Happy Chinese New Year





Wednesday 28 Jan 2009

Back to work from a long weekend . Kind of lost due to away for too long. Over the weekend and Chinese New Year, I did not went for any visiting  due to my grandfather passed away just a month ago. So I stayed at home to do my work which need to be completed over the long weekend. 

In the morning, we had a discussion meeting. We discussed about 3D loader application , drawing board application. After that we talked about the podcast we learnt and explain why it's good. However, Kevin was not very pleased with our research and gave us one more day to research more. Also, submitted the draft of our article.

Leonard and I start researching on the quartz composer to do 3D loader application as later in the afternoon we had to demo the rest about our research.

What we found after research
Kineme 3D(cost USD$25) is able to support 3D object to be load in Quartz Composer 
Example files like .3ds, obj, md2 and many more. (those were our main format)
It required OpenGLTools plugin too. 
If you downloaded it, it come with a 7 Day free trial and some example of 3D applications.

After lunch, Kevin gather us in the lightdraw lab to discuss on the IHPC article and gave us feedback on it. He also mention our English is pretty bad so from now on we had to speak English in the company. After the discussion on the article, Leonard and I presented our research result to Kevin and Cheng Ting. From there, they made some decision on the application plan.

In the morning , we had a discussion meeting together with Kevin, Cheng Ting and Ming Hong. We discussed on the progress after yesterday's discussion meeting. After that, we talked about the podcast we listened and elaborate more about the podcast. 

We tested out with the Kineme patch in Quartz Composer and those examples in the patch. After that, we tried to create a new application using those patch to load 3D objects, rotates, scale, translate and etc...
