Huh. Well, it has been a couple years since I last looked, but nothing turned up for me before. > My suggestion is to try to find a general role on a team supporting a rendering product. And then to slowly move into that type of work. Not sure if that's in reference to my background or just a general comment. I do have about three years experience doing graphics programming professionally (1 year computational geometry), and many more doing it as a hobby, so working my way back up to it is not exactly an appealing prospect. I could potentially see that being sensible for me though, depending on details about the job not included in the description. Graphics programming is my deepest specialty, but I am primarily a generalist. For example, here's a video of the CAD tool I architected, built (the features shown), helped design and hire other developers for etc.: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e21tqZebl60 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e21tqZebl60 I am actually concerned that the skill set involved there won't be easily usable to by Google scale companies though--that they'd prefer to have a few specialists for the different aspects of the project instead. So maybe this isn't such a good direction for me.

It was mostly a general comment, but I think an important one. I've been a rendering specialist for about 10 years, and I still occasionally encounter the "rendering" role that expects me to have more knowledge of some special type of hardware or something, and I end up being under-qualified for, it's just that kind of field I guess. Also, cool looking CAD tool!

I like your cad tool - I'm interested in 2D only, but you seem to have nailed the user interaction bits for constrained movement. I'm primarily interested in algorithms/ heuristics for wire drawings (2D ECAD). Do you have any suggestions on where to look for further information?

  Not really unfortunately :/ We were basically winging it without really digging into the research or anything, except for computational geometry algorithms.
