The Black Trap in Munich on Behance. Openfootage. Home - Voxel Forge. Walt Disney Animation Studios. Arithmetic expressions appear in almost every animation system ever created. Being able to embed an expression language in a piece of custom software allows an amazing degree of artistic freedom. At Disney artists have enjoyed using expressions because they allow just enough flexibility without being overwhelming to non-programmer users. Developers have enjoyed them too for quick prototyping and deployment of fixes to production needs. History At Disney there have been various expression languages. SeExpr started as a language for our procedural geometry instancing tool, XGen. Work was done to generalize it into something that could be used in other contexts. Expressions can be seen as a way of allowing customization of inner loops. Major Features Arithmetic expression of scalar/vector types Large library of builtin functions Extensible variables and functions (including with DSOs) Simple to embed in any program Get Started Demos Artistic control is very important for film making.
