00:52.11 matt_ezeki_230 hi guys! i've a little and (i hope!) trite question for you... i created a region from several primitive shapes with command "r reg.r u pshape1.s u pshape2.s u ... pshapen.s" but when i tried to give the command "rt -W -s1024 -o file.pix" to have the bw raytrace i obtained a region coloured gray. Does anyone know why?
01:52.56 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/src/mged/ (attach.c ged.h): declare mged_link_vars() correctly
02:09.53 brlcad matt_ezeki_230: it's because you haven't specified a color on your region -- the default color of regions is a dull white which generally ends up looking like gray with the default ambient lighting and default lights
02:10.43 brlcad you can/should specify the color of the region using the mater command (material "plastic" works well enough for most purposes) or using the Combination Editor's Shader panel

06:11.55 matt_ezeki_230 what i'd like to obtain is the same effect of the command "rt -W" on a primitive shape, but for a region. I tried...
06:12.21 matt_ezeki_230 1) "r reg.r u pshape1.s u pshape2.s u ... pshapen.s"
06:13.09 matt_ezeki_230 2) "mater reg.r bwtexture 255 255 255 0"
06:13.27 matt_ezeki_230 but nothing! it's still gray
06:13.50 matt_ezeki_230 3) "mater reg.r plastic 255 255 255 0"
06:14.03 matt_ezeki_230 but it's still gray!
06:16.29 matt_ezeki_230 is it possibile? maybe i'm wrong..
06:21.37 *** join/#brlcad clock_ (i=clock@84-72-89-191.dclient.hispeed.ch)
06:45.15 matt_ezeki_230 sorry... is it obvious that the diagram shows a gray region because i give the command
06:45.29 matt_ezeki_230 "rt -W -s1024 -o file.pix"
06:46.43 matt_ezeki_230 to raytrace. Certainly, when i'll do i rt without option -W it will go all ok!
06:47.02 matt_ezeki_230 but... another question...
06:48.48 matt_ezeki_230 the option -W permit to raytrace with a white background SHOWING the BLACK BORDERS of primitive shapes
06:48.57 matt_ezeki_230 do you remember this?
06:50.35 matt_ezeki_230 ok... how can i get the same effect for a region? if i assign to it material properties and raytrace in classical way the borders aren't showed
06:51.25 matt_ezeki_230 and if i raytrace with option -W the diagram is gray....
07:02.37 matt_ezeki_230 ok it's ok! the command was not "rt -W ...." but "rtedge -W ..."

08:10.41 clock_ brlcad: I have a mental block on surfing: http://www.archive.org/download/leda009/18.mental.mp3
08:15.57 clock_ Is it OK to compile brlcad with -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -march=pentium-3 or is it gonna wipe out on some gcc bug?
13:52.48 brlcad i'd suggest just --enable-optimized --with-cflags="-march=pentium-3" instead
13:54.00 clock_ brlcad: did you have to learn duck diving and strenghten your muscles for paddling?
13:56.38 brlcad not really
13:57.05 brlcad it was exhausting, but not horribly so
13:57.36 clock_ brlcad: muscle mass or fat mass?
13:57.51 brlcad muscle mostly
13:58.01 clock_ and you call that a *problem*?
13:58.06 brlcad just not an efficient swimmer
13:58.12 brlcad sure, it can be a problem
13:58.23 clock_ brlcad: where did you get this? From genetics? Steroids? Or, god save us, fitness room?
13:58.44 brlcad powerlifting, I generally work out a lot
13:58.54 brlcad not genetics or steroids
13:59.14 clock_ brlcad: cool, you just added a drop into the cup of determination for my sport attempts :)
14:00.14 clock_ brlcad: how still? Lifting doesn't increase your length
14:00.34 clock_ brlcad: is it better to be short or long on a surfboard>?
14:01.44 clock_ brlcad: powerlifting == to lift as much as possible?
14:08.15 brlcad yes, heavy lifting for bulk
14:09.10 brlcad for riding the surfboard, it's just balance .. might have an advantage being shorter, but for paddling out and catching the wave.. long arms definitely help
14:51.01 CIA-9 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/src/vas4/vas_io.c: clean up the logic on termio.h vs sgtty.h .. can't use both together

21:29.27 IriX64 can the overlap tool be used to eliminate them as well as find them?
21:31.46 IriX64 never mind, it can :)
21:33.34 IriX64 it's just that i'm not fluent in brlcadese. :)
22:01.55 brlcad which "overlap tool"?
22:35.12 IriX64 :) the one im playing with.
23:59.34 bjorkBSD Unable to find 'lib/tcl8.4' within the BRL-CAD software installation.
23:59.34 bjorkBSD This copy of BRL-CAD may not be properly installed.
23:59.41 bjorkBSD is that a fatal error?
23:59.48 IriX64 can be.
