Introduction
|
||||
============
|
||||
|
||||
OpenSubdiv is a set of open source libraries that implement high performance
|
||||
subdivision surface (subdiv) evaluation on massively parallel CPU and GPU
|
||||
architectures. This code path is optimized for drawing deforming surfaces with
|
||||
static topology at interactive framerates.
|
||||
|
||||
OpenSubdiv is an API ready to be integrated into 3rd party digital
|
||||
content creation tools. It is **not** an application, nor a tool that can be
|
||||
used directly to create digital assets.

||||

Why Fast Subdivision ?
|
||||
======================
|
||||
|
||||
Subdivision surfaces are commonly used for final rendering of character shapes
|
||||
for a smooth and controllable limit surfaces. However, subdivision surfaces in
|
||||
interactive apps are typically drawn as their polygonal control hulls because of
|
||||
performance. The polygonal control hull is an approximation that is offset from
|
||||
the true limit surface. Looking at an approximation in the interactive app makes
|
||||
it difficult to see exact contact, like fingers touching a potion bottle or hands
|
||||
touching a cheek. It also makes it difficult to see poke-throughs in cloth simulation
|
||||
if the skin and cloth are both approximations. This problem is particularly bad when
|
||||
one character is much larger than another and unequal subdiv face sizes cause
|
||||
approximation errors to be magnified.
|
||||
|
||||
Maya and Pixar's proprietary Presto animation system can take 100ms to subdivide
|
||||
a character of 30,000 polygons to the second level of subdivision (500,000 polygons).
|
||||
Being able to perform the same operation in less than 3ms allows the user to interact
|
||||
with the smooth, accurate limit surface at all times.

Research
|
||||
========
|
||||
|
||||
The new GPU technology behind OpenSubdiv is the result of a joint research effort
|
||||
between Pixar and Microsoft.

Heritage
|
||||
========
|
||||
|
||||
This is the fifth-generation subdiv library in use by Pixar's proprietary animation
|
||||
system in a lineage that started with code written by Tony DeRose and Tien Truong
|
||||
for Geri's Game in 1996. Each generation has been a from-scratch rewrite that
|
||||
has built upon our experience using subdivision surfaces to make animated films.
|
||||
This code is live, so Pixar's changes to OpenSubdiv for current and future films
|
||||
will be released as open source at the same time they are rolled out to Pixar
|
||||
animation production.
