May 27 - May 31

  • I am trying to understand how things are happening in BRL-CAD. Things aren't very easily understandable. So I am doing things like breaking and studying the function call stack to understand what happens underneath. I need to do this because I believe I should implement displaying of geometry first since the existing thing in RT^3 project (ray tracing) is not sufficient even for development.
  • Now understand how different DMs display Vlists using OpenGL or Window system methods.
  • I'm studying Vlist creation.
