What do you mean by advanced snaping options? Yes, the plugin framework will make object creation plugins like landscape and tree generators possible. Object plugins and object creation plugins are already possible. What I am implementing at the moment is that plugins can add pages to the configure dialog. The next planed steps are: Give all views access to control points and make new kinds of views possible (like the requested 2d sor, prism and lathe view). And the import/export and renderer plugin part is missing, too, but should be quite straight forward to implement. When the plugin framework is finished (which will take some time), I will not be able to implement new features but will first have to write a huge and detailed HOWTO for all kinds of plugins. Next on my road map is the mesh object. I still don't have a good idea how to handle the great complexity of meshes in the wire frame views. Does anybody know a small and simple 3d app with nice mesh editing features like extrude etc.? The only 3d apps I used so far is moray and a litle bit blender (some years ago), but don't have access to a professional modeler. > > Sign... > > If some more developers would join us... > > maybe... > > and the wishlist will not get smaller if millions of kde users will > > install KPovModeler with kde 3.1... > > I hope kde 3.1 release will aknowledge the world of the great work you did > & encourage coders all around involving in kpovmodeler's improvement > process. Like Olivier, I think we're gonna walk a long way side by side... Hmmmmmmmmmm... Nice to hear :-) Andreas -- -------------------------------------------------- Andreas Zehender, Dipl. Ing.
