Hi, My name is Kairong Jiang. I'm a third-year undergraduate student of Zhejiang University and I major in computer science. I have been working under professor Yue Chen on a VTK-based program and I'm interested in making better sculpting tools for blender as my GSoC 2016 project.
I have been trying the existing sculpting tools of blender and reading some of the source codes concerning sculpting to make sense of how they work. I think it wouldn't be too hard to implement the tools proposed on the ideas page once I figured out how sculpting was done in blender. That is the data structures of vertices and meshes, and the procedures to manipulate them. I could really need someone to tell me which specific code those procedures are implemented so that I can look into it. As for the three sculpting tools proposed on the ideas page, I can think of some intuitive and naive methods to implement them, but I wonder if there are some better ways. Also it would be nice if someone can tell me whether there are researches on implementing such tools or implementations in other 3D modeling softwares and where I can learn about them. I tried to use IRC a couple of days ago but I found it confusing that I have no idea who I should talk to on this topic. I would be appreciated if anyone could offer me some guidance and discuss further with me about the details of the project. Thanks, Kairong Jiang _______________________________________________ Bf-committers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers
