Innovation Festival Kortrijk

By Kaetemi on Wednesday 20 October 2010, 19:10 - 3DP

Alright, time for some more useful blog posts again. I went to the exhibition at IF a few days ago, and to some readings they did there this week.

On the first floor of the Budascoop, timelab was demonstrating some of the open hardware projects in 3D printing, including the MakerBot and a RepRap modified by Unfold to print in clay. Here's some HD footage.

Unfold's modified RepRap and some of the object's printed by it:

Some parts printed on the MakerBot in different colors of ABS, which you can buy from the MakerBot website.

The open source miniCNC developed by timelab.

Oh yes, and this is what the MakerBot was printing in the video, about 24 minutes were spent by the machine on making this thing.

Later this week, I'll also visit Interieur 2010 here in Kortrijk, so expect more pictures from that expo as well.

NeLSound XAudio2 Driver (Update)

By Kaetemi on Friday 5 September 2008, 19:51 - NeL

The project to run NeLSound on top of Microsoft's new XAudio2 API is already nearing it's final stages of development. The driver currently implements all basic functionality required by NeLSound, as well as the some of the environment effects (commonly known as EAX), and has support for the OGG Vorbis music format. I am currently working on adding support for the ADPCM sample buffer format used by NeL to the driver, and I will soon work on the rest of the environment effects implementation as well. Also, the new owners of NeL have made available a new official website for NeL over at http://dev.ryzom.com/, and you can browse the code of the new sound driver at http://dev.ryzom.com/repositories/browse/nel/nel/src/sound/driver/xaudio2.

NeLSound XAudio2 Driver

By Kaetemi on Sunday 24 August 2008, 18:21 - NeL

I have recently started working on an XAudio2 driver for NeLSound, which will allow OpenNeL to make use of Microsoft's new XAudio2 sound library (included in the latest DirectX SDK), in addition to the three sound libraries already currently supported by OpenNeL (FMod, DSound and OpenAL). The project currently does not implement all functionality yet, as the rest of the features will be implemented in the coming weeks, but it already runs the sound_sources sample included with OpenNeL pretty nicely without problems. The code can be downloaded from http://nel.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/nel/trunk/nel/src/sound/driver/xaudio2/, and is released, like all other available OpenNeL code, under version 2 of the GNU General Public License.
