I would like to work on this task.
This task has been assigned to BrendenD15. You have 48 hours to complete this task, good luck!
I've got almost everything set up, except I'm having trouble shrinking a few of the images so that they fit better. You can check it out at http://brlcad.org/wiki/Tutorial/Shaders . I'll post a link on the main wiki page once I get all of the pictures moved around and positioned right.
Don't worry about shrinking the images when you upload them. You can upload them full resolution and the display them smaller in the tutorial where the [[image:...]] tag is used with wiki syntax. I took a quick look and it's looking pretty good already. I would suggest maybe even making most of the images already there display at a smaller scale (maybe 75% or 50%), but use your better judgement. Just remember to upload them full-scale first.
I've shrunk most of the pictures and have organized the examples so that they are in a horizontal format allowing for easy viewing of how they relate to each other. The one exception is the last example. I left the photos in that format that was set up in the Word document partly because I wanted to keep the wiki page mostly true to the original format, and mostly because I can't space the words so that they would line up correctly over each photo if I were to put them in the horizontal format.
I do believe though that I have done a good job designing the page and so I have added the link to it at http://brlcad.org/wiki/Main_page under the tutorials section. I am also marking it as complete.
The work on this task is ready to be reviewed.
By the way, if you would like to see some of my other wiki postings I did last year they are at http://wiki.apertium.org/wiki/Become_a_language_pair_developer_for_Apertium and http://wiki.apertium.org/wiki/Cascaded_Interchunk . The Cascaded Interchunk page has been added to cosiderably by other users. The other page, however, is almost exactly the same as when I first created it. So it's a much better example.
Congratulations, this task has been completed successfully.
