Miscellaneous Project Information

• Here's an initial release of the new BMG pipeline. It's been tested on IRIX (6.5) and Linux (Red Hat 8.0) and should in theory work on most modern UNIX's. Please send comments/questions/problems to bmg AT lists.csail.mit.edu and mention the release date (currently: July 16, 2003). Some documentation is available here -- more will come soon.
• Here's a tar file of a working openGL CDT package from Dani Lischinski; download it to an SGI/IRIX machine, then run "tar xvf cdt.tar ; cd cdt ; make".
• Within the graphics group, documentation about the project can be found using the CVSROOT /d9/projects, in walkthru/mit/src/documentation.
