Public Review

Involving all ASAM members to ensure high quality, usefulness and implementability of our standards.

Public Review

ASAM is asking for feedback on release candidates for upcoming new standards or major versions prior to their release. Purpose of this review is to improve quality and efficiency of the standards. 

 

Provide your feedback / leave comments on:

  • Completeness:  Are there any missing parts or features that are required to use the standard? 
  • Unclarities and ambiguities:  Are there any terms, definitions or content parts that are imprecise, unclear, not (sufficiently) defined or not understandable?
  • Inconsistencies:  Are there any terms, definitions or content parts that contradict each other or are incompatible with other parts of the standard? Is the structure and line of reasoning plausible and consistent?
  • Usefulness:  According to your expertise, is the standard practical and useful? Does it meet current market needs and requirements? 
  • Implementability:  According to your expertise, is the standard in its current form feasible and can it be implemented cost-effectively? Does the standard allow an implementation with state-of-the-art technologies? Is the standard designed to be future-proof.
  • Do not submit new use-cases, features or requirements for the upcoming release.
ASAM OpenMATERIAL 3D 1.1.0

The release candidate introduces several important enhancements. New geometry features include support for discrete light sources and emissive materials, references to external OpenMATERIAL 3D assets, material replacement, and additional geometry properties. Material descriptions have also been extended with receiver solid-angle information for BRDF look-up tables (for more details see the release notes on GitHub).

 

The release further adds new checker rules, including consistency checks for lighting, external references, geometry properties and Schema references. Schema documentation has also been improved and now provides more complete information about constraints such as value ranges, dependencies, uniqueness and permitted formats (see checker bundle repository release canidate and release notes on GitHub).

 

The release candidate is available on GitHub and is open for review and feedback in Pastel before final approval by the ASAM TSC.
