| diana_coman: | mircea_popescu: eric lengyel answered my email and questions re his formats and font library but quite closing it there as it were. | [03:46] |
| diana_coman: | do you want me to follow up in some way? | [03:47] |
| diana_coman: | oh, and he sent me the link to his font rendering library for the demo which is windows only (I had seen the link and at first I didn't realise why I hadn't seen the demo - until I scrolled and found out why,namely windows only). | [03:54] |
| diana_coman: | he does say in answer to one of my questions that he ("we") is working on a 2D vector graphics format too, OpenVGX, to be able to specify 3D geometry + camera view and then render the result as a 2D diagram. | [03:54] |
| diana_coman: | in his view, assets for run-time loading are best transmitted in binary, engine-specific formats. | [03:54] |
| mircea_popescu: | i'd ask you to follow up by asking whether your assumption is correct ("are you basically closing this conversation, as a side-effect of having too much on your plate already and being overwhelmed by life, generally ? or do i misread the auctorial intent ?") ? | [07:52] |
| diana_coman: | uhm; I don't think he purposefully closed it, just "this was question, here is answer." | [08:16] |
| diana_coman: | I suppose it mirrors to some extent the artists: this was request for art, here is art. | [08:16] |
| diana_coman: | no follow up, no curiosity, or I don't even know how to call it. | [08:17] |
| diana_coman: | I did include in the email links to both my article and S.MG's IPO on MPEx | [08:18] |
| diana_coman: | but essentially yes, I think he is too busy with his own engine to be much interested in anything else. | [08:19] |
| mircea_popescu: | so ask him, what. | [09:02] |
| mircea_popescu: | the best way to find things out from people | [09:02] |
| diana_coman: | very rare when I found out something I didn't know already and not for lack of asking; ftr his answer so far fits exactly what I expected too; I'll ask him though (in my format above as I don't think it works with borrowed statements), for all it will do. | [09:20] |
| ossabot: | Logged on 2020-01-05 16:32:04 diana_coman: eh, he'll just answer / not quite-any. | [09:20] |
| diana_coman: | email sent. | [09:29] |
| diana_coman: | the best way to find thing out from people is to see what they do not what they say but anyways. | [09:31] |
| mircea_popescu: | there is that | [12:34] |
| mircea_popescu: | let's just call it "what they do say" :D | [12:34] |
| diana_coman: | heh, works. | [13:31] |
| diana_coman: | in unexpected golds from reading papers: "This model is the most incoherent of all models presented in this paper, though | [13:41] |
| diana_coman: | it is probably representative for what an advanced computer graphics programmer would use today | [13:41] |
| diana_coman: | I guess it's good that they ...know it? lolz. | [13:42] |
