VR Lars Woodĭigitallysane: No need to be verbally aggressive. I am interested in suggestions for other challenges in VFX, modeling and animation. Note: we exclude use of machine learning image training exemplars as others have done. Currently we are looking at automatically creating an accurate 3D deformable model from a single image using algorithmic advanced image processing. Our initial thought process on this is to automate modeling with curves instead of with polygons or Subdivs. Now, we are moving to apply the AFX system to a problem of high difficulty in VFX, animation and modeling. AFX has Wolfram Language documentation including every function having runtime documentation using “?' operator.

Somewhat less for Python but we have no specific comparisons at this point, notwithstanding the full Wolfram Language is brought to bear.

AFX reduces Houdini Engine code application development by 93% from equivalent code written in C or C++ (this metric based upon recent tests where roughly seven lines of Wolfram Language AFX code consistently equates to 100 lines of C and C++ Houdini Engine code).

AFX works flawlessly on all Windows 10, Mac OS and Linux platforms. An effectively indefinite number of Houdini Engines can be started and used in parallel (based on licenses). Here are AFX technical specs: AFX is 20,000 lines of C and C++ code, seamlessly extends Wolfram Language by 260 new Houdini Engine primitive functions for VFX, Modeling and animation, all functions are completely thread safe and multiple AFX engines may be started and used simultaneously in or on multiple local or remote Mathematica sub-kernels. This provides a large number of technical computing capabilities to apply to VFX, animation and modeling. Our first project was to seamlessly connect Wolfram Research Mathematica (the Wolfram Language) to Houdini Engine, which we call the AFX engine. Current focus is automation of CGI (generally VFX, modeling and animation). FVG conducts independent research and development (IRAD) on technical computing challenges.
