Hi,
I was wondering how powerstroke LPE was doing and whether we should enable it, and just have come across a document on somewhat similar thing called Advanced Outlines in Synfig Studio. I think some people in this list will enjoy reading it :)
Very nice! I think when I start working on it again, I will just copy Synfig's behavior, that okay? :-) As you may have seen, the behavior I put in current trunk is already the same as what they have (somewhat), so all I need to do is add their cool tweaks. Would be good to use the same math too for the interpolation.
BTW, should we perhaps enable some of the LPEs in nightly PPA? Some testing wouldn't hurt?
LPEs can be somewhat tricky to develop, so we should be very careful in releasing them (because after it's been released, there is no user-friendly way (yet?) of changing/fixing LPE behavior...). Indeed it would not hurt to have the experimental LPEs enabled for some testing. But I am unaware of any LPE under active development at the moment...
I think we should keep the rule that to release an LPE, it should have all imaginable uses 'documented' in our testsuite, so we can check that they'll keep behaving the same in future releases.
Thanks for inspiring me to work on and perhaps finish the powerstroke LPE...
Cheers, Johan
