3D Interface

A prototype for a user-friendly 3D interface allowing to browse 3D scenes / models written with Node.js.

It is hosted by OpenShift at 3dinterface.no-ip.org.

To run a local server

Database setup

First you need to configure the database. You can create a postgres database where you want, and you can initialize it by running the script sql/backup.pgsql.

Nodejs configuration

Then, you have to set up nodejs to access to your database. Basically, you have to create a file private.js at the root of the repository looking like this :

module.exports.url = ... // the url to connect to your database

module.exports.secret = ... // A secret string used to hash stuff

Compiling the static js files

There are two ways to compile the static js files :

  • either you don't mind not minifying the code, and you can use compiler.sh to compile
  • or you absolutely want to minify the code, and you'll need closure-compiler

Compiling without minifying

To compile without minifying, simply run

make

in static/js.

Compiling and minifying

To compile and minify the js files, you have to run

make TYPE=RELEASE

If it doesn't work, check in the Makefile that the path to closure-compiler.jar is correct.

Check if it worked

If it worked, you should see lots of files in *.min.js in your static/js directory.

Running the server

As usual with NodeJS, it's quite easy to test. Just ensure you have node installed on your machine, clone this repo somewhere, and then, in the repo do

npm install
node server.js

You should be able to go to localhost:4000 and see the result.

Please note that some static files (some meshes / textures) are not on this repository (especially the heavy ones).
