Model BRL-CAD in BRL-CAD #7BRL-CAD
Status: ClosedTime to complete: 100 hrs Mentors: Mandeep Kaur, DishankTags: modeling, logo, CAD, design, 3d

Model our project name with our tools. You can use any method you like to model such as interactively with mged or archer, or as a script.

Model the letters of "BRL-CAD" in CSG (without polygons and not using an EBM).

The output of this task will be a .g file of BRL-CAD and a rendered image. This is your opportunity as an artist and 3D magician to come up with an interesting yet understandable interpretation.

Note that there are other "BRL-CAD" title modeling tasks and yours must start from scratch and be completely original.

This command run within MGED should help give you an interesting render:

rt -A0.75 -s1024 -c \{set ambSamples=256\}

Vladimir,


This looks good, but would you make another rendering that it's straight down, so we can see what the depth looks like on it?  Doesn't have to be much, just enough to see what the sides look like a little bit.


Also, it'd be great to see this with ambient occlusion enabled.  From within mged, this should create a myimage.png with AO turned on:


rt -A0.75 -s1024 -c \{set ambSamples=256\} -o myimage.png

Unfortunately, the program gives me an error, when i'm trying to use this command. 


It says: "tree -u model C:/Program Files/BRLCAD 7.24.0/text.g brlcad.c;


rt:  rt_dirbuild(ambSamples=256) failure


Raytrace failed."


Maybe the problem is that i'm running BRL-CAD on Windows?
