PhD 3D Engine - Conclusion

I have finally written an article on my website about the engine I have developed for My PhD thesis. This engine made my life easier as a PhD student.

I have learned a lot during its development:

• first shadow mapping, virtual indirection cubemap
• first scripting integration
• first record/replay

I was then able to quickly:

• design my experiments using scripting
• build environments under Maya+MentalRay
  
• record user's actions in the VE
• extract meaningful data for analysis
  

And finally, I was able to put nice screenshots in my papers and became a doctor! :)
