Plans for the Coming Week

09/21/2009 – 09/27/2009: Continue finding and reading research papers related to hair simulation (both real-time and not). Make an Excel spreadsheet that matches up papers (including when they were written) with the algorithms they discuss. Meet with Joe, Norm, or others to examine algorithms discussed in both NVIDIA book excerpt (Nalu demo) and Connelly’s write-up. Decide whether or not they make a good “base case”. Obtain access to a Linux box (or Windows machine) and choose a C++ environment (if Windows machine, preferably Visual Studio).
