MD3 model plugin

MD3 models in the centre of the cube!

Once the input redirection is ready it will be even possible to wrap your windows around any mesh and model ... while being still able to work with them (well, technically seen ;)).

If something like this anybody will attack... I would like to see a more general library (not just for compiz-plugin use) spawn from that for a format like collada... or loading parts of .blend files. That way I would have less work for the fully 3D-ified cairo-clock I have in my mind ever since I wanted a "floating clock" on my linux desktop.

I'm such a lazybone ;-)

Best regards...

Could that be done with a window plane that ALWAYS faces the user (even spinning the cube), that has its origin in the centre of the cube.

Then if I want a 3d gizmo I could xwinwrap it to that plane to give the illusion of it being in the centre on the cube, but the program itself will no be aware that it centred in that way, it'll just be the plugin that places it there.

Of course applications could read info from compiz to determine which angle the user is facing, and do operations such as change the angle at which the 2d/3d stuff is drawn.

In a sense it would an "always inside cube, facing user" option, as opposed to an "always on top" option for windows.

Well I don't know how long 24 hours is where you live ;)
But the announcement was made 2 days ago.

When software is involved 24 hours can mean up to 3 years :)

I think he is saying that most of it is done, so expect something maybe soon.

No pressure... when its ready :)

Mike... lowfat done... gee... no way... don't give people any false ideas, please. I'm preparing it to move in the open (also to force myself to focus more on it). But it's still a lot of work. I wish I could have burried myself somewhere for the last 12 months and just worked on it... but sadly life doesn't work that way.

It's my baby and I want to to grow and blossom, so I don't want to make any mistakes or rush things.

The stated 24 hours from monday were when I didn't take into account that my new girl-friend was so stressing and demanding. Apart from that my talk from FOSDEM also created some noise and "demands" from people. I always try to help out as good as I possibly can.

So to make things clear... I will move it to a git repository hosted at freedesktop.org (that's the proper place for something like this imo). That and a design and vision document (the 10.000 miles view from above), showing where I will take it, are the things I'm currently preparing.

Lowfat being done... in terms of calling it a 1.0... no by far not at that point yet. It's not a release of any kind. Just the first step of it starting to breath in the open.

I hope that sets the record straight.

Best regards...

When I said done, I should probably have said ready for the public.

It sounds good though, please let us know when you are ready :)

Can someone hack cube.c and player.c (from lib3ds) together and see what it looks like?
