[Bf-committers] Blender irc meeting minutes, 22 april 2012

[Yasuhiro Fujii]

Hi,

I'm also working on the new modifier to render lines similar to Howard
Trickey's.

The main purpose of my modifier is to render cartoon-like
(edge|border|silhouette) lines.
Does Howard Trickey's modifier have the same goals?
