18:18.43 ``Erik (and is what's-his-name there with you?)
19:32.07 b0ef is it a goal for BRL-CAD to support a full NURBS manipulation environment with the new interface?
19:57.55 *** join/#brlcad IriX64 (n=IriX64@toronto-HSE-ppp4304030.sympatico.ca)
20:02.14 IriX64 brlcad qualifies as a ton of source code :)
20:03.06 b0ef does the brl-cad NURBS tools, which are not visible in the editor, support a full range of operations on NURBS?
20:04.04 IriX64 define nurbs, i'm a neophyte.
20:04.50 b0ef IriX64: http://wikipedia.org/wiki/Nurbs
20:05.03 IriX64 ty.
20:06.45 IriX64 fer cris sake a wave modeler?
20:07.36 IriX64 i'll try it after i get it built again :)
20:09.10 b0ef IriX64: the NURBS tools are not accessible with the current editor
20:10.47 IriX64 thankyou but you should still be able to run them from mged
20:11.19 IriX64 or is that the current editor you're talking about meaning the geometry editor?
20:12.50 b0ef yes, you can't manipulate NURBS
20:13.05 b0ef you can only import NURBS, but not do anything with them
20:13.07 IriX64 but you said nurbs *tools.
20:13.40 b0ef yes, there are apparently some NURBS tools in the code, but the are not accessible from anywhere
20:13.59 IriX64 try ./tool :)
20:14.05 b0ef s/the are/they are/
20:14.26 IriX64 ./tool.exe
20:19.44 ``Erik nurb support was a thing that was being worked on and the person like retired or something, so work stopped... thten it was reassigned to someone a few months back, and he worked on it, and then he got assigned to a different project...
20:19.49 ``Erik irix, you're a tool.exe.
20:20.34 IriX64 try it. (I am gemoetry) :)
20:20.36 ``Erik so, nurbs are an incomplete primitive... :)
20:21.31 b0ef ``Erik: yes, but is it the goal of BRL-CAD to support extensive NURBS manipulation?;)
20:21.59 ``Erik it was the intent a couple times in history... I believe it's a perpetual intent, but when the boss says "quit that, work on this instead"... *shrug* :)
20:22.10 ``Erik feel free to code up the rest of the nurbs stuff if you want it that bad :D
20:22.24 ``Erik the most recent efforts were moved into a branch in april
20:22.39 IriX64 in other words take it up with his boss.
20:22.44 IriX64 heh sorry.
20:23.43 IriX64 ``Erik? Archer works on my windows box, but the *nix implementation, incomplete?
20:23.47 b0ef ``Erik: ;), it's a little out of my scope for the moment, but I just wanted to clarify if it was the goal and it is; thanks
20:24.01 ``Erik archer was written for widnows, the idea to port it to *nix is being discussed...
20:24.25 ``Erik b0ef: http://brlcad.cvs.sourceforge.net/brlcad/brlcad/librt/g_nurb.c?hideattic=0&view=log
20:24.32 ``Erik before the dir reorg :)
20:25.44 IriX64 you're a good woman ``Erik. :)
20:27.50 IriX64 wonder if he still has lucy van pelt, he founded an industry with that floppy door latch thing.
20:32.00 IriX64 time for a breath of air bbiab.
20:54.14 IriX64 ``Erik? if i wanted to share some of my stuff, must i go through cvs?
20:57.11 IriX64 is ftp.brlcad.org an official brl-cad server?
21:05.23 ``Erik uhhhh, share what stuff?
21:06.50 IriX64 code both binaries & sorce :)
21:10.30 siggraph b0ef: full range of operations except trimmings .. that was very recently being worked on but is incomplete afaik
21:12.38 siggraph b0ef: i would say the intent is to eventually add full nurbs manipulation support in the modeling environment, as well as possibly use the nurbs in-memory representation as a means to support b-rep dual representations of implicits to allow for more flexible editing operations as needed
21:13.10 siggraph just need someone that's interested enough to make it their own, get knee deep in code, and flesh it out
21:15.45 siggraph IriX64: archer is inherintly cross-platform.. but it's currently expecting to be able to load a plugin and that code hasn't been hashed out really
21:16.25 ``Erik sean
21:16.31 siggraph IriX64: if you have source changes, there are instructions in the HACKING file on making a universal diff and where it can be posted (basically to the sf.net patches tracker)
21:16.42 ``Erik still near what's-his-name?
21:16.56 siggraph i haven't seen em since tues
21:17.00 ``Erik ah
21:17.05 ``Erik didja see... my balls? :D
21:17.31 IriX64 the.... galls:)
21:18.05 ``Erik http://math.missouristate.edu/~erik/niceballs.png hehehe
21:18.24 IriX64 still waiting on a reply re the server.
21:19.28 siggraph ``Erik: coolness
21:22.41 IriX64 more i look at it... maybe the march of the balls.:)

