Quote - It would be cool to see that implemented in both poser and d/s.

I am not so sure if the average pc would be able to keep up with this past a certain point of subdivision. Or if most people could afford the supporting hardware/software.

Quote: "OpenSubdiv is a set of open source libraries that implement high performance subdivision surface (subdiv) evaluation on massively parallel CPU and GPU architectures."

Note the "massively paralell" part on the opening statement. That would exclude a lot of the systems that Poser and DS are installed on.

Massivley paralell gpu cores would be 2000+ cuda cores, or 6000+ stream processors per motherboard/blade. Not cheap.....

Massivley paralell cpus is lots of Xeons in a blade setup. Again, not cheap...

It would be awesome if they added this to Poser and DS, but the price probably would not be very end user friendly right now. Note the right now part...

But you never know... It may happen sooner than later...

Many software companies are starting to put a lot of thier stuff into opensource again.

Opensource is the first step in getting it to everyone, and making the hardware to run it affordable.

People will support Opensource that works, and leave propritary stuff behind. Food for thought...
