| |
| − | * No useful response on Stack Overflow.
| |
| − | * Found one solution of my own but that's not much efficient. Actually in this solution, user can delete entities in reverse order as they are drawn. Before actually implementing it, looking for more efficient one.

| − | ===August 23 2013===
| |
| − | * Expanding that "inefficient" solution into useful one finally, "on demand delete" option done in a small standalone application. Now user can delete entities in random order. Next step is to implement it into actual application after testing. :)
| |
| − | * Solved few small issues that I got while testing. However, needs more intensive testing. Will share on mailing list once implemented into actual application.

| |
| − | * Solved various small issues that came up during implementation of "on demand delete option" into application. Now need to use AJAX to call "createOBJ" function (PHP) at a "onclick" event of "view" button.
| |
| − | * Fixed issues related to coding standards.
| |
| − | * Again not feeling well.
| |

| |
| − | ===August 25 2013===
| |
| − | * Working on AJAX request problem. Looking into the documentation. After this has been done, work of demand rendering facility will be finished.

| |
| − | * On demand entity draw / hide facility implemented.
| |
| − | * Now Next plans are to add sign-up / sign-in feature so that every user have his / her account and could access and manage uploaded files. Further I'll be adding attractive GUI for easy user experience. But before that, I would test whatever I did till now.
| |
| − | * I was successfully able to draw Goliath.c of goliath.g but found few issues.
| |

| |
| − | ===August 28 2013===
| |
| − | * While testing with BRL-CAD's default .g files, I noticed various points that needed to be considered to give user a better experience. I'll share them on mailing list.
| |
| − | * Now working on sign-up / sign-in feature.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===August 29 2013===
| |
| − | * Searched for sign-up modules on the Internet so that I could change / merge them into one that would be useful for this project.
| |
| − | * Found many, but need to combine them and reduce unnecessary features and code.
| |
| − | * Sign up feature is implemented, entry is being saved in database.
| |
| − | * Working on email verification.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===August 30 2013===
| |
| − | * Email verification is done.
| |
| − | * Created login page, landing page, and implemented sessions variables.
| |
| − | * Sign-up module is ready. Need testing.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===August 31 2013===
| |
| − | * Now the user is able to create account, login and logout successfully.
| |
| − | * Module tested successfully.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===September 01 2013===
| |
| − | * To make actual use of user accounts, I changed the code so that as soon as the user clicks on confirmation link (to activate account), the user directory (same as that of username filled while signing up) is created and a subdirectory "obj" (to store obj files) is also created.

| |
| − | ===September 02 2013===
| |
| − | * Getting problem when user uploads a file. After upload, all entities of .g file erased. This was due to path problem. Actually the uploaded file was not being moved to desired directory and instead new empty .g file created in user directory having the same name as that of uploaded file. Anyway, this has been solved. Now the uploaded file is successfully saved in user's directory and with this sign-Up / sign-In work completed.
| |
| − | * Testing.

| |
| − | * Testing the application after integrating with signup module. Identified possibilities where improvements can be done; will be added to TODO list.
| |
| − | * Added bootstrap CSS and custom CSS to improve look and feel.

| − | ===September 04 2013===
| |
| − | * Visited various sites similar to this application to get idea of perfect GUI. My main focus is to first work on the page where user see models and then change other pages accordingly as that page is main focus of this project. I think I need to add few more features to help user to view models in convenient way and since I noticed a lot of scope of this project so I need to discuss with developers about what to be added and what not within the GSoC period.

| |
| − | * Updated todo list on GitHub repository.
| |
| − | * Just finished with two new features: Now as the entity added to scene, it gets a random color. Now models look more colorful. At this moment colors being assigned to entities are random, in future this will be brought under control of user.

| − | * Secondly, now models are drawn horizontally. Earlier, models drawn tilted (one side raised), were difficult to examine so fixing this just improved usability.

| |
| − | * Submitted patch.
| |
| − | * Implemented grid in geometry viewer as suggested by Sean.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===September 11 2013===
| |
| − | * After reading Sean's reply, got many ideas about how the requested features can be implemented. Before actually start coding, I want to plan about how the options of such features will be provided to user. Like, if we implement wireframe feature, how user will use it, i.e. whether it should be like each entity should clickable to draw wireframe. Even if the entity is clickable, which button it should be clicked with, right or left. If it is right button, should it have some context menu with many other options?
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * Other case may be to have single checkbox option which when clicked, all entities in the scene will get their wireframes.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * Also these wireframes can be drawn from left side panel (list of entities) when user hovers an entity.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * Similar possibilities are also there for transparency option. Need to discuss.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===September 12 2013===
| |
| − | * Assuming that we would have a combination as whole of what I devised yesterday I started working on making entities clickable to get wireframes.
| |
| − | * Able to get wireframes on built-in geometry on a user click in a simple standalone application.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===September 13 2013===
| |
| − | * Wireframes implemented on OBJ objects but currently they are very inefficient. The major problem is that sometimes, user clicks at one place, and action is performed somewhere else. That's annoying.
| |
| − | * Other problem is, in case if the object is a combination of simpler entities, wireframe cannot be drawn on the whole object with single click; one has to click each component entity to draw its wireframe.
| |
| − | * Here is the example: http://screencloud.net/v/ozjo
| |
| − | * Earlier lighting was not proper. One side of model always remained in dark. I attached light to movement of camera, so now models are more enlightened.
| |
| − | * Added key bindings to see: top(T), bottom(B), left(L), right(R) of model; giving out more touch of BRL-CAD.

| |
| − | * Took break.

| |
| − | ===September 15 2013===
| |
| − | * Implemented wireframe option. Now black wireframe appear by default. On pressing "S", model will be shaded with random colour and on pressing "W" wireframe will appear again on whole model.

| |
| − | * Earlier I reported a problem about slow performance of big / heavy models. Actually, this is not a problem of ThreeJS. Earlier on my Chrome browser canvas renderer was enabled that was not fully able to handle such models. I enabled webGL in settings and tried that heavy model (Goliath.g) once again, and now it is working perfectly just like tiny models.
