Model new BRL-CAD Logo using BRL-CADBRL-CAD
Status: ClosedTime to complete:
72 hrs
Mentors: Sean
The winner of the recent BRL-CAD Logo contest is a clean depiction of two interlocked components. Modeling the new Logo in BRL-CAD in CSG (without NURBS, without polygons) requires some careful arrangement, but can provide an attractive three dimensional rendering. The output of this task would be a .g file of BRL-CAD logo. The two segments should overlap at the join, but this is your opportunity as an artist and 3D magician to come up with an interesting or faithful interpretation. References: |

I would like to work on this task.
This task has been assigned to rspencer. You have 72 hours to complete this task, good luck!
Yay!
In the description it claims that the segments should overlap at the join. May I submit one without overlaps? Also, I can't find much reference to nurbs? Should I assume that creating the logo with only predefined solids (rcc etc) is acceptable?
Thanks,
rspencer
Yes, it's acceptable if they don't overlap, you have artistic liberty to make it interesting. Creating it out of primitive solids and CSG is perfectly acceptable. :)
The work on this task is ready to be reviewed.

Congratulations, this task has been completed successfully.
rspencer, I'm impressed! There are a few minor modeling errors, but that looks great. You submitted our first completed task so you'll probably get a highlight in an upcoming news announcement.
Note that we just added a half-dozen additional modeling tasks. They're actually quite simple (letters), but the emphasis is on making something visually interesting with shader parameters set (beyond just setting the color) and no overlaps. You might want to check them out.
As GCI comes to a close, we wanted to take the time to say THANK YOU for all your efforts. This comment interface closes after GCI is over, so you're encouraged to join our mailing list where we'll be announcing contributions from GCI participants like yourelf over the upcoming months:

If you've provided your full name, we'll be sure to credit you in our authorship documentation and you'll see your name in a future announcement. If you contact us at devs@brlcad.org or via IRC, we'll even let you know when your work is integrated and follow up with updates. You're welcome and encouraged to contact us any time, especially if you have a question about how to continue participating in Open Source after GCI is over, but even if just to keep in touch. Note that ongoing participation in Open Source is one of the most impressive skills to have on your resumé. Take care, be well, and thank you again!
