ArcheOS Hypatia 3DHOP package (call for testing)

This short post is related with the previous one (about Nexus) and it is a call for testing for the deb binary package (arm64) of 3DHOP, the software developed by the Visual Computing Lab (CNR-ISTI, Pisa - Italy) to create interactive and multi-resolution web-galleries of 3D objects.

Here below you can see just an example of a gallery related with conflict archeology (WW 1), which we are developing in these days.

Example of a 3D web-gallery with 3DHOP (work in progress)

Being a Debian Jessie derivative distro, ArcheOS Hypatia will install 3DHOP in the folder /var/www/html/3dhop-3.0.
The best way to practice with this software is to modify the code of the different examples the package comes with (they are placed in /var/www/html/3dhop-3.0/examples).
For people that wants to help ArcheOS development and test this package, I upload it here. Soon we will prepare also 32-bit packages.

I hope this package will be useful! Merry Christmas and Happy new year!

PS

Marco Callieri (Visual Computing Lab - CNR-ISTI) notified me that Nexus and 3DHOP are under development right in these days, so there will be probably a new version in a short time. As soon as there will be changes, I will update the packages with the new functionalities.

Nexus 3 videotutorial

In order to help people in testing Nexus package for ArcheOS Hypatia (see the related post), I just recorded a fast videotutorial to show how this simple tool works.

Please note that the videotutorial refers to ArcheOS Hypatia's package, where Nexus binaries are stored in /usr/bin (so that they can be start from any path in the terminal). If you compiled your Nexus version somewhere in your home folder, than probably you will have to activate the binary from that directory.

Here below is the short video; I hope it will be useful.

Soon I will upload also the new 3DHOP package for ArcheOS Hypatia, with some instruction about it.

Have a nice day! 

ArcheOS Hypatia Nexus package (call for testing)

Hi all,

Since we are working on a project related with a 3D gallery of WW1 remains, we are using the 3DHOP application (which has been also suggested by Nicola Schiavotiello in the ArcheOS-dev Mailing List), developed by the Visual Computing Lab of the CNR-ISTI (Pisa - Italy). In order to exploit the full potential of this software it is useful to use the tool Nexus (see the related issue in ArcheOS github) , to create batched multiresolution mesh structures (to enable Level of Details  - LoD - visualization). 

An example of simple visualization in 3DHOP

For this reason, today I took the occasion to build a simple binary package (for amd64), to be tested for ArcheOS. If someone wants to help in testing the package, it can be downloaded here. Please report in the comment of this post your feedbacks. 

Thank you all!

LAST UPDATED 2016-01-29

In order to implement the two new packages in ArcheOS Hypatia in a short time, we changed the architecture field of the control file of 3DHOP deb package to let it work with all the machines, while we compiled a new i386 package for Nexus. If you want to test the new packages, here are the new files:

3DHOP (architecture all)

Nexus (architecture i386)
Nexus (architecture amd64)

Soon we will update archeos-meta in order to implement these two software.

Any help in packaging is much appreciated!
