Definitely looking forward to it being properly released and rolled into the big tools, though!


Thanks!

    We're pleased to announce the first public Beta release of OpenEXR
    v2.

    Development of OpenEXR v2 has been undertaken in a collaborative
    environment (cf. previous githubannouncement) comprised of
    Industrial Light and Magic, Weta Digital as well as a number of
    other contributors.

    Some of the new features included in the Beta.1 release of OpenEXR
    v2 are:

    * Deep Data. Pixels can now store a variable length list of
    samples.  The main rationale behind deep-images is to have
    multiple values at different depths for each pixel. OpenEXR v2
    supports both hard surface and volumetric representation
    requirements for deep compositing workflows.

    * Multi-part image files. With OpenEXR v2, files can now contain a
    number of separate, but related, images in one file. Access to any
    part is independent of the others; in particular, no access of
    data need take place for unrequested parts.

    In addition, OpenEXR v2 also contains platform independent
    mechanisms for handling co-existing library version conflicts in
    the same process space. (Currently implemented in IlmImf)

    Finally, a reminder that this is a Beta release and potentially
    incompatible changes may be introduced in future releases prior to
    the v2.0.0 production version.

    OpenEXR v2Beta.1 can be found at:

    Many thanks for your support



    Piotr
