To reduce file size for our stereo-pair renders, I'm experimenting with YCA
encoded images.
Something like this is the goal:
channels (type chlist):
A, 16-bit floating-point, sampling 1 1
Y, 16-bit floating-point, sampling 1 1
RY, 16-bit floating-point, sampling 2 2
BY, 16-bit floating-point, sampling 2 2
right.A, 16-bit floating-point, sampling 1 1
right.Y, 16-bit floating-point, sampling 1 1
right.RY, 16-bit floating-point, sampling 2 2
right.BY, 16-bit floating-point, sampling 2 2
The problem I'm encountering is the RgbaOutputFile class does not seem to
support writing out more than four channels, and it does not support writing
out the multi-view prefix. The RgbaReader class seems to have some support for
the latter feature, although we are currently using the lower-level
Input/OutputFile classes for reading and writing. This suggests we have to
pack and unpack the YCA channels, with help from the functions in ImfRgbaYca.h
but doing this looks to be complicated if the private RgbaOutputFile::ToYca
helper class is any indication.
Is there a relatively painless way to create multiview YCA images without
having to cut-and-paste swaths of private implementation contained inside
ImfRgbaFile.cpp? I'm currently using OpenEXR 1.7.1.
Thanks,
Neall.
