   What do you think? Is an app like Lic useful, worth developing further?

Yes, it is very cool. Especially so since it (almost) works on Mac OS X - and we don’t have LPub.

There were indeed a lot of prerequisites (and pre-prerequisites!), but I think I’ve managed to build them all, and Lic launches! Hurray for Python and portable code.

Unfortunately, an error occurs when I try to open any models. It’s quite possible that I don’t have the right version of some prerequisite or that I didn’t install it properly, so I can certainly provide more details if it isn’t immediately clear what’s going on. Here’s the model from the example. It happens with pyramid.dat, too.

This announcement is a neat coincidence, since I had spent yesterday afternoon working out an ambitious way to render instruction-style images:

Render - Mockup Cover

My procedure isn’t automated, though, so it’s tedious and error-prone! It’s more like a proof-of-concept than an actual workflow.

Anyway, I’d say Lic definitely looks like a worthwhile project. Keep us informed!
