OpenGL 3D Capture

Synopsis: Rather than write CAD file translation between two applications, we require a new extension to dynamically grab the 3D scene content from running OpenGL applications. The 3D scene content consists of geometry, color, transformations, model parts, etc. Once the geometry is captured it needs to be passed into an existing C++ library dealing with 3D geometry. The trigger will be the "Print Screen" button over the application window. This project will use one of several possible Open Source OpenGL intercept methods, chosen from [login to view URL] OGLE, OpenGL Capture [login to view URL] Distributed Cluster OpenGL [login to view URL] GL Intercept [login to view URL] Bugle gl2ps We currently favour Chromium for license and completeness reasons. The destination proprietary C++ library website is referenced at [login to view URL] Bidders can download a trial version from that site. The resulting source code should build without errors or warnings on Windows XP, Visual Studio 2005 C++. No GUI is needed, just a simple command line program will be fine. A technical implementation report describing the interface architecture is also needed. Prerequisites: Visual Studio 2005 C++ Compiler, Windows XP Skills: Strong C++ programming experience, 3D Geometry, OpenGL, Good systematic development skills, 3D mathematics and geometric, transormation skills helpful, familiarity with 3D graphics APIs. ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done, with technical documentation explaining implementation. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows? (depending on the nature? of the deliverables): a)? For web sites or? other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment. b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software? installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law. Buyer will receive exclusive and complete copyrights to all work purchased.
