GSOC Ideas

Core improvements

Spatial Subdivision (aabbtree, bsptree, octree, hybrid, etc.) Camera Collision and Occlusion Culling (architectural scenes)
Paging Loading/Scene nodes with specialized node (terrain pages node)
Webgl 2.0 renderer core engines modification and support (from extensions to tiled-deferred renderer)
Geometry helpers (accessing triangles attributes by index, accessing texture and material property bu triangle/uv, allowing geometry editing, freezing to vertex color, raytracing, geometry algorithms like remeshing, simplification etc)

on the fly js conversion (obj, stl, ply, file format) in ogjs, and display.
"progressive" texture generation & loading in js (mipmap loading with interleaving)
filters post processing chaining framework gui, setup & inline shader editor
light editing: gui and setup (point, dir, spot, env, etc.) & inline shader editor
mesh utilities: vertex reordering, cleaning, vertex painting
automatic uv chart creation
automatic lightmap creation

hotspot: gui and setup
Animation (feature / editor / player): Track, Skeletal, Vertex Morph.
Scene Graph editor (scene nodes à la vvv)
Node Graph editor (shader à la vvv)
Post-processing shaders : SubSurfaceScattering / Skin, Translucent/glass, Heat, ToneMapping
Level Of Detail Nodes (mesh/texture detail upon camera distance)

Volume Rendering (pyramidal scheme)
Temporal shader reprojection cache
Particle System (Feature / editor)
MegaTexture / Virtual Texture
Physics Demo sample / intégration (IK, collision responses, ragdoll)
WEBRTC integration for AR integration: get gamma from webcam estimation, integrate 3d object with AR, head-tracking for parallax, 3D multi-pointer, integrate object in Reality using mobile sensors, etc.
google map street view to extraction to cubemap/spheremap, google map heightmap view to extraction to 3D terrain
Blue print/mechanical automatic parts decomposition / animation
Voxellisation and/or Mesh to Lego 3D automatic conversion + animation: http://lgg.epfl.ch/projects/lego
