MaterialX open source library now available

Lucasfilm and ILM have released the first iteration of MaterialX as an open source library, made available under a modified Apache license. MaterialX is a platform­-independent standard to describe the “complete look” of CG objects that can be used to pass assets from one software package to another or be shared between facilities. Both Foundry and Autodesk have made statements pledging to add native support for the standard in future releases of their DCC tools. You can learn more about this announcement and find resources on the MaterialX website.
