HTML, figure out exactly what I want things to look like, then I hand it off to AI agents to build. They handle the implementation, I handle the vision.
This approach has taught me more about communication and project management than anything else. Getting AI to build what you actually want requires clear, detailed specifications. Turns out, humans might not always appreciate that communication style, but LLMs love it.
## Context Engineering (Not Vibe Coding)
Here's where things get interesting. Early on, I noticed that AI agents perform dramatically better when you give them thorough documentation and context. I started providing screenshots, copying relevant documentation, giving detailed examples, basically treating them like junior developers who needed proper onboarding.
The results were night and day. I was one-shotting complex applications that I wasn't seeing anyone else build online. That's when I discovered people had already coined terms for this: "context engineering," frameworks like BEMAD, all these approaches that were suddenly becoming buzzwords.
Some people call this "vibe coding." I don't love that term. It sounds too casual for what's actually a fairly rigorous process. I'm not just throwing vibes at an AI and hoping for the best. I'm orchestrating a team of agents with clear specifications and detailed context.
The difference is that I actually enjoy providing that context. Before I make any point, I naturally provide extensive background. Humans sometimes find this tedious. LLMs? They thrive on it. And statistically, this approach gets better results.
## Building What I Actually Want
Here's what it comes down to: I don't want to use Motion. I don't want to pay for Notion. I like the systems I already have - Nextcloud, Obsidian, Gitea - and those products don't integrate with them anyway.
So I'm building my own replacement. A unified system that connects everything I actually use into one framework, with an AI agent that integrates into every relevant part of my workflow. Not something I have to explicitly prompt, but something with actual agency that helps me plan, make decisions, track communications, and get my time back.
Two years ago, saying "I'm building a Notion replacement" would've sounded delusional. Today? It just requires proper planning and time allocation.
That's the shift. We've gone from "this is impossible" to "this is just a weekend project if I plan it right."
And honestly? I'm excited to see where this goes. The next few years are going to be wild.

title: 'G-Star Raw Olympics Campaign'

In summer 2024, Biohazard VFX partnered with Stinkfilms and director Felix Brady to create a visually striking brand film for G-Star Raw's Olympics campaign.

<p class="text-slate-500 text-sm mt-3 font-mono">/// FINAL FILM</p>
</div>
## The Challenge
The creative brief called for expansive cityscapes and environments that would feel both futuristic and grounded in reality. The timeline was aggressive, and the scope was ambitious—exactly the kind of project we thrive on.
## Technical Approach
### Full CG Environment Pipeline
We built our environments entirely in Blender and Houdini, leveraging procedural generation for the city layouts. This allowed us to iterate quickly on creative direction while maintaining the flexibility to make large-scale changes late in production.
Key technical achievements:
- **Procedural city generation** using Houdini's node-based workflows
- **USD-based asset management** for seamless handoff between departments
- **Karma rendering** for final output with deep compositing support
### AI/ML Integration
One of the most innovative aspects of this project was our integration of AI tools into a production VFX pipeline:
- **Stable Diffusion reference generation** for rapid concept exploration and creative alignment with the director
- **Copycat cleanup workflows** for efficiently handling repetitive cleanup tasks
- **AI-generated normal maps** for relighting elements in Nuke post-composite
The key was treating AI output as a starting point, not a final deliverable. Every AI-generated asset went through our QA pipeline and was refined by artists to meet production standards.
## The Team
Managing 60+ artists across multiple time zones required robust communication and pipeline infrastructure. We developed custom tools for:
- Real-time progress tracking
- Automated daily builds
- Version control and asset management
## Results
The final film delivered on time and exceeded client expectations. The combination of traditional VFX craft with cutting-edge AI tools allowed us to achieve a level of visual complexity that would have been prohibitively expensive using traditional methods alone.
## Shot Breakdowns
A closer look at some of the key shots and the techniques used to bring them to life.

## Introduction
If you're a VFX or 3D artist who's made the leap to Arch (or any rolling release distro), you've probably hit this wall before. Proprietary software packaged as `.deb` files, legacy library dependencies, and that sinking feeling when you find that you are the first person on the internet to have ever tried to install a specific software on Arch.
This guide walks through my process of installing **Raysync** (file transfer acceleration) and the desktop client for **[FoxRenderfarm](https://www.foxrenderfarm.com/download.html)** on Arch Linux. Both only ship `.deb` packages and `.run` installers designed for Rocky Linux and CentOS7.
