Generative Mesh Tutorial

[mikewesthad]

Hey all!

My tutorial, in mostly drafted form, is up here.

The third section still needs to be written up with code, and I need to reread the first two sections, but I'd love any feedback on what's up there.

Rockin!

Like you suggested @bakercp, I added a section at the end that includes some links to other generative meshy projects but images >>> pictures.

Is there a policy on showing images of other people's works in a tutorial? I don't imagine that anyone would have a problem with their work being shown - though I can email and ask for permission. I'm more worried that showing a couple projects means not showing everyone's projects. Then egos can get involved and all that.

[bakercp]

Don't worry about egos. Just make sure you find them compelling and make
sure the creators are cited. :)

Mmm, compelling might be too stringent of a criteria. But citations will definitely be there.

[bakercp]

One thing -- quickly -- I just noticed that you cite "HubbleMesh.cpp" and
"HubbleMesh.h" -- I'm not completely sure that project generator will
automatically name the files like that ... which might cause confusion. I
think by default it would be ofApp.h/cpp or testApp.h/cpp ... perhaps I'm
wrong though?

Doh, good point. The dev version defaults to ofApp and the public version defaults to testApp, right? I'll probably edit it to just say header (.h) and source file (.cpp)

[bakercp]

Yeah, that's good (header / source file).

Dude, this tutorial is amazing. I'm proud!

I suddenly understand how powerful indicies are in a way that I didn't
before :)

The animated gifs are really important.

is another good example if you're still looking.

Thanks!

Oh, I completely forget about his work. It's so visually arresting that it definitely has to go in there.
