Comments on: Weekly update August 17-23 http://maximecurioni.com/freestyle/?p=527 Log of the integration process, its challenges and (hopefully...) its solutions Thu, 10 Dec 2009 10:25:32 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: emmanuel http://maximecurioni.com/freestyle/?p=527&cpage=1#comment-99 emmanuel Tue, 25 Aug 2009 14:28:52 +0000 http://maximecurioni.com/freestyle/?p=527#comment-99 Hi guys, Congratulations for all you hard work, it's amazing to see the Freestyle project live on, stronger than ever, and that's all tks to you. It's always a blast to see what the blender community is able to do with your brilliant new version of the soft, and Stephane and I certainly didn't dare hope for such an outcome when we started toying about the idea of a GSoC... Good to see that some research projects actually make it to the "real world"! So, again, bravo! Even though I haven't be super active and didn't write much myself, I've been following the blog posts and various threads on the blender artists forums. I'm glad to see you're strongly considering changing the names of most of Freestyle objects and operators, which are definitely way too cryptic and "researchy" (viewmap might be the worst of all, I'm sure we can come up with something more user-friendly), and maybe some naming conventions are a bit verbose (UnaryPredicate1D and the like). I'm not familiar with blender's python API, it may be nice to try to match its style for the Freestyle (or should I say Stylines ;) ) API. Anyway, I'll gladly give my 2 cents on this topic. Manu PS: my initial post was much longer and dealt with other topics, but tks to my emacs reflexes I hit ctrl-W -- precisely to copy what I wrote and not lose everything, should I happen to accidentally close the pane -- Grrrrr, stupid stupid me... Hi guys,
