01:50.13 dreeves brlcad starseekerI think I'm going to have to troubleshoot the surface subdivision algorithm in the bvh stuff because it is what was causing the problems with dented sphere, rebuilt sphere, etc.. however I can't just turn it off because it is used for the initial guess.
01:51.29 dreeves I mean to say I'm going to have to do that before moving on to the bigger geometries because I'm seeing similar issues that I saw with the less complex geometries
01:52.55 dreeves also probably need to go ahead and get the more generalized trimming stuff working because on larger trim curves my approximations may not be sufficient
02:03.05 starseeker dreeves: sounds good
02:03.32 starseeker the larger examples aren't of serious interest until we can handle the simper cases - they are intended as "stress tests"
02:07.34 dreeves yeah starseeker I think we are pretty close to handling the simpler cases ok now except for the distorted sphere fine (but I'm not sure about that one period) I think if physically make those examples bigger the raytracer will start showing the problems again
02:09.20 dreeves I think we have to generalize for the simpler cases and make it alot more robust before tackling the more complex examples I was wanting to wait but I think I'm seeing the problem with that approach so I will have to take a step back
02:09.23 brlcad gets a nifty response from the openusability folks
02:09.50 brlcad starseeker: were you interested in that? (did you see my messages on friday?)
02:10.22 brlcad dreeves: hmm, pulling it back to some of the more basic aspects of the problem... that sounds very familiar :-)
02:13.30 starseeker brlcad: I did see that, but my thought on it is that we're not quite ready for usability work yet...
02:14.26 brlcad there's many places and many ways where usability can be improved
02:14.30 brlcad we're not just talking about mged
02:14.34 starseeker ah
02:14.38 brlcad though even mged could use some basic attention
02:14.44 brlcad or archer for that matter
02:14.45 starseeker would the others generate interest?
02:14.55 starseeker isn't familiar with openusability... googles...
02:15.14 brlcad wouldn't it be nice if someone specifically paying attention to usability sorted out exactly how the menu system should be arranged?
02:15.32 starseeker yes, it would be
02:15.36 brlcad or basic key bindings for that matter
02:15.42 brlcad or information panels
02:15.45 brlcad or command line options
02:15.45 starseeker what are the mentoring requirements?
02:15.57 dreeves Well the 2 basic issues right now are 1) the approximation of the trim curve right now it is hardwired for 100 segments. On a smaller curve that means a segment may represent something like 0.03 or less in length but on a larger curve that may represent some like 5 or xxx in length which obviously that gets to be a problem. I just need to get away from the approximation approach altogether. The second issue is the subdividing the surface and surroundi
02:15.57 dreeves ng the segment of surface with a bounding box and the current algorithm grows by some small percentage to account for curving near the edges well on smaller geometry that fudging maybe sufficient but on larger geometries that fudging is not near enough
02:16.19 starseeker figures key bindings will need to be configurable to Solidworks/Pro-E/Unigraphics to allow work flows to be preserved
02:16.44 brlcad sure, that might be one thing -- but what should our defaults be?
02:16.53 starseeker nods
02:17.09 starseeker yeah, that sounds good - I take it you got a positive response?
02:17.48 brlcad I certainly have my notions and background in usability and biases towards tools I've learned, but that's still different from specifically and intently sitting down as a project and sorting out what those defaults should be -- takes time
02:18.55 brlcad unknown about whether we can participate this year, but that's not even really the main focus I think -- just getting ourselves aligned to be thinking more about usability and prepared to mentor such projects will be good
02:19.03 brlcad so even if we can't participate this year, perhaps next year
02:19.30 starseeker sure
02:19.39 starseeker what specifically do you need me to do?
02:19.46 starseeker scrolls back...
02:19.48 dreeves I think once we have generalized those 2 issues we can handle the bigger and more complex geometries
02:19.48 brlcad the mentoring requirements are more towards being the experts in our domain (CAD, solid modeling) so that we can have a useful dialog
02:20.03 starseeker dreeves: sounds good
02:20.30 brlcad as they are students that likely have no background in our area or even necessarily software design for that matter -- they get students that focus specifically on usability
02:20.48 dreeves so I'm not really pulling back just going back and generalizing the stuff I have hardwired up to this point
02:21.20 brlcad dreeves: it was tounge-in-cheek, not critique :)
02:21.43 dreeves Oh you didn't offend me and I definitely took it that way
02:21.56 brlcad generalizing what's in place is a form of "going back", and going back is the approach I'd started down on a while back
02:22.18 starseeker brlcad: yeah, I'd certainly be willing to work as mentor on a project like that
02:22.58 brlcad starseeker: great, I figured you would be
02:23.00 dreeves Yeah the main reason for what I wrote is mainly if anyone else wanted to work on this more than anything I just want people to know what needs to be worked
02:23.31 dreeves i.e. starseeker
02:23.48 dreeves and I know there are a couple of people looking at things
02:23.50 starseeker dreeves: I'm going to be attacking from the "need debugging/analysis capabilities" side, which should be orthogonal to the thrust of your work
02:23.53 dreeves associated with brep
02:24.05 dreeves coole
02:24.07 dreeves cool
02:24.49 brlcad woot! looks like my rt_mirror() change works...
02:24.51 brlcad why does bob have to make it so complicated sometimes :)
02:24.54 starseeker once we get to more complex geometries, we're likely to hit test cases where it's really hard to get a minimal case (possibly even problems specifically caused by a case being complex)
02:25.05 starseeker brlcad: lol!
02:25.13 starseeker has wondered this...
02:25.53 dreeves Did that other person ever respond what they were doing with curvature the other day?
02:26.03 brlcad seriously, he had the math doing flips because he wanted to specify a point (sure) and a direction (okay) .. and a distance down that vector (um)
02:26.20 brlcad and then tracking that distance all the way through to librt to the primitives themselves for a couple of them
02:26.36 starseeker winces
02:26.37 brlcad I mean really.. just move the point
02:27.06 dreeves :)
02:27.19 brlcad now the trick will be to rewire all the primitives to actually use a plane_t instead of a point+dir
02:28.45 dreeves ok so he wasn't really trouble shooting a perceived problem with opennurbs
02:28.53 brlcad which is a nice compact plane equation -- a vector and a distance, 4 values -- but changes things .. probably just derive the point and dir
02:29.09 starseeker nods
02:29.32 starseeker dreeves: no, Bob is doing libged (prime mover thereof, actually)
02:30.13 dreeves ok I'm talking about something else
02:30.46 starseeker heh - welcome to irc - multi-threading conversations
