| 20:42.19 | *** topic/#brlcad by brlcad -> BRL-CAD Open Source Solid Modeling || http://brlcad.org || http://sf.net/projects/brlcad || BRL-CAD is on scan.coverity.com but not completely set up yet, more news TBD || Release 7.10.4 is happening now |
| 20:42.29 | poolio__ | Cheers :) |
| 20:43.07 | brlcad | poolio__: beset is actually listed in this release, but haven't made the bigger announcement yet -- waiting till 7.12 |
| 20:44.07 | ``Erik | what are the triggers for 7.12.0? endgame, archer and bombadier? |
| 20:44.53 | brlcad | the triggers are usually either a major new feature in itself, or the accummulation of major features since the previous minor rev |
| 20:45.24 | brlcad | endgame wouldn't likely be a trigger |
| 20:45.39 | ``Erik | I meant those as a boolean expression |
| 20:45.56 | brlcad | maybe bombardier if it has automatic crash reporting with a gui and several apps with signal handlers |
| 20:45.58 | ``Erik | and when ya get close to it, usually ya pick the actual things to trip it... :D |
| 20:46.02 | poolio__ | brlcad: errr why is beset even listed? |
| 20:46.32 | brlcad | because it's in the release |
| 20:46.33 | ``Erik | to embarrass you, ben :D |
| 20:46.42 | brlcad | it will compile and be installed |
| 20:46.44 | poolio__ | what the christ. |
| 20:46.49 | brlcad | and be on thousands of people's machines |
| 20:46.53 | ``Erik | it's important for porters |
| 20:46.58 | brlcad | whether they know it or use it is another matter.. ;) |
| 20:47.04 | ``Erik | some of us need to manage lists of installed files |
| 20:47.34 | brlcad | poolio__: it's effectively zero-maintenance, and might even inspire someone else to pick up where you left off |
| 20:47.57 | poolio__ | Alrighty. Just seems like it won't be too useful to anyone, except maybe some code examples. |
| 20:48.11 | brlcad | that's why it's not "announced" .. just in the feature list |
| 20:48.12 | poolio__ | I guess I should be saying thanks and stop whining :) |
| 20:48.28 | brlcad | any "user-visible" change is supposed to be listed in the NEWS file with a 1-liner |
| 20:48.51 | brlcad | that certainly qualifies as 'user visible' given it will compile and be installed |
| 20:49.52 | poolio__ | How often do you guys do releases? Wasn't it supposed to be monthly? |
| 20:50.09 | ``Erik | it was, but politics intervened. |
| 20:50.17 | brlcad | yeah, supposed to be .. but this is a "major integration" release |

| 22:34.46 | brlcad | hm, for creating the basic geometry, sure |
| 22:34.54 | brlcad | but for creating the CNC code, no not really |
| 22:35.02 | brlcad | for that, maybe something like gcam |
| 22:35.25 | Darkwell | ok |
| 22:36.06 | Darkwell | but arent there tools I can use to convert to gcodes etc |
| 22:36.21 | brlcad | brl-cad is a solid modeling system, so the models can generally work very well for machining when modeled correctly, but there's presently not a g-code exporter or drivers for any particular cnc device, just simple stl and dxf exporters (among other formats) |
| 22:36.45 | brlcad | sure, there are some .. can't vouch for their quality .. and they'renot a part of brl-cad |
| 22:36.46 | Darkwell | ok |
| 22:36.56 | Darkwell | I am not familiar with those stuff yet |
| 22:37.19 | Darkwell | I am planning to famliliarize with programs and tools for future educations |
| 22:37.35 | Darkwell | I don't want to waste ,my time in trying to figure how programs work |
| 22:39.05 | brlcad | there is a diagram on the website that sort of shows the CAD markets that brl-cad is currently best-suited towards |
| 22:39.22 | brlcad | http://ftp.brlcad.org/Industry_Diagram.png |
| 22:39.27 | starseeker | aha - OK portage, what were you complaining about... |
| 22:39.30 | Darkwell | ok thank you |
| 22:40.06 | brlcad | Darkwell: as the diagram (hopefully) shows you, we are heavy into the CAE aspects of CAD, and only partially overlap into CADD and MCAD domains |
| 22:40.25 | brlcad | that overlaps basically amounts to our general solid modeling and data representation support as well as rendering and visualization |
| 22:40.54 | Darkwell | ok |
| 22:41.02 | Darkwell | that isnt bad at all |
| 22:41.15 | brlcad | validation of models, CSG support, supporting analysis and development |
| 22:41.31 | Darkwell | if I get this right , it means I can draw objects in brlcad to see what tthey would look like |
| 22:41.45 | brlcad | but not really much support for direct ties into manufacturing and design processes, especially concept work |
