What i really like about this is that instead of keeping it under wraps and calling it a "trade secret", they openly discussing their technique and releasing it for the advancement of the field. Not only did they write a paper about it, but made it open access! (as opposed to traditional journal publication)[1] So kudos to their effort!
[1] Though this IS disney we're talking about and they certainly don't need journals for getting an audience for their papers
- berkut 13y agoMost of the VFX industry releases the majority of their techniques as papers, etc. Some of it's kept a secret, but that's happening less and less. There's a lot of competition, but still there's a lot of open stuff like OSL, OIIO, OCIO, OpenSubDiv that multiple facilities contribute to.
