18:06.12 IriX64 twingy... freebsdcad... sending it to incoming now.
18:07.16 IriX64 have a linux build too, dunno what to do with that one :)
18:12.21 IriX64 anybody in the channel have use for a linux build of brlcad i586arch?
18:13.46 IriX64 smoke break.
18:24.08 ``Erik why would twingy want your build? and why would anyone want a linux build? they're available from sourceforge, and pretty much all of us happily compile things ourselves...
18:24.43 IriX64 did some work on it.
18:25.11 IriX64 you already have a freebsd build?
18:26.43 IriX64 chose freebsd cause its not mentioned at sourceforge.
18:27.14 brlcad it's one of the supported binary distributions
18:27.31 brlcad http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=105292
18:27.33 brlcad top of the list
18:27.42 IriX64 ill stop this ftp transfer then.
18:27.56 IriX64 or would you care to examine it.
18:28.11 IriX64 did some work on the geometry browser.
18:28.19 brlcad what sort of work?
18:28.30 brlcad it could use a lot of work :)
18:28.35 IriX64 cascading tree browser.
18:28.49 brlcad i know what it is, I wrote most of it
18:28.54 brlcad what did you do with it?
18:29.15 IriX64 double click and it displays to the graphics window.
18:29.29 IriX64 or clear and display and set color
18:29.49 brlcad again, you're telling me what it does.. I know what it does :)
18:29.59 brlcad what did YOU do with it, any code changes?
18:29.59 IriX64 prettied the window up a little.
18:30.10 IriX64 yes some
18:30.27 IriX64 but this upload is the binaries.
18:30.36 IriX64 ill send source if you like.
18:30.36 brlcad you should post up a source patch
18:30.51 IriX64 a diff?
18:31.12 brlcad yeah, a unified diff (diff -u), post it to http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=105292&atid=640804
18:32.54 IriX64 that site loads but doesn't display anything.
18:33.07 IriX64 whup sorry.
18:33.19 brlcad do you see the "Submit New" link?
18:33.30 brlcad http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=add&group_id=105292&atid=640804
18:34.09 IriX64 yes
18:34.29 IriX64 says login and submit new.
18:34.37 IriX64 im not in cvs.
18:35.34 brlcad so login, and submit new :)
18:36.25 IriX64 how do i begin doen't i have to be accepted to be able to login?
18:37.19 IriX64 its the source of the SOURCEforge system i use :)
18:39.59 brlcad do you have a sourceforge account?
18:40.12 IriX64 no i don't.
18:40.13 brlcad if not, create one -- there's a link on the login link
18:40.19 brlcad it's quick
18:40.21 brlcad painless
18:40.41 IriX64 what does it do for me and how much does it cost?
18:41.30 ValarQ how is brlcads support for generating drawings?
18:42.13 IriX64 i dont have a postscript printer or a plotter so i cant comment, however the interface to generate same is beautiful.
18:43.16 IriX64 the rendering to the screen tho, most beautiful pictures of the gunship ive ever seen, actually only pictures of it ive ever seen.
18:43.30 ValarQ i have tried to generate postscript from some of the examples and it looks very good
18:43.52 ValarQ but i might want to add some measurements and other information
18:43.54 IriX64 maybe i should invest in such a printer.
18:44.02 ValarQ can that be done easily?
18:44.11 IriX64 should make it so the grid prints.
18:44.29 IriX64 can be actually.
18:45.27 brlcad IriX64: did you even look? it's free
18:45.51 brlcad it lets you submit patches.. if that's not enough in itself, I'm not sure what would convince you
18:46.12 IriX64 this is how id do it, your raytracing the drawing line by line anyway, simplay add a grid ala acad to the drawing and include an option to scan the grid or not so itll print on request
18:46.39 IriX64 ive never looked brlcad i thought it was a subscription service like some others.
18:47.42 IriX64 just have a switch for the grid like you do now.
18:47.57 IriX64 use the grid control panel to set hash marks.
