Model BRL-CAD in BRL-CAD #5BRL-CAD
Status: ClosedTime to complete: 100 hrs Mentors: Isaac Kamga, 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}

Certainly an interesting design, but not something we can easily use because you split the logo across multiple lines.  would you change the model so that the entire word "BRL-CAD" is all on one line?  You'll want do change the shape of the underlying box to appropriately fit the entire work too, centered horizontally and vertically.

Bonus points if you can use primitives other than spheres for the subtractions.

About bonus points. In my previous task you can see, that I can use primitives other than spheres for the adding, subtractions etc. :)
