Description:
This tool named "vrml12prim" is a data converter
from VRML 1.0 format into g4.prim format for Fukui Renderer DAWN.
(1) How to compile:
Go to ./src, select a makefile of your platform, edit if necessary,
and then invoke "make":
% cd ./src
% make -f Makefile.PLATFORM
The default makefile, i.e. "Makefile" is the copy of Makefile.GNU_g++.
(2) How to install
% make install -f Makefile.PLATFORM
Then an executable file "vrml12prim" is copied to the directory
specified by the variable "INSTALL_DIR" in Makefile.PLATFORM.
(3) Usage
vrm12prim [option(s)] vrml_1_file g4_prim_file
Options:
-b Add visible bounding box.
-d Display debugging Infomation.
-h Help.
-n Set a Ndiv value. (ex. -n10 --> Ndiv = 10)
-u Data not supported in g4.prim-format are output as
comment lines.
Example:
vrml12prim -b -n50 box.wrl box.prim
(4) How to test vrml12prim
% cd ../SAMPLE_DATA/VRML1_DATA
% ../../vrm12prim src_file.wrl dest_file.prim
In order to visualize the output g4.prim file, i.e.,
"dest_file.prim" above, you need Fukui Renderer DAWN.
ftp://rhodes.fuis.fukui-u.ac.jp/pub/graphics/fukui_graphics_system
/dawn_XXX.tar.gz
where XXX is a version number.
(6) Sample outputs
They are placed at the directory ./SAMPLE_DATA/G4PRIM_DATA
(7) Documents for g4.prim format
See G4PRIM_FORMAT_24.tex included in the DAWN package.
(8) This tool "vrml12prim" is using qvlib:
http://www.ii.uib.no/~torgeir/qvik/index.html
We want to admire this very useful library.
(We have modified the source of qvlib slightly
for our convenience.)
