Roadmap

This is very incomplete at current but should give you a sense of ongoing work

We are working to get a compiled version of Sirikata made available for 7/22/09

Sirikata content tools

version 0.01

• Anticipated release date: 7/22/09

General:

• save scene
• Tested and distributable on Windows
• Produce Screenshots
• Determine which features from our design sketches and ideas are most likely doable for our current deadline
• Rank features weighted by what's easiest and which are most important to needs of the Augmented Museum

Objects:

• import
• drag/drop on Windows
• key/text input on other platforms
• local upload
• placement and scaling w mouse
• orientation (Dan and Patrick to talk) [dan: this issue is somewhat alleviated by scene.csv, but still needs a tweak]
• delete
• decent lights in scene.txt

Features for a later deadline

• Undo
• CDN Upload
• Object Placement, Orientation and Scaling
  • text tweaking (scene.txt - key to reload scene file)[dbm: all that is left to do is reload scene.csv]
• object properties (for now, physics properties: collision, dynamics, hull type)
• Scene.csv format (Dan Miller)
  • Convert from scene.txt
  • Add grouping

Lights:

• placement
• direction (kind of like rotation, but it would be much more intuitive to have them 'point' at a 3D location, perhaps using a selected object?
• attributes (directional, specular, ambient?? whatever)
• Light trigger (off/on)

MiTo Specific Object requests:

• Looped animation of translation
• rotating infinitely in a single direction
• rotate 1 direction then return to origin loop repetition infinitely (like a hammer swing)
• Scatter
• select a series of objects and have them scatter from a central axis/point (explode effect)
• Cell or Bounding Box of a mesh coordinates and player coordinates sent out to OSC
