On another thread, i said sometime this year i plan on supporting Google Sketchup as an input for the target models.
This resulted in this thread
Hi;
"So if I send you an .ipt or .dwg, that's cool?"
it will be when i write the parser. i use google docs and have thought of expanding the places i can get a source file. i was thinking these three sources for target models.
1) rgbsb builds the target model
2) User provides and ascii file , they do all the work
3) take google docs, dwg files .etc.
Today, (1) is the only choice. I said i would look into google docs after i get some major milestones done
1) Build targets using rgnsb,
Mostly Done. Need to allow user to delete models they dont want and to edit an existing model2) Allow users to create effects into their library,
In Progress3) Allow user to select from a pull down of effects from their library and also select a target,
this week4) Produce an animated gof so user can see what that effect will look like on their virtual tree
by next week5) produce xml files for sequencers,
2-8 weeks6) Create models for other rgb targets ,
maybe by june7) New effects, movies, snowstorms, fireworks
i will do this as a break from (5) Write a user manual,
before june9) Look to using a google docs file as a target
summer, fallI am working on 2 & 3 now. I hope within the week people will be trying effect son their trees and seeingg the result on the web page.
I expect #5 to take 2-8 weeks.,
I want to be done with 1-5 by june.
thanks
