He said, moving / animating the geometry around is not enough for engineering purposes. An ideal software should be capable to explain the complexity behind it. However, web 3D is currently in infancy, so it will happen gradually but not in single shot. :) That's why, current purpose of our viewer is only to visualize geometry. However, I am not very much clear about complexity right now. > You will not cover all in your GSoC project, but we expect you will keep > working, > and other may also join in future to make a useful product. Yes of course. > So you need to understand each and everything, and make noted for "To do".

This interface has features that are more relevant to an editor (content creation software), but as Sean suggested, focus of this project should be viewer rather than content creation (i.e. editor) and removing irrelevant features may take lot of time. So, now I will be focusing on making a minimal new web interface for this project. >> I would rather see something more minimal that is more inline with what your >> mock-ups originally proposed. > > for the purpose of GSoC, but extensible to have a polished product later. Exactly, I planned to continue this project in three phases: 1 Implement basic working support. 2. Add nice looking GUI. 3. Adding advanced features. I keep phase 1 and 2 within the scope of this GSoC project. Phase 3 after GSoC (may be started within GSoC project). -- Harmanpreet Singh Blog: http://singhharman.wordpress.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Get your SQL database under version control now!
