Welcome to the Multiverse wiki!
Multiverse — Next generation data back-end to the widely used Alembic file format.
A poster about the multiverse technology has been accepted and published at SIGGRAPH Asia 2015, Kobe.
The Multiverse back-end relies on Git, a powerful distributed source control system. We inherit all the features introduced by Git, including:
- compact history and branching
- natural data de-duplication
- cryptographic data integrity
- SSH internet sharing protocol
- collaborative work capabilities
Multiverse scene data representation allows for punctual access to individual scene elements, opening the door to multi-threaded I/O as well as easy scene updates.
To our knowledge, it is the first time that such a set of features is available to the production community.
Now with its version 2.0.0 Multiverse also takes advantage of Milliways, a soon to be published powerful and fast on-disk key-value store C++ library.
