GSoC meetup

Transcript

1. GSoC : X3D Geometry conversion, with BRL-CAD By Konrad Djimeli, Department of Computer Science, University of Buea, Cameroon.
2. Google Summer of Code Google Summer of Code is a program organised by Google where students are selected to contribute to open-source projects. Every successful student gets $5500 (USD), a certificate and chance to interview for a job or internship at Google.
3. Ballistic Research Laboratory (BRL-CAD) BRL-CAD is a constructive solid geometry (CSG) solid modeling computer-aided design (CAD) system. Developed by the United States Army Research Laboratory
4. As a Computer Science student at the University of Buea. I was selected for the Google Summer of Code to develop an X3D importer for BLRCAD.
5. X3D Geometry conversion - A geometry converter is used to convert CAD files from one format to another. - Similar to compilers in computer science this project relies on concepts like parsing , lexical analysis and output generation. - The main technologies used include the C programming language and FreeWRL X3D viewer. For more information check out my project proposal link below http://brlcad.org/wiki/User:Konrado_DJ/GSoc2015/Proposal/X3D_Im porter
6. Sample rendering of an imported X3D file in BRLCAD
7. LIVE DEMO
