| 00:23.05 | brlcad | but it looks like they've worked on improving that |
| 00:25.24 | brlcad | for our purpose, we'd need a slightly modified geometry export |
| 00:25.26 | brlcad | leaves are usually modeled as individual polygons in most content systems |

| 00:26.13 | brlcad | we'd need them to be plate mode leaves and solid mode limbs (and we might have to mod to close off the trunk/roots) |

| 01:48.19 | brlcad | glad to see the submission! |
| 02:11.10 | elf11 | Hello :) well I am sure it needs some improving, but I am open to any suggestions |
| 02:28.02 | starseeker | brlcad: would be interesting... wonder if there's enough demand for plant models to be worth it |
| 02:29.15 | starseeker | would probably need an Archer plugin to provide the GUI controls |

| 08:09.47 | milamber | pnjun: if no one is up to answer your question, your best bet is to just ask the question. most people are pretty good about reading the logs and getting back to you. |
| 08:10.41 | pnjun | Ok, i'll do it |
| 08:14.03 | pnjun | What are the required skills to participate to SOCIS in the project 'bending light'? do i have to already know how a raytracer works? About the application, do i have to propose milestones and algorithm i intend to use even if i apply to one of the already proposed projects? |
| 08:17.19 | pnjun | How i am supposed to work? I took a look at the code regarding the raytracer, but i'll need some hints on the code in order to start developing, will the mentor help me getting started or am i supposed to do all on my own |

| 09:56.57 | reuben | Cool application submitted, look forward to working on particle systems. |
| 10:17.57 | brlcad | hi pnjun - the required skills entirely depend on what you propose doing |
| 10:18.58 | brlcad | your proposal should include milestones and algorithms -- our project ideas are ONLY ideas, starting point suggestions |
| 10:20.16 | brlcad | there are lots of devs that will be able to provide hints and help you get started AND you're also supposed to figure a lot out on your own, it's a balancing act |
| 10:20.43 | brlcad | reuben: thanks! if you hang around here, hopefully I can get you some feedback on the application in a few hours |
| 10:22.14 | brlcad | pnjun: for the bending light project, there are two main approaches to consider for simulating light traveling along a curved path |
| 10:22.30 | pnjun | brlcad: I've already downloaded the virtual machine distro an took a look to the code, obiuvlsy i'll try to figure out the most of my own |
| 10:22.37 | brlcad | first, you'll need a representation of the path, implicit or explicit |
| 10:23.03 | brlcad | then you'll need an evaluation of the path, where you have to decide direct evaluation or piecewise linear |
| 10:23.54 | brlcad | pnjun: you're not meant to figure out what to do for your proposal all on your own, there the main limitation is just going to be time (today is the deadline) |
| 10:24.29 | pnjun | i've already applyed, but i did not specify milestones or schedule in the application |
| 10:24.56 | brlcad | ah, yes I see that |
| 10:25.13 | pnjun | and since the application peroid ends in half an hour i don't think i can do it |
| 10:25.23 | brlcad | you should definitely try to fill in a lot more detail |
| 10:26.07 | brlcad | socis deadlines haven't been as strict as others, sometimes you can keep editing for several hours |
| 10:26.45 | pnjun | I can spend this afternoon try to figure out how to implement it and then propose my milestones |
| 10:26.51 | brlcad | what you can do is create a user page on our wiki and link to that in your proposal -- then you can keep editing the wiki page all the way up until we finally read/review them |
| 10:27.15 | brlcad | I would suggest creating a user page and doing that now |
| 10:27.25 | pnjun | ok, thanks.. i'll do it asap |
| 10:27.49 | brlcad | here's examples for our GSoC students, several of which have their proposals on the wiki: http://brlcad.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/2012 |
| 10:28.07 | brlcad | it's the first link, their name |
| 10:28.42 | brlcad | of course, not anurag.. :) |
| 10:29.03 | brlcad | the next too do, though |
| 10:29.42 | pnjun | I'm looking at it.. i'm creating my own page |
| 10:29.51 | pnjun | and then i'll link it in the application |
