| 14:22.37 | balder_ | hey! where can I get the demo for online geometry viewer? |
| 14:35.20 | brlcad | hey balder_ |
| 14:36.26 | balder_ | yes! |
| 14:37.28 | brlcad | the code is on github and you can get a tarball here: https://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/project/details/google/gsoc2014/ishwerdas/5657382461898752 |
| 14:38.19 | brlcad | balder_: did you get your other questions answered? |
| 14:40.05 | balder_ | well I have some! |
| 14:40.54 | brlcad | I know you asked several, but you've not stayed on IRC to get a response |
| 14:41.16 | brlcad | if you're going to ask questions here, you should be prepared to stay connected until there is an answer |
| 14:41.29 | brlcad | which can be many hours later due to timezones and such |
| 14:42.02 | balder_ | ok!! Sure!! |
| 14:42.05 | brlcad | I recommend getting a real IRC client and reading the usage etiquette guidelines instead of the freenode web interface |
| 14:42.43 | brlcad | http://brlcad.org/wiki/IRC has a link to an IRC client list |
| 14:43.27 | balder_ | oh sure! Thanks for this advice! I will sure use one! Here's my question : why is there a need for 3d display manager when we have this crossplatform online viewer?? Is this not sufficient? |
| 14:44.29 | brlcad | 1) the online viewer is still in a prototype-stage of development |
| 14:44.56 | brlcad | 2) it's limited to viewing (intentionally, editing is incredibly complicated to get into online) |
| 14:45.16 | brlcad | 3) it will unlikely scale to real production models (that are often 2-20GB in size) |
| 14:45.40 | brlcad | so while not sufficient, it certainly has an entire range of tasks it could handle |
| 14:46.03 | brlcad | and the interface will continue to be expanded and as it mature, we can hone in on productive uses |
| 14:46.10 | brlcad | s/mature/matures/ |
| 14:48.46 | brlcad | make sense? |

| 15:19.56 | balder_ | hey! why brlcad is not support interactive 3d rendering? Is this because we are not able to exploit gpu?? |
| 15:20.11 | balder_ | *supporting!! |
| 15:20.36 | brlcad | balder_: that's a complicated topic that involves talking about geometry representation formats |
| 15:20.48 | brlcad | and has nothing to do with being able to exploit gpu |
| 15:21.10 | brlcad | with implicit geometry and csg operations, there is no explicit boundary surface |
| 15:22.02 | brlcad | so one has to evaluate the surface/geometry ... and either evaluate points (e.g., via interactive ray tracing) or via format conversion (e.g., to polygons) |
| 15:22.23 | brlcad | we have experimental versions of both |
| 15:22.52 | brlcad | if you have explicit geometry (e.g., triangle mesh geometry), you can view it interactively now |
| 15:23.17 | balder_ | ok.. |
| 15:23.54 | brlcad | I also answered this question on the mailing list, so I'm guessing you still don't understand? :) |
| 15:26.05 | balder_ | uhh! yeah I got the point that .g files need to be coverted to formats which supports triangle meshes, to make it possible for 3d rendering. (correct me if i am wrong :)) |
| 15:27.00 | brlcad | this is not accurate |
| 15:27.42 | kintel | brlcad: Hey, are you guys doing gsoc this year? |
| 15:28.16 | brlcad | they only need to be converted to triangle meshes if you want to interactively visualize with a method that requires triangle meshes (e.g., OpenGL) |
| 15:28.43 | brlcad | you can ray trace interactively without conversion |
| 15:29.01 | brlcad | kintel: not yet decided but a discussion I wanted to have with you later this week |
| 15:29.25 | kintel | brlcad: Sounds good - |
| 15:29.41 | kintel | brlcad: ..or catch teepee if Iâm not around |
| 15:30.17 | teepee- | has some technical problems though due to the tor gateway being down :( |
| 15:38.11 | brlcad | balder_: the "rtgl" I mentioned is an example of an interactive ray tracing shaded display approach that is in brl-cad now but not production-ready |
| 15:39.38 | brlcad | balder_: adrt is another method (using high-performance triangle ray tracing) used for visualization |
| 15:40.14 | brlcad | balder_: and there are other experimental methods involving conversion to triangles that I mentioned on the mailing list (E, ev, draw -m1) |
| 15:40.27 | balder_ | ok! I need you to tell me more about the approach used in rtgl! |
| 15:40.57 | brlcad | that's an open-ended question |
| 15:41.16 | brlcad | you should research the code reference I gave you and ask a specific question |
| 15:41.38 | brlcad | otherwise, I could talk all day and maybe not provide helpful information, maybe waste both our time |
