[Bf-committers] CSG - Carve GPLed

[Campbell Barton]

Heres an attempt to give carve something complicated, it finished
quite fast (< 5sec) and gave good results.

Some of the problems I had were because of blenders scanfill failing
when importing the OBJ, heres a modified script that also triangulates
the OBJ

# export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/carve/lib
# export PATH=$PATH:/opt/carve/bin
import bpy, import_obj, export_obj, os
sce = bpy.data.scenes.active
ob1, ob2 = tuple(sce.objects.context)
export_obj.write('a.obj', [ob1])
export_obj.write('b.obj', [ob2])
os.system('intersect --obj a.obj A_MINUS_B b.obj > c.obj')
os.system('triangulate --obj c.obj > c_tri.obj')
import_obj.load_obj('c_tri.obj', False)
