Hi Edwin, Except for bash and PHP, I haven't done much scripting at all in the past 10 years and I'm much more comfortable using C++ for a number of reasons. In the future as the tools mature, I imagine I can go back and expose them to Python and this would allow other people to script the tools to create their own components. Thanks for the suggestion, it would be a good idea to put in Python bindings once I have developed a few more tools. - Cirilo > >On Wed, Oct 31, 2012 at 4:13 AM, Cirilo Bernardo <[email protected]> >wrote: > >Hi Folks, >> >> I started a new project on SourceForge to create software for the >>parametric generation of VRML models.
