Maya, Next work

1) Auto fit & rig skeleton to humanoid 3D characters(done in Automatic Rigging and Animation of 3D characters);

2) Auto fit primitive shapes to deform surface, using the joint placements;

3) Reuse bone weight calcualted in 1) to weighten influence primitives;

4) Reshape premitive shapes to deform 3D surface;

Learn maya, create a standard skeleton. Fitting primitives in maya, keep good structure of the skeleton and primitives.
Using the automatically generated skeleton, map the standard skeleton to the given character mesh. Then use the previous primitive fitting result to fit primitives in the mesh. Relate the primitive and the mesh with weight. Then after you change the primitive, you will change the mesh.
All the above should first be done in Maya. Finally we will convert all the work to Ogre.

1 after 1

Finished the summary writing test, a great hush, in last 20 miniutes, wrote more than a half of the passage...
One opinion flash across my eyes, evreything can be done in a limit period. Long time period does not indicate a good result.
Set time limit to everything you will do! Finish it in the period, then improve it!

The test is over, afternoon is the meeting with supervisor. Make a review of the things done in this week, reprot it to him. Find something to discuss with him. Do things one after one!

"Websites Shed Light on How Humans Value Fresh Ideas"New Scientist (09/11/08); Barras, Colin
Emerging Web sites supplant more established Web sites half the time, a new study from University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) researchers Vwani Roychowdhury and Joseph Kong and the University of Regina's Nima Sarshar suggests. The team visited roughly 22 million Web pages once a month for a year and recorded the number of other pages that link to each page, or its "in-degree." Just under half the pages with the most links were younger pages, and the proportion remained the same when the researchers raised the in-degree value above 1,000. Roychowdhury says the study suggests that the quality of content of a Web site ultimately determines whether it succeeds or fails. "Talent versus experience is difficult to document in a society," he says. "But what we show is that on the Web it can be documented in terms of page popularity--and newborn pages become more popular than older established pages on a regular basis." Search technology could benefit from the analysis, considering many engines use the page in-degree to deliver search results. Still, Roychowdhury acknowledges that ranking pages by the rate of in-degree growth might better reflect the impact of new Web sites.

For search engine, yes! Our research on the relation of shape and human personality also can give search engine a good criteria on picture or video search.

Work

In Flash, the transformation is applied in order: scale->rotation->translate.
And in rotation the angle is in clockwise order. Not conunterclockwise as in common coordinates.

The multiplication of matrices in Maple is M1.M2, not M1*M2!!!!

Feel good

Facing the computer everyday, my eyes really feel unconfortable. Some dry feelness and sore feelings. Everytime watch the screen, really bad! Want to just close the eyes or look the views outside. However, how can I not look at the screen and finish my work? Searching on the net for some eye drops to relief my eyes hour and hour, I find none clue about how and where I can buy some! Gosh, what's more, I have heard that the fee of registeration in National University Hospital is S$90!!! No way to find any helpful information, go to the clinic. Fill in the registeration sheet, I don't know how much it will cost, that's fine, just the first time, have a try. Then take the weight and height test, eyesight test... Really confused, I just want to get some eye drops. See a doctor before getting is Ok, does the weight and height affect my eyes? Wait 20 or 30 minuts, see the doctor no more than 5 minuts, then wait 15 minutes to collect my medicine, oh, really efficeint, ha. S$17.10, ok, that's not high than I have expected. S$10 for consulig and S$6 for the medicine. I should have asked the doctor to give me more, ok, next time. This is the first time seeing a doctor in Singapore.
