Creasing and Crease Sets have been around in Maya for a while. 2014 has a far better Crease Set editor though, similar to what's seen in the video.

All the CPU/GPU computing, tesselation etc was very cool though, exciting times ahead where we'll have way more info on screen.

Next Tuesday, the 23th, yours truly will be hosting a webinar with special guests, Bill Polson, Dirk Van Gelder, Manuel Kraemer, Takahito Tejima, David G. Yu and Dale Ruffolo, from Pixar Animation Studios' GPU team, to show how Autodesk and Pixar are working together to build technology with stunning real-time results and how real time display of subdivision surfaces helps artists be more productive, and how this code is open source and engineered for ease of integration. OpenSubdiv is a set of open source libraries that implement high-performance subdivision surface (subdiv) evaluation on massively parallel CPU and GPU architectures. The code embodies decades of research and experience by Pixar. Here's a link to the webinar: Join Pixar Animation Studios, to learn about the OpenSubdiv Project<http://www.autodesk.co.uk/adsk/servlet/pc/index?id=17144365&siteID=452932&mktvar001=558804&mktvar002=558804> The webinar page has different links depending on what general time zone you're in, so be sure to choose the right one. Webinar will be in English only. _________________ Graham Bell - Technical Specialist Autodesk Media & Entertainment - EMEA --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Should be informative.
