I have uploaded the ported code to: https://github.com/DarkDefender/blender-npr-tess2

Just a quick heads up. I've managed to get the code to run in blender master and with opensubdiv 3.0.x

Campbell requested some examples with characters so I took some from BBB:

Yes, thank you for making blender FFmpeg 3.0 ready!

I guess the solution to this problem will be the new bmesh boolean stuff? I mean there is no point in trying to fix the problem with carve if it's going the get phased out soon anyways, right?

I can attach a screenshot and try earlier versions, but I thought because the new error doesn't seem to be because of doubles, I'll just upload a blend file again to see if you can reproduce it...

Ah, I had multiple problems with the boolean operator it seems... The one I attached were because of doubles. Or at least it seems to be the case as I didn't manage to get it to bug out anymore.

I didn't personally talk to him about this on IRC, no. Someone else might have though.

Basically, if artists want the feature I'll have a look at it.

Great! :) They (the svg2 board) is looking for feedback. So if you have any requests I'm sure they would love to hear them.

Just a question to flokkievids:
Is there any plans to support SVG2 when it comes out? It seems like a lot of the new features could be useful when exporting from freestyle to SVG.

If the change is indeed deliberate, I would like it to be more obvious that changing the start/end values does nothing with a cyclic path.
While the old behaviour wasn't that great, you could quite easily figure out that you had to have a non cyclic path for best results.

Just to be clear: The blender version that I listed as broken is not the commit that broke it. It's the version of blender that I currently use.
