| 00:29.02 | CIA-5 | BRL-CAD: 03twingy * 10brlcad/src/adrt/ (7 files in 5 dirs): |
| 00:29.02 | CIA-5 | BRL-CAD: * Overall load time for all 8 nodes during startup is 25% faster. |
| 00:29.02 | CIA-5 | BRL-CAD: * File size of adrt mesh is now 33% smaller. It uses shortst when trinum |
| 00:29.02 | CIA-5 | BRL-CAD: of the mesh is under 64K triangles. |
| 00:29.02 | CIA-5 | BRL-CAD: * Prep data to slaves is now multi-threaded (all slaves get data from |
| 00:29.03 | CIA-5 | BRL-CAD: master at the same time, heavy network load). |

| 13:57.08 | prasad_ | Twingy, what's new and improved |
| 13:58.15 | brlcad | if there are fewer than 64k, it uses a short cutting his adrt format by about a third in size |
| 13:58.47 | brlcad | 280MB->200MB kind of savings, not bad |
| 15:18.55 | Maloeran | Though I don't think ram usage would reach 200mb with 64k triangles ;) |
| 15:21.39 | brlcad | that's not memory-- that's on-disk |
| 15:22.06 | brlcad | and it's per object/structure i believe, which can be arbitrary per file |
| 15:22.40 | Semhirage | this software is enormous |
| 15:29.20 | brlcad | lots of functionality after 20 years ;) |
| 15:35.47 | Semhirage | would you be at all offended if i attempted to make a gentoo ebuild for it? |
| 15:36.36 | brlcad | not at all |
| 15:36.43 | brlcad | someone actually started that a while ago |
| 15:37.06 | Semhirage | isn't one in portage that i can see |
| 15:37.11 | brlcad | only since 7.4.0 has it been organized sufficiently for a package system such as portage without modification |
| 15:37.24 | brlcad | go for it ;) |
| 15:37.30 | brlcad | it'd be very much appreciated |
| 15:37.30 | Semhirage | be kinda nice, aren't many cad programs at all for linux and this is one of the better |
| 15:37.45 | Semhirage | not to mention its OSS =D |
| 15:38.27 | Semhirage | i'll definately give it a shot |
| 15:38.31 | brlcad | there are no other open source solid modeling packages |
| 15:38.45 | Semhirage | that is very true |
| 15:39.13 | brlcad | at least that I've heard of that aren't anything more than a student's toy |
| 15:40.23 | brlcad | pythoncad and qcad are close, but they're not solid modelers |
| 15:40.40 | brlcad | blender is the most feature-filled, but it's very far from being a solid modeler |
| 15:41.00 | Semhirage | blender is a mesh modeler, not a solids |
| 15:41.10 | Semhirage | i kind of need both |
| 15:41.25 | brlcad | yeah, we actually use both here ;) |
| 15:41.53 | brlcad | the adrt visualization engine uses meshes/triangles, but brl-cad has limited mesh facilities |
| 15:42.09 | brlcad | we can represent them fully, but editing them is a pita |
| 15:42.17 | Semhirage | i saw mention of that on the website, where do i find more information on adrt ? |
| 15:52.42 | prasad_ | which i will be changing soon enough |
| 15:52.46 | prasad_ | =) |
| 16:06.18 | brlcad | Semhirage: in the src/adrt directory |
| 16:06.37 | Semhirage | ok so it is a plugin/tool for brlcad |
| 16:06.49 | Semhirage | i haven't had much chance to play yet, so i've yet to explore everything |
| 16:08.28 | brlcad | it's a suite of tools |
| 16:08.48 | brlcad | there are various collections of tools of different types, adrt is one of them |
| 16:09.05 | brlcad | tools based around a high-performance triangle intersection library |
| 16:11.15 | Maloeran | Eh, the high-performance part still has room for improvement ;) |
| 16:12.44 | brlcad | there's always room for improvement, but what do you mean? |
| 16:14.16 | Maloeran | BSP based ray-tracing is a minimum storage solution, not necessarily the best solution performance-wise, the scene partitionning is quick but not very clever, there are no SSE optimized paths... |
| 16:14.47 | Maloeran | Ah, I have discussed ray-tracing abundantly with Justin lately |
| 16:29.32 | brlcad | ahh, that's right, you're alexis |
| 16:30.20 | brlcad | i'dd be interested in seeing your improvements :) |
| 16:45.00 | Maloeran | :) I had sent Justin some crude demo, as a quick performance benchmark, though it doesn't show much |
| 16:46.25 | *** join/#brlcad tijl (~51f050ef@bz.bzflag.bz) |
| 16:46.26 | brlcad | using adrt? |
| 16:47.12 | Maloeran | Using my ray-tracer, to compare performance |
| 16:49.28 | brlcad | ah |
| 19:52.22 | CIA-5 | BRL-CAD: 03lbutler * 10brlcad/src/gtools/ (g_qa.1 g_qa.c): results formatting for volume/weight |
| 20:55.26 | prasad_ | yay done with final; 30 mins to spare |
