| 00:20.13 | yukonbob | starseeker: link, please ;) |
| 00:20.58 | starseeker | yukonbob: Don't have screenshot handy |
| 00:21.08 | yukonbob | starseeker: what kind of wheel? |
| 00:21.08 | starseeker | Anyway, waiting for brlcad to look over |
| 00:21.13 | starseeker | model car wheel |
| 00:21.18 | yukonbob | ah |
| 00:21.57 | yukonbob | !Release the wheel |
| 00:22.01 | yukonbob | ;) |
| 00:22.02 | starseeker | Well, it's my job now so it's part of my training |
| 00:22.41 | starseeker | I did upload my earth model |
| 00:22.48 | yukonbob | yes, you did that |
| 00:22.49 | starseeker | Did you have a chance to poke at that? |
| 00:23.20 | starseeker | Ah :-) |
| 00:23.26 | yukonbob | <PROTECTED> |
| 00:23.30 | starseeker | yes |
| 00:23.33 | starseeker | essentially |
| 00:23.51 | yukonbob | ie: no relief if i zoom in enough ;) |
| 00:24.28 | starseeker | Nah. In theory it might be able to do something with the right data, but I haven't tried real hard |
| 00:24.47 | starseeker | on the scale of this sucker, relief is almost in the noise except for the REALLY tall and deep points |
| 00:24.51 | yukonbob | would be a pretty big data set for an interesting image ;) |
| 00:24.57 | starseeker | Indeed |
| 00:25.24 | brlcad | yukonbob: neither |
| 00:26.22 | brlcad | google just announced that they are indeed going to *have* the program again, so lots to think about |
| 00:26.28 | brlcad | starseeker: :) |
| 00:26.49 | brlcad | remember the levels of detail |
| 00:27.09 | starseeker | I looked at the body today, and it's all... curvy |
| 00:27.36 | yukonbob | heh |
| 00:27.44 | brlcad | you have to simplify to the level of important information that captures the rough shape quickly |
| 00:28.12 | brlcad | think of it like a rough draft.. you need the sketch on the back of a napkin sort, refine as time allows |
| 00:28.26 | brlcad | start with the outline |
| 00:28.27 | brlcad | a box |
| 00:28.33 | starseeker | Right |
| 00:28.33 | brlcad | start cutting away |
| 00:28.46 | brlcad | yukonbob: are you interested in being a mentor? |
| 00:28.53 | brlcad | if we participated |
| 00:29.11 | yukonbob | starseeker: speaking of tough, don't know if you saw this when the query was posted some time ago: http://www.friotherm.com/impeller.jpg |
| 00:29.39 | starseeker | Uh... |
| 00:29.41 | brlcad | yeah, that's a great shape |
| 00:29.48 | yukonbob | very@! |
| 00:29.53 | yukonbob | s/@// |
| 00:30.24 | starseeker | It could be approximated with primitives, but I'm not sure how well... |
| 00:31.17 | brlcad | really begs for a birail |
| 00:33.06 | yukonbob | speaking of primitives (and procedures) -- what's the preferred way to implement these things, "ideally"? via C, or is Tcl "just as good"? |
| 00:35.16 | brlcad | it takes 10 seconds to make the box, you can spend the rest of a day refining/replacing the box |
| 00:35.36 | starseeker | Oh, I made the box |
| 00:35.40 | yukonbob | heh |
| 00:35.53 | starseeker | Actually it would be two boxes... |
| 00:35.54 | yukonbob | "imagine this is a 64 1/2 mustang" |
| 00:36.35 | starseeker | Ah, no ;-) |
| 00:56.55 | CIA-32 | BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r30431 10/brlcad/trunk/misc/win32-msvc8/Makefile.am: need breplicator and opennurbs included in the dist |
| 01:23.56 | yukonbob | starseeker: so, is a standard steel wheel, or an aftermarket wheel? |
| 01:24.42 | starseeker | heh - if I were doing the actual model and not faking a real car, it would have to be plastic |
| 01:43.16 | yukonbob | ah -- you're modelling a plastic scale-model of a mustang ;) |
| 01:43.20 | yukonbob | what year, btw? |
| 01:59.03 | starseeker | not sure - guesses range about 67-68 |
| 02:00.22 | louipc | hehe do you remember the video of the impeller being machined? |
| 02:00.55 | starseeker | Yes, that was cool :-) |
| 02:01.35 | louipc | yeah I'd love to get into stuff like that |
| 02:02.06 | starseeker | Isn't that more in the linuxcnc/gcam side of things? |
| 02:02.44 | louipc | yeah I work in cnc |
| 02:03.16 | louipc | but much more basic stuff |
