Sony Pictures Imageworks has announced it is releasing five projects as open source. The five cover Open Shading Language, Database library manager, Voxel data storage library, Python string handling in C++ and Flexible camera guides for Maya. They are embarking on this in hopes of building small development communities around the code.
We’re planning to talk with Imageworks CTO Rob Bredow at Siggraph for an upcoming fxguidtev episode, in the meantime check out: opensource.imageworks.com
