OpenSubdiv is a set of open source libraries that implement high performance subdivision surface (subdiv) evaluation on massively parallel CPU and GPU architectures. This codepath is optimized for drawing deforming subdivs with static topology at interactive framerates. The resulting limit surface matches Pixar's Renderman to numerical precision.
OpenSubdiv is covered by the [Microsoft Public License](http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/openness/licenses.aspx#MPL), and is free to use for commercial or non-commercial use. This is the same code that Pixar uses internally for animated film production. Our intent is to encourage high performance accurate subdiv drawing by giving away the "good stuff".

The current version is "Release Candidate 1.0" (12/05/2012) and we hope to have "Release 1.0" ready by February 2013. Feel free to use it and let us know what you think.

## Contributing
In order for us to accept code submissions (merge git pull-requests), contributors need to sign the "Contributor License Agreement" (found in the code repository or [here](https://github.com/PixarAnimationStudios/OpenSubdiv/blob/master/OpenSubdivCLA.pdf)) and you can either email or fax it to Pixar.
## Wish List
There are many things we'd love to do to improve support for subdivs but don't have the resources to. In particular, we would welcome contributions for the following items :
* The maya plugins don't integrate with Maya shading. That would be cool.
* John Lasseter loves looking at film assets in progress on an iPad. If anyone were to get this working on iOS he'd be looking at your code, and the apple geeks in all of us would smile.
* Alembic support would be wonderful, but we don't use Alembic enough internally to do the work.
* The precomputation step with hbr can be slow. Does anyone have thoughts on higher performance with topology rich data structures needed for feature adaptive subdivision? Maybe a class that packs adjacency into blocks of indices efficiently, or supports multithreading ?

Licensing

OpenSubdiv is covered by the Apache License, and is free to use for commercial or
non-commercial use. This is the same code that Pixar uses internally for animated
film production. Our intent is to encourage a geometry standard for subdivision
surfaces, by providing consistent (i.e. yielding the same limit surface), high
performance implementations on a variety of platforms.
Why Apache? We were looking for a commercial-friendly license that would convey
our patents to the end users. This quickly narrowed the field to Microsoft Public
License or Apache. Initially we chose MSPL because it handled trademarks better.
But at the request of several companies we gave Apache another look, and decided
to go with Apache with a very slight modification that simply says you cannot use
any contributors' trademarks. In other words, you can use OpenSubdiv to make a
product, but you cannot use a Luxo Lamp (or other character, etc.) when marketing
your product.
Feel free to use it and let us know what you think.
