This assignment is a short voyage to "Blocklandia", where both the people and the world are made of 3D blocks :o)
Notice that 90% of modern buildings (in Europe and Far East) are made this way. In case it is different, make an approximation of your home to this model.
Starting from a single "diagram" (a 3-array of 3D blocks), proceed to detail a 3D model of the place where you live (the apartment of your family, probably), according to the method of mapping a new diagram in a cell of a "master" diagram.
You may use either pyplasm operators or LAR objects, mixing-up both, or developing your own primitives. We suggest using the sysml.py
module from lar-cc
. Notice that a fresh update has been just committed (pull
the new version!).
The programming assignment must be produced in Python language, using the Pyplasm
module for Python and/or the LAR
project.
The homework is strictly personal, and must be worked out by a single student. Violations will be persecuted :o)
Produce a HTML page with
and with
exercise1.py
, exercise2.py
, etc.Generate a 3D model of your apartment, detailing one block at a time;
Make a vertical and horizontal aggregation of several apartments, including a ground floor made using perhaps some curved geometry (with bezier or b-spline curves, surfaces or solids).
Automatize the loop "merging-numbering-elimination" of blocks, shown in lar-cc/test/py/sysml/text04.py
, providing a software interface where a single 3-array of blocks is mapped at the same time against a number of master's blocks.
Make an efficient version of the sysml.diagram2cell
function, that currently is pretty space-inefficient, and does not support the topological requirements of the LAR representation [after merging, common vertices are repeated, and new vertices of the mapped diagram are not inserted in the co-boundary cells].
For each exercise you must produce a corresponding file exercise1.py
, exercise2.py
, etc.
All the .py file must be enclosed within a directory python
. The images within a directory images
. Such directories must be contained in a directory entitled 2014-05-16
, pushed into the personal GitHub repository of the student: https://github.com/cvdlab-cg/xxxxxx where xxxxxx
is the student ID (matricola).
