Implement boolean operations into the library
When shipping code I can't force people to have blender or SCAD installed onto their machine. Would it be possible to have boolean operation build into the library instead of having them using a different engine?
Kind regards
Hey, yeah I would also like to drop or reduce the scope of trimesh.interfaces to OpenSCAD/blender if at all possible. Until recently the state of boolean operation backends available has been quite bad (unreliable and slow). I haven't tested but this looks very promising and the OpenSCAD merge is a pretty good sign: https://github.com/elalish/manifold/issues/361
I think the road to getting that as an trimesh[easy] dependency is to set up cibuildwheel and to release a matrix of Python 3.6-3.latest x Mac/Win/Linux and I'm sure they'd love packaging help 😄.
For the time being, how do install/use the openSCAD interface? Does this mean I need openSCAD installed on my pc?
@mikedh yes we would love some python packaging help, we are unable to get the windows build working: https://github.com/elalish/manifold/issues/362
