LUT Plugin API
|
Alan Jones <sky...@...>
Hi All,
I was thinking it'd be neat if OCIO provided an API for plugin LUTs (i.e. libraries that perform a LUT - they could use formula or whatever internally without any restrictions on syntax, outside of C++ of course). Making the API SIMD compatible could also be worth considering. I thought this may have some benefits over a straight formula syntax support. Particularly not requiring a syntax, the ability to use any library out there, also would make it simple for someone to offload to GPU and use built-in LUT support on those. I'm thinking it'd still be referenced by an xml config the same as all the others - just the source instead of myspace.lut would be myspace.so Cheers, Alan. |

Adding OCIO plugins is a really promising idea, which I'd like to explore in the medium term. I particularly like that it would allow for a clean partitioning of dependencies, and thus could be our window to CTL support! However, in the near team (before Jan) I'm a bit concerned about mission creep, and would like to keep the project focused on getting the simplest, cleanest, and fastest 1.0 implementation out the door. And having a bit of experience with plugin APIs, if they're worth doing at all they're usually worth doing right, so I'd like to make sure we have the time to really focus on doing a thorough job. -- Jeremy On Aug 12, 9:11 am, Alan Jones <sky...@...> wrote:
