We all know that OpenEXR has pretty much standardised the storage formate for image planes
But now there are few new contenders for
- Images: OpenEXR
- Volumes: Field3d
- Geometry: Alembic
- Shaders: Open Shader Language
- Particles: Partio
With the future of the industry being more widely outsourced this standardisation between packages seems pretty important.
Somethings happened a long time ago
- Documents: PDF
- Edits: EDL
- Halfbaked scene descriptions: FBX
- Render Intermediates: RIB
But I really hope that people can start to be a little more uniform with thier formats that they are using
