OpenVDB AX

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
