[Bf-committers] OpenSubdiv status

[David Fenner]

Sergey... you rock. Simple as that.

How is it that you can work on such difficult projects at the same time and
get them done?? (Cycles, kernel split, depsgraph refractor, opensubdiv...)

Congratulations for being such an awesome, smart and hardworking brain.

> official OpenSubdiv repo).
> * Make sure Blender is still compilable with OpenSubdiv enabled with CMake

> * Enable OpenSubdiv and enjoy.

> So in the next couple of days i'll be solving this last stoppers and will

> I also started to update documentation which i started working on like an
