NOTE: requires Blender 3.5+

1.2

1. Intersecting Object: Line Art can now be generated on the edges of intersecting objects. It comes with a fast and accurate mode.
2. Simulation Zone: Animations with the line art modifier will be far more consistent with the help of simulation zones being used to average between each frame of an animation.
3. Individual Line Thickness: You can now individually control the line art thickness of Contour, Crease, Silhouette, Light Contour, Cast Shadow, and Intersection.
4. Z-Depth Overhaul: This will overhaul the thickness of your line art to appear more flat depending on the distance that the stroke is from the camera. Can appear more toonish.
5. Thickness by Keylight Position: Controls the thickness of the line art by their direction to the keylight.

NOTE: requires Blender 4.0
