Hello Robert et al,
First of all, an announcement: I have finished my Masters. My thesis was
accepted unanimously and apart from some small corrections, the comments
were good. I'm happy! :-)
I was thinking of publishing my Masters project under the OSGPL. It's an
interesting program (at least I think so) that combines basic
Precomputed Radiance Transfer [Sloan2002] and a modified Shading Cache
[Tole2002] using OSG for realtime rendering as well as Adian Egli's
generously contributed kdtree for raytracing.
You have often spoken of an osgForge site that you wanted to set up and
which would allow hosting of different OSG-related projects. Will that
site see the light of day anytime soon? It would be a nice place where
my project could live and others could contribute to it if they find it
useful. And in a more general sense, I think it would be very cool to
group all the cool projects that people want to make available to
others, and it would encourage others to use them and contribute to them
as was done with OSG itself, but on a smaller and even more distributed
scale.
Otherwise I can always make a googlecode project or something, or even
just open up my local SVN for read-only access, but I'd prefer to host
it somewhere where potential problems with my own computer
infrastructure would not affect it, and an osgForge would provide some
nice visibility too. :-)
If I can help make osgForge a reality, let me know.
Thanks,
J-S
