Hi, I am in a similar situation, working on a thesis project for end of next semester and was also thinking about doing some GEM related work. the thing that scared me, is that I would have to fix some things beforehand to get something like an ogre external to work. and, yes, unfortunately this was already done for max at my school, so it would look more like a copy (too easy to do this for Pd...) But actually, I think it is not easy at all and it would be enough work for a trabajo fin de carrer. so *my* current idea is to write some (earth) map viewer that can be integrated into gem. in any case, dig into openGL, especially hardware shaders. a good set of shaders will attract a huge number of visual artists. other ideas for GEM projects: mobile device controllers for visuals, multiplayer gem mixers, make gem work as a webbrowser plugin, gem recipe book, multi screen video synchronisation (avoiding the use of quicktime), gem standalone screensaver, realtime network distributed render engine for particle systems and / or a fluid simulator or rigid body simulations marius.
