| 00:13.24 | starseeker | uploads more screenshots |
| 02:26.41 | yukonbob | starseeker: are both those models yours? |
| 02:27.01 | starseeker | I did them as part of my training |
| 02:28.13 | yukonbob | nice.. |
| 02:30.14 | yukonbob | pen is using pipes for the "plastic" body and the "metal" end where the ball point is hidden? |
| 02:35.42 | starseeker | no, although that's probably a good idea |
| 02:36.00 | starseeker | I thought about redoing the pen body with pipes, but have been working on other things |
| 02:36.53 | starseeker | Pen was the first thing I really modeled, so I wasn't up on pipes yet ;-) |
| 02:37.39 | yukonbob | so what did you use? I'm just looking at it and trying to reverse engineer your work :) |
| 02:38.24 | starseeker | Ah :-). I think it was an eto at the very tip of the pen, a trc for the remainder of the "cap", an epa for the tapering tip, and then a cylinder when it got straighter |
| 02:39.53 | starseeker | since it's a glass render, you can see the discontinuity where it switches from the epa to the rcc |
| 02:40.11 | starseeker | I'm not sure, but pipe might be able to do a significantly better job of it |
| 02:40.39 | starseeker | That's cool you thought of trying pipe too :-) |
| 02:43.59 | yukonbob | it's a nice looking render even as is, though |
| 02:44.23 | starseeker | thanks :-) |
| 02:45.09 | starseeker | that one has more visual bang for the buck than the wheel, but the wheel was where I finally got the pattern tool to do something useful |
| 02:45.40 | starseeker | Heh - people seem to like that openmoko import screenshot |
| 02:46.53 | yukonbob | not surprising, considering it looks so "techy" :) |
| 02:47.25 | starseeker | should have put up wireframe screenshots of cassini instead of renders ;-) |
| 02:47.38 | yukonbob | re: pattern tool -- /me will have to look that up; How did you use it on that wheel? |
| 02:48.17 | starseeker | pattern tool may not be the best way to do what I did - you see the divots around the edge of the wheel? |
| 02:48.36 | yukonbob | on the tire? |
| 02:48.39 | starseeker | yes |
| 02:48.42 | yukonbob | like syping? |
| 02:48.44 | yukonbob | ya. |
| 02:49.07 | starseeker | those were done by placing one shape in the "right" place on the rim, and then patterning it around |
| 02:50.04 | yukonbob | ah.... /me would use a script to do that (Tcl)... but I haven't tried the pattern tool -- it might be the way to go... |
| 02:50.15 | starseeker | clone would probably be the right way |
| 02:50.36 | starseeker | the pattern tool gui is not at all intuitive |

| 03:21.03 | brlcad | that background works out really nicely for the pen |
| 03:25.47 | starseeker | likes that background color - need to save the settings :-) |
| 03:28.28 | starseeker | It's so boring it will never conflict with any color anyone would actually want to use for something ;-) |

| 15:31.39 | brlcad | hey d_rossberg -- you're enabled on the mentor dashboard now |
| 15:31.58 | brlcad | there's not much to do/see until the student applications begin being processed |
| 15:32.23 | brlcad | feel free to edit the ideas list if you see changes needed or would like to add other ideas (they don't have to go through me or anything) |
| 15:34.12 | d_rossberg | brlcad: ok, maybe i'll play with the "show may location" option a little bit ;-) |
| 15:34.41 | brlcad | :) |
| 15:34.50 | brlcad | and don't forget to pick your shirt size ;) |
| 15:34.58 | brlcad | it'll matter later.. |
| 15:35.29 | d_rossberg | this was easy |
| 15:36.20 | d_rossberg | but where can be seen the locations of the mentors? |
| 15:37.04 | brlcad | good question.. |
| 15:37.14 | brlcad | looks |
| 15:40.18 | d_rossberg | maybe the mentors will be shown in the application phase |
| 15:43.02 | brlcad | one of the admins is telling me that the map isn't published until near the end of the program |
| 15:43.12 | brlcad | but he's not sure either |
| 15:45.51 | d_rossberg | ah, as a replacement for a class photo |
| 15:46.11 | brlcad | we do that too, at the summit |

| 23:38.04 | hippieindamakin8 | hey while compiling the binaries.. there are loads of errors pertaining to the tk files |
| 23:40.28 | brlcad | hippieindamakin8: sounds like you might not have the X11 headers installed |
| 23:40.41 | hippieindamakin8 | yaya |
| 23:40.53 | brlcad | that's a separate dev install on package-managing systems like ubuntu/debian |
| 23:40.55 | hippieindamakin8 | again the same problem pertaining to X |
| 23:41.18 | hippieindamakin8 | ya i am on ubtuntu.. |
| 23:41.32 | brlcad | so you'll need to apt get the X11-dev headers |
| 23:41.39 | brlcad | I don't know the specific package name |
| 23:42.03 | hippieindamakin8 | ya i am searching that |
