Open Source Days 2024

O3DE, a full-featured, real-time MIT/Apache2 open source 3D engine, can be used to create high-fidelity games, robotic simulations and immersive 3D worlds. This session will focus on explaining how the O3DE Render Pipeline works, how to leverage its data driven nature, and in general how to customize it to suit your needs or artistic preferences. We will also discuss some endeavors to help O3DE move forward in the film/video space.

The Open Review initiative is focused on collaborative high quality review tools and their interoperability in the media and entertainment industries. Our projects include OpenRV from Autodesk, X Studio from DNEG, and a Media Encoding Guidelines project and test suite. This interactive session will explore and demo different review convergence opportunities to stimulate engagement and get feedback from the community.

Join us to hear from representatives from across the OpenUSD ecosystem about the latest efforts to enable seamless interchange of rendering-specific data in USD. This session will focus on materials, lights and cameras, with updates and discussion from OpenPBR, OpenColorIO, USD Camera Working Group, AOUSD and more.

Be part of the discussion on how best to represent these types of data so that we can all benefit from reliable, reproducible simulations of matter, light and more across different renderers and applications.

Join the OpenEXR Technical Steering Committee for an informal discussion about recent features and performance optimizations and future plans for GPU-based decompression and ABI stability. OpenEXR is the specification and reference implementation of the EXR file format, the professional-grade image storage format of the motion picture industry.

As workflows and assets move to the cloud, perimeter security is no longer adequate in many situations. New models, such as Zero Trust, are being used that require many clients and services to become security aware. For example, they may need to integrate with authentication and authorization services or to interoperate with logging, monitoring, or threat detection systems.

The Academy Software Foundation recently announced a new Zero Trust Working Group (WG) to develop standards and best practices for implementing zero trust solutions in media production applications. Join us for a discussion about the new ASWF Zero Trust WG and find out how to get involved.

It's been a bit over a year since DreamWorks' production renderer OpenMoonRay was released to the open-source community.  We've been continuously active since then on new features and improvements for production rendering, community engagement and more.  Come join as as we discuss the year in review, introduce new features and preview the coming roadmap.  We'll also be demoing exciting functionality of OpenMoonRay + Arras distributed rendering.  We're eager to chat with all rendering enthusiasts!

All OpenColorIO (OCIO) users and contributors are invited to join the OCIO Technical Steering Committee for an informal discussion around OCIO 2.4 features, config updates, and future plans. This will include discussion of the nanoColor project (light-weight OCIO) and the ASWF Color Interop Forum. OCIO is an open source color management solution.
