# OpenSubdiv

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 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 high performance accurate subdiv drawing by giving away the "good stuff".

Feel free to use it and let us know what you think.

## Build example to run glViewer and other example programs with minimal dependency

### All platforms:

  * Install cmake, GLFW and GLEW (GLEW is not required on OSX)

   make sure GLEW and GLFW install directories configured as follows:

```
   ${GLEW_LOCATION}/include/GL/glew.h
   ${GLEW_LOCATION}/lib/libGLEW.a (linux)
   ${GLEW_LOCATION}/lib/glew32.lib (windows)

   ${GLFW_LOCATION}/include/glfw3.h
   ${GLFW_LOCATION}/lib/libglfw3.a (linux)
   ${GLFW_LOCATION}/lib/glfw3.lib (windows)
```

  * Clone OpenSubdiv repository, and create a build directory.
```
   git clone https://github.com/PixarAnimationStudios/OpenSubdiv
   mkdir build
   cd build
```

### Windows (Visual Studio)

  * run cmake:
```
"c:/Program Files (x86)/CMake/bin/cmake.exe" ^
    -G "Visual Studio 12 Win64" ^
    -D NO_MAYA=1 -D NO_PTEX=1 -D NO_DOC=1 ^
    -D NO_OMP=1 -D NO_TBB=1 -D NO_CUDA=1 -D NO_OPENCL=1 -D NO_CLEW=1 ^
    -D "GLEW_LOCATION=*YOUR GLEW INSTALL LOCATION*" ^
    -D "GLFW_LOCATION=*YOUR GLFW INSTALL LOCATION*" ^
    ..
```
  * Open OpenSubdiv.sln in VisualStudio and build.

### Linux

```
cmake -D NO_MAYA=1 -D NO_PTEX=1 -D NO_DOC=1 \
      -D NO_OMP=1 -D NO_TBB=1 -D NO_CUDA=1 -D NO_OPENCL=1 -D NO_CLEW=1 \
      -D GLEW_LOCATION="*YOUR GLEW INSTALL LOCATION*" \
      -D GLFW_LOCATION="*YOUR GLFW INSTALL LOCATION*" \
      ..
make
```

### OSX

```
cmake -D NO_MAYA=1 -D NO_PTEX=1 -D NO_DOC=1 \
      -D NO_OMP=1 -D NO_TBB=1 -D NO_CUDA=1 -D NO_OPENCL=1 -D NO_CLEW=1 \
      -D GLFW_LOCATION="*YOUR GLFW INSTALL LOCATION*" \
      ..
make
```
