Google Summer of Code/2013
From BRL-CAD
GSoC 2013 With BRL-CAD
BRL-CAD has again been accepted as a mentoring organization for the Google Summer of Code!
Following is a summary for each of the GSoC students accepted to work on projects for BRL-CAD. See the links to their personal profile, development logs, and project page.

Matrix Pull Routine for performing the opposite of the Matrix Push on Geometry.
- [?? Summary]: The pull routine takes a specific node on a CSG tree, walking down to the primitive shapes restoring the geometric transformations(scaling, translation or rotations) at each stage down the CSG tree traversal based on reversing all the geometric transformations that occurred on the primitive shapes located at the leaf. Pull routine also stores the local coordinate systems at each point during the traversal from the primitives up to the given initial node. All transformation matrices visited along the tree will be set to their original transformation matrices. This command will fail if no changes occurred to the primitive shapes at the leaves of the CSG tree.
