Topics

  • There are too many features in development, better focus in current developed features to review and move to master before develop too many features at once.
  • CustomData is a great idea, but we need to be very carefull with all places where the number of points change.
  • As we are going to use CustomData, no more struct variables by point. If we need something, we will add a new CustomDataLayer.
  • Hans will help us with CustomData API.
  • Working in a new modifier to generate vertex weightts, not LineArt only, but related,
