# Additional credits:
# Thanks to Emilio Aguirre for S2flender from which I took inspirations :)
# Thanks to Nikola Radovanovic, the author of the original VRM script,
# the code you read here has been rewritten _almost_ entirely
# from scratch but Nikola gave me the idea, so I thank him publicly.
#
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# Things TODO for a next release:
# - Switch to the Mesh structure, should be considerably faster
# (partially done, but cannot sort faces, yet)
# - Use a better depth sorting algorithm
# - Review how selections are made (this script uses selection states of
# primitives to represent visibility infos)
# - Implement Clipping and do handle object intersections
# - Implement Edge Styles (silhouettes, contours, etc.)
# - Implement Edge coloring
# - Use multiple lighting sources in color calculation
# - Implement Shading Styles?
# - Use another representation for the 2D projection?
# Think to a way to merge adjacent polygons that have the same color.
# - Add other Vector Writers.
#
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# Changelog:
#
# vrm-0.3.py - 2006-05-19
# * First release after code restucturing.
# Now the script offers a useful set of functionalities
# and it can render animations, too.
