Next generation data storage back-end for the widely used Alembic file format

Multiverse

Next generation data storage back-end for the widely used Alembic file format.

Authors: Aghiles Kheffache, Marco Pantaleoni, Bo Zhou, Paolo Berto Durante.

Repository organization

The original upstream Alembic code resides in the master branch.

The Multiverse code for the 2.0.0 release, resides in its own 2.0.0/multiverse branch and is the default landing branch for the repository when browsing on GitHub.

To use Multiverse, just checkout its branch:

$ git clone https://github.com/j-cube/multiverse.git
...

$ git checkout 2.0.0/multiverse

Note that both Multiverse code for 1.5.8 and 2.0.0 releases match Alembic API 1.5.8 and these branch could be merged and even fast-forwarded on the upstream 1.5.8 tag.

Support for Alembic API v1.6+ will be added after SIGGRAPH 2016.

Multiverse dependencies

In addition to the original Alembic dependencies, Multiverse needs the following additional dependencies:

• libgit2 v0.23.4+
• msgpack 1.0.1+
• boost 1.48.0+ compiled also with chrono, filesystem, system (in addition to the original program_options, thread and python)