02:31.04 dreeves yeah I'm learning I'm new to irc
02:32.33 dreeves it is basically chatting and I have done plenty of that but usually one on one
02:33.28 brlcad dreeves: they (jonored) was working on implementing the curve() callback
02:34.48 brlcad he'd noticed that the normal was being filled in during shot(), so norm() perhaps can stay pretty simple (need to verify what others are doing) .. but that still leaves curve()
02:36.03 brlcad briefly mentioned on the 17th if you have logs
02:38.23 starseeker ~logs
02:38.23 ibot All conversations are logged to http://ibot.rikers.org/channel, where "channel" is replaced by the URL-encoded channel name, such as %23freenode for #freenode. Lines starting with spaces are not logged.
02:39.28 brlcad really need to get website irc log integration with drupal working so we can search our own content
02:41.03 brlcad even a cron job that snatches from ibot and adds to cms would be better
02:56.18 dreeves ok the website with the logs is neat
02:57.49 *** join/#brlcad IriX64 (n=IriX64@bas2-sudbury98-1177593646.dsl.bell.ca)
02:58.00 dreeves btw shot isn't calculating the normal it is being calculated from what is returned from opennurbs in the intersect function
03:03.49 brlcad er, but that happens during shot() right? :)
03:04.09 dreeves yeah if you mean it is being called from shot?
03:04.18 dreeves which it is
03:05.05 brlcad right, that's all that mattered
03:05.11 dreeves oh ok
03:05.21 brlcad it's filling in the hit_normal
03:05.28 brlcad normally shot isn't responsible for doing that
03:05.36 dreeves obviously I didn't understand something
03:05.45 dreeves ah ok
03:06.41 dreeves makes since then
03:06.46 brlcad also normal != curvature, don't know if you were thinking that or not
03:07.26 dreeves no I know that
03:07.57 brlcad k
03:08.12 dreeves goes back to look at exactly what is being returned
03:10.52 brlcad probably shouldn't be filling in hit_normal the more I think about it
03:11.01 brlcad at least, norm() really shouldn't be empty
03:11.21 brlcad I think what some of the other primtivies do that have the information calculated early is to stash it into vpriv
03:11.37 dreeves actually it is returning the derivative in both s and t and normal is being calculated from that
03:12.04 brlcad yeah, then probably shouldn't do that .. just stash the derivs
03:12.12 brlcad then norm() can do the final calculation
03:13.25 dreeves ok in the next round of clean up I can do that unless the other person is working on that. Don't want to step on what they are doing.
03:16.28 dreeves I'm definitely ready to harden what we have now vs keep tweeking/hacking to make work with the different geometries. I think that is what is required to take the next big step. What do you think?
03:18.32 dreeves you know since I went back to utah's combination of tolerances I haven't had to touch them again. Of course that is with this test geometry that is all roughly the same overall size
03:23.19 brlcad dreeves: yeah, I'd just let them work on that part -- it's not exactly busted as it is
03:23.37 brlcad it's much lower-hanging fruit (norm() at least, curve() could be interesting)
03:24.27 brlcad if I remember utah's paper, all of their geometry was pretty small :)
03:24.48 brlcad elaine mentioned that it wasn't very robust.. :)
03:27.14 *** join/#brlcad BigAToo (n=BigAToo@pool-96-230-124-244.sbndin.btas.verizon.net)
03:28.19 brlcad of course it was a pretty general comment at the time, but hinted at their specific effort
03:28.41 dreeves Yeah it would be good to have the test geometry scaled up
03:29.27 dreeves do you know where nurbs_tests.g came from?
03:33.19 brlcad yes
03:33.20 CIA-28 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r34262 10/brlcad/trunk/include/vmath.h: note that unlike much of the rest of vmath.h, the input and output vectors cannot be the same since it's a macro and the values aren't stored/copied for efficiency.
03:33.31 dreeves I'm currently raytracing the perfume bottle from the opennurbs example data it is relatively pretty large compared to the test geometry I'm seeing issues but not sure which is the problem. tolerances or the subdivision or maybe even trimming
03:33.58 brlcad they were created in rhino
03:34.40 dreeves yes
03:34.49 dreeves oh the nurbs_test was?
03:34.54 brlcad yes
03:35.05 brlcad those objects were all directly created in rhino
03:35.11 dreeves oh ok
03:35.32 dreeves can you get trial versions of rhino?
03:35.48 dreeves will have to investigate that
03:35.51 brlcad since we actually use rhino's format (3dm) as our serialized object data, it just imports directly
03:37.16 brlcad they do have evaluation copies
03:38.02 dreeves I may have to grab it create some more test geometry
03:38.03 brlcad the only limitation is that they've forever been windows-only
03:38.36 dreeves that is fine I have a windows laptop to
03:38.38 brlcad that's something we could probably do pretty easily
03:39.02 brlcad more exhaustive test geometry
03:39.03 dreeves I wouldn't mind if someone else wanted to do that
03:39.34 brlcad yeah, that should be pretty simple
03:39.49 dreeves Yeah same geometries scaled up and make additional geometries that make use of all the different types of curves and use of the planar surface
03:39.51 brlcad I can see if I can get my seat set up tomorrow
03:40.00 dreeves awesome
03:40.08 dreeves that will save me significant time
03:40.20 dreeves since I have no clue how to use rhino
03:40.24 brlcad the only problem with the different curve types is that rhino doesn't expose much of that through the gui
03:40.41 brlcad they simplify it way down and do things automagically as they see fit
03:41.05 brlcad but shouldn't be too hard to try to coerce a few trimming types
03:41.29 dreeves yeah I figured as much
03:41.54 dreeves really that is probably the way it should be but would be nice if they had an expert mode where you could limit that
03:42.51 CIA-28 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r34263 10/brlcad/trunk/ (3 files in 3 dirs):
03:42.52 CIA-28 BRL-CAD: remove the mirror_pt 'distance' parameter from rt_mirror() as it just
03:42.52 CIA-28 BRL-CAD: unnecessarily complicates the interface. point+dir are sufficient. testing
03:42.52 CIA-28 BRL-CAD: seems to indicate no change in functionality so hopefully we're 'good to go'
03:43.25 dreeves yeah d2 is difficult to get anything useful from it other ability to scale
03:43.46 CIA-28 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r34264 10/brlcad/trunk/include/vmath.h: vectors, not points
03:44.13 dreeves obviously we want in the end to be able to handle that one but I think there probably is a couple more test cases that need to be worked before we tackle that one
03:48.11 brlcad thinks the recent effort and successes warrant a posting
03:48.27 dreeves ok one more request on the test geometry one object that has some large components with small components attached i.e. with the attached i.e. some like an ellipsoid with blended tubes attached such that the tubes are wider at the bottom and get more narrow as they go up but not a cone
03:50.37 dreeves almost like one of those balls that have the little rubber spines attached all over it (except the test geometry can just have maybe less than 10 attached at random places)
03:52.01 brlcad one kush ball coming up :)
03:52.43 dreeves thanks

