  1. …tools. In this case, the expression came from a Python script calling this text(...) function: https://github.com/mkeeter/antimony/blob/f6a56dd7/py/fab/sha... The font is hand-built from geometric primitives (rectangles, circles, etc) and…

  2. For anyone interested in this, I would also recommend checking out the [antimony project]( https://github.com/mkeeter/antimony ). It's a parametric modeling program, but you can also pretty easily produce new scripts for its visual nodes.
  3. …but IMO not really usable for real world work. What about Antimony and VisualScriptCAD ?[0,1] [0] https://github.com/mkeeter/antimony [1] https://github.com/kovacsv/VisualScriptCAD

  4. …- Matt Keeter's stuff (listed here https://www.mattkeeter.com/projects/, including https://github.com/mkeeter/antimony and https://www.mattkeeter.com/projects/ao/, though I see you have libfive) - https://solvespace.com/index.pl -…

  5. …games much easier. (Just a side note, antimony [0] seems to be gaining popularity in its niche) [0] https://github.com/mkeeter/antimony
  6. …Its graph UI is done in Qt, using the QGraphicsView framework. That section of the code is at https://github.com/mkeeter/antimony/tree/develop/app/canvas
  7. …For f-rep development, Ao is the right choice. Otherwise, it's a matter of personal preference. [1] https://github.com/mkeeter/antimony
  8. links: http://mattkeeter.com/projects/antimony and http://github.com/mkeeter/antimony Python scripting too.

  9. …general implicit surfaces, not just CSG with Platonic primitives. So it has operations like "morph" https://github.com/mkeeter/antimony/blob/develop/py/fab/shap... , "blend" (for fillets!), and "shell", and it seems like it would be pretty…
  10. …but because it's using distance fields rather than plain CSG, it does have a “blend” operation ( https://github.com/mkeeter/antimony/blob/develop/py/fab/shap... ) that attempts to fillet the union of two shapes. Now, Antimony has inversion…
  11. …choose an established license instead of trying to make one up by putting 3 lines in the README: https://github.com/mkeeter/antimony

  12. Compared to AutoCad/Inventor, cost and licensing are two huge differences. Antimony is open source: https://github.com/mkeeter/antimony/blob/develop/README.md
