"Sony Pictures Imageworks and Industrial Light & Magic Join Forces on
'ALEMBIC'"
July 27, 2010 (両者とも ACM SIGGRAPHでの発表なので同日)
"ALEMBIC is an open source exchange format that aims to become the
standard for exchanging animated computer graphics scenes between
content creation software packages."
"At its core, Alembic is a computer graphics interchange format
focused on efficiently storing and sharing animation and visual
effects scenes across multiple software applications. It was
designed to handle massive animation data sets often required in
high-end visual effects, which are routinely developed and
produced by companies such as Imageworks and ILM."
驚いたのが
"Alembic is being offered via the BSD 2.0 license and is written
in C++ and Python, leveraging the boost and HDF5 C/C++ libraries
heavily, as well as OpenEXR."
