The top ten folks completed nearly 200 tasks together.

Mitesh (Jan 19 2018 at 03:53):

is that good?

Sean (Jan 19 2018 at 03:55):

yeah, that's pretty great

Sean (Jan 19 2018 at 03:59):

@Mitesh what was your favorite task?

Mitesh (Jan 19 2018 at 04:00):

The complete appleseed set and modelling the knight...really learnt alot and enjoyed doing them.Also designing 404 page was nice.

Mitesh (Jan 19 2018 at 04:02):

Infact appleseed has completely gained my attention... I want to complete 5th one but facing some issues...

Sean (Jan 19 2018 at 04:04):

tell me about them

Mitesh (Jan 19 2018 at 04:20):

In rt shootray example we have int main()...but in the sphereobject we have plugin...so i copied the rtexample in the sphere object... for int main() i declared other function called rtshoot()...and intialised argc=3 and replaced argv[1]="sphere.g" and argv[2]="sph"....i called this function in intersect() of plugin. When i build it..it builds successfully but when i open sphereobject.applestudio it shows error: while defining sphere ....I have added bin folder of brlcad to the system environment variable and also place blrcad.dll...but still the problem exists...

When I checked line by line I found that whenever i include "rtip=rt_dirbuild("sphere.g", title, sizeof(title));" function it shows this error...

Sean (Jan 19 2018 at 04:36):

so something you might not know, but that task is to set up a plugin and in plugins you don't have a main()

Sean (Jan 19 2018 at 04:37):

they're libraries that get loaded, functions are loaded from that library from some other program/library, and then they're run by that program/library (appleseed-gui in this case)

Sean (Jan 19 2018 at 04:38):

so what I suggest is you first remove all of the brl-cad code you added, and get it to work simple first

Sean (Jan 19 2018 at 04:38):

try printing a hello message to confirm that the plugin is indeed loaded

Sean (Jan 19 2018 at 04:39):

and to make sure you set it up in the build correctly

Sean (Jan 19 2018 at 04:46):

@Mitesh if you want to keep working on that project, I'll gladly help you -- that's a critically needed feature

Jeff Sieu (Jan 19 2018 at 06:38):

@Mitesh @Sean Actually, why not I send over my version of the plugin? That way we'll be able to work on it together without essentially creating duplicates.

Sean (Jan 19 2018 at 07:03):

@Jeff Sieu is it different from your last gci upload? sounds like a good idea!

Jeff Sieu (Jan 19 2018 at 07:53):

It may not be too, too different, but I'll upload it anyway, with slightly better run instructions.

Congrats to everyone who's in the top 10 :heart:️:heart:️
