Re: [Openexr-devel] Blender + OpenEXR

[Florian Kainz]

Hi Ton,

it is good to hear that OpenEXR works well for you.
I am looking forward to seeing your movie.

Regarding the color management project: We have written
an interpreter for the color transformation language
proposed in the paper you mentioned.  The interpreter
is fully functional.  We intend to release interpreter
as open source once ILM's legal department has determined
that the release will not create intellectual property
problems.  At this point I cannot give you a release date.

Florian
