Hi Nicholas, Yes. Freestyle has the similar purpose to my modifier's. However, their approach are very different and thus they have different pros/cons. For example, my modifier has better consistency with fog, DoF and transparency, Freestyle can generate more flexible style lines such as handwritten-like (My modifier will be able to control the line properties with the vertex weight values, but less flexible than Freestyle.)
