At Image Engine we use many open source projects as part of our research and development efforts and in return are pleased to be releasing key components of our internal toolset back to the community.
Our main contribution is the IECore library, a set of C++ and Python classes providing datatypes and algorithms applicable to a broad spectrum of visual effects development. In addition we have release libraries for interfacing IECore with RenderMan, Maya, Nuke, OpenGL, and Truelight. This combination of libraries forms the basis for many of our internal tools, including our lighting toolset and a system for procedural geometry generation. We have released the code under the umbrella of the Cortex project, to encourage contributions from the wider community. Please visit the Cortex project page for more details.
"Image Engine is committed to encouraging collaboration within the visual effects community, and we see our contribution to open source software as an important aspect of that commitment."