04:18.03 starseeker doesn't have a clue how to use it either, but sufficient random clicking should produce some thing

13:10.16 starseeker that's the part that concerns me the most - Oracle isn't a very visible player in the open source sphere

18:04.21 hippieindamakin8 pacman87, cant u just remap the keys on the server ?
18:04.47 pacman87 how? i tried messing with inputrc, but couldn't find any docs on the command syntax
18:06.34 hippieindamakin8 i forgot the file .. let me check i had to modify it when installing this OS
18:08.22 pacman87 thanks
18:10.22 hippieindamakin8 pacman87, it is .xmodmap

18:54.04 brlcad well, want to thank all of the applicants beforehand regardless of the results
18:54.19 hippieindamakin8 :)
18:54.58 brlcad in the end, it was pretty tough decision for several applicants that were all pretty competitive with each other
18:55.40 brlcad I know it's certainly starts out as a summer job since you have to put food in the mouth, but open source is about volunteerism
18:56.21 brlcad hope everyone continues to stay involved and contribute, regardless of the selections
18:56.30 hippieindamakin8 sure
19:06.43 Ralith pacman87: try "\e[18~":"\e[5~"
19:07.46 Ralith those look like POSIX escape sequences, so sending one to the terminal might work as desired.

19:31.11 madant hippieindamakin8: all the best for ur exams dude..
19:31.12 brlcad is inclined to separate it from the brlcad.org domain altogether to let it have self-identity
19:31.16 d-lo starseeker: 3.14 geometryburgers = 0.125 metric ass tonnes.
