    Blender 2.63 with Freestyle for Leopard

    I was able to compile Blender 2.63 with freestyle (revision 51094). No cycles though, but it was mostly to get Freestyle working on a PPC. Good for NPR and pixel art. I just started using Blender, so I don't know that much yet! Link: Blender-2.63-51094 - 10.5-PPC-With_Freestyle.zip
