Baby step, but at least it's all clojure code: https://images3.sw-cdn.net/model/picture/625x465_4088521_13160618_1448731595.jpg

Clojure or cljs? :)

martinklepsch 2015-11-28T18:15:18.000206Z

Using http://thi.ng libs?

meow 2015-11-28T18:21:50.000207Z

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

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

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

meow 2015-11-28T21:01:58.000210Z

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

2015-11-28T21:03:13.000211Z

aha, gotcha

meow 2015-11-28T21:03:17.000212Z

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

2015-11-28T21:03:55.000213Z

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

meow 2015-11-28T21:04:23.000214Z

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

2015-11-28T21:04:35.000215Z

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

meow 2015-11-28T21:05:42.000216Z

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.

meow 2015-11-28T21:06:32.000217Z

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.

@meow nice!

meow 2015-11-28T21:44:57.000219Z

@eggsyntax: thanks! :simple_smile:

meow 2015-11-28T21:45:04.000220Z

I'm having fun.

eggsyntax 2015-11-28T23:03:26.000223Z

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

meow 2015-11-28T23:10:47.000225Z

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

meow 2015-11-28T23:13:12.000226Z

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

meow 2015-11-28T23:14:23.000227Z

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

eggsyntax 2015-11-28T23:19:47.000228Z

Totally
