03:57.39 brlcad Caterpillar: what do you mean?
03:58.23 brlcad wonders if erik ever saw / used http://www.cs.otago.ac.nz/homepages/andrew/papers/g2.pdf
05:18.23 Stragus Solving 6th polynomials, eh
05:21.47 Stragus By the way, I shared some idea about "curved triangles" with Christiaan Gribble (I assume you know him?). He said he would look into it but hasn't followed up, and I think there's some potential
06:43.59 *** join/#brlcad teepee (~teepee@unaffiliated/teepee)
06:45.21 brlcad Stragus: do you remember that indian guy that wanted to sell his curved triangles implementation back at rt06 in utah?
06:48.03 Stragus I don't!
06:48.37 Stragus I assume it's probably a different idea though?...
06:51.20 brlcad don't know if it was exactly the same, wasn't interested in his business attempt -- but only so many ways to curve a triangle, no? :)
06:52.09 Stragus Possibly :), it's a question of what data is stored, how the math is done, and how the ray intersection is done
06:52.37 Stragus I'll forward you by email a short overview I had written for Christiaan
06:53.43 Stragus Sent
06:54.33 Stragus I was mostly wondering if something like this has been done, or if anyone would like to try it
07:00.56 Stragus I mostly like the idea because you could take any regular standard triangle-based geometry, and make it very smooth with little extra storage; the ray intersection test is heavier, but that's less relevant each day
07:55.25 Caterpillar brlcad: I remember brlcad was accepted in last GSOC, wasn't it?

14:36.53 starseeker brlcad: dunno (metaballs paper) but if he did I don't think he ever mentioned it to me - I haven't seen it previously!
14:51.36 brlcad Stragus: I don't have anything from you -- where'd you send it?
14:53.03 brlcad Caterpillar: yes, accepted in the last gsoc and we participated ... and it came to a conclusion about a month ago

15:41.44 brlcad starseeker: fyi, installed static libraries aren't usable -- they're the lto stubs
15:42.11 brlcad nm /usr/brlcad/lib/librt.a for example, notice the lack of any symbols
