Hello everyone,
We've just wrapped fx work on Oz: The Great and Powerful, and we have a few updates to Field3D coming that were developed during the show:
1 - SparseField now has a custom interpolator that is significantly faster than the old one. It takes advantage of cases where all values lie in the same block, and optimizes memory access accordingly.
2 - SparseField now uses raw pointers for its block grid and for its block data. An unallocated grid is half the size compared to the previous version.
3 - SparseField's memory allocation has been sped up, which greatly improves the speed of constructing the fields and writing data to it.
These changes have been run though a large number of shots already, so we are considering them "battle tested". The main branch has been updated to v1.4 with these changes.
