MaterialX adds support for Slang Shader generation!

The Slang team at The Khronos Group is excited to announce a collaborative milestone: the MaterialX project now includes a dedicated Slang shader generator. MaterialX describes complex, hardware-agnostic look-development data. This integration positions Slang as a critical bridge for open-standard material interoperability

MaterialX Adds Support for Slang Shader Generation – ASWF

Today at #aswf #opensourcedays was great. Some great talks (Anders had a ton of great info on lights in USD), but the conversations were make these things indispensable.

Such a great, engaged community.

Nothing like going to SIGGRAPH to feel both old (which is fine - I am) but also the warm glow of éminence grise-ness (not a phrase, I know).

My first SIGGRAPH was 1987 when I was working at NCSA.

I worked for the late, great Nancy St. John, who literally introduced me to everyone (you could still do that back then).

Such a gift that I still get to go for work.

#digipro was excellent- now looking forward to #aswf #opensourcedays starting tmw!

Tomorrow I‘ll listen to the #ASWF (Academy Software Foundation) townhall for #xStudio. I‘ll finally get to see it and maybe learn when to expect a first release of this secretive VFX review and playback software.

Come see us at Open Source Days and #SIGGRAPH2025 next week!

Shout-out to our friends from Lenovo for providing us with hardware to showcase AlmaLinux at SIGGRAPH. Come check it out at booth 429!

Spent the afternoon building an hda to automate the fx dept USD exports, from SOPs, following the #ASWF standards. This is going to help lookdev massively as now all assets follow the same structure 💪
