07:39.13 clock_ brlcad: BRL-CAD can do extruded bitmaps, e. g. I supply an array of white and black pixels and it puts a column in place of each pixel, am I right?
07:45.08 clock_ 00538 #define ID_SUBMODEL 28 /**< @brief Instanced submodel */
07:45.21 clock_ What is instanced submodel? Is it possible to include other files into my model?

19:20.06 brlcad clock_: you are right, there's an "ebm" primitive (extruded bitmap) .. in that image with all of the primitives listed, the "BRL-CAD" title in the bottom right is an ebm
19:20.27 brlcad a submodel is a means to refer to geometry in other files
19:20.30 clock_ brlcad: and the ebm does it have jagged edges like a staircase?
19:20.49 brlcad yep
19:20.55 ``Erik since it's an extrusion of a raster image, of course...
19:21.05 clock_ and non-jagged edges can be done with extruded sketch?
19:21.08 brlcad though you can make the edges rather tiny with a high res image
19:21.21 brlcad yes, sketch would give you proper curves
19:21.22 clock_ brlcad: but the shading will be still made from 2 colours
19:21.32 clock_ brlcad: is there a way to convert SVG or PS into a sketch?
19:21.50 brlcad http://ftp.brlcad.org/tmp/primitives/ebm.png
19:21.59 brlcad made from http://ftp.brlcad.org/tmp/primitives/ebmtitle.png
19:22.34 clock_ brlcad: how are the shade levels treated?
19:22.50 brlcad shade levels?
19:23.01 brlcad it's makes actual geometry
19:23.07 ``Erik um, I think he means on the source image
19:23.17 clock_ yes on the source image
19:23.34 ``Erik it's a heighmap, right? so the color relates to the height of the solid at that position?
19:23.42 ``Erik (am I guessin' wrong? :)
19:31.20 brlcad there are three primitives that take data in a raw grided/raster form, the dsp, the ebm, and the vol
19:32.09 brlcad dsp takes short value data (0-65536) that translates to differing height values on the geometry it represents
19:33.05 clock_ 0-65536 and not 0-65535?
19:34.36 brlcad er, yeah, sorry
19:34.59 clock_ brlcad: have you ever programmed in assembler?
19:35.02 brlcad the ebm takes bw data (0-255) that translates to differing height values
19:35.42 brlcad vol takes bw data and a range of intensities that represent geometry it should create
19:36.02 brlcad clock_: yes, quite a bit -- though predominantly mips, not x86
19:36.15 brlcad and was many moons ago now
19:37.13 ``Erik which mips? only mips I did was r2k :( long long ago
19:37.50 ``Erik <-- mostly 65xx and 68xx asm :) more x86 than mips tho
19:38.12 clock_ brlcad: saying 0-65536 that's like stepping on the gas instead of break in automobile :)
19:39.23 brlcad hm, I think it was actually MIPS IV or MIPS32, forget
19:39.33 ``Erik skewl days?
19:39.47 brlcad some, a lot then too
19:40.04 brlcad fundamentals of computer architecture went into quite a bit
19:40.12 ``Erik *nod*
19:40.23 ``Erik you might even have the same big beige book I do for that class heh :)
19:41.24 brlcad good stuff: http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~larus/spim.html
19:41.39 ``Erik heh, that's the r2k I used... *cougH* O:-)
19:51.29 IriX64 why simulate get the real thing :)
19:51.45 ``Erik um, college students don't have a lot of bling?
19:52.20 IriX64 heh get a job :)
19:52.42 ``Erik heh, I had one at the time, I was still po'... the job mostly went to paying books and tuition :)
19:53.12 ``Erik (and these days, I'm busy paying off my house and car, so'z I don't buy much hw)
19:55.03 IriX64 http://irix32.spaces.live.com/photos (windowsside albumn) this took a while:)
19:56.48 IriX64 mmm no libpython2.5.a ... ok ill forgo adrt
19:57.28 IriX64 thats me right?
19:58.10 IriX64 wonder how long ago it stopped compiling :)
20:00.02 IriX64 house and car... luxieries :)
20:00.10 IriX64 sp?
20:06.01 IriX64 heh my funky build is installing.
20:07.06 IriX64 deleted /adrt and it built ;)
20:24.56 IriX64 http://www.pastebin.ca/469590 <--- this is where it is right now
20:25.28 IriX64 sorry ``Erik another of my inconsequential pastes :)
20:28.55 IriX64 gotta re-vist ssampvie.exe later.
20:29.06 IriX64 err ssampview.exe
20:36.32 IriX64 haha compilation 11 sweet
20:39.14 IriX64 when does the compilation number get reset? or does it ever?
20:41.18 IriX64 it works with Xming.
20:45.15 IriX64 http://irix32.spaces.live.com/photos windowsside albumn (I'll stop doing this now you guys have seen it)

23:45.59 brlcad does it require anything else (like an X11 server?)
