August 21th, 2013 at 5:00pm PDT, Agenda and Minutes
From Web3D.org
Attendees: Myeong Won Lee, Joe Williams, Don Brutzman, Dick Puk, William Glascoe
Agenda:
1. Regular meeting times
On August 7, Joe mentioned: Let's meet every Wednesday. Once a month is not enough for what we need to do. Based on Joe's request, the regular H-Anim meeting will be held every Wednesday at 5pm PDT. I may or may not be able to attend each week, due to the inflexibility of my work schedule. If I have no other meetings (e.g. Korea Chapter, CAD, AR, e-Learning) to attend in a given week, I will attend the H-Anim WG meeting. However, I encourage any H-Anim WG member to give prior notice and hold an H-Anim WG meeting whenever they feel it is necessary to speed up the progression of agenda items.
2. Th e 10 H-Anim game characters
- updated and uploaded to the H-Anim Wiki http://web3d.org/wiki/index.php/H-Anim#Resources http://www.web3d.org/membership/login/documents/navega.php?PHPSESSID=fe89f0184573c6c3409ecbd4a9b3697f&dir=.%2FH-Anim%20WG http://www.web3d.org/membership/login/documents/accion.php?PHPSESSID=fe89f0184573c6c3409ecbd4a9b3697f&dir=.%2FH-Anim%20WG%2FAll10Characters All characters have been scaled with (scale 0.0225 0.0225 0.0225). All characters display properly in both BS Contact and Octaga. However, I still don't fully understand why we have to manually insert this scaling into the x3d files. - personalitiies requested by Don ==> under consideration. These will be fabricated as the characters were generated as generic avatars for a VR edutainment game with no distinct personality traits at the time of generation.
3. Resolution problem in wrl and x3d
- resolution comparison between max, wrl, and x3d - Ideally, general graphics tools should generate wrl files with high resolution - or, wrl and x3d browsers should display them in high resolution - or, the wrl-to-x3d converter should insert the CreaseAngle value? Should the wrl-to-x3d H-Anim conversion include a value for CreaseAngle?
How should this value be determined?
