BabylonJS MeshLine - a port of THREE.MeshLine

[roland]

Docs updated.

[roland]

Bro, you have to see this in motion

EDIT: Just tried this out on a Full HD monitor and it looks like shit comparing to the Mac’s retina displayu… even antialiasing doesn’t help it… look much better on a 4k monitor but the retina display is a miracle

EDIT - FullHD screenshot - opaque mesh:

WoW, so cool. Already the screnshots look awesome

Couldn’t wait to do this:

Introducing a new powerful function in GreasedLineTools (draft)

GreasedLineTools.GetPointsFromText(text: string, size: number, resolution: number, fontData: IFontData, z = 0, includeHoles = true): number[][]

OMG, I now have working PG’s and a complete doc with thumbnails.
Did you actually just launch this ‘under the hood’?
Just where are the cheerleaders, the annouce, the praise and the celebration?

@mawa

Did you actually just launch this ‘under the hood’?

It was merged yesterday late afternoon and I was waiting when will it get compiled into the baylonjs package. Launch will come… I promise, you’ll be the first notified

[RaananW]

oh, it is available in 6.8.1

[mawa]

Might be… but I’m waiting on the announce from the team. Already that yours didn’t have to provide much efforts for it So, I expect the team to make this launch ‘BIG, BOLD AND BEAUTIFUL’ . You can write it with greasedLines if you want; Shouldn’t be all too hard

[roland]

@mawa

but I’m waiting on the announce from the team

I don’t know whether there will be something like that…

[RaananW]

i am pretty sure there will be

[mawa]

If I’m still as good as I think I’m in manipulating people …there just HAS TO BE
And then more seriously, I believe your work and contribution would deserve it. Of course, as always, my opinion only.

If the text function gets merged today I could come up with something fancy

Maybe @Deltakosh could lend a helping hand here again

[roland]

@mawa

believe your work and contribution would deserve it.

Thanks a lot!

[mawa]

I didn’t mean to put any additional pressure on you just before your holidays. In fact, honestly, I believe we could have waited a few more weeks after all this time and efforts. If it’s for polishing the launch. You get only one chance for a successful launch.
I can wait. I would wait. And if I can, the others also can
Getting a break is also important. Sometimes you have to allow time to heal your wounds and soul … and return even stronger

[roland]

You’re right! You have the ability to get under people’s skin! I am really touched by your words I mean it, for real… Thanks man!

But it’s just another cool stuff BabylonJS will provide to it’s users. Let the team decide how will the release happen.

[RaananW]

merged. Will be available in 6.9.0

[roland]

Oh yes!
Thank you!

[sebavan]

I was out when this happened

@roland, let me tell you how incredible this contribution is !!! Congratulations !!! You just released our first big feature for Babylon 7

I will go through the docs and the PR despite being late to the party but really want to send beers your way.

Mine always render with artifacts, I think somebody else was having that issue too. Any idea why its doing this?
