Wow, brings back memories of trying to create a group that would be open to collaborate/share tools, ideas, workflows, pipeline, etc...
I put together a "Siggraph - Birds of a Feather" primarily for Maya/Linux in 2001/2002. The goal was to talk, share, discuss issues mentioned above and at this point in our industry, we all were in the midst of transitioning from SGI to Linux. Many issues at this time regarding video cards, movie libraries, ability to play movies on Linux systems.... The list went on and on, hence my frustration and being at a studio 2000 miles away from Hollywood didn't help. We had Alias/Wavefront product managers, Pipelinefx (Qube), ILM, Dreamworks, PDI, R&H, DD Sups and TD's there. It was great, but my execution on follow up and creating a forum or venue to continue discussions didn't come to mind, until it was too late. Fizzle fizzle fizzle, poof. So, all of that effort went the way of the dinos. Kinda bums me out, because everyone seemed on-board with the concept and one of the larger studios (I believe Dreamworks) had been talking about releasing some movie libs, codec's and what have you, into the Linux Open Source domain. We (new adopters of the Linux platform) couldn't play movies in any format! So, who do we rely on, to get this working? IRIDAS Frame Cycler was also in Beta at the time and they were the only ones that had promise. Fcheck was about the fanciest img viewing product out there. At this time, Dreamworks had quiet a lot of time and money invested in Linux, thanks to Ed Leonard. Anyway, just wanted to say, there is hope, but there's gotta be a conscious effort to get others involved in something as big as standardizing anything industry wide. Emails flying around and forums are good but not good enough. You have to contact and involve the Big Hitter's, not only on forums and emails but in person at events that ACM Siggraph and VFX Society hold. Good luck in your efforts!!!!!!! -Dan Walker On Sun, Sep 25, 2011 at 12:55 PM, Deke Kincaid <[email protected]>wrote: > Just a side note on this.
