It is designed as a programmable interface to allow +maximum control over the style of the final drawing: the user +"programs" how the silhouettes and other feature lines from the 3D +model should be turned into stylized strokes using a set of +programmable operators dedicated to style description. This +programmable approach, inspired by the shading languages available in +photorealistic renderers such as Pixar's RenderMan, overcomes the +limitations of integrated software with access to a limited number of +parameters and permits the design of an infinite variety of rich and +complex styles. The system currently focuses on pure line drawing as a +first step. The style description language is Python augmented with +our set of operators. Freestyle was developed in the framework of a +research project dedicated to the study of stylized line drawing +rendering from 3D scenes.
