Unfortunatly we don't have 2014 at work, and I'm on win7 at home, but you can get the sources here: https://bitbucket.org/ahmidou_lyazidi/al_icons/src
About the benefits, well not that much :) I was frustrated by the null's icons and the fact that you can't rotate them, so when the custom primitive came out, that was an occasion to play with them. Actually I was excpecting a better performance... but that still OK The two things I see is it's typed as an Icon, so it's easier and more robust to filter and you can't accidentaly edit them. ----------------------------------------------- Ahmidou Lyazidi Director | TD | CG artist http://vimeo.com/ahmidou/videos http://www.cappuccino-films.com 2013/6/21 Alan Fregtman <alan.fregt...@gmail.com> > Any chance for Linux support? > > Also, what do you see as the benefits to OpenGL icons over say, > curve-based ones? > > > > On Fri, Jun 21, 2013 at 9:12 AM, Ahmidou Lyazidi <ahmidou....@gmail.com>wrote: > >> Hi gang, >> I was missing this feature since a long time so I gave it a go >> This plugin use a json file as definition so you can add as many shapes >> as you want. >> >> things to know: >> -It have SRT offset and size parameters, and currently support only one >> closed curve per icon. >> -The icon.json file must be in the same directory than the dll (in the >> plugin folder), and the definition is a flat array of formatted like >> this [x0,x1,x2...,y0,y1,y2...,z0,z1,z2...]. >> -Performance wise, a quick benchmark showed that it's ~7% slower than a >> curve equivalent, but the good thing is that it has it's own type (Icon) >> and can be filtered . >> -The primitive is located in the create>primitive menu >> >> -You need to install this: http://www.microsoft >> .com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30679 >> -It's not tested that much, use it at you own risk!!! >> >> >> Download: >> AL_Icons<http://www.si-community.com/community/download/file.php?id=2981> >> >> Cheers >> A. >> ----------------------------------------------- >> Ahmidou Lyazidi >> Director | TD | CG artist >> http://vimeo.com/ahmidou/videos >> http://www.cappuccino-films.com >> > >
