VFX Reference Platform

[mikeparsons]

Ive been following the new draft recently and was wondering how compliant smoke/flame/flame assist will be given ADs support of the intiative?

Current platform versioning is

VFX Platform CY2015 Draft (Planned)

• gcc 4.8.2
• glibc 2.12 (Added 30-Jun-14)
• python 2.7.x
• Qt 4.8.x
• PySide 1.2.x (Updated 25-Jun-14)
• OpenEXR 2.2.x (Updated 22-Jul-14)
• OpenColorIO 1.0.7
• OpenSubdiv 2.5.x (Updated 22-Jul-14)
• OpenVDB 2.3.x (Updated 22-Jul-14)
• Alembic 1.5.x
• Boost 1.55
• FBX latest
• Intel TBB 4.2 (Updated 25-Jun-14)

It would be nice for me to be able to standardise on OpenEXR as an inhouse exchange format etc..

looking a little further ahead, gcc as a foundation seems unpredictable at best...

A Linus rant is always fun once you know its kind of tongue in cheek - also the bug was fixed in 4.9.1-2 I'm more interested in full C++11 support than compiler errors in dev builds.

But in regards to flame/smoke im more askigng about Open exr and alembic compliance anyway 🙂
