Hi!

I've just released the first version of vasaro.
It's a simple program I wrote to create 3d printable vases.

It's written in D (of course). It uses derelict-gl, derelict-sdl and gtkd.

It should work on linux, macOS and Windows.

A special thanks to Adam Ruppe and his SimpleDisplay library I used on earlier versions :)

Feel free to test it!

Pretty cool, thx for sharing! I watched the demo and had an extremely superficial glance at the code too; seems to make D look good, as it deserves, so thanks for that as well. :)

Thank you!

I forgot to ask you all to upvote on reddit ;)

why you go gtk in the end?

Looks nice. I'll give it a go when I plug my 3d printer.

Why use derelict-sdl if you use gtkd already?

Waiting for your feedback.

Good question. Gtk doesn't support opengl2.
Why do I use OpenGL2?
- I don't know ogl3
- I just need basic 3d features
- It works everywhere (also on VM I use to test it)

I replaced simpledisplay with sdl. Gtk doesn't support opengl2 so I needed a way to display the rendering window.

Simpledisplay works fine for me (and it works better than sdl for mouse input) but it requires X11 on macOS if i'm right: macOS' users don't like X11 (and this force users to install a big dependency)

If it was only for linux+win, simpledisplay would be the choice!

Make sure it prints watertight before using the vase for fresh flowers :-)

This is a very impressive project and I'll follow it just to see where it goes.

I have zero to no experience with 3d printing so I can't really relate much to it.

Nice, when does the version with genetic algorithms come out? ;)

JK, of course, demo looks good.
