Re: [Jrman-user] current status

[Gerardo h. <ma...@gm...>]

I assume that by NPE you mean "NullPointerException". Did you get that
with the sample rib files that come with the jrman 0.3 distribution?
Please note that some of the rib files in the "model" directory are
data files that are included in a scene with the "ReadArchive" command
and are not meant to be rendered by themselves (the README.TXT lists
the files than can be rendered).

Current status:

We have been very busy this year so we weren't able to advance as fast
as we would have liked to, but we
managed to implement:

1. Patch meshes
2. All bicubic basis
3. Reduced memory usage on models with a very large number of polygons.
4. Delayed ReadArchive
5. Better handling of parameters for many primitives
6. NURBS (not yet trimmed)
7. More fine tuning (and bug fixing!) in the occlusion culling code

All of the above is in the CVS version and we expect to release jrman
0.4 shortly (in a couple of weeks?)

We also did some work on the shading compiler, but there's still much
to do before we can have something ready to release.
