== History ==

Project ''OpenImageIO'' started as ''ImageIO'' - an [[API]] that was part of [[Gelato (software)|Gelato]], the [[rendering (computer graphics)|renderer]] software developed by [[nVidia]]. Work on ''ImageIO'' started in 2002. In the same year the specification of the API and its header files was released under BSD license. In 2007, when the project Gelato was stopped, the development of ''ImageIO'' also ceased. After this Larry Gritz started a new project - ''OpenImageIO''.

In April 2009 ''OpenImageIO'' was accepted into the [[Google Summer of Code]] program with four student slots.

September 2009 marked the release of ''[[Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs (film)|Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs]]'', the first full-length [[feature film]] in whose production ''OpenImageIO'', alongside ''[[Open Shading Language|OpenShadingLanguage]]'', has been used as the [[texture mapping|texturing]] engine.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://lists.openimageio.org/pipermail/oiio-dev-openimageio.org/2009-September/001721.html |title=Oiio-dev mailing list: 'Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs...' |accessdate=2009-09-18 |last=Larry Gritz |date=2009-09-18 |work= |publisher=}}</ref>
