Arystan Dyussenov has finally managed to merge the GSoC COLLADA branch to trunk. I have been fighting with a broken-ish build environment and the OpenCOLLADA libraries since then.

Today I’ve been working with Maxime on getting his GSoC work to compile on Windows, and we succeeded. Get the Freestyle enabled build from Graphicall.org!

set FREESTYLE_BLENDER_DIR=”C:\freestyle\befree-win32\.blender\scripts”
