[GSOC 2013] 3D Shape Maker Tool

in General Discussion  •  GSOC 2013  •  6 months ago  
Hi, my name is Hakim. I am a Phd student and I want to contribute to processing in the context of GSoC 2013. I found the following proposal from last year:


I wander, is it still viable ? I checked the Wiki and this tool hasn't been implemented yet.

I don't believe this was ever implemented.  I think it's an interesting idea.  I made the same comment last year -- make sure you take a look at the new PShape classes if  you can integrate a tool with createShape() that would be ideal.

Hello,

I made a similar drawing tool once, far from finished and with lots of ideas and code from the forum (especially a great color selector).

Features:
  • Notebook with a few independent pages to paint on (switch between multiple drawings), Idea from the forum.
  • multilanguage (German and English so far)
  • select a 2D or 3D shape type with the mouse (screen buttons with good mouse over help text)
  • draw the shape with the mouse
  • while you hold the mouse you can change the size (x,y) or press esc to stop this shape
  • release the mouse and the shape is drawn
  • select fill and stroke color independently. Great color selector from the forum.
  • Hit F1 for help.

Editing existing objects
  • With screen button " * " you browse the shapes with cursor left and right
  • selected item is white outlined
  • hit return to edit it
  • choose here from a dialog to change its position in x,y direction or in depth direction or choose size to change size etc.
  • hit return to save changes or esc to discard them

Problems
  • not finished
  • some flaws in translation and UI
  • no save and load (screen buttons don't work)
