An Updated Approach

This week I rewrote some parts of my original design document, and I've up with a more detailed approach for my project. After talking to people who have implemented similar projects, the general advice I gathered was that it was best to ensure basic functionality first, before trying to implement all the details of a paper.

My major goal last week was to read through all the papers and find one that is most relative to my project. Vijay, who worked on the Building Building Builder project from a previous year, recommended Interactive Visual Editing of Grammars for Procedural Architecture, so I've decided to focus on this paper after I've created the tool with some basic functionalities.

As for the work flow, my plan for next week is to finish reading about scripting for and have a basic plug-in running that can create a cube and apply basic transformations (namely scale and rotation). The next step after that would be to add additional faces and edges onto the cube.

I'm really looking forward to next week and having a skeleton up and running. Thoughts and suggestions are much appreciated!
