Field3D is an open source library for storing voxel data. It provides
C++ classes that handle storage in memory, as well as a file format
based on HDF5 that allows the C++ objects to easily be written to and
read from disk. While the supplied C++ classes map directly to the
underlying file format, it is still possible to extend the class
hierarchy with new classes if needed.

The library was initially developed at Sony Pictures Imageworks as a
replacement for the three different in-house file formats already used
to store voxel data. It is the foundation for Imageworks' in-house
simulation framework and volume rendering software and is actively
being used in production.
