Clojure or cljs? :)

meow18:11:50

@martinklepsch: Clojure using http://thi.ng and output to an X3D file.

meow18:11:29

I'm working on Conway polyhedron operators and the coloring of the faces.

kephale20:11:51

@meow: saw your post on twitter too, very nice! btw, do you ever run into issues with the meshes needing to be repaired?

meow21:11:58

@kephale: No, but I'm also avoiding operations that are self-intersecting or would otherwise mess up the mesh.

kephale21:11:13

aha, gotcha

meow21:11:17

I've definitely produced some meshes that display in unusual ways in Meshlab or view3dscene. 😉

kephale21:11:55

mmm, that was an issue i often had when evolving meshes

meow21:11:23

At this point the stuff I'm doing is pretty tame, starting with a platonic solid as a seed, applying simple Conway operators, etc.

kephale21:11:35

arrr, now i want to spend the rest of the day playing with printable meshes

meow21:11:42

I know I will run into issues when I start dividing the shape and duplicating it along faces and so forth. Not sure how morphogen handles that.

meow21:11:32

There are a couple of mesh-cleaning functions within http://thi.ng geom, but I'm not sure it currently has everything one would need.

meow21:11:04

I'm having fun.

@meow: have you run across Bathsheba Grossman's work? https://www.bathsheba.com/sculpt/

meow23:11:47

@eggsyntax: Yes. She is quite popular on Shapeways. Great stuff.

meow23:11:12

I'm working pretty hard to avoid doing anything similar or derivative of folks like Bathsheba.

meow23:11:23

That's why I'm chasing down the rabbit hole of crazy color mesh ops.
