Sounds like a great idea once @mkoval and @psigen agree. It'd also be nice to have a YouTube video that showcases the viewer. People like videos :).
I'm strongly in support, it's a very useful plugin... but first we need documentation.
Happy to help write that up.
Yep. Very happy and willing to write documentation and make videos whenever we want to do this.
The documentation is looking better and better now. What's left before we can announce this? (btw we already have an invention disclosure.)
I'm going to go ahead and rename this repository/package to or_rviz, like we discussed. At that point I think we're ready to release it.
I just did the rename in #17. I also imported master
of the old or_rviz repository as the branch backup/or_rviz
and renamed the old repository to or_rviz_backup.
@mklingen Can you take a look? Assuming that contains everything we care about, I'll delete the backup repository.
It'd be great if Matt could make a video that showcases the features of the visualizer and put it on our lab's YouTube channel.
@siddhss5 will do.
I made a couple of youtube videos:
Those look awesome! Maybe throw them together and slap a title slide á la the or_ompl demo video [0] and be done with it?
Those videos look great! I agree with @cdellin: it would be great if you could combine the two videos and add title slides or overlays to explain what's going on.
I made an integrated video. It will be up here soon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3trBTwgC4fo&feature=youtu.be
There is a bit of minor frame skipping because of the .ogv to .avi conversion messing up.
There's a massive drop in resolution in this video and it looks very blocky. Can you fix that? Otherwise, looks good. Sidd.
Sidd, I think that Youtube just hasn't finished processing it in HD yet. It only displays at 480p.
Nvm, I messed up and uploaded a 480p video. Re-rendering.
re-uploaded a 720p video. Will be live here when done: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUA3jc7CAoI&feature=youtu.be
That looks great! I think we should make an announcement on openrave-users.
@siddhss5 Is that okay with you?
I'd like to see the final video before doing that.
@siddhss5 Did you see @mklingen's second video? I don't see any resolution issues in that one.
Aha, awesome, let's go with it. @mkoval, could you please type it out and sent it to the gang for confirmation before emailing it to openrave-users
?
I just sent you a draft of the announcement via email. Let me know what you think.
@mklingen The YouTube video has the incorrect URLhttp://github.personalrobotics/or_rviz
on the title slide. Could you change this to https://github.com/personalrobotics/or_rviz
?
@mkoval I covered up my mistake with an ugly annotation.
What do you think about putting a post on OpenRAVE users about this? I think people would find this useful.
