01:16.51 starseeker hah, interesting: http://community.kde.org/Frameworks/Epics/CMake_target_usage_requirements
01:17.41 starseeker I'm faking some of those abilities currently with macro logic and global variables - would be awesome to be able to use standard features
01:18.04 starseeker (granted it will be a while before we can require 2.8.11, seeing as it hasn't come out yet...)
02:25.44 kanzure openvdb seems to have some csg things http://www.openvdb.org/documentation/doxygen/codeExamples.html#sCsgTools
02:25.53 kanzure but they are for level set models

05:15.00 brlcad kanzure: openvl and openvdb are both of interest for our vol primitive (just hasn't been a priority to explore recently)
05:32.32 kanzure i was surprised with how clean the openvdb code was
05:33.15 kanzure what sort of amazing drugs are they giving out at dreamworks? because damn.
05:34.14 kanzure very high quality. although the unit tests had a few suspicious goofs (sections commented out instead of preprocessor conditionals, but whatever).
05:42.22 brlcad field3d is another from sony imageworks
05:42.50 brlcad sony has really pioneered the push from several studios to release their frameworks as open source
05:43.36 kanzure interesting. i always imagined the situation "on the ground" in those studios would be less then stellar. but these examples indicate otherwise.
05:44.55 kanzure i sort of assumed they might all just buy licenses to maya (or whatever) and hope for the best
05:46.52 brlcad sony guys set up a directory of some of the various studio efforts: http://opensourcevfx.org/
05:47.30 brlcad they use the commercial stuff but all of them have a massive custom rendering pipeline
05:48.16 brlcad some manual (maya, softimage, etc), some automatic (mostly custom)
05:48.39 kanzure right, i imagine they have some sort of instrumented server farm of nvidia cards too
05:48.59 kanzure possibly things for breaking up rendering jobs to multiple components
05:49.54 brlcad their pipelines are so massive and complex at this point that (according to larry gritz), it just made sense (albeit a gamble) to release parts of their core infrastructure as open source on the hopes that the other studios would do the same
05:50.05 brlcad and the end result being a net gain for all
05:50.32 brlcad (if 5 studios all release 5 products, then we gain 20 by releasing 5)
05:51.47 kanzure "Rez is an integrated package configuration, build and deployment system for software. With Rez you can request a set of packages, and it will create a resolved shell that contains all the dependencies you need, while avoiding version clashes. It is used primarily in the VFX industry, but is applicable to any field where it's necessary to manage many versions of internally-developed projects and their dependencies."
05:51.53 kanzure oh man they have sane package management?
05:52.27 kanzure "Afanasy is a free and open source tool to control remote computing. You can compute anything quicker using a render farm - remote computers connected by a network. Afanasy is designed for computer graphics (3d rendering and 2d compositing) parallel calculation. It can compute different frames (or even parts of frames) on several computers simultaneously."
