Question: Krita Bindings?

[jasonkhanlar]

Hi! I just discovered LibFive from https://old.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/87547n/3d_cad_software/dwalzdg/ and I'm trying to understand what this is, and it seems to be a library, and not a fully independent software application to design 3d models with. And I was just thinking, would this library possibly be useful to integrate into Krita (which seems for drawing flat/2.5d images/vector graphics with some python/SeExpr scripting, but also seems to have storyboard capabilities, with audio support, etc.), to possibly further extend Krita's capabilities into providing a 3D Workspace also? I notice the README.md of this projects mentions Python bindings, and I just recently started learning Krita, and noticed it supports Python plugins, so I am curious if connecting these together might be possible.

There are a few parts to the project:

• The core libfive library is a dynamically linked library with a bunch of C API functions, found in libfive.h
• libfive-stdlib is a dynamically linked library with C API functions for standard shapes, found in libfive_stdlib.h
• Python (and Scheme) bindings are written on top of these two libraries, using the language's C FFI packages
• Studio is a Qt GUI that sits on top of these bindings

I don't know much about Krita's support for Python plugins, but folks have managed to integrate libfive into Unity, so it's definitely possible!
