How to read Multi-layer EXR images in python with OpenEXR Sept. 6, 2025, 8:53 p.m.

cjhosken
Hey all! I'm working on a python tool that lets you view Multi-layer EXR images. I'm unable to use OpenImageIO due to technical support reasons. So I'm stuck with using OpenEXR. I've been able to read Multi-Layer EXR images from Blender and Maya but It seems Houdini has a different header format. If anyone knows how can I split the multi-layer data into seperate PNGs, or knows any resources that could help, please let me know!
Hmm, I've been wondering the same thing. I wonder if Mitsuba might be able to pull it off. I'll let you know what I find out.

Howdy!



Anyone have a favorite method of removing these jagged edges that come when you convert a vdb back to polygons?

You may find this helpful - we added a few examples on the bake texture node a couple weeks ago.

Just a heads up, it seems like these links are broken now.

Thanks for all you guys do!
