=== 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
