Week of 7/30/2014-8/5/2014

It has been the final week as a summer research assistant!

• Summary of the project 

I wrote a summary document of the project and it is available here.
Also, an interactive demo is available here.

• Knitting application 

 A knitting application is implemented as follows. This application uses a lot of small 3D objects, so it is a  good performance benchmark. It draws 11 * 21 * 2 = 462 cones in about 3 seconds on my laptop (ThinkPad T430s).

This application consumes about 30% of CPU even after the rendering and makes the user interface somewhat slow. To speed up the rendering speed, we may need to use WebGLRenderer instead of CanvasRenderer, which we are currently using.
