Different bit depths of AOVs + Cam metadata in singleexr's Tweet

[choobek]

Hi,
Firstly, thank you for your effort! Octane plugin for Houdini is getting better and better Nevertheless, I have some suggestions.

It would be great if we could select different bit depths for AOVs in single exr files. Currently we're wasting a lot of drive space for 32bit multiexr's when color data mostly can be 16bit. Drive space is cheap but if you want to send 4k 32bit renders via internet - it's a pain.

Second thing: there is some Camera Metadata in multi-exr files. It's simple and great solution! Could you add it to single exr files as well?

Best regards and have a nice day,
Wojciech Czub

Hi choobek,
+1, I believe this is already in the roadmap or I must be mistaking with the "per-AOV EXR compression". Either way, both are highly welcomed.

Okay, yes I've already managed that using simple Python postframe script with OpenImageIO lib (conversion to 16bit + cam metadata). However I was surprised that Octane doesn't have this functionality.
