Create a Torus Model and Diagram
completed by: Sharan
mentors: Sean
BRL-CAD provides a couple dozen distinct primitives. Each primitive is defined by a set of parameters. We'd like to have each primitive modeled with diagramming arrows and labels.
This task involves creating a torus and modeling the corresponding arrows/segments for all parameters. Scalars should be dashed lines, vectors should be arrows. Here's an example:
- http://brlcad.org/~starseeker/gci_primitive_figures/
Make something like that for the torus, but with different material properties. That example put objects into a box for a particular visual effect. See if you can get a better effect without the exterior box (you'll have to change shader properties).
Submit your .g file and a ray traced rendering/diagram of the model. This command run within mged may help:
