Merry christmas

In Japan a Christmas day is not a holiday but the New Year's day takes the role, like people gathering at their grandma's house and having a big dinner. Today is my last working day this year. I'm going to go to my parents' house and get scratches on my wrists (*).

I wish you a Merry Christmas.




(*)This one scratches.

SIGGRAPH ASIA

The company I'm working for as a freelance is going to exhibit their new GI renderer (at fixstars' booth, E22).

Company web site (Japanese)
CEO/CRO(chief rendering officer) blog (partially English)
CTO blog (Japanese)

fixstars is a company they are working with, which beta released their OpenCL compiler today

And one of my ex-workmate is going to make a presentation (hey Mihai!) about the crowd simulator project we were working on.

Early Preview

What I've been making. Written in pure Python (and wx). Currently it's working only on Linux. I'm also making windows version but it's still quite buggy.

Finding missing files in a sequence.












Fancy template


















Image node








List union/intersection node








Macro example


















union/intersection node code


















Opens every files in a directory, replaces every occurrence of string ".jpg" to ".png", save it to the same file.








System command example.
directory node outputs a list of containing files,
getElement takes list and outputs the elements one by one,
systemCommand executes it, outputs the result

Hey, I'm not dead

I'm a little bit busy these days and cannot update this blog.
Currently I'm making something interesting, (not a CG stuff,
but general thing).
I'll show it here when time comes.

Real World Haskell

Several month ago I wanted to learn a functional programming and chose Emacs Lisp as a language (see the results A and B), but ELisp was not a good language for me to learn it since I can write any script procedurally. When I said I like languages which are simple and elegant and easy to read, a guy working with me recommended OCaml but it's not good to learn a functional programming with a language that supports procedural way of programming for a lazy man like me. So I chose Haskell. It is used at my workplace so learning it is also practical. I looked at several haskell tuts on the web and found Real World Haskell to be the easiest to read. So far I'm enjoying it but I don't know if I can finish it since priority of learning a functional programming is still not high.
Note: Real World Haskell seems to expect the readers should have a basic knoledge of Python and C.

Cross platform editor written in Python

http://editra.org/

It's written in Python, It seems to have all the features of wx.STC, multi-lingualized, it has launchers, and it comes with so many lexers 68k assembly, Apache conf, Haskell, LaTex, Lisp, Lua, Matlab, R, Objective-C, VHDL, YAML, ... ofcourse Python.

It's still version 0.5 but looks promising.
