01:00.15 LinuxMafia hi
01:00.28 LinuxMafia is there any tool in brlcad
01:00.48 LinuxMafia for designing human body?
01:01.08 LinuxMafia i need to make a model of human body
01:04.26 LinuxMafia brlcad, u there?
01:21.47 CIA-29 BRL-CAD: 03poolio * 10brlcad/src/gtools/beset/ (population.c fitness.c fitness.h): final bug fixed in fitness. crossover and reproduction are stable and functional
01:30.46 LinuxMafia CIA-29, hi
01:36.39 poolio CIA-29 is a bot
01:36.58 poolio I'm not too familiar with modeling in brl-cad, but as far as I know there is not.
01:37.31 LinuxMafia poolio, thanks alot
03:01.55 poolio brlcad: I'm sick :\
03:02.31 poolio can I take a sick day and stay home? ;)
03:11.32 tessier_ LinuxMafia: Can't you get yourself a real gf?
03:11.50 LinuxMafia tessier_, no
03:12.14 LinuxMafia tessier_, can you do it for me plz
03:12.37 tessier_ LinuxMafia: Ok, next time I bang my gf I'll say "This one's for LinuxMafia!"
03:12.58 LinuxMafia lol
03:13.07 LinuxMafia i can do it myself :P
05:00.44 louipc hahah

08:13.18 tessier_ LinuxMafia: Mission accomplished. My gf thought I was weird but oh well. You are no longer a virgin by proxy.
08:13.30 tessier_ Hope it was as good for you as it was for me.

15:36.12 poolio brlcad: alright, mutation is implemented for ellipsoids and the results are only slightly better
15:36.16 poolio still not getting the graph I'd expect

17:16.00 LinuxMafia hi
17:16.10 LinuxMafia any one here
17:17.06 LinuxMafia is there any way to export files from other 3d softwares (makehuman) into brlcad
17:17.27 poolio brlcad: I'm gonna need a better computer to test this :P
17:23.18 poolio brlcad: My program is close to melting my laptop, and there's a slow memory leak that fills up my memory after a little while
17:23.22 poolio 80C :\
17:23.49 Maloeran What are you testing, poolio?
17:24.09 poolio My genetic algorithm program
17:24.22 Maloeran LinuxMafia, there are several exporters to the .g format, try to find one that would be appropriate
17:24.36 Maloeran And what is the GA looking for?
17:25.05 LinuxMafia Maloeran, thanks alot i will come back again
17:26.39 Maloeran LinuxMafia, look into /usr/brlcad/bin for ply-g, dxf-g, off-g, etc.
17:27.06 poolio Maloeran: a model!
17:27.23 LinuxMafia Maloeran, oh that would be great thanks alot ,
17:27.36 poolio Unfortunately it's not working too well
17:28.06 poolio Maloeran: It's trying to evolve a model that matches inputted voxel data
17:28.17 ``Erik a CSG model, that is
17:28.21 poolio so If you input voxel data that resembles a sphere, the GA shoudl output a sphere
17:28.27 poolio Yeah, CSG model :)
17:28.38 Maloeran Oh, I see. It's beginning to make sense
17:28.47 ``Erik a voxel model would be a no-op and a triangle model would be pretty darn easy :)
17:28.49 poolio Maloeran: poolio.org
17:28.53 Maloeran Well, I can give you an user on a 8 cores box if it would help
17:29.18 poolio Maloeran: It would definitely help, but for now there's much to be worked on before I go into full out testing
17:29.29 poolio For example, fixing the memory leak, implementing a few more routines, cleaning up code, etc...
17:29.37 Maloeran *nods* All right then
17:29.49 poolio I might have to take you up on that offer later :) My laptop is taking quite a beating
17:30.06 poolio I'd ask brlcad but he's probably really busy prepping for siggraph
17:30.35 Maloeran Oh? I didn't know brlcad had stuff to prepare for Siggraph
17:30.47 poolio I was of that opinion, but I could be wrong
17:31.03 poolio ``Erik might know more, or just ask brlcad when he gets back...from wherever it is he is
17:32.45 Maloeran Voxels to CSG really sounds like an... annoying problem
17:33.06 poolio Yep :)
17:33.18 Maloeran You'll have plenty of arbitrary values to obtain your solutions. I see why you would rather let a GA do all the "hard work" :)
18:04.04 CIA-29 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/src/libbu/backtrace.c:
18:04.04 CIA-29 BRL-CAD: increase the buffer size which is useful when gdb prints out stack variables,
18:04.04 CIA-29 BRL-CAD: but instead of dumping the overflow to stderr, write it to the log with a note
18:04.05 CIA-29 BRL-CAD: that it was trimmed. only given the warning if we're debugging.
18:08.10 poolio brlcad: As far as I can tell there aren't any result-effecting bugs, and crossover reproduction and mutation are all working (for spheres)
18:08.42 poolio It still isn't doing a good job of finding a good solution though, it converges relatively early and mutation isn't yielding any significantly higher results. And sometimes mutation causes the best individual to dip slightly
18:18.56 CIA-29 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/src/rt/do.c: initialize framename to null
19:04.57 ``Erik mal: to attend and mebbe do a BoF, not to present a paper or anything
19:05.43 poolio sorry ``Erik :\
19:10.21 CIA-29 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/src/mged/ged.c: better handling of command-mode when the parent is forked and waiting on the done notification

20:29.26 CIA-29 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/db/.cvsignore: ignore operators.g
20:35.43 poolio brlcad: I think part of the issue might just be the nature of the CSG problem. It might require a larger population and more generations to get the desired result. With a pop size of 500 and after 200 generations, it's stuck on a decent solution, but I wouldn't really call it near-optimal
