No documentation for now, sorry! But there are a few examples. You'll want to

TODO/bugs:
|
|
|
|
- Near/far clipping in 3D. Currently objects behind the camera cause all kinds
|
|
of fail.
|
|
- Color interpolation. Right now it just switches colors on vertices.
|
|
- RGB support. The basics are there in libol, but I'm sure I'm missing stuff
|
|
since I currently can't test it.
|
|
- Figure out a tracing algorithm that isn't so hacky. Something with proper edge
|
|
detection.
|
|
- Unify genfont.py and svg2ild.py. Right now genfont is a horrible
|
|
cut-and-paste-and-hack of svg2ild.
|
|
- Better integrate SVGs with libol, and/or deduplicate code. Currently svg2ild
|
|
does a lot of the same stuff tha libol does (rendering and object reordering).
|
|
genfont might be a step forwards, but libol's bezier support needs to improve.
|
|
Also, I need some kind of higher level format for bezier-based laser graphics
|
|
(ILDA is sample-based). On the other hand, it would be nice to make libol's
|
|
ILDA loader optionally split the ILDA stream into objects to merge in with
|
|
the scene more efficiently.
|
|
- Optimize
|
|
- Tons more that I'm forgetting
|
|
|
|
Thoughts:
|
|
- Develop a "codec" for mkv/whatever to do sample-based laser graphics? So
|
|
playvid can play dedicated laser videos. After all, existing video containers
|
|
already do all of the audio and sync stuff for us, it makes no sense to invent
|
|
a format from scratch. I could even write an mplayer "decoder" that renders
|
|
the image, so it can be previewed.
