Having mesh optimization in core

[rendermagic]

Lord,

Please modify the following files for me since I don't have commit access. If you can provide me with a luxconsole.exe build in win32 and win64 binaries, I can test on my Windows machines. Presently, I have only test on Linux.

1. (paramset.cpp) Insert after line 719
   
   

   Code: Select all

   
      if (s == "center_stl_000")
         AddBool(s, (bool*)(params[i]));


   
   
2. (stlmesh.cpp) Insert after line 48
   
   

   Code: Select all

   

   bool bCenterStl000 = params.FindOneBool("center_stl_000", false);


   
   
3. (stlmesh.cpp) Insert after line 221
   
   

   Code: Select all

   
   if (bCenterStl000)


I will revise the wiki page on the scene file after the commit. Basically, the param in the scene file will be a boolean for the attribute 'center_stl_000'. True will center the STL mesh and a false will not.

Thanks, that was exactly what I'm looking for !

trying to find my mesh 3 meter away ...

Excellent...glad you enjoy the enhancement

I also have another enhancement I was thinking about providing: auto scaling for STLs. But, I have no idea if anyone would be interested in it.

I haven't tested on Windows or OSX. It should work though. If you can commit the auto centering feature to the repo, I can test the next time a Windows build is generated. I haven't yet tackled compiling on Windows...I've only compiled on Linux.

Sorry for the delay, been really busy lately. I'll make the mods tomorrow.

Okay, no problem.

Ok pushed the changes. I changed the name of the parameter to "recenter_mesh", as we might want to use it for ply files and similar as well. Hope this is ok, if not we can discuss a better one

Again, sorry for the delay

No worries...I like the name you have chosen. Good thinking!
