Despite what it looks like, a lot of cool professional things happened too. There are some really nice HR people in this industry.

Route: Philadelphia, Chicago, Flagstaff, Santa Monica, Emeryville, San Fran, San Diego, LA

My Mom and I had a great time. 100+ hours on a train, lots of pretty hills, and prettier canyons. Thanks, Mommy!

I’ll miss you.

I spent my last week in Philadelphia. Moved out of my awesome apartment of two years. Crashed on a variety of floors, socialized in a variety of ways. Finally sampled two lunch trucks I had been putting off for lack of funds: crepe truck with Simon and middle truck with Nate. Had a delightful send off on Corinne’s epic roof. A bet about a frisbee was finally settled… A wonderful brunch with my favorite lady in the world, Dede. Then a weekend at the farm where I unearthed this relic of the past.

I was halfway through scripting a contact sheet generator that could be used to quickly identify lighting inconsistencies across an image sequence when Dan pointed out that there is already a Contact Sheet node. I ended up making a gizmo that builds off the existing node because it doesn’t seem to allow you to set a frame interval.

I also added an option to set the format size based on individual frame size (so each preview image could be 960×540 without doing any extra math). It’s probably not very efficient, but it was fun making my first gizmo.

Note: You have to hit ‘Create’ after switching size modes or changing frame interval. I also haven’t gotten the check boxes to work one at a time yet. Here is the Python on the button: contactSheet.txt.

Things to look into:
* Grey out input fields and only check one box at a time.
* Stop all the nodes created inside of the gizmo from opening in the properties bin.
* More procedural way to set frame interval than dropping Hold nodes inside the gizmo.
