BUG: wireframe modifier required for Blender version < 2.70 #17

Closed ajjackson closed 8 years ago

ajjackson commented 8 years ago

The version of Blender packaged for Ubuntu 14.04 does not include the "WIREFRAME" modifier which is used by the new rendering engine. Requiring a more recent version of Blender is a "pain point". This can be worked around by either

a) using the older tracing engine with these versions of Blender, breaking consistency or b) implementing a solid bounding-box generator in the code to avoid this dependency.

Closing for now; this is a lot of work, which will become redundant in subsequent OS versions. Documentation has been updated to reflect version requirement.
