<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;">Hi Brecht<br><br>We need to reorganise our already very limited team in order to form a workgroup to collaborate with the Blender Render API development. At the moment our developers are deeply involved in fixing our upcoming release of YafaRay 0.1.2, the Blender 2.5 exporter and the XSI exporter, so it is not the best time for us for new endeavours. I hope that within a month we can get back to you with a group of people willing to collaborate.

I'll have time to work on the implementation, but it<br>would be best if we could get as many developers as possible involved<br>in the design and contributing code!<br><br>For discussion, we'll use the <a ymailto="mailto:bf-python@blender.org" href="/mc/compose?to=bf-python@blender.org">bf-python@blender.org</a> mailing list, it<br>doesn't have much other traffic at the moment. So if you want to get<br>involved it's best to subscribe:<br><a href="http://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-python" target="_blank">http://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-python</a><br><br>There's a few different areas that need to be improved, the main
ones<br>I have in my mind are:<br><br>* Preview and viewport rendering<br>* Extensible shader node system<br>* Texturing<br>* UI and properties<br>* C/C++ API for faster export<br>* Data synchronization for interactive rendering<br>* Render result and passes<br><br>My plan is to mail a design proposal to the bf-python list for each<br>topic, to get it discussed and agreed on, expect the first proposal in<br>a few days. If you've got more requests for things to be added, just<br>send them to the mailing list, so we can get a better idea of what is<br>needed. There's also already this wiki page:<br><a href="http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Source/Render/Render_API" target="_blank">http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Source/Render/Render_API</a><br><br>It's not entirely clear to me who is in charge of integration for all<br>engines, so if I've missed someone, please forward this mail.<br><br>Thanks,<br>Brecht.<br></div></blockquote></td></tr></table>
