PySoy: Joint Visual: Fixed
completed by: Samuel Kim
mentors: Amaury Medeiros, Arc Riley, Tony Young, David Czech, Mayank Singh
Write a render method for soy.joints.Fixed
such that, when a
material
property is set, a straight square bar is displayed
connecting the two bodies. This should use a simple VBO.
While only 8 verticies are needed (ideally more for slightly rounded edges), they should provide proper normals, texcoords, and tangents such that many different kinds of materials can be used. The texcoords and tangents should wrap around the bar.
This method should be override
to a virtual
method
in soy.joints.Joint
. Scene
will need a list of joints
it contains to render them. As such, the actual render function is easy while
setting up the rendering chain with Scene
may take a bit longer.
Later Joint Visual tasks will not need to do that work but have more
complex rendering functions.
Update the PySoy bindings for soy.joints.Fixed
for the new
material
property so this can be easily shown and tested.