I don't suspect this guide will work forever, but my hope in posting this is that others can reference this and have somewhere to start from.
## System Information
This guide was tested on:
- **OS:** Arch Linux (kernel 6.17.4-arch2-1)
- **Desktop Environment:** Hyprland (should work on Gnome and KDE also)
- **Display Server:** Wayland/X11
- **Graphics:** NVIDIA (proprietary drivers 560.35.03) / AMD (mesa)
- **Architecture:** x86_64
**Software versions:**
- Raysync: 6.2.8.24 (.deb package)
- FoxRenderfarm Desktop: 5.0 (CentOS7 installer - `QFoxRenderfarmDesktop5.0.run`)
- libjpeg6-turbo: 2.0.6-1 (AUR)
- System libstdc++: 14.2.1 (gcc-libs package)
Your mileage may vary depending on your system state and library versions, but the general approach should work on any rolling release distro.
## Part 1: Raysync - The Simple One
The installation of Raysync turned out to be surprisingly straightforward and took minimal troubleshooting. Raysync is a high-speed file transfer tool used by FoxRenderfarm, and to get the Desktop client working, you'll need to install this first.
### Succumbing to hubris
My first instinct was to use `debtap`, a tool specifically designed to convert Debian packages to Arch packages:
```bash
debtap Raysync_6.2.8.24.deb
```
This created a shiny new `raysync-3.3.8.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst` file that (in my hubris and overwhelmed by my own sense of unique genius) led me to believe I was done. Silly me for assuming the tool *designed specifically for converting Debian packages to Arch packages* would convert my debian package to an Arch package. Rookie mistake.
```
error: package raysync-3.3.8.1-1-x86_64 does not have a valid architecture
```
It turns out `debtap` didn't properly set the architecture metadata when I skipped the prompts (because why the fuck would it). Could I have fixed it? Sure. But no, I was annoyed and wanted the path of least resistance.
### The Manual Extraction Method
Here's what actually works:
```bash
# Extract the .deb archive (it's just an AR archive)
ar x Raysync_6.2.8.24.deb
# Extract the actual files
tar -xzf data.tar.gz
# Copy to system directories
sudo cp -r usr /
sudo cp -r opt / 2>/dev/null # If opt/ exists in the package
```
**What's happening here:** A `.deb` file is just an archive containing `control.tar.gz` (metadata) and `data.tar.gz` (the actual files). We're skipping all the package manager validation and just putting the files where they belong.
**The tradeoff:** This works perfectly, but you lose package manager tracking. That means:
- No `pacman -R raysync` to uninstall
- No automatic dependency resolution
- You'll need to track updates manually
For a proprietary tool that rarely updates? (Since I'm writing this down) I'm cool with it.
Once installed, Raysync lives at:
- Binary: `/usr/local/bin/raysync`
- Resources: `/usr/local/share/raysync/`
- Desktop entries: `/usr/share/applications/raysync-*.desktop`
Just run `raysync` from the terminal or launch it from your application menu. You'll see some Qt platform warnings in the console, but they're harmless - probably.
## Part 2: FoxRenderfarm - The Dependency Nightmare
FoxRenderfarm is where things get more complex. Duh.
### The Installation
Fox provides two self-extracting installers:
- `foxrenderfarm5.0.run` (140MB) Rocky Linux
- `QFoxRenderfarmDesktop5.0.run` (188MB) CentOS7
I went with the CentOS7 installer:
```bash
./QFoxRenderfarmDesktop5.0.run
```
The installer extracts everything to:
```
/home/myhomedirectory/Rayvision/FoxRenderfarm5.0/
```
Launch it with:
```bash
cd ~/Rayvision/FoxRenderfarm5.0
./foxrenderfarm.sh
```
And... it crashes immediately. Welcome to dependency hell.
### Debugging Strategy: Know Your Tools
Before we start fixing things randomly, let's understand what we're dealing with. The most important tool in your arsenal is `ldd`:
```bash
ldd foxrenderfarm | grep "not found"
```
This shows every shared library the binary expects but can't find. Think of it as a checklist of problems to solve.
### The Library Dependency Journey
#### Issue #1: Image Format Libraries
```bash
ldd foxrenderfarm | grep "not found"
# Output:
# libjpeg.so.62 => not found
# libmng.so.1 => not found
# libtiff.so.5 => not found
```
First attempt - install the system versions:
```bash
sudo pacman -S libjpeg-turbo libmng libtiff
```
But here's the problem:
- Arch ships `libjpeg.so.8`, app needs `libjpeg.so.62`
- Arch ships `libmng.so.2`, app needs `libmng.so.1`
- Arch ships `libtiff.so.6`, app needs `libtiff.so.5`
**Why symlinks don't work:** You might think "just symlink the new version to the old name," but that fails because of symbol versioning. The application was compiled with specific function signatures that exist in version 6.2 but not in 8.x. The library knows this and refuses to load.
#### Issue #2: Finding Legacy JPEG Support
This is where the AUR (Arch User Repository) saves your life:
```bash
cd /tmp
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/libjpeg6-turbo.git
cd libjpeg6-turbo
makepkg -si --skippgpcheck
```
**Why AUR?** The community maintains packages for legacy software. `libjpeg6-turbo` provides the exact `LIBJPEG_6.2` symbols our application needs, compiled specifically for compatibility with old binaries.
**About `--skippgpcheck`:** Normally you want to verify PGP signatures, but the key wasn't in my keyring. For a well-known AUR package, this is acceptable. If you want to be thorough: `gpg --recv-keys 85C7044E033FDE16`.
#### Issue #3: The JBIG Dependency
```
error while loading shared libraries: libjbig.so.2.0: cannot open shared object file
```
Install the system package:
```bash
sudo pacman -S jbigkit
```
But Arch ships version 2.1, and the app wants 2.0. Fortunately, libjbig is backward compatible, so a symlink works:
```bash
cd ~/Rayvision/FoxRenderfarm5.0
sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/libjbig.so libjbig.so.2.0
```
**Key decision:** I put this symlink in the application directory rather than `/usr/lib` to avoid breaking other softwares that expects the newer version.
#### Issue #4: The Bundled Library Problem
```
version `GLIBCXX_3.4.22' not found (required by foxrenderfarm)
```
Here's where it gets counterintuitive. FoxRenderfarm bundles its own `libstdc++.so.6` in two locations:
- Main directory: `libstdc++.so.6`
- Transmit engine: `transmit_engine/libstdc++.so.6`
The startup script sets `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` to prioritize these bundled libraries. The problem? They're *older* than what the application actually needs. Someone compiled this against a newer GCC but shipped it with old libraries.
**The fix:** Get rid of them and let it use the system library:
```bash
cd ~/Rayvision/FoxRenderfarm5.0
mv libstdc++.so libstdc++.so.old
mv libstdc++.so.6 libstdc++.so.6.old
mv transmit_engine/libstdc++.so.6 transmit_engine/libstdc++.so.6.old
```
Now the linker falls through to Arch's current libstdc++, which has all the symbols we need.
### Understanding LD_LIBRARY_PATH
The `foxrenderfarm.sh` startup script sets:
```bash
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$dirname:$dirname/libs:$dirname/transmit_engine
```
This creates a search order:
1. Application directory (for bundled OpenSSL, our libjbig symlink)
2. `libs/` subdirectory (Qt libraries)
3. `transmit_engine/` subdirectory
4. System libraries in `/usr/lib`
We're using a hybrid approach:
- **Keep bundled** OpenSSL 1.1 (system has 3.x)
- **Keep bundled** Qt libraries (version-specific)
- **Use system** libstdc++ (newer and better)
- **Use system** libjpeg62 (from AUR)
- **Symlink locally** libjbig (backward compatible)
This gives us the best of both worlds.
## Final Configuration
### What We Installed
**System packages:**
```bash
sudo pacman -S libmng libtiff jbigkit
```
**AUR packages:**
```bash
# libjpeg6-turbo (for legacy JPEG support)
```
**Custom symlinks created:**
```bash
# In ~/Rayvision/FoxRenderfarm5.0/
libjbig.so.2.0 → /usr/lib/libjbig.so
```
**Bundled libraries removed:**
```bash
# Renamed to .old (not deleted, just in case)
libstdc++.so
libstdc++.so.6
transmit_engine/libstdc++.so.6
```
## Lessons from the Trenches
### 1. Package Conversion Isn't Always the Answer
Tools like `debtap` are great for simple packages, but when metadata gets mangled or you just want to get something working quickly, manual extraction is often faster and more reliable.
The tradeoff is you lose package manager integration. Ride like lightning I say.
