[Bf-committers] bmesh vertex path done, CDT next?

[Wael EL ORAIBY]

Hi,

So the bmesh vertex path is done now. Since the code for face path is
likely to be the same, I wonder if it will be of use for artists. For
edge path, there are few ways to solve it, but I think it'll
resemble/use the face path more. So for now, I propose to work on
constrained delaunay triangulation (2D). However, the algorithm will
be made in C++ and will use STL if this poses no problem.

The CDT will solve these problems:
1. Triangulate an ngon
2. Cap holes (fill holes) - like in 3DS Max

It is highly likely that it will be helpfull in:
1. making bridges (join two separate meshes at their (selected?) edge loops)
2. 2D shape tools
3. other areas

There is still a lot of work to be done on object creation, and
probably other mesh/edit mesh tools, so what is of priority for now?

Regards,

Wael,
