  1. Before reinventing the wheel... on OpenGL Widget Set Recommendations? · · Score: 1

    May I humbly suggest you check this app out:

    http://www.equinox3d.com

  2. Real-time ray-tracing on The Future of Real-Time Graphics · · Score: 2, Informative

    Well, it's getting real close.
    This 3D package has it:
    http://www.equinox3d.com

    The first two scenes on he following page run around 4-30 frames per second, fully ray-traced (multiple reflections, refractions etc.) at low resolutions (~160x120) on an Athlon 2000XP.

    http://www.equinox3d.com/News.html

    The renderer will be released in a couple of weeks.
    The program runs on Linux and it's free (shareware).

    The author.

  3. Try this one: on Software for the Realtime 3D Modeler? · · Score: 1

    http://www.equinox3d.com

    It lets you write your own OpenGL renderer for a whole 3D window, or just a specific Geometry.

  4. I could use some help on this one: on Open Source as Programming Exp. for College Students? · · Score: 1

    www.equinox3d.com

    It's a pretty decent sized project (~250000 lines of C code and growing rapidly).

    Experience with:
    -3D programming (modeling, rendering animation)
    -GUI design/programming
    -large system core design
    -API design.
    -or even 3D artwork
    would be very useful.

    If it ever becomes a commercial product, I'll let contributors in on the profit (promise, boyscout's honor :) ).

  5. It seems a little small for that resolution on Monitor One-Upmanship From IBM · · Score: 1

    I use a 16:10, 23" wide-screen monitor (SONY) at work, at 1800x1200.
    I think, that if you keep the monitor at a comfortable distance, that's about the right resolution for that screen size, maybe 2048x1280 tops.

  6. Re:I hate SUVs too, but... on Eco-Terrorism · · Score: 1

    You're right, thanks for the correction. :)

  7. I hate SUVs too, but... on Eco-Terrorism · · Score: 1

    I think, any 4-6 person vehicle that has a worse gas-mileage than a Cessna 172 (around 16-18 MPG) and can not fly, is evil :) However, this burning of an SUV dealership reminds me of the case when a "Pro-Life" activist killed a doctor who performed abortions. Hyppocrats...
