[vtk-developers] VTK Subdivision Filters and Pixar's OpenSubdiv

[Bill Lorensen]

Folks,

As the original author (15 years ago) of the VTK subdivision filters I
have always been disappointed:
1) That they seem to be under utilized.
2) That they only work for triangles.
3) That they are not adaptive.

Pixar has released their open source subdivision library that:
1) Has a VTK compatible Apache license!
2) Uses git to host the source code!!
3) Uses CMake to configure the code!!!

I plan to investigate the possibility to create new VTK classes that
use OpenSubdiv. This will provide VTK with the state-of-the-art
subdivision capabilities.

I have no schedule, especially during the summer/fall.

If others have interest in this, perhaps we can collaborate and share
our expertise.

Bill
