[Bf-committers] Adding a sharpness flag to EditEdge

[Ton Roosendaal]

Hi,

Also discussed this in IRC. :)

The modifier will be a "EdgeSplit" modifier, allowing to split the  
connectivity of faces based on either angle (option) or on a flag  
(option).
It is a nice extra modeling level tool to have in Blender, also for  
exporting.

We have to keep this seperated from the old issue to define "smooth" or  
"solid" render in Blender (Phong normal interpolation). The current  
per-face option could move to become a per-edge option. This then has  
to become a generic built-in feature for meshes, being handled for  
drawing and rendering in general, disregarding modifiers used.

If we code that feature, it can use the same new "sharp" flag in edges,  
of course.
