pyopenvdb

OpenVDB stands for Open Voxel Database. It is a framework for working with 3D, volumetric data (3D pixels aka voxels). This project currently supports python 3.7 and 3.8. This repo creates a docker container, which is used to build and package pyopenvdb. pyopenvdb.dockerfile is for development. prod_pyopenvdb.dockerfile is for testing installation of pyopenvdb pip package.

Installation

Currently only for linux systems with x86_64 architecture

1. pip install pyopenvdb
2. Find parent directory of pyopenvdb.so with find / | grep -P 'pyopenvdb\.so'
3. export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=[parent directory]
4. Add import numpy and import openvdb to ipykernel_launcher.py to get jupyter lab to import without a pointer error.

Dev Installation

Unless you intend on building and packing OpenVDB python bindings, you do not need to follow these instructions.

1. Install docker
2. Install docker-machine (if running on macOS or Windows)
3. Ensure docker-machine has at least 4 GB of memory allocated to it.
4. git clone git@github.com:theNewFlesh/pyopenvdb.git
5. cd pyopenvdb
6. chmod +x bin/pyopenvdb
7. bin/pyopenvdb start

The service should take several minutes to start up.

Run bin/pyopenvdb --help for more help on the command line tool.

Usage

>>>python3.7

>>>import openvdb
