I stand corrected, had been told otherwise time ago though. I'm curious then, what was the Pixar licensing/copyright notice for then? On Tue, Apr 30, 2013 at 10:19 AM, Luc-Eric Rousseau wrote: > Softimage didn't license from pixar and the tessellation and creasing > implementation are not the sa

Re: Pixar OpenSubdiv and Autodesk webinar

Softimage didn't license from pixar and the tessellation and creasing implementation are not the same. On the maya side, it's been co-developed and licensed from pixar and fully compatible. On Mon, Apr 29, 2013 at 7:49 PM, Raffaele Fragapane wrote: > Pixar's SDS "technology" has been licensed fro

Re: Pixar OpenSubdiv and Autodesk webinar

Pixar's SDS "technology" has been licensed from everybody and their dog for years, actually. Thanks to some patents granted on creasing it was either doing that, or risking litigation, or offsetting whole sets of features from the way they would have looked in PRMan. In theory only the RR semi-sha

Yes, if it's presented with the tessellation improvements in mind it makes sense. The way he was talking about it in the webinar made it sound like creases were a new concept that allowed him to have the same result as packing up your edges to visually crease your geometry, making it much less of a

Crease sets didn't exist before? Been creasing in SI for years! All the CPU/GPU computing, tesselation etc was very cool though, exciting times ahead where we'll have way more info on screen. Thanks for posting the webinar! -- Ben Davis www.moondog-animation.com +33 6 88 48 54 50 On Thu, Apr
