OCIO TSC Meeting Notes

  • ACES 2.0 planning

    • Remi - finding some differences between the CTL and the Nuke versions, but making progress towards the CPU implementation in OCIO. Has a prototype for SDR and working now on HDR. Slower than ACES 1 - 8x slower right now. Will optimise of course, but don't expect the same level of performance. Using C++ 14 features currently - hoping we will bump that to the minimum for OCIO 2.4. Currently planning to add a fixed function for initial things, with possibility to add more. There's an AP1 clamp that should definitely be optional. 

    • Kevin and Scott are working on harmonizing versions etc between CTL + Python + Nuke/Blink

    • Remi will open a draft PR as soon as he's ready, at least with the CPU version, so folks can similarly test off one thing

    • There are a few things that might be worth extracting from the built-ins and refactoring for easier access from the API - matrix generation from chromaticities etc 

  • Color space naming discussion

  • Open source days / SIGGRAPH planning

    • Virtual Town Hall: Wednesday, July 24, 2:00-3:00 pm PT (10:00 pm London/7:00am next day Sydney)

    • BOF: Monday, July 29 @ 5pm PT - Beers of a Feather to follow  

    • NanoColor Presentation - Open Source Days, Sunday July 28

  • Dev Days planning - Sept 26-27, 2024

    • OCIO is planning to participate, with the knowledge that it will run up against our deadline for the 2.4 release on Oct 1. 

    • Carol is going to submit the project registration form, and then more work can be done on "good first issues" later on.
