Announcement: ptexutils open source release

[Rajesh Sharma]

We are happy to announce that the Disney ptexutils code base has been released as open source under the Apache license!

This set of tools is intended to help user workflow in the adoption of Ptex, a per-face-texturing solution that removes the need for UV assignment (www.ptex.us).


Tools in this first release include:

•   ptxtransfer: Transfers texel data from one Ptex file to another using embedded geometry data, for addressing model topology changes.
•   ptxview: A 2D / 3D viewer for viewing the contents of a single Ptex file.
  

More utilities are planned to be added a later date. The open source community is encouraged to contribute additional utilities that others may find useful.
