Meta-Androcto · August 20, 2006, 11:36am

,
Try activating Script links, then run script, then activate script in
Space handler scripts. Make sure latest version of script.

Extract: Michael Schardt Expresso Notes

"Quickstart:

first add a mesh object to test with:
good choice is a default cube
subdivide it a few times (6 times is fine -> ~25000 verts)
exit editmode, keep cube selected
make sure, 3D-window is drawn solid

start script by choosing menu-entry in 3D-window
Object -> Scripts -> Espresso v1.1.1

activate both spacehandlers in the 3D-window.
View -> Space Handler Scripts -> Event: Espresso_event.py
Draw: Espresso_draw.py"

start painting mode by activating the palette-icon located at the top left corner of 3D-window…

… Not all scripts are in english translation, sometimes a leap of faith is needed
