[Bf-blender-npr] priority targets for Freestyle and Blender NPR capabilities

[Tamito KAJIYAMA]

Hi all,

I have got a three-month extension (July-September) of my funded project
by the Blender Foundation development fund. The idea is to continue the
initial general targets identified in the project proposal (*) to
enhance Freestyle and Blender NPR capabilities, i.e.:

Task 1: Freestyle performance improvements
Task 2: Freestyle workflow improvements
Task 3: Support for Blender NPR capability development

* http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Kjym3/DevFundProject/Proposal

For the next Blender 2.72 official release, a specific set of features
needs to be selected as release targets. Based on a survey of
discussions in Blender forums and social networks, I propose the
following set of improvements and new features as 2.72 targets:

- reduced memory consumption in Freestyle (Task 1)
- Freestyle integration into Cycles (Task 2)
- built-in SVG export of Freestyle line drawing (Task 3)

I would like to hear from active Freestyle and Blender NPR people and 
collect opinions about priority features.

For your information, an incomplete list of future to-do items can be 
found in the appendix of the project proposal.

If you think some of these to-do items and/or other functionalities
should take priority in the development, please consider giving feedback
to the planning by replying to this message.

Thank you,
