Project Overview

MatEdit is a user-friendly graphics material editor that will allow a developer to adjust and preview material properties on an object. These basic properties currently include diffuse, ambient, and specular colors. MatEdit has a pre-loaded library of textures for the programmer to choose from and will have the option to import textures in the future. Once the programmer is satisfied with his adjustments, MatEdit can generate the appropriate code to achieve this special look.

Goals for this quarter

Completed

• Generate a library of textures for the programmer to choose from
• Add open/save options to the GUI
• Add the ability for programmers to change variable names in code generation

Installation

1. Open up a terminal, cd to the directory where you saved the file, and extract the file with tar -xvzf [filename].tar.gz.
2. Then enter cd MatEdit/Releases and run make clean and then make.
3. If everything compiled, run MatEdit with ./MatEdit
4. Have fun!

Screenshots

Current Versions for Download

MatEdit 1.02

Updates from MatEdit 1.01

• Added OK and Cancel buttons to Variable Names window
• Fixed bug where object would spin continuously when you move the slider
• Fixed bug where code for textures is generated when no textures are used
• Removed the presets tab since this tab has nothing so far.

Current bugs found and will be fixed in next version

• Saved files will only open properly when the programmer doesn't import any new textures to the texture library. Otherwise, segmentation fault will be thrown when the user opens the same .mat file in a new instance of MatEdit.
