Inspired by the Jonathan’s video tutorial, I wanted to try my hands on car-modeling as well. Not a big fan of supercars, I ended up picking something relatively mainstream: a BMW 335i coupe. How am I doing so far?
A few of you asked about how I got those statistics for my previous post about Blender SVN.
For the inquiring minds, I got the SVN log with the following command
svn log -r 25000:0 --xml https://svn.blender.org/svnroot/bf-blender/branches >> log.xml svn log -r 25000:0 --xml https://svn.blender.org/svnroot/bf-blender/trunk >> log.xml
These two SVN operation fetches the SVN logs for both the branches and the trunk of Blender and combine them into one 8 megabyte XML file. Please do not do this often as I imagine querying all the commit logs must put a heavy strain on the Blender SVN server.
Parsing the XML for the author commit frequency is done with the following python script:
import xml.sax
authorList= {}
# create document handler
class SVNXMLHandler(xml.sax.handler.ContentHandler):
def __init__(self):
pass
def startElement(self, name, attrs):
self.hasAuthor = 0
self.hasEntry = 0
if name == "logentry":
self.hasEntry = 1
#print attrs.get('revision', ""),
elif name == "author":
self.hasAuthor = 1
def characters(self, data):
if self.hasAuthor:
#print data
try:
authorList[data] += 1
except:
authorList[data] = 1
def endElement(self, name):
if name == "author": self.hasAuthor = 0
if name == "logentry": self.hasEntry = 0
# load and parse log
f = open('log.xml', 'r')
xml.sax.parseString(f.read(), SVNXMLHandler())
# print to console in comma delimited format
for i in authorList:
print i,",",authorList[i]
Run the above python script like so:
python logParser.py >> crunched.csv
After a few seconds, a CSV file should be created containing all the data you need, ready to be graphed in Microsoft Office. Yes I used Excel for the graph…
Byron Kindig once again pulled it off! Showing off more than 70 piece of artwork (mostly created with Blender) at the Kingsport Renaissance Center, on display until December 22. Kudos for putting this wonderful show together, I would love to see this, too bad I can’t be there in person, but at least I am proud to say some of my work are on display.
Edit: The event was apparently very successful. Photos and proceedings here: byronsdesigns.com
