The Disney Ptex library has been released as open source under the BSD license.

,----[ Quote ]
| The Disney Ptex library is now available to 
| the public community of texture artists, 
| lighters and modelers. The new open source 
| library supports Catmull-Clark subdivision 
| surfaces (including quad and non-quad faces), 
| Loop subdivision surfaces and polymeshes 
| (either all-quad or all-triangle). Also, 
| several data types are supported including 8 
| or 16-bit integer, float, and half-precision 
| float. An arbitrary number of channels can be 
| stored in a Ptex file. Arbitrary meta data can 
| be stored in the Ptex file and accessed 
| through the memory-managed cache.

Linux, PhotoShop, And Disney.

,----[ Quote ]
| At around the same time as my trip to Walt Disney World (give or take a few
| years), the Disney animation studio was adopting Linux.  The animators wanted
| Photoshop running on Linux.  Since Adobe wasn't providing this, Disney
| decided to fund a project to port the Windows version of Photosop to run on
| Linux under Wine.  And that's why, thanks to Disney, Photoshop runs on Linux.
|
| [...]
|
| And that's the main point of today's blog post.  Photoshop runs on Linux!
| Some folks out there may not want to make the move to Linux because they
| think they wouldn't be able to use Photoshop.  Not so. Photoshop runs on
| Linux!