21:33.50 b0ef siggraph: that's excellent to hear;) - this would include hierarchical NURBS as well, right?. (stitching together surfaces of different resolutions)
21:39.20 siggraph to properly stitch together surfaces, you really need to be able to trim (some of) them for certain operations
21:39.54 siggraph otherwise, you can even mix them with implicits and they'll evaluate correctly
21:42.48 b0ef yes, trimming is very important;)
22:05.22 Twingy you don't need trimming to stitch together surface
22:06.20 Twingy you can do it with knot insertion using a third surface

22:10.42 b0ef Twingy: ah, you're the maintainer of nurbana;)
22:13.27 Twingy or lack there of
22:13.41 b0ef well, yeah, one day;)
22:13.53 b0ef you should publish your paypal account;)
22:14.33 Twingy nurbana was a learning experience
22:17.00 b0ef you intend to pursue it with BRL-CAD?
22:17.39 Twingy given the projects I'm currently involved with (Rocketry, GCAM, House Work) I'm afraid it won't happen
22:18.52 b0ef sad; NURBS is really lacking in the free software world
22:19.03 b0ef siggraph: have you decided on gtk+ yet?;)
22:19.09 siggraph heh
22:19.12 b0ef hehe
22:19.20 b0ef indeed
22:19.22 pra5ad siggraph: try out the full body DDR?
22:19.44 siggraph pra5ad: they had that a couple years ago
22:19.56 pra5ad is it production quality now?
22:21.16 Twingy running a freebsd vm to do all my development on my mac is bliss
22:22.23 siggraph pra5ad: pretty much
22:22.37 siggraph there was much cooler stuff than that in emerging tech, though
22:22.59 Twingy I can embrace apple as my desktop machine of choice
22:23.21 pra5ad oh bice
22:23.24 pra5ad nice*
22:24.15 Twingy all on the same laptop
22:27.49 ``Erik does it have a serial port? or do you have a usb/serial converter?
22:28.52 ``Erik (or are you driving the programmer on a bsd or winderz box and just generating hex images on the lappie?)
22:29.13 Twingy I ordered 2 yesterday

22:29.41 Twingy my pair of semitech's are only supports by winbloze
22:30.06 ``Erik I bought one a while back supported on winderz and mac, but lacking decent serial devices, haven't gotten it working yet
22:30.27 Twingy I'm going to use mine with my garmin etrex
22:30.51 ``Erik ooh, yeah, I got a legend with a serial cable somewhere...
22:31.38 Twingy I just hope our parallels licenses come in before mine expires in 12 days
22:33.01 ``Erik <-- likes shelling into a fbsd box to do dev, would rather avoid being in the same room as all the noise and heat from compiling :)
22:33.57 Twingy doesn't work so well when you're in the middle of desert in yuma
22:34.42 ``Erik true
22:40.24 Twingy I'm saving so much money by eating $3 microwavable lunches
22:40.51 ``Erik I spent $25 on eating out last month, heh
22:40.55 Twingy I get cranky when I don't eat
