[Bf-committers] NPR style plugin for Freestyle

[Károly Zsolnai]

Hello there everyone,

is it a possibility that you need this "Markov Field" brush synthesizer
algorithm in Freestyle? Short video below.

The foundations of the work are in the thesis of Robert Kalnins:

My take on the matter is unfortunately not in English, but if you wish, you
can check the pictures:

Also there is an English (finally!) paper on this too:

Please let me know if you desire this to be in Blender. Maybe we could get
a GSoC student to integrate my implementation in Blender? Or as I am a PhD
student, I also might have a chance to get a student to do it.

If so, I'll check if it is possible to give out the code as it is expected
to be used in the motion picture industry [1] [2].