### 2. Library Compatibility Is Nuanced
- **Backward compatible:** Newer versions work fine (libstdc++, libjbig)
- **Symbol versioned:** Strict version requirements (libjpeg)
- **ABI breaks:** Major version bumps often won't work
The debugging process:
1. Try system library (newest version)
2. Try symlink if backward compatible
3. Search AUR for older version if symbols required
4. Use bundled library as last resort
### 3. Bundled Libraries Can Lie
Just because software bundles a library doesn't mean you should use it. Sometimes the bundled version is *older* than what the binary actually needs, and you're better off removing it and using the system version.
Always check `ldd` and read the actual error messages. Don't assume bundled = correct.
### 4. LD_LIBRARY_PATH Is Your Friend
Understanding the dynamic linker's search order is crucial for debugging these issues:
1. `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` directories
2. `/lib` and `/usr/lib`
3. Paths in `/etc/ld.so.conf`
By controlling `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` in the startup script, you can create a hybrid environment that uses bundled libraries where needed and system libraries where better.
## Uninstallation
If you need to remove these later:
### Raysync
```bash
sudo rm /usr/local/bin/raysync
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/share/raysync/
sudo rm /usr/share/applications/raysync-*.desktop
```
### FoxRenderfarm
```bash
# Use the built-in uninstaller
~/Rayvision/FoxRenderfarm5.0/uninst
# Or manual removal
rm -rf ~/Rayvision/FoxRenderfarm5.0/
rm ~/.local/share/applications/foxrenderfarm.desktop
rm -rf ~/.config/FoxRenderfarm/
```
### Cleanup Dependencies
```bash
# Only remove if nothing else needs them
sudo pacman -R libjpeg6-turbo
# System packages (libmng, libtiff, jbigkit) can usually stay
# Other software might depend on them
```
## Final Thoughts
Running proprietary VFX software on Arch isn't always smooth, but it's rarely impossible. The key is methodical debugging:
1. Use `ldd` to identify missing dependencies
2. Understand *why* each dependency is needed
3. Choose the right solution: system package, AUR, symlink, or bundled library
4. Test thoroughly before moving on to the next issue
Is it more work than running CentOS or Rocky Linux? Absolutely. But if you're reading this, ~~you've already decided that having full control over your system is worth the occasional dependency hunt.~~ You're a sadist.
And honestly? After doing this a few times, you start to get pretty fast at it. These days, getting proprietary software working on Arch is less "will this work?" and more "how long will it take?"
Usually not that long.

title: 'Using MDX'
description: 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet'
pubDate: 'Jun 01 2024'
heroImage: '../../assets/blog-placeholder-5.jpg'
---
This theme comes with the [@astrojs/mdx](https://docs.astro.build/en/guides/integrations-guide/mdx/) integration installed and configured in your `astro.config.mjs` config file. If you prefer not to use MDX, you can disable support by removing the integration from your config file.
## Why MDX?
MDX is a special flavor of Markdown that supports embedded JavaScript & JSX syntax. This unlocks the ability to [mix JavaScript and UI Components into your Markdown content](https://docs.astro.build/en/guides/markdown-content/#mdx-features) for things like interactive charts or alerts.
If you have existing content authored in MDX, this integration will hopefully make migrating to Astro a breeze.
## Example
Here is how you import and use a UI component inside of MDX.
When you open this page in the browser, you should see the clickable button below.
import HeaderLink from '../../components/HeaderLink.astro';
<HeaderLink href="#" onclick="alert('clicked!')">
Embedded component in MDX
</HeaderLink>
## More Links
- [MDX Syntax Documentation](https://mdxjs.com/docs/what-is-mdx)
- [Astro Usage Documentation](https://docs.astro.build/en/guides/markdown-content/#markdown-and-mdx-pages)
- **Note:** [Client Directives](https://docs.astro.build/en/reference/directives-reference/#client-directives) are still required to create interactive components. Otherwise, all components in your MDX will render as static HTML (no JavaScript) by default.

<!-- Container Divider with accent hint --> Welcome to the official <a href="https://astro.build/">Astro</a> blog starter template. This
<div class="container mx-auto px-6 lg:px-12 my-8"> template serves as a lightweight, minimally-styled starting point for anyone looking to build
<div class="h-[1px] divider-gradient"></div> a personal website, blog, or portfolio with Astro.
