Freestyle integration update

Bart · April 4, 2012

Maxime Curioni and Tamito Kajiyama give an extensive update on the integration of the non-photorealistic renderer Freestyle in Blender.

From the Freestyle integration blog:

The Blender Freestyle branch spent a few months of relatively less development activities due to limited time resources. Here is a short summary of new features and bug fixes since the last blog update.
Changes include:

New features and changes in the Parameter Editor mode

Fix for degenerate triangles in imported mesh data

A list of bug fixes and miscellaneous improvements

Development updates on April 2

Author Bart

I have a LONG history with Blender - I wrote some of the earliest Blender tutorials, worked for Not a Number and helped run the crowdfunding campaign that open sourced Blender (the first one on the internet!). I founded BlenderNation in 2006 and have been editing it every single day since then ;-) I also run the Blender Artists forum and I'm Community Lead at n8n.

Looks great. This rendered can give great effects as seen on “Development update” link at the “Freestyle artwork” section.

Any likelihood of intersecting geometries (i.e., edge detection) being handled correctly in the future of Freestyle?

Last time I used it I was disappointed about how it handels lines in animation. They were flickering and strobing from frame to frame.. not smooth at all. I hope something has been done about it. Had to do it in Maya afterall.. client almost droped the project.
