Summary: upgrade blank graphics load

Created: 2012–08–17 09:36

Status: Released

Category: Request

From: frankie

Version: 2.2

Released_In: 2.3

Description:

often times, when folks are building a load from scratch, they use the blank graphics load (./run_blank_graphics).

This load is truly barebone, but there are some features which many find they would like to add in without lots of config file work, such as ideal lighting, shadow support, a simple model they can see and move, etc.

This is a request to upgrade the blank load to have a very simple scene that can be used as a better building block for new loads.

It now has a simple floor and three spheres, but most of the speedy and planet2 settings are all there so without any configuration people can use things like shadows, ideal lighting, etc. Also, if someone wants to quickly visualize some parameters from a sim, the three spheres can be useful for that.
