| 13:49.22 | ``Erik_ | joeedh: yes. Fire up mged, build your csg, then do 'facetize' on your region or comb and it should produce a new mesh with the csg evaluated |
| 13:50.05 | joeedh | does it tesselate the geometry? if so, can you make it not do so? |
| 13:50.22 | ``Erik_ | facetize is the command to tesselate |
| 13:51.07 | joeedh | hrm. thanks. |
| 13:51.24 | ``Erik_ | for 'real' (non-triangular) geometry, we do the CSG evaluation at raytrace time |
| 13:52.22 | ``Erik_ | I believe that facetize on a csg tree of meshes will attempt to use the original triangle data unless it doens't make sense (like where the triangles are cut) |
| 13:52.33 | joeedh | oh ok. |
| 13:52.49 | ``Erik_ | of course, if you try to tesselate a mesh, it should just give you that same mesh back... :) |
| 13:53.17 | joeedh | ah well I really meant "triangulate" in this context, my bad. |
| 13:54.06 | ``Erik_ | hm, usually, meshes are considered to be of triangles... in OpenGL and DirectX, if you ask for a quad, it'll actually make you a tristrip or trifan |
| 13:54.42 | joeedh | of course. |
| 13:55.12 | joeedh | but you can still often have polygons in a lot of structures, they just tesselate to triangles as necassary. |
| 13:55.19 | joeedh | ah arbritary polygons I mean |
| 13:55.31 | joeedh | arbitrary* I think is the right spelling |
| 13:56.04 | ``Erik_ | yeah, quad was just a specific example :) it's been a while since I've been in the guts of OGL, but back then a 500 sided polygon would still be reduced to triangles as soon as it was seen |
| 13:56.46 | joeedh | yeah, it uses a triangle fan usually. opengl isn't really smart about tesselation properly, though i think there are better functions in glu. |
| 13:57.04 | ``Erik_ | and, uh, 12 years ago, the cpu used to generate all those coplanar triangles wasn't worth it, so it used to be a speed boost to just use tristrip/trifan or VAR's were fashionable at the time |
| 13:57.30 | joeedh | interesting. |
| 13:58.23 | ``Erik_ | BRL-CAD's interactive display is wireframe with meshes getting every edge drawn, so jump in and experiment, there's useful visual feedback :) if you're looking for code stuff, the meshes are handled by src/librt/primitives/nmg/ |
| 13:59.03 | joeedh | oh thanks. yeah I was just wondering if we could someday use brl-cad's csg code in blender. |
| 13:59.46 | ``Erik_ | ahh, heh, we actually have some .py scripts to talk to blender for certain things :) |
| 14:00.00 | joeedh | really? what sort of scripts? that's interesting. |
| 14:00.21 | ``Erik_ | lemme find a screenie of something |
| 14:00.56 | ``Erik_ | http://brlcad.org/gallery/s/renderings/stryker_slat.jpg.html |
| 14:01.20 | ``Erik_ | the vehicle was created in BRL-CAD, the flora in blender, and it was rendered using the ADRT/RISE system stashed in BRL-CAD |
| 14:02.00 | joeedh | that's cool |
| 14:02.43 | ``Erik_ | there's also a rendering of a glass cornelius somewhere, and one of the former BRL-CAD developers donated his NURBS code to blender iirc |
| 14:02.45 | joeedh | I heard brl-cad uses a radial-edge brep for some things? |
| 14:03.11 | ``Erik_ | uhm, I don't know, brlcad would be the guy to talk to, hwen he wakes up |
| 14:03.33 | ``Erik_ | I know there're a couple brep primitives, one is old and sucky, and the other is in progress and uses openNURBS |
| 14:04.49 | ``Erik_ | (frankly, I don't even know what "radial edge brep" means) |
| 14:05.15 | joeedh | it's the original non-manifold boundary representation. |
| 14:05.41 | ``Erik_ | *shrug* sorry, I don't know :) |
| 14:06.22 | joeedh | it's not widely known. it's actually fairly difficult to get your hands on a paper about it, even. |
