Daniel Rossberg (Feb 22 2024 at 08:31):Hi @Meet Patel, @Ronan Coutinho, and everybody else who wants to contribute to BRL-CAD, welcome!
You know probably our website https://brlcad.org. The interesting part can be found in the docs (wiki) there: https://brlcad.org/wiki/Main_Page
To familiarize yourself with our software, you should:
Brijendra singh (Feb 26 2024 at 11:03):Hey @Daniel Rossberg @Sean I have gone through the tutorial and cloned the project. I would love to get an overview on source code. Thank you
Daniel Rossberg (Feb 26 2024 at 11:15):The next step would be to compile the programs from the sources.
Brijendra singh (Feb 26 2024 at 16:43):@Daniel Rossberg

Daniel Rossberg (Feb 26 2024 at 18:24):ALL_BUILD isn't something you can start, but you should build it with Visual Studio.

This came during compilation

Read the instructions and build from here https://github.com/BRL-CAD/brlcad/blob/main/doc/README.Windows
Sean (Feb 27 2024 at 18:55):These instructions may also help and walk you through a lot of common mistakes people make: https://brlcad.org/wiki/Compiling

Try tutorial of mged to get started.
Sean (Feb 28 2024 at 15:14):Yeah, try to learn at least enough to make an raytrace a sphere, and maybe try importing and rendering a model you download from the web (e.g., obj, 3dm, or stl import).

Because you are interested in working on the Physically-Based Rendering advanced shaders topic, you could compile brlcad with the art renderer and test it. To do this, you need to install Appleseed and set the corresponding brlcad CMake variables.
Brijendra singh (Feb 28 2024 at 19:38):Understood

Tried making radio will try more :relieved:
Sean (Feb 29 2024 at 15:34):If you got all the way to the radio, that's enough of modeling tutorial. I'd suggest trying to import and render something. You can try the "gcv" command-line tool to convert an stl to g and see if you can ray trace it.

yes sure
Senthil Palanisamy (Mar 02 2024 at 02:50):Hi, I am Senthil Palanisamy. I primarily come from a geometric computer vision background. I have worked for more than 6 years in this area to go along with my masters degree in Robotics from Northwestern. I came across BRL-CAD when I was going through GSoc project. I am very interested in "Neural rendering" project. I read through the paper on "Neural Intersection function" and understood the work fully. Hoping to connect with someone to take this further before submitting the GSoC proposal
Sean (Mar 02 2024 at 16:41):Hello @Senthil Palanisamy and welcome. I'm one of the likely mentors for that project and glad to hear of your interest. I suggest we continue the discussion in a separate stream where we can get into more detail about the project. I'll ping you from the other thread.
Brijendra singh (Mar 08 2024 at 17:16):@Sean Please let me know further steps
Sean (Mar 08 2024 at 17:36):@Brijendra singh were you successful in the previous steps? did you run into issues? next would be to discuss what you learned and then consider what you need to know next about the project you'd intend to propose.

Yes, I faced the problem of running raytracing every time I made any minor changes in the model. The loading steps from the conversion of the file to loading a new model and raytracing it. Also the material not loading
Brijendra singh (Mar 12 2024 at 16:51):Hey @Sean Please let me know about the further insights on project PBR rendering
Grant Taylor (Apr 30 2024 at 13:18):Hi, this may be the wrong place, in which case I apologize, but I'm just starting to get into BRL-CAD. I'm just about to graduate High School, and I thought that it would be something good to learn before I go to college, especially as I want to work for the DOD eventually. I'm decently competent on SoildWORKS, and if I knock the cobwebs off I know how to use AutoCAD as well. If anyone could suggest the best way for me to start learning how to use BRL-CAD, especially the MGED, I would very much appreciate it.
