Re: [Kicad-developers] Bezier curves in DRAWSEGMENT class

Hi all, If ever anyone implement a new form, please have an eye on, and mind on, that the new form also will need a 3DViewer implementation. It may be just a need to convert it with segm approximation (if its not already come as segments from pcbnew board). Cheers, Mario Luzeiro

Re: [Kicad-developers] VRML Export

Hi Cirilo, IMO the b) is most important for the users that want to use the features without having knowledge of how the things really work and want something that "it just works". (special good for sharing without copy many files) but as Maurice point, the a) inline feature is a more wised way

[Kicad-developers] Blured text on OpenGL

Hi all, I had a feeling yesterday, on the openGL mode that looks different: low-res blurred interpolated font. I may was a bit blurred myself, but I found other users complaining about the same: https://forum.kicad.info/t/switch-of-blurring-of-pad-text-in-new-opengl-engine/3837 Any one

Re: [Kicad-developers] Couple raytracer "problems"/questions

Hi Chris, > 2) Any necessary reason why it's so grainy? There are a lot of parameters on raytracing render that are hard coded, maybe in future someone could implement a parameter UI for advance users to get their desired result. As grainy I believe you talking about noise in the reflections

Re: [Kicad-developers] New eeschema file format

Hi all, Feature request for eeschema: Not sure if this is the right thread, as now I started using again KiCad, one thing I miss and I believe I found somewhere other requests, is the ability to make some kind of notes in schematics. Usually I use "Add text" but that text is visible and

It will be possible to easily integrate a 3D footprint preview, after merge my branch with the new 3D viewer development. On my branch there is already a 3d preview to align 3d shapes with footprint. Any news on this merge ? Regards, Mario Luzeiro

Re: [Kicad-developers] Trouble with bitmapped font

Hi Lorenzo, I was about to comment, I have no single experience with shaders, but from what I understood from KiCad shaders, they are "automatic generated" (converted from text file to CPP file?) during build? cmake? time.. So what you describe looks to be that it was using the old shader (as
