Hi,

Sean has left the following comment at Combine letters for "BRL-CAD" into one 3D model http://www.google-melange.com/gci/task/view/google/gci2012/7974264:


how long


How long do you think it'd take you if you had to do it again, knowing what you know now?

As for creating the ground plane, these steps should help:


run the "in" command, eg, "in ground half" and it'll interactively prompt you
after that, add it to a region: r ground.ru ground
e ground.r
Go to Combination Editor
select the shader button
add the stack shader
click the add shader button and add checker
click the add shader button and add mirror
apply, close the combination editor window
run this to render it pretty: rt -s1024 -c {set ambSamples=256}
run this to render it on white: rt -s1024 -W -c {set ambSamples=256}

Shouldn't take more than a couple minutes to do that, but it's important to make it look snazzy. This image is going to be a highlight about the program sent to our news channels (viewed by tens of thousands) after GCI is over, so it's worthwhile to make it look great. Your name will be credited along with the other modelers.

If you get stuck on ANYTHING or have a question, please don't hestitate! It's really neat to see how this is turning out!


Greetings,
