Dust3D
|
|
=========
|
|
Dust3D is aim to be a quick modeling tool for game development. Currently the development is in the very early stage.

Idea
|
|
===========

I was inspired by Jimmy Gunawan's blogs of monster generation, here is the first one [INSPIRATION / Pixar Monster Factory Part One](http://blendersushi.blogspot.com.au/2013/06/inspiration-pixar-monster-factory-part.html), and by search the Skin Modifier of Blender, I found the theory of Skin Modifier:

From my initial thought, Dust3D should be a tool like [Makehuman](http://www.makehuman.org), with more versatile features, not only can make human, but also be able to **generate monsters automatically**.

Drawing Sphere
|
|
-----------
|
|
I don't want the whole project have any unnecessary dependent, like glu library.
|
|
Let's start with [drawing a sphere without gluSphere]( http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7687148/drawing-sphere-in-opengl-without-using-glusphere), because I want implement the same balls which presented in the [B-Mesh paper](http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.357.7134&rep=rep1&type=pdf).
