My animation compression proposal Animation Compression involve in compression of 3D data so that the size of the work file decease considerably.I prefer use of conventional compression technique which are not used in OGRE but in other 3D softwares to be implemented in OGRE-3D. Name :Anoop Thomas Mathew(atm) Email :atmb4u@ieee.org atmb4u@gmail.com Time Zone: India,GMT +5:30 Deliverables: This is what I aim to do within my 3 months holiday along with you. -I will complete a plug-in for animation compression in C/python for OGRE-3D. ____________________________________________________________________ Project Details * Animation compression Animation Compression involve in compression of 3D data so that the size of the work file decease considerably.I prefer use of conventional compression technique which are not used in OGRE but in other 3D softwares to be implemented in OGRE-3D. Now I am having my exams.So I can't get deep into the topic.But I am sure that I could tackle this problem of animation compression.I am too much interested in 3D and have much experience in 3D softwares like 3DS max and Blender.So I have the concept of 3D software design.It would help me in Animation compression. I will spend lot of time to attain a specific goal so I am so sure that I will be able to develop a plug-in for animation compression. Project Schedule 3 months, from May 2 to July 30. I am having exams till May 1.So till then I will be unavailable. Schedule Phase I- Study different animation compression techniques(1 week) Phase II-Paper works,make up algorithms,which to select,what all variations have to be made etc...(2 weeks) Phase III-Implementation.(3 weeks) Phase IV-Bug Correction,Performance tuning and Documentation.(2 weeks) Emergency-2 weeks Total-12 weeks About me... My bio can be viewed at::http://atmb4u.googlepages.com/cv My portfolio:http://atmb4u.googlepages.com/portfolio NB:To be frank, I've not worked with large software "internals" so I need some warm ups.May be few days... The reasons I put in front of you to select me to your project are: 1. I believe that I have that capacity of being patient, work on the system continuously,for a specific goal. 2. I have really strong determination in doing things,especially in correct time.(not joking, after all this is not the place for joking) 3. I know the following languages well: c,c++,java(certified) and is aware of: python,c#,perl(self study) NB:well doesn't means I am a veteran in it,but know at my level(19 year old boy)-but is willing to study to any level to complete some jobs. 4. I really want support free software community. 5. I've done small projects individually like file encoder and decoder using specific algorithm,a benchmarking software, streamed media transfer and more. 6. I'm doing this for my pleasure not for money(really).Because to work for a company like your's is much prestigious to me. 7. I think i have the capacity to tHink DIFFERENT(imaginative). 8. I am 100% open minded. 9.I'm having 3 months semester gap from May 1 to July 30.When I could focus completely on the project. 10. I am always connected to Internet. 11. At last but not least, I am 100% DEDICATED to the work I do(I swear). 12. I am confident in my C++ and python skill which would be a plus point for me. Any more description about me or my past PROJECTS you can mail me at atmb4u@ieee.org or atmb4u@gmail.com Expecting a quick,positive reply, Anoop Thomas Mathew atmb4u@ieee.org I assure you that I will work for you 24X7 if you pick me out and complete the job which is assigned to me. I have stated my pros and also cons, it's up to you to whether to select me or not. Updates: Q.What exactly is the target of your application (what is the problem domain you want to solve)? A.To compress the entire animations so that much less disk space is utilized by the file while delivering the performance as now.This project will deal with the file operation section of OGRE-3D. Q.What kind of animation compression will you implement, is this for rigid animation, skeletal, vertex, pose, all of them? A.All animations ill b taken into account,and at discussion and decision time only, which all have to be done is fixed. Q.What compression algorithm will you use and why?Have you considered any runtime performance issues, stream and decode issues, memory? A.Of course, I will consider that too at the time of paper works,that is phase II,when I will have plenty of time to discuss about the topic around experts. Q.Will you implement a decode system on Ogre (files must be preprocessed) or a code and decode system? A.It will be a two level system implementing both.A first level will preprocessor the original one and use some temporary ones to store.Then I will implement a code decode system on OGRE.But compression used will be selected such a way that it will not affect the performance of the normal OGRE. Performance will be kept in mind as I have alloted 2 weeks for that.
