Project Title: Mesh Editor
Student: Samah Majadla
Mentor:
Abstract:
The final product of this project would be a GUI tool that would allow a user to edit meshes interactively within PySoy. PySoy is a 3D cloud game engine that has been developed for Python. While users can currently create and edit meshes, they can only do so by using the interactive Python prompt; having a user interface to work with would make using PySoy to edit meshes much simpler.
Timeline:
April 20 – May 22
I would like to start getting more familiar with PySoy, as well as with Genie. Create and edit a couple of meshes, and map out how they would best be translated into a GUI tool.
May 23 – June 6
Layout the basic user interface. Tools that I would like to start implementing:
- Create mesh (with different options: cube, sphere, how many edges/vertices/faces)
June 7 – June 21
Finish up the create mesh tool. Tools that I would like to implement:
- vertex/face selector
- move vertex/face
June 22 – July 6
Tools that I would like to implement:
- Expand/shrink mesh
- edit normals
July 7 – July 15 (Mid-term evaluation deadline)
- Submit mid-term evaluation
- If any of the tools haven’t been completed at this point, use this week to finish them.
- Deal with any unforeseen complications.
- If there are none, start working on the delete vertex/vertices tool.
July 16 – July 30
Tools I would like to implement:
- Delete vertex/face tool
- Change material
July 31 – August 14
Tools I would like to implement:
- perhaps a split face tool?
- insert new vertex?
August 15 – August 26 (Final evaluation deadline)
I would like to use this two week period to finish up my final evaluation and deal with any problems that may come up during the summer.
About me:
Hello! I’m a sophomore at Mount Holyoke College, and am a Studio Art and Computer Science double major. I am extremely interested in graphics and animation, and would like to get more involved in game development.
