Ogre Overlay

change size of debug overlay background for the score area: in c:\NxOgre\bin\Media\Overlays\OgreDebugPanel.overlay, under " container Panel(nx.gui.stats) {...}"

change "height 30" to "height 36" to suit for the bigger TextHeight (font size).

The original OgreDebugPanel.overlay file was backed-up in C:\eunice\MSVC\MS\VirtualMotion_Backup\29Mar07

Exporting mirror object from 3ds Max to Ogre

Posted: Fri Mar 23, 2007 2:07 pm Post subject: exporting mirror object from 3ds Max

I got problem when exporting mirror object. I have a left hand model, and I created a right hand using "mirror selected objects". Then I export the two hands one by one using octopus exporter. It seems both the two exported meshes are left-hand.
I tried LEXIExporter too. Got two left hands too. Any thoughts on this? Thank you

Have you tried to do a Reset XForm on the mirrored object?

Thanks for your reply.
yes, i tried reset XForm, still get two left hands. The only difference is one hand facing +z, the other facing -z.

Try this:
Under editable mesh/poly in the modifier panel select the left hand. Click "Attach". Choose to Attach the right hand model to the left hand. If you need the two hands to be seperate, merely detach the right hand after these steps.
Reset Xform doesnt always work you see... Attaching one model to another is another method of reseting that can be more robust at times.

Impact factor

ISI Web of Science
Journal citation reports
http://portal.isiknowledge.com/portal.cgi?DestApp=JCR&Func=Frame


the journal impact factor is one way authors and readers judge the quality of a publication. Impact factors have been used to assess academic productivity and are sometimes used to evaluate an author. Journal editors are frequently judged by the change in the impact factor of the journal they edit. What is the impact factor and how is it determined? The impact
factor was created in the 1960s to help select journals for the Science Citation Index (2). Today the journal impact factor comes from the Journal Citation Report (JCR), a product of
Thomson Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) (3). The aim of the factor was to develop a scale that allowed small but important review journals to enter the Science Citation
Index. The impact factor of a journal is calculated using two elements: the numerator, which is the number of citations in the literature in the current year to any items published in a
journal in the preceding 2 years and the denominator, which is the total number of substantative articles published in that journal in the same 2 years.

NxOgre development-full screen

NxOgre.0.5.preview.3 (the old version)
in ogre.cfg file in the same folder as the .exe, change
Full Screen=No

change ogre.cfg
Video Mode=1280 x 1024
The HMD works in full screen mode. Horray!!

in NxOgre.0.4.RC.2 (the new version)
change config.yaml file instead.

using the VR1280 HMD
to avoid the 'input out of range' error on the monitor, switch the machine on with the monitor, then swop the display plug to HMD controller and etc.
