[Bf-committers] replacing an EditFace vert question

[Ton Roosendaal]

Hi Raul,

I haven't looked into your work for planet texture enough to decide  
whether that would fit our current python api work... however, if you  
think that's possible, for python add-ons there's a much quicker  
roadmap into Blender than changing internal render code at the moment.  
I try to postpone new work on render code after we've got 2.5 stable  
out.
