Impressive and fun 3D geometry work
From 4 comments
This is fantastic. I love programming geometry. This must be a lot of fun to work on. That gif at the bottom is mind bending…
artursapek on HNWow, this is amazing! Really, really nice work! Will read it and analyze it in-depth, think I could learn thing or two...
Philipp__ on HNNice work!
IshKebab on HNThis is fantastic! I think I can use this in my laser projection work. :)

I just want to say that I'm a huge fan of your open source projects. Thanks for sharing them!
kgabis on HNSame here - Nice job. Craft (Minecraft in C / opengl) is a really cool project. I didn't realize it was the same person until I went back through the github repo just now.
phodo on HNThank you, @fogleman! We really love you work - including other projects!

Path tracer reuse and gopher sample impressive
From 2 comments
This is amazing. I spent some time staring at he gopher picture in disbelieve. 'Mindblowing' would be the fitting description. Then I scrolled down to the samples...
w23j on HNI thought I remembered seeing your graphics work before in go posted on HN. Yep: https://github.com/fogleman/pt Is this an evolution of that work, at least in terms of the…

Name 'ln' collides with the Unix ln command, hurting search
From 3 comments
`ln` is a utility commonly used for making links. Searching for this project in the future is going to be a pest.
endgame on HNThis. Please rename the project.
obelisk_ on HNIt's also an automatic path conflict on any *nix system as a result.

Joins between combined shapes need texturing for good results
From 2 comments
This looks pretty great, I'll play with it. Can you explain this from the Readme? Unfortunately, it's difficult to compute the joint formed at the boundaries of these combined…

Command-line tool converting OBJ files to SVG
From 2 comments
That's pretty cool. A commandline app that just takes an .OBJ file and renders it to an .SVG would actually be pretty useful (viewport position / orientation would of course need…
WhiteNoiz3 on HNAgree! That'd be pretty cool

Parameterization and texturing of surfaces
From 1 comment
Even cooler if I could figure out some general way of parameterizing & texturing the surface instead of just rendering the triangles. Any ideas?

scrumper on HNIf I understand correctly, we want to compute co-edges here. I believe there are algorithms to do this, I know SketchUp has this feature [1]; also Gmsh [2]; and I remember seeing…

Whether symbolic arithmetic would help robustness
From 1 comment
Would symbolic arithmetic help with that? Of is that just too slow a priori?

The output reminds me of Blender's Freestyle plugin. This looks great though because it's not part of a software suite! ;) [0]…

An other similar software is Sketch[1]. It generates tikz images that you can compile in LaTeX. [1] http://sketch4latex.sourceforge.net/