</div> </p>
<p>
<FeaturedProject {...featuredProjectContent} /> This template comes with a few integrations already configured in your
<Skills {...skillsContent} /> <code>astro.config.mjs</code> file. You can customize your setup with
</BaseLayout> <a href="https://astro.build/integrations">Astro Integrations</a> to add tools like Tailwind,
React, or Vue to your project.
</p>
<p>Here are a few ideas on how to get started with the template:</p>
<ul>
<li>Edit this page in <code>src/pages/index.astro</code></li>
<li>Edit the site header items in <code>src/components/Header.astro</code></li>
<li>Add your name to the footer in <code>src/components/Footer.astro</code></li>
<li>Check out the included blog posts in <code>src/content/blog/</code></li>
<li>Customize the blog post page layout in <code>src/layouts/BlogPost.astro</code></li>
</ul>
<p>
Have fun! If you get stuck, remember to
<a href="https://docs.astro.build/">read the docs</a>
or <a href="https://astro.build/chat">join us on Discord</a> to ask questions.

# Utilities
This directory contains utility scripts for the project.
## Git Commit Automation Script
### git-commit.js
Automatically generates commit messages using OpenRouter AI (inception/mercury-coder) based on your staged changes. The script analyzes both the git diff and status to create meaningful commit messages, then allows you to review, edit, and approve before committing.
**Prerequisites:**
- OpenRouter API key (free to get started)
- Sign up: [openrouter.ai](https://openrouter.ai)
- Get your API key: [openrouter.ai/keys](https://openrouter.ai/keys)
- Create a `.env` file in `src/utils/` directory:
```bash
# Copy the example file
cp src/utils/.env.example src/utils/.env
# Edit the file and add your API key
OPENROUTER_API_KEY=your_actual_api_key_here
```
**Usage:**
```bash
# 1. Stage your changes
git add <files>
# 2. Run the commit script
pnpm commit
# 3. Review the AI-generated message
# 4. Choose to [A]ccept, [E]dit, or [C]ancel
# 5. Optionally push to remote
```
**Options:**
- `--help`, `-h` - Show help message
**Troubleshooting:**
- If you get ".env file not found" error, create `src/utils/.env` with your OpenRouter API key
## Image Conversion Script
### convert-to-avif.js
Converts images in the `assets/` directory to AVIF format using ffmpeg. Original images are preserved, and `.avif` versions are created alongside them.
**Prerequisites:**
- ffmpeg must be installed on your system
- Linux: `sudo apt install ffmpeg` `sudo pacman -S ffmpeg`
- macOS: `brew install ffmpeg`
- Windows: Download from [ffmpeg.org](https://ffmpeg.org/download.html)
**Usage via pnpm scripts:**
```bash
# Show help and available options
pnpm run convert:avif
# Convert all supported formats (jpeg, png, webp, gif, bmp, tiff)
pnpm run convert:avif:all
# Convert only JPEG images
pnpm run convert:avif:jpeg
# Convert only PNG images
pnpm run convert:avif:png
# Convert with custom quality (0-100, default: 65)
node src/utils/convert-to-avif.js --jpeg --quality 80
# Convert multiple formats at once
node src/utils/convert-to-avif.js --jpeg --png
```
**Options:**
- `--all` - Convert all supported formats
- `--jpeg` - Convert JPEG/JPG files only
- `--png` - Convert PNG files only
- `--webp` - Convert WebP files only
- `--gif` - Convert GIF files only
- `--bmp` - Convert BMP files only
- `--tiff` - Convert TIFF files only
- `--quality <n>` - Set quality (0-100, default: 65)
**Quality Guide:**
- High (80+): Larger file sizes, excellent quality
- Medium (60-75): Balanced file size and quality (recommended)
- Low (40-55): Smaller files, good for web performance
**Features:**
- Preserves original images
- Skips files that already have AVIF versions
- Shows file size savings
- Progress indicators
- Error handling and reporting
**Example output:**
```
🎨 Converting 3 image(s) to AVIF format
📁 Source: /path/to/assets
⚙️ Quality: 65
🔄 [1/3] Converting blog-placeholder-1.jpg...
✅ Created blog-placeholder-1.avif (45.2KB, 67.3% smaller)

Generate commit messages following these guidelines:
- Note that the commit message is written on behalf of Nicholai by you.
- Use imperative mood (e.g., "Add", "Fix", "Update", "Refactor")
- Keep it concise but descriptive.
- First line should be a short summary of Nicholai's changes (50-72 characters)