| 22:41.55 | brlcad | yeah, sure |
| 22:41.58 | Darkwell | ok |
| 22:42.11 | starseeker | showshot.c:98: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function strcpy |
| 22:42.29 | starseeker | showshot.c:122: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function strlen |
| 22:42.34 | brlcad | but not easily using a 2D drafting, ala AutoCAD (it encompases the CADD domain) .. you'd be using 3D methods |
| 22:42.48 | starseeker | coswin.c:104: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function malloc |
| 22:42.57 | brlcad | starseeker: just missing #include <string.h> |
| 22:43.05 | starseeker | Ah, OK |
| 22:43.28 | Darkwell | ok |
| 22:43.37 | Darkwell | so its 3d |
| 22:43.44 | brlcad | oh yeah |
| 22:43.47 | brlcad | 3d solid modeling |
| 22:44.21 | brlcad | akin to the catia, unigraphics, pro/e markets, but with much much MUCH smaller development budget ;) |
| 22:44.51 | Darkwell | ok |
| 22:45.07 | brlcad | here's a screenshot: http://brlcad.org/images/mged.jpg |
| 22:45.45 | Darkwell | looks like some kind of raytracer |
| 22:45.53 | brlcad | basic (big) tutorial on learning the modeler: http://ftp.brlcad.org/VolumeII-Introduction_to_MGED.pdf |
| 22:46.17 | brlcad | examples of some brl-cad models generated: http://sourceforge.net/project/screenshots.php?group_id=105292 |
| 22:47.14 | Darkwell | hmm |
| 22:47.36 | Darkwell | interesting |
| 22:48.07 | Darkwell | I think understand what you mean now |
| 22:48.12 | brlcad | brl-cad has one of the very first ray-tracers ever written |
| 22:48.23 | brlcad | the package is more than 20 years under active development |
| 22:48.42 | Z80-Boy | brlcad: oldskool! |
| 22:48.43 | Darkwell | so its not really used for design and bluepringint of stuff I want to produce ? |
| 22:49.09 | Z80-Boy | Darkwell: do you work in an architecture bureau? |
| 22:49.15 | Darkwell | wrote a raytracer once in amige 500 :) |
| 22:49.19 | brlcad | we went open source about 2.5 years ago, so we're just getting ramped up as OSS to make it more usable |
| 22:49.34 | Darkwell | ok |
| 22:49.55 | brlcad | Darkwell: brl-cad's was the *first* distributed/parallel raytracer (back in '83 iirc) |
| 22:50.21 | Darkwell | Z80-Boy: no I am not, still I need cad cam stuff to be able to design objects that I am going to build |
| 22:50.35 | Z80-Boy | brlcad: did it run on Cray? |
| 22:50.41 | brlcad | Darkwell: and to answer your question, no -- not strongly suited to design and blueprints, though that is an area actively being worked on to support |
| 22:50.41 | Darkwell | and I am soon going to get an education learning to handla cnc machines welding etc |
| 22:50.59 | Darkwell | then I want to master the computer tools already |
| 22:51.03 | brlcad | there is some support for it via hidden line renderings, but sans dimensioning: e.g. http://brlcad.org/images/havoc_rtedge.png |
| 22:51.13 | Z80-Boy | Darkwell: do you do it commercially or hobby? |
| 22:51.38 | Darkwell | both |
| 22:51.55 | Darkwell | iöll work as a tool maker when finished the education |
| 22:52.14 | Darkwell | as of now I am just a handyman |
| 22:52.15 | Darkwell | ll |
| 22:52.17 | Darkwell | lol |
| 22:52.37 | Darkwell | well I think brlcad looks nice |
| 22:53.35 | Darkwell | let me check what the proper english name for the job is |
| 22:56.51 | Z80-Boy | How do I make rtxray produce white background instead of black? |
| 22:56.57 | Z80-Boy | An xray doesn't look like this |
| 22:59.22 | brlcad | -W |
| 23:00.26 | Z80-Boy | It's not written in the output of rtxray without parameters |
| 23:01.18 | Z80-Boy | And it doesn't work |
| 23:01.22 | Z80-Boy | As if it weren't there |
| 23:07.08 | Z80-Boy | brlcad: -w also doesn't work |
| 23:07.14 | Z80-Boy | refuses to start |
| 23:07.44 | brlcad | <PROTECTED> |
| 23:08.24 | Z80-Boy | Giving negative -A also doesn't help |
| 23:08.27 | Z80-Boy | just produces white |
| 23:08.50 | Z80-Boy | but otherwise it looks cool |
| 23:09.07 | Z80-Boy | going to sleep night |
| 23:14.53 | ``Erik | wow, a new shock site, and this one is... brutal |
| 23:15.48 | Darkwell | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tool_and_die_maker <---- think I was right about the english name anyways |
| 23:38.38 | Darkwell | hmm gcam wasnt treally useful |
| 23:38.55 | Darkwell | several bugs in the windows build |
| 23:40.08 | louipc | report them! |
| 23:41.37 | ``Erik | yeah, how can twingy fix them if he doesn't have people telling him where the problems are? last I heard, he was mostly fbsd |
