[Bf-committers] Mirror and array modifiers for curves

[Emmanuel Stone]

Hi Tobias,

I agree that this is an interesting potential direction for the NURBS
tools in Blender.
For now I think it is important to get the 'static' tools in place
first, and to worry about dynamic modifiers once the toolset is
mature.

Sergey and Laurynas and myself are all looking at different parts of
this now, and hopefully when this fundamental work is complete in a
few months we can start to look at the 'fancy' stuff :)
