Re: Document animation : Performance issue

I agree 3D Engine was not the accurate word. Nevertheless it does not change my view on the need of optimization, restructuring etc. It is your baby and I am probably not the one to tell you how to grow it, grow it as you want! Sorry for that.

Re: Help for transparency, shapeColor & diffuseColor handling needed

I have got artifacts. I saved the project and reload the project with the current version of FreeCAD and the previous also. But after reloading the project the artifact just disappeared. And I have not been able to reproduce.

Hello, Sorry for the delay. It took some time to digest everything. And apologize as I was really upset even if thee is a part of truth in what I was complaining about. Sorry I mixed words.

Re: Help for transparency, shapeColor & diffuseColor handling needed

Hello, I do not know everything about FreeCAD as it is quite wide. And I do not know anything about A2Plus. And may be have I given unnecessary information, and as I did not work on that for few month now my memory may not be sufficient. I am only talking FreeCAD and the way the different parts are ...
