Hey =)

Yeah sorry, a “reduced transform” is sort of my own little thing. It is simply the transform of an object without considering its translation. If it was used to transform a vector, it would be equivalent to
vector = obj3d.transform.deltaTransformVector( vector );
vector = obj3d.reducedTransform.transformVector( vector );
Both are the same.
In the “reduced transform” translation entries x y z are zero.

Of course, using this is not the regular practice for writting shaders, simply something I ‘invented’ and got used to while learning this stuff.

Hi amazing tool thanks for sharing it.

Although im struggling to apply the agal shader in my own code, what exactly is a reduced transform? and how to I access/produce it from the object parameter passed in by the collectDraws() func?

any help would be appreciated

Very nice work! If you wrote this from scratch then that’s awesome! Not too many people could get the math right for PathModifier::apply().

I am looking for some bend functions, seems good to me, get your source code to look, thanks.

Glad you guys like it!! Yeah, that would be a good way to connect to a db, only I don’t have time to do this right now… perhaps I’ll find time soon. Anyway, it would be great if someone came in and gave a hand

so…freakin…cool! As to the database idea- I’ve used AMFPHP to communicate with SQL. Check it out, works great and saves a ton of bandwidth since it serializes everything into bytecode for transfer

hey,
thank you very much for this!
this will help lots of people (like me) who struggle with AGAL.
and yeah, the ability to save & share would be really neat.

AGALtheMEaN shall fall!

yeah the demo is fantastic. I’m with McFunkypants on the feature wishlist. It would be super helpful for learning AGAL to see the shader source that is getting generated by the UI controls. Really nice app you’ve got working there

Hey Choons,

Well, this is what I collected from the google search I did at the time:

AGALtheMEaN is progressing nicely, ping me if you want to be it’s first beta tester =D
