I combined ccpwgl with my desire for well-choreographed machinimas in the EVE universe - and out came the idea of "eve-kino"!
The user-side announcement of my new lean approach is here, this thread is for the code & technology side :)
(For easier clicks: tech-demo video here - youtube, 17sec)
I just sent my registration on 3rdpartyeve.net (and realized I forgot to add the link to the VideoLog channel - how to change/update a registration in hindsight?)
The source is now available on GitHub as well.
Funnily enough, I regularly end up with projects in 3D space and while I understand the concept of vector/matrix calculations and 3D in general, it always takes time until it all melds together until I can feel at home. It took me a few iterations of trial-and-error until I got the rotations correct ;) But at least I'm wielding the power of quaternions.
The careful observer will note that I upgraded the used glMatrix library from CCP's used 0.9.5 to 1.3.7, which - although also outdated because glMatrix 2.x already exists - provides the awesome helper of mat4.fromRotationTranslation()
Apart from being in its infancy, eve-kino is also limited by the availability of CCP's art resources. Still no news when we have the full package available.

Cool stuff! I was thinking about having the option of loading resources from additional sources - other than the CCP CDN; The resource-loader of ccpwgl can handle several sources. It would be awesome to load more than the standard set.
Although, I'd really like to have more (all!) of the standard ships available instead of the few current ones. My github issue about that is still unanswered.

Well, the AT XI weeks went past me without notice. Only after I skimmed through the CREST thread I found out that I again managed to sit behind the moon. More specifically about the implications of Two Step's little experiment here.
But, on the plus side, from this experiment I found out that apparently CCP did upload more of the resources, and eve-kino release v.0.0.6 offers now what I could extract from this graphicIDs.js file. (Thanks, Two Step!)
Still, apparently this stuff got released without (my) notice - What secret channels do I have to attend to know about this? The github issue list doesn't seem to be maintained. And: Where did this graphicIDs.js file come from?
