OpenVDB is an open source C++ library comprising a novel hierarchical data structure and a large suite of tools for the efficient storage and manipulation of sparse volumetric data discretized on three-dimensional grids. It was developed by DreamWorks Animation for use in volumetric applications typically encountered in feature film production.
This GitHub repository hosts the trunk of the OpenVDB development. This implies that it is the newest public version with the latest features and bug fixes. However, it also means that it has not undergone a lot of testing and is generally less stable than the production releases.
OpenVDB is released under the Mozilla Public License Version 2.0, which is a free, open source software license developed and maintained by the Mozilla Foundation.
The trademarks of any contributor to this project may not be used in association with the project without the contributor's express permission.
