Overview
- OpenVDB AX is an open source C++ library that provides a powerful and easy way of interacting with OpenVDB volume and point data. The software strives to provide a concise, fast, highly parallalisable and portable solution to performing custom manipulation of OpenVDB data via an expression language: AX. AX expressions are JIT-compiled and used in combination with a multi-threaded execution framework, specifically designed for VDB, that in many cases rival custom C++ operators.
OpenVDB AX is maintained by the
Academy Software Foundation (ASWF). It was originally developed at
DNEG primarily by:
- Nick Avramoussis
- Richard Jones
Other notable contributors include:
- Francisco Gochez
- Matthew Warner
- Dan Bailey
- Todd Keeler
- James Bird
- Harry Biddle
