Showcase homework - Plasm.js

This homework is NOT mandatory.

It MAY improve your mark up to 3 points.

Following parameters will be considered during evaluation:

• code elegance
• model complexity
• diversity of primitives (Plasm.js)
• execution time

The best works will be exhibited in the Plasm.js showcase.

Instructions

Choose a model (e.g. Pixar Lamp, a chair, Apple iMac/MacPro/MacBook cases, a chess piece, a vehicle, etc.).
Model it in Plasm.js taking care of his details.
Try to reach a trade off between model complexity and code quality.

Delivery

The delivery is required within Sunday, June 2.

The project must be contained in a directory entitled showcase,
pushed into your repository in cvdlab-cg organization https://github.com/cvdlab-cg/xxxxxx
where xxxxxx is your student ID (matricola).

XXXXXX
|
+- showcase
  |
  +- code.js
  +- data.json
  +- node.js
  +- snapshot.jpeg

where XXXXXX is the name of your repository (your matricola)

Four files are required to be delivered: code.js, snapshot.jpeg, node.js, data.json.

code.js

The model must be delivered in a file named code.js.

The entire model must be stored in a variable named model,
you have to be able to:

• display the entire model by running DRAW(model)
• cancel the entire model by running CANCEL(model)

running relative command in the browser console, but
THERE MUST NOT BE a DRAW command in the code.js file.

snapshot.jpeg

A screenshot of the model must be provided as 400x300px jpeg format and named snapshot.jpeg.

PAY ATTENTION:
a screenshot of the model you built in Plasm.js environment is required.
Take a look of Plasm.js showcase to fully understand requirements.

node.js

A node.js file useful to compute your model via Node.js is required.
Simply use the template below:

• paste the content of code.js where indicated
• put you GitHub username where indicated
• put a category for the model where indicated (examples of categories are devices, biologics, vehicles, fornitures, games, buildings, others, ...)

!(function (exports){

  var fs = require('fs');

  var plasm_lib = require('plasm.js');
  var obj = plasm_lib.plasm;
  var fun = plasm_lib.plasm_fun;
  var plasm = obj.plasm;
  var Plasm = obj.Plasm;

  var root = this;

  Object.keys(fun).forEach(function (k) { 
    root[k] = fun[k];
  });

  var p = new Plasm();
  fun.PLASM(p);


  var scmodel = (function () {
  /*///////////////////////////////////////////

  PASTE YOUR CODE HERE

  ///////////////////////////////////////////*/
  return model
  })();

  exports.author = 'PUT_YOUR_GITHUB_USERNAME_HERE';
  exports.category = 'PUT_YOUR_MODEL_CATEGORY_HERE';
  exports.scmodel = scmodel;

  if (!module.parent) {
    fs.writeFile('./data.json', JSON.stringify(scmodel.toJSON()));
  }

}(this));

data.json

A json file data.json of the model is required.
Generate it running the node.js script in Node.js:

$ node node.js

To be able to run Plasm.js in Node.js you should install the plasm.js module:

$ npm install plasm.js

PAY ATTENTION:
DO NOT PUSH node_modules FOLDER
