Talk:Generative Modelling Language
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hi Sarge, what's wrong with this page, why did you mark it cleanup and wikify? --Havemann 16:03, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
- Because, at the moment I did, it needed some wikify and clean-up. Now it needs mainly some more wikifying and some tone modification to make it read like an article (for example, the sentence "Perhaps the GML is a valid successor of VRML?" doesn't belong to an encyclopedic article). When you, or other editors, think that the article doesn't need the tags anymore, just remove them :) For more info, refer to the style guides. Sarg 18:57, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Article Subject
I find this article quite confusing for both newcomers and people who know about programming and computer graphics. If it supposed to be about a programming language as the title implies it lacks information about the language syntax (see Category:Programming_languages for lots of other programming language articles) and what makes it special compared to other languages commonly used for procedural 3D modelling (as supported by many 3d CG packages - COFFEE (Cinema 4D), Maya Embedded Language, POV-Ray Scene Description Language). The current article text mostly consists of information on the concept of generative modelling (although lacking a clear distiction from other Procedural modeling concepts) and on the interactive interpreter and its features – it might be better to turn this article into a software article or one about Generative Modelling as a general concept.

[edit] Various Programs
There appear to be three groups of GML.org programs: browser plug-ins, IDE's and MFCs. It is not clear what they do. Are the browser plug-ins just for viewing? I assume the IDE is used for writing a program. What is an MFC?
[edit] 1000-pixel wide images?
Maybe the application images could be shrunk or split up? Not everyone is reading Wikipedia in 1600-pixel wide windows...
[edit] Plagiarism
Much of the page's content, including images, is taken from the GML homepage, http://www.generative-modeling.org/GenerativeModeling/1, which is actually listed in the article. This is why the tone did not seem encyclopaedic. I have no suggestion that would keep the page well intact. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Boijunk (talk • contribs) 00:21, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