18:48.36 brlcad ValarQ: there are various ways to save the wireframe, but the method used "in production" is the rtedge raytracer
18:48.38 IriX64 smoke break bbiab
18:49.41 brlcad rtedge doesn't have dimensioning support yet, but it does do nice hidden-line rendered drawings
18:49.55 ValarQ rtedge?
18:50.03 brlcad example: http://ftp.brlcad.org/images/havoc_rtedge.png
18:50.25 ValarQ yeah, that looks great
18:50.39 ValarQ i'm missing dimenstions thought
18:51.47 *** join/#brlcad PrezKennedy (n=Apathy@c-68-33-243-45.hsd1.md.comcast.net)
18:53.12 ValarQ how do you make that hidden-line render?
18:53.22 brlcad run rtedge instead of rt
18:53.45 brlcad brlman rtedge (or just man rtedge if your MANPATH is set)
18:54.03 brlcad rtedge -F/dev/Xl -s1024 havoc.g havoc
18:54.26 brlcad inside mged, maybe something like: rtedge -F/dev/Xl -s800
18:56.01 PrezKennedy brlcad, im afraid to wear my glasses now... im afraid no one will recognize me
19:08.12 brlcad heh
19:14.58 IriX64 havoc.sh neat
19:17.31 IriX64 brlcad thats a lovely pix of havoc.
19:18.10 IriX64 i have one of her climbing and showing her belly sort of lower left to upper right.
19:20.31 ``Erik *yawn*
19:20.56 IriX64 use your raytrace script loader to see ill dcc it to you if you like
19:21.03 ``Erik freebsd users are mostly unlikely to bother with a binary on the sf page... we'd rather build from ports or do a pkg_add -r brlcad and get it from the freebsd buildfarm... :)
19:21.15 brlcad IriX64: i've yet to see you use dcc successfully ;)
19:21.28 ``Erik and havoc is an interesting 'coptor... the Mi28, which lost in a bid-war to the Ka50... both impressive machines :)
19:21.32 IriX64 sigh point taken. :)
19:21.52 IriX64 do u have a pix of the latter.?
19:22.00 ``Erik google or go to wikipedia
19:22.20 IriX64 should have thought of that doh.
19:22.26 ``Erik I think it's nickname is "black shark"?
19:22.41 IriX64 ill mail it to ``Erik :)
19:22.42 ``Erik its, even
19:23.15 ``Erik heh, the only email of mine you have is one that would bounce a large attachment :>
19:23.18 IriX64 ``Erik my system knows who she is now :)
19:23.46 IriX64 but no the script is very small load it in mgeds script loader.
19:24.08 IriX64 displays nicely.
19:24.33 ``Erik brlcad, why don't we have a simple aa box that just takes two opposing points?
19:26.39 IriX64 mail ``Erik.
19:27.38 ``Erik why? I don't want some script shit :/
19:27.53 ``Erik <-- busy trying to implement metaballs
19:28.11 IriX64 its such hot shit toilet paper burns when it touches it. :)
19:28.20 IriX64 smoke time bbiab.
19:31.48 ``Erik mebbe I'll implement a two point aa box first, heh
19:41.37 brlcad ``Erik: if you need a ground plane, that'd be a halfspace prim
19:42.13 brlcad there is a make_bb cmd to make a simple bounding box arb on objects
19:42.51 brlcad use that and move the top face underneath and you'll have a perfectly sized base box
20:28.18 ``Erik hm, I was doing reflective/refrative stuff, so the goal was "near-infinite"
20:28.37 ``Erik big honkin' hollow sphere with something to cut through it woulda probably been best...
20:43.42 Twingy hum
20:50.40 ``Erik bastage
20:54.07 SWPadnos sumnum fargin' bastage?
21:56.43 ``Erik mmm quesadillas
22:14.37 IriX64 man.... ive gotta abort, i cant take it anymore.
22:16.11 IriX64 chow
22:22.21 Twingy that's what his mom said just before birth
22:27.39 ``Erik awesome
22:45.12 Twingy hah, grills gone wild
