Hello Andrei,
I wanted to ask you some questions!
Foremost,
How did you start out on your project? I mean, what were the initial places
where you looked and found information required for carrying out the
project?
I have been looking at your patches and the work done related to this in
GCi '14.
Your implementation on BoT, Pipe, Sketch and Sphere is pretty clean and
awesome!
Well, in your proposal, you have mentioned about vol, extrude and ars as
well. Did you start anything on it? Can you guide me about it?
Thanks a lot for giving me a chance to interact.
With Regards,
Kalpit Thakkar
