=== Overview ===



Building blocks for generative art and computational design projects.

Ranging from audio-visual interactive installations to generative 

graphic design applications.



For example uses see: http://www.field.io



The library itself builds heavily on top of the Cinder "open source library for 

professional-quality creative coding in C++"



=== FieldKit ===



Provides core math and animation utilities;



* Physics; An extendible verlet particle system that comes with 

  a growing library of animation behaviours.

  

* Math: Common geometry and math utilities that are not already implemented in Cinder.



- Requirements -



* MS Windows 7 + MS Visual Studio 2008 + Service Pack 1

* Apple Mac OSX 10.6.4+ + Apple XCode 3.2

* Cinder - latest version from github

  http://github.com/cinder/Cinder



  

- Optional -



* Mercurial to get latest source from bitbucket.org

  http://mercurial.selenic.com/

  hg clone https://[email protected]/field/fieldkit.cpp



- Installation -



To make sure all headers and libraries can be found by Xcode/Visual Studio place the FieldKit.cpp folder and its dependent libraries next to each other in the same folder e.g. on my OSX machine



~/Documents/Development/Libraries/fieldkit.cpp

~/Documents/Development/Libraries/Cinder (latest version from github)

~/Documents/Development/Libraries/FBXSDK (link to /Applications/Autodesk/FBXSDK2011_3)

~/Documents/Development/Libraries/v8

 



  

=== FBX Kit ===



Simplifies using geometry and animation data from 3D content creation tools 

e.g. Maya, Cinema 4D, 3D Studio Max in realtime applications.



- Requirements -



* FieldKit

* Autodesk FBX SDK 2011.3 (Windows/ Mac OSX/ Linux)

  http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/pc/index?siteID=123112&id=6837478



- Installation Mac OSX -



On Mac OSX the SDK installs to /Applications/Autodesk/FBXSDK$version 

To make sure Xcode can find the header and library files set either:

a) Edit the FBXSDK_PATH user-defined setting in the FBXKit target 

b) Or create a symbolic link to the current SDK next to your fieldkit.cpp folder e.g.

   Open Terminal.app

   $ cd /path/to/fieldkit.cpp

   $ ln -s /Applications/Autodesk/FBXSDK20113_1 ../FBXSDK



=== ScriptKit ===



- Requirements -



* v8 JavaScript Engine



- Installation Mac OSX -



To make sure Xcode can find the header and library files set either:

a) Edit the V8_PATH user-defined setting in the ScriptKit target (if you built v8 previously)

b) Or build v8 next to your fieldkit.cpp folder e.g.

   Open Terminal.app

   $ /path/to/fieldkit.cpp/..

   $ svn checkout http://v8.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ v8

   $ cd v8/

   $ scons mode=release library=static arch=ia32

   $ scons mode=debug library=static arch=ia32
