Disney Releases 3D Texture Mapper Source Code

Posted by timothy on from the nice-of-them dept.

dsavi writes "Ptex, Walt Disney Animation Studio's cutting-edge 3D texture mapping library which was first used on nearly every surface in the 2008 animated feature Bolt, was released under the BSD license on Friday. Quoting the announcement on monophyl.com: 'We expect to follow Ptex with other open source projects that we hope the community will find beneficial. We will soon be launching a new Walt Disney Animation Studios Technology page under disneyanimation.com. It will include links to our open source projects as will as a library of recent publications.' This looks good for open source 3D graphics."

    Knowledge = Power
    P= W/t
    t=Money
    Money = Work/Knowledge so the less you know the more you make

    Remember that Pixar bought Disney for minus a jillion dollars a while ago.

    Of course you can say whatever you like, but without any substantive proof of your claims we'll just write you off as another looney who believes in urban legends.

    Why? Because This. Is. Slashdoooooot! And as long as you make us laugh or give us a target, we'll overlook all your other sins. :>

    I think you meant overrate all my other sins. Or at least, that's what usually happens around here. :\

    Knowledge = Work / Money

    Solve for Money:

    Knowledge = Work / Money

    # Multiply both sides by Work
    Work * Knowledge = Work / Money * Work

    # Work / Money * Work = Money, so:
    Work * Knowledge = Money
    -OR-
    Money = Work * Knowledge

    don't you wish slashdot had a "remove my comment" feature? now you're stuck with this very embarrassing post (brain fart or lack of caffeine?) :-)
