More OpenGL Progress
First watch, 6 bells (11:09 pm)

Today I had a cow-orker create a chamfered rectangle in 3DS Max (it's extremely simple, the chamfered box is a primitive object with its own button) and save it as a .obj file.

I wrote some code to import the format and display that instead of the simple cube that I hand-coded to get started. Anyway, the new object looks awesomeway better than the perfectly square edges of the old model. Enough chatting, see for yourself:

Old model: 12 vertices, 10 faces
New model: 104 vertices, 204 faces

Last dog watch, 1 bell (6:32 pm)

I just picked up a bag of Pistachio Crisps (notice the friendliness to the English!) at Costco on my way home. I can't keep my hand out of the bag—they're terrific!*

*Warning: May contain nuts.
