[Bf-committers] LSCM tex island placement, my new box paking algo in Python.

[Campbell J Barton]

Hi All,
I noticed LSCM uses fairly average box packing, it would fill up the 
This algorithm I wrote could be usefull

It can pack 200 random boxes into 1 box - taking 4 seconds with only 5% 
  waistage.
- This is in python so Im guessing the speed could be greatly increased 
in C.

Its written as a module so it can my used without messing up your scripts.

- Scroll down for a pic :)

I actually wrote this for packing game textures and lightmaps, but it 
can be used for other things too.
