Dear Prof. Don.
Thank you for your interesting on projective texture mapping.
2 questions: do your three proposed texture nodes work similarly to the
other X3D texture nodes with scope restricted to the geometry in the
same Shape node. For example:
Shape
Geometry node
Appearance
Material
Texture node
Hopefully the functionality DEF and USE are the same, for example
the same OrthoTexture might have a single DEF and 2 USE instances
to apply to the geometry found in 3 different Shape nodes.
(I think the answers are yes, but will let Kwanhee Yoo answer by email.)
=>
Your question is very important to apply projective texture mapping(PTM)
into the scope of given objects.
I totally agree with your opinion. In a hierarchical scene graph, I think
that users should be able to provide PTM for only wanted objects. So that
PTM should be specified with respect to the objects as you described. The
solution for the problem is to specify PTM as Appearance components of the
node describing the wanted objects as you suggested. Clearly, DEF and USE
for PTM can be used.
Thanks.
Kwan-Hee Yoo

We met today 21 October 2009. Attendees are Myeong Won Lee,
Gun Lee, Dick Puk and Don Brutzman. Also briefing at the end was
Kwan-Hee Yoo(Chungbuk National University, Korea).

First, it is very important that these documents get posted to the website.
I don't think the attachments are likely getting through by email.
Looking at the email archive shows that many things are scrubbed.

Please ensure that the presentations are available in the Web3D Chapter
document folder, online for members at

Gun Lee will help upload these many documents. If there are still upload
problems, then webmaster Leonard Daly is the person to help fix them.

Thank you for posting the specification draft. Please ensure that it is
in the online document directory as listed in previous step. It is a
good addition to the slideset that is already there explaining and
showing how things work.

The X3D project on sourceforge is available at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/x3d
You are now added as a member. To update, please
check out subversion archive for X3D Basic,
developer instructions are at
https://sourceforge.net/projects/x3d/develop
so the directory you want is
cd C:\www.web3d.org\x3d\content\examples\Basic
svn co https://x3d.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/x3d/content/examples/Basic
Basic
stay in directory PhysicalUnits, let us edit/add/replace those files
inspectable versions are available at
http://x3d.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/x3d/www.web3d.org/x3d/content/examples
/Basic/
There are many online tutorials for using subversion, we can send something
if you like.

This issue and the draft specification prose is being discussed on the
x3d mailing list.

These will be uploaded as described in paragraph 1 above.

Unfortunately Gun has not yet received comments about these nodes.
He would like to begin implementing them, likely using CyberX3D for C++.
http://www.cybergarage.org/vrml/cx3d/cx3dcc/index.html
He will contact the owner, Satoshi Konno in Tokyo.
Johannes and Yvonne, Fraunhofer has some similar nodes. Have you
you looked at this? Should there be a conference to discuss the
nodes before he implements? Please advise what you think.
Feedback from other browser implementers is welcome also. Please advise.
> 4. Other standardization items proposed

We will discuss this during the next meeting.

This proposal is now withdrawn.
> - Mobile X3D functions (Gun Lee, SC24 London meeting, Jul. 7, 2009)
Actually this was by Myeong Won. We will review this at the next meeting.

I plan to visit both ADD and Korea Naval Academy with Dr. Kim.

> PM: M&S Center of ADD hosted by Soonhung Han and Chang Moon Myung
> ETRI
>
> Dec. 11 (Fri) ADD in Chinhae hosted by Youngjoo Kim at NPS
I will ask Youngjoo about hotel there and about ETRI visit.
> Dec. 12 (Sat) to Seoul (Seoul Palace Hotel)
>
> Dec. 13 (Sun) from Seoul to Singapore
Yes this is all correct. Thank you.
Our next meeting Korea chapter meeting is planned for
