opensubdiv for Mac

OpenSubdiv is a set of open source libraries that implement high performance subdivision surface (subdiv) evaluation on massively parallel CPU and GPU architectures. This codepath is optimized for drawing deforming subdivs with static topology at interactive framerates. The resulting limit surface matches Pixar's Renderman to numerical precision.

Prerequisites and Building

The OpenSubdiv core libraries are implemented in C++ with no dependencies other than the C++ standard library.

The OpenSubdiv::Osd library contains additional conditionally compiled components which use specific external CPU and GPU APIs for evaluation and display and there are also optional interactive examples. Some of these optional aspects are enabled by default but can be disabled while configuring the OpenSubdiv build.

For complete information, please see:

Versions

These are the versions of external dependencies used to test the current release of OpenSubdiv. Generally, OpenSubdiv will also work with earlier and later versions of these external dependencies, but this represents versions known to work.

Building with minimal dependencies to run glViewer and other example programs

All platforms:

Install cmake and GLFW

make sure GLFW install directories are configured as follows:

Clone OpenSubdiv repository

Windows (Visual Studio)

Linux

macOS

iOS

Use CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME to have CMake use the appropriate cross-compilation toolchain when building for iOS.

This will produce an "OpenSubdiv.xcodeproj" that can be opened with Xcode. Use SDKROOT=$(xcrun --sdk iphonesimulator --show-sdk-path) instead for an iOS-Sim target
