Guess what, it's my bachelor thesis

Interactive design of complex objects from thin shells - Bachelor Thesis

This repo contains my bachelor thesis. It's about bending/cutting/connecting a virtual sheet of paper. I remember it as being fun to do, though the cutting tool had me wrangle with a few (literal) corner cases.

The report is bachelor_thesis_wiggerl.pdf in the main folder here.

What follows is the README from the original project, in case you want to give it a try.

Getting Started

Windows

If you are on Windows, you can use the easyFirstSetup.cmd script. It gets the required thirdparty dependencies and runs cmake.

0. (clone this repository)
1. Install Visual Studio: https://www.visualstudio.com/
2. Install CMake: https://cmake.org/download/
3. Run easyFirstSetup.cmd (e.g. by double clicking the script)

Now there is a folder build where you can find the Visual Studio solution SCP.sln. Open it in Visual Studio and build!

Mac OS and Linux

There is no easyFirstSetup script for Mac OS or Linux. You will have to obtain and compile the thirdparty libraries yourself, following the guide below.

Build

This section describes how to get the thirdparty libraries and set up the build system. The build system of SCP uses CMake and git submodules (where possible). Libraries that are not cloned via git submodules need to be obtained and compiled by the user, as described below.

First make sure you have git and cmake:

• CMake: Install latest release (> 3.5) from https://cmake.org/download/
• Git: Install from https://git-scm.com/downloads or use a

Thirdparty Libraries

Windows

Note: For Windows users, there is a convenience repository that contains all the required precompiled thirdparty libraries: https://bitbucket.org/scoros/libs. You can clone this repository and put it in the same folder as your SCP repository: folder/scp, folder/libs. The CMake scripts will always first check the folder/libs for thirdparty libraries.

Linux (Mac OS, untested)

This guide will be for Ubuntu or other debian-based distros.

Graphics

Depending on your system, you should install the correct OpenGL libraries, e.g.: sudo apt-get install xorg-dev libglu1-mesa-dev

Blas / Lapack

sudo apt install libblas3 libblas-dev liblapack3 liblapack-dev

Gfortran

sudo apt install gfortran

GTest

sudo apt install libgtest-dev

Build the gtest libraries and copy them to /usr/local/lib/:

cd /usr/src/gtest
sudo cmake CMakeLists.txt
sudo make
# copy or symlink libgtest.a and libgtest_main.a to your /usr/local/lib folder
sudo cp *.a /usr/local/lib

MA27

1. Get MA27 from http://www.hsl.rl.ac.uk/download/MA27/1.0.0/a/
2. Build it:

./configure
make 
sudo make install

OOQP

1. Get OOQP from http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~swright/ooqp/download/
2. Apply OOQP hash patch:
   1. Get it from https://gitlab.ethz.ch/snippets/24 (click on the download icon, save as OOQP_hash.patch)
   2. Apply patch to OOQP folder: patch -p0 < OOQP_hash.patch
3. Build OOQP:

MA27LIB=/usr/local/lib/libma27.a ./configure
make
sudo make install

ODE

1. Get ode-0.13 from https://sourceforge.net/projects/opende/files/ODE/0.13/.
2. Build it:

 	CXXFLAGS=-fpermissive ./configure
   	make
   	sudo make install

FreeType (https://www.freetype.org/):

sudo apt install libfreetype6 libfreetype6-dev

Compilation

1. Clone this repository
2. Run git submodule update --init --recursive
3. Generate build files. In the cloned folder do:

mkdir build && cd build
cmake -DNANOGUI_USE_GLAD=1 ..

NANOGUI_USE_GLAD makes sure we use glad.

4. Compile

make -j12

Notes: If your GPU driver can't create a OpenGL context in compatability mode, run CMake with SCP_GUI_TWO_WINDOWS=1 cmake ..
