!Weekly Progress
!!2012-04-29
* Done so far: Some CSG VolumeSource, untested 3d texture VolumeSource, generating an Octree out of the volume with debug visualization
* Forked Ogres Repo
* Ported playground project from own application to an Ogre sample project
* Adjusted all code to Ogres style guide
* Wiki page created

More warmup and making a comfortable environment.
* SDKTray TextBox, Main Sample class is registered as LogListener and fills it.
* Checkbox for showing and hiding the octree.
* Hotkey "h" hides/shows all UI elements, nice for screenshots.
* Read the first half of "Effective C++" 3rd edition to brush up my C++ knowledge. Highly recommended book!

As the Summer of Code hasn't officially started yet and also my Thesis waits for some formal stuff, I tackled
mostly stuff which is nice but not super directly relevant to the LOD isosurfacing: Triplanar Texturing! And
some other small stuff. :)
* Triplanar Texturing with a small test-mesh, implemented as CG shader.
* Finished "Effective C++". Now that went into detail...
* Began a DualCell class which currently just holds 8 corners and can add them to a manual object for debug visualization. Next step is to traverse the octree and generate the duall cell grid.
