00:03.19 prasad_ pix?
00:09.57 Twingy erm
00:10.06 Twingy I haven't modified the optical rendering any
00:10.32 Twingy I'd say by early this week I should be above the 1 million hump
00:18.13 Twingy o.O
00:46.06 CIA-2 BRL-CAD: 03twingy * 10brlcad/src/adrt/libtie/tie.c:
00:46.06 CIA-2 BRL-CAD: TIE is now more than 5% faster for incoherent rays.
00:46.06 CIA-2 BRL-CAD: It now properly uses ray segments.

19:41.53 Robstafarian I'm having trouble running 'fbserv'
19:43.00 Robstafarian I'm following the tutorial in the MGED manual, building a cup, and the example frame buffer device "/dev/sgip" does not exist on my system
19:43.08 Robstafarian what device should I use instead?
19:46.46 *** join/#brlcad troy (N=troy@wnpgmb01dc2-39-22.dynamic.mts.net)
19:47.09 Robstafarian is anyone actually here?
19:51.33 troy I'm alive, but just popped in for the first time
19:51.46 troy waiting for compile to finish - reading some docs first
19:52.24 Robstafarian I'm having trouble with the tutorial
19:52.40 troy I'm not that far in yet...
19:52.55 Robstafarian the MGED manual has a nice tutorial on how to build a coffee mug, though it is missing a couple of code snippets
19:53.10 Robstafarian if you read carefully, you can infer the commands that are missing
19:53.18 Robstafarian my problem is with a command listed
19:53.52 Robstafarian it would appear that MGED can't see the entries in my /dev
19:54.06 Robstafarian which prevents me from opening a rendering window
19:54.27 Robstafarian troy, what OS are you running?
19:54.36 troy freebsd
19:54.49 Robstafarian ah, I'm on Linux
19:55.03 troy should not be largely different wrt this software
19:55.32 Robstafarian that's my thinking, though FreeBSD and Linux (using udev) handle devices differently
19:56.19 Robstafarian I'm starting to think I should help with the docutmentation effort, those missing code (actually, command) examples could prove a dead end for some readers
19:56.30 troy different /dev naming scheme - different libc - few other different things
19:56.56 Robstafarian if you like, I'll hang around until you get to that point in the tutorial and tell you what was left out
19:57.06 troy It'll be some hours
19:57.09 troy maybe tomorrow
19:57.10 Robstafarian ah
19:58.19 troy what I'm most interested in is if there are any built-in statics calculations to save me some time... will a given wall hold a weight, etc.
19:58.51 Robstafarian from the description, it sounds like there might be
19:59.12 Robstafarian objects being logical structures that appear to rely on a database of properties
19:59.34 Robstafarian for instance, the effect of using "plastic" for the shader of an object is not specified as a command
19:59.45 Robstafarian so, the meaning of "plastic" must be embedded somewhere
19:59.58 troy right - but how advanced is it... will it handle masonry or similar... (how thick does the stone wall have to be at 12 metres, etc.
20:00.06 Robstafarian I suppose it's possible there are more detailed physical properties in that definition
20:01.19 Robstafarian it certainly sounds like BRL-CAD has some ability to simulate physical interactions
20:01.44 troy yes, from the description, I could not only build my stone wall, but fire a cannon at it
20:02.15 Robstafarian which would be GREAT 8?}
20:02.37 troy indeed - anyway, I'll be back once it's done compiling
20:03.18 Robstafarian alright, good luck
