One reason I'm going the open source route is to work with like-minded people and have the freedom to dream. As I've probably made clear elsewhere in this posting, I can't make a business case for the project. Not one that an

Yes, I know the feeling. My first job after my Symbolics/MIT experience was writing a 3D rendering system in Fortran. :) That would be a dream. One I'm hoping to make happen here.

Usually it was by word of mouth, people learning of my work and contacting me for a software position. The landscape has changed a lot since those times.

I had hoped including a link to the repo would show that it wasn't an empty project, but I could probably have done better. That instruction is indeed outdated. It is from before the system had ASDF. I do need to update the Readme file

I stand corrected.

If memory serves, Nendo was a standalone version of the S-Geometry modeler written in CL, and Wings3D was a clone of Nendo written in Erlang.

Well put. Thank you.

Very cool. I'm always fascinated by DSLs for doing algorithmic art.

Been using it for almost all my personal projects for a few decades now. It's the only language that I don't feel is fighting me when I develop my code.

I find it ironic that instead of adopting ND's unique technology, Sony shut it down and went with standard fare. In business, the platform with the most available "developers" usually wins out. It's very difficult to jus

Ha ha. I talk about my Symbolics/MIT days in early episodes of my blog: https://kaveh808.medium.com Wish I still had the code, for sentimental reasons, but it all went up in a house fire.

Good point. I never thought of the blog posts as documentation.

Thank you. I am thinking of refactoring my existing proof of concept to make it more portable. Currently it's hardwired for CCL and MacOS. Then I may "ship" a release (maybe purely REPL-based) and gather feedback.

I based the menu design on the Symbolics menus, and Wings3D is a descendant of S-Geometry in spirit. I wanted a quick way of assigning some colors so I just made a rainbow color ramp. If you mean the red color for selection, then yes that w

Not sure if it's nerd points or just old age. ;)

I echo that sentiment regarding macros. Worthy of further exploration.

by kaveh808 4y ago
You are absolutely right. And I don't have a logical argument as to why this will actually go somewhere. At best, all I can say is "If you build it, they might come." I wrote about this in my blog a while back, if you can sto

Ha ha, thanks. I know 3D graphics, but I realize there are folks out there who know a lot more than I do in their respective fields. And I hope to tap into that knowledge. It's going to take a team to do this project.

Good point. I need better marketing. Or a marketing team. :) I'll work on a promotional video.

Calling all those interested in being a part of this.

The choice of GUI (and most everything else) is up for discussion. We've even had some ideas already on Reddit (r/lisp). Options include McClim, CLOG, or bare OpenGL. The only thing I'm not up for debating is the use of Commo

That is totally fine. Message me (kaveh808 on Reddit) and I'll be in touch as we get going.
