Lucas Digital Releases OpenEXR Format 171

Posted by chrisd from the no-oscars-till-2005 dept.
frankie writes "Although George Lucas may have gone over to the dark side, at least some of his staff prefer Freedom and light. ILM has released OpenEXR, a graphics file format and related utilities, under a BSD-style license. Among other things, it supports the same 16 bit format used by Nvidia CG and the Geforce FX. OpenEXR runs on Linux, Jaguar, and Irix; other platforms are likely to work with a little help from the community."

    And I would doubt he played any role whatsoever in the decision.

    But its great that now we can all remaster his original films and add our own awkward, out-of-place looking robots, aliens and spaceships.

    I'll have Jar Jar and Indiana Jones doing the hoochie-coo on the roof of a car in American Graffiti.

    Take a moment to be both amazed and amused that the first post was actually something related to the topic, and all the mooks missed out.

    If all goes as planned all the great OSS software will be written to output this format in no time.

    Actually, if all goes as planned in six and a half years there will be great OSS software at Milestone 15 able to render a sphere in only ten hours.

    Yes, I understand the irony of this post.

    (By the way, there is no charge for the spelling correction)

    Note that if this does not get modded as "Funny," then it is likely a pointless, meaningless post, and potential moderators are now dumber after reading it. My apologies to them, and to any posts they may review henceforth.
