Want to get involved

[Randalix (Johannes)]

Hi,

I’m working in the fx/commercial industry as a houdini freelancer. I want to help natron development. I’m not a professional programmer but know a good bit of python and want to get into c++.
On github it’s written to contact the devs here so here I am
Want to get in touch and see what I can do.

Hey! Officially @devernay would be the person to talk to. You may also wish to check out the Discord server, there’s a few people over there who may be able to help with building it.

Hi,

There are many ways to get involved. Writing documentation, develop Python plugins/addons, OFX (OpenFX) plugins and of course developing Natron itself.

If you want to develop Natron you should get familiar with the building process:

• Natron/INSTALL_LINUX.md at RB-2.3 · NatronGitHub/Natron · GitHub
• Natron/INSTALL_MACOS.md at RB-2.3 · NatronGitHub/Natron · GitHub
• Natron/INSTALL_WINDOWS.md at RB-2.3 · NatronGitHub/Natron · GitHub

Then maybe take a look at our open issues, there are many to choose from:

• Issues · NatronGitHub/Natron · GitHub

If you want to develop Python plugins/addons take a look at:

• GitHub - NatronGitHub/natron-plugins: Natron Community Plugins
• GitHub - NatronGitHub/natron-python-scripting: Python scripting for Natron vfx compositor

If you want to develop OFX plugins take a look at:

• GitHub - NatronGitHub/openfx-io: A set of Readers/Writers plugins written using the OpenFX standard.
• GitHub - NatronGitHub/openfx-misc: Miscellaneous OFX / OpenFX / Open Effects plugins
• GitHub - NatronGitHub/openfx-arena: Extra OpenFX plugins for Natron
• GitHub - NatronGitHub/openfx-gmic: OpenFX wrapper for the G'MIC framework

And our general documentation is located at: Natron documentation — Natron 2.3.16 documentation
