00:19.32 toxygen i was able to make .g from it
00:19.40 toxygen i loaded it into mged
00:19.45 toxygen i see the red lines
00:19.49 toxygen but cannot render them
00:20.01 toxygen how to make .obj from it?
02:42.49 starseeker Try the g-obj command

04:30.47 ``Erik or click "file", then "raytrace" and play with that
07:21.52 CIA-31 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r30126 10/brlcad/trunk/src/adrt/libtie/tie_define.h: eep, wth is DOUBLE_PRECISION? quell warning and make it TIE_DOUBLE_PRECISION.
07:59.13 CIA-31 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r30127 10/brlcad/trunk/ (32 files in 11 dirs): (log message trimmed)
07:59.13 CIA-31 BRL-CAD: accept markus elfring's sf patch [ 1864112 ] "Improve const-correctness" where
07:59.13 CIA-31 BRL-CAD: data items that are const are so annotated. while there are undoubtedly hundred
07:59.13 CIA-31 BRL-CAD: (if not thousands) of such cases across the codebase, he provided a patch for
07:59.13 CIA-31 BRL-CAD: several dozen that were in adrt, fbed, lgt, nirt, burst, and remrt. patch was
07:59.16 CIA-31 BRL-CAD: half manually applied as too much had already changed since the 7.10.4 source
07:59.18 CIA-31 BRL-CAD: release it was based off of. credit him with thanks for finally making a proper

14:21.30 ``Erik just breaks things? :)
14:36.52 Z80-Boy I reckon BRL-CAD could be ideal for machine-generated kinematic animations
14:37.18 Z80-Boy For example write a program that would take a music .mp3, break down into 7 frequency bands and animate 7 dancing figures
14:37.40 Z80-Boy Then output them in BRL-CAD format, render with rt, encode into a video and add the original tune as a soundtrack.
14:37.51 ``Erik hrm, it's kinda weak in animation stuff, though...
14:38.02 Z80-Boy what do you mean?
14:38.29 Z80-Boy The program would output it in .g frame by frame
14:38.29 Z80-Boy For that a simple rt call suffices
14:38.43 ``Erik well, like we don't have any ik type arrangement or any "keyframe" or I think bezier curve animation like a lot of packages do
14:38.46 Z80-Boy I mean actually in asc and call asc2g to every frame
14:38.57 ``Erik ohhhh, a seperate top for each frame? eck
14:38.57 Z80-Boy bezier?
14:38.58 ``Erik :)
14:39.03 ``Erik yeah, like uhhhhh
14:39.04 Z80-Boy OMG dancing people behave by bezier curves?
14:39.17 Z80-Boy Come on, this is for cheapo consumer grade Autocad-like packages :)
14:39.19 ``Erik no, it's just a convenient way to do a path
14:39.26 Z80-Boy We're like serious oldschoor
14:39.34 Z80-Boy oldschool
14:39.36 ``Erik dancing people would need some kinda ik to position limbs correctly
14:39.37 ``Erik hrmmm
14:39.42 Z80-Boy ik == ?
14:39.47 Z80-Boy inverse kinematic?
14:39.49 ``Erik bezier path the hands/feet/head and ik it together?
14:39.50 ``Erik yeah
14:40.33 Z80-Boy One can make them rubber
14:40.41 Z80-Boy elastic
14:40.49 Z80-Boy bouncing all around that's computationally inexpensive
14:41.19 ``Erik I d'no, spring&weight systems and ik systems can be done pretty cheap
14:41.47 ``Erik I mean, old "unreal tournament 2003" did both interactively while running a game on reasonably low powered hardware, the "ragdoll physics"
14:42.19 Z80-Boy then put some venetian blind window and cast shadows on them
14:42.23 Z80-Boy To show how mighty we are

17:33.31 Z80-Boy Compared to some others...
17:33.53 ``Erik heh, sorry, we can try to be more like #skateboardstoners or #pokemon if that'd make you more comfortable
17:34.02 ``Erik :D
17:34.22 Z80-Boy NO I mean like intelligent = better
17:34.38 Z80-Boy Like sometimes they label me a troll just because I have a minority opinion
17:34.44 Z80-Boy Or because I have a lengthy discussion

17:37.00 Z80-Boy Banning insulting people always ends up like in the football
17:37.20 Z80-Boy If you want to annoy someone then you act like having been insulted and this way you can make him get punished quite reliably
