Hello,</p>
<p>
About myself:<br>
I am Mr. M. Bärlocher an educated Multimedia Producer of a reentry into this profession as a selfemployed, musician, music clip producer, author, creative, as also still relatively low, as also a 'just started'.<br>
You can have a glance at some of my musicially artworks at:<br>
http://www.expare.net <- The released noises...<br>
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZYt3aMINRXGPYQKj9LkcoQ <- Two of my video/music artworks made with Blender... (I suggest have a glance as soon you find some time in spare...)<br><br>
I experimented a lot with light-particles, as also mirroring... While the production, while using Blender 2.69 I recognized some things, which seem to be labeled with 'Work in Progress', xor some things, which could become extended (I did overfly the existing online Add-Ons, but also about this point I would have a suggestion or two...):<br><br>
Add-Ons:<br>
- Fully implementablility, simply cause of to keyframe every possible option in a direct manner...<br>
- Fully, xor redefined object orientated hierarchy of the divers optionalities for the implementation... (I save a lot of WIP files, some times I had to reload a presaved version, cause for example a forgotten mesh-meta-detail, so it would be better, if it could be possible (similar to Cinema 4D's object hierarchy for example), a 'work in progress detail-steps chronic', as an Outliner extension...))<br><br>
Options:<br>
- Additionally to the two .blend1, .blend2 files an autosave folder with following date-time, so files' progress becomes comparable to the project managment's progress.<br><br>
Objects:<br>
- I miss these type of spline objects, like tube-nurbs, and/or I really can't handle the spline-objects of Blender. I didn't had to use them, but will... (The diversity of Nurbs!? I like this function as it is in Cinema 4D available, specially for tech'n'machine things... It's at the border to CAD.)<br>
- Object Generators: Like the example artmatic (http://uisoftware.com/artmatic/Galleries/gallery.html) a fully seperated object orientated mesh generator, with save functionality in an extended Outliner... (Instead of endlessly WIPs/in-between_saves...)<br>
- Text obj. to cam-field/-square animationing/positioning functionalities, cause of the size'n'resolutions...<br><br>
Keyframing:<br>
- For the complete Keyframing with the index the tracks/on the keyframes of the Dope Sheet an additional options section, right-click, and the standard stuff like copy-paste, and this across different objects, and/or a fully object orientated (!) keyframing-functionalities...<br>
- I understand, that the divers sub-window types for keyframing 'interact'/are connected, this could be fully extended, visualized as keyframes, paths within the 3D view... (Drag'n'Drop keyframing, and so on...)<br><br>
Physics:<br>
- Visible dust-light, in shape of (!) a light modifier? Means, extended Halo, Shimmer options for every type of light source... (Overplease!)<br>
- Seems to be a WiP, full fragmentable physically objects. Glass, wood, iron splintering (I saw this options somewhere...) Or something like similar to the (!) voxel (!) engines (in comparison to the resolution of the cam), 'simulated substances' in shape of an extended particle generator, as also the influences by fire (material), growth, bounce, smash/squeeze (snow, water, sand)... It's useful for exeptions, and could conduct to the planned game engine, hum...<br>
Mr. M. Bärlocher (...grumble...)<br><br>
Modifiers:<br>
- A delay and a predelay modifier functioning with index raytracing/timelining/keyframing, light, or motion...<br>
- Gausan Blur Modifier (of the typical simple Photoshop kind) with the index the timeline/keyframing...<br>
- A mirrorin, which accepts partitially asymetry, also for Textures, like an exception zone...<br><br>
Property Inspector:<br>
- For 3D Users, and not programmers, it is sometimes not obvious if the 0.000 to 1.000 options are somehow perencentages, or on which 'side' is the option on... I do not have a concrete example, I used the mirror, and transparency function in combination, and was restlessly confused about the result after a while, even if my school know inside of my head meant something, it's a grumble, if such options byte each other... (I used a double mesh for the Wave-Cave of music video: The Snare Is Meant. Cause of 'this failure, I figured, but I can't rechew this'. [silent whispering - 'ouch' meant the typer...])<br><br>
Outliner:<br>
- Single Object's solo button, additionally to visible/moveable/visible in raytracer... (Like in music sequencer softwares...)<br>
- An Object's fully options-freeze/keylock button/'don't touch this no more' button (with note-ability or not (objects notes/dependencies notes button??))...<br>
- Sortability of the objects, alphabetically, size, type, created, etc.<br><br>
Particle Emitter:<br>
- Emissions' options expressed among the timeline, the complete particle's emission section could become far extended, I used multi-objects or move into-out off the scene/cam... (I honestly didn't used layers, it's a one-shot, but I think this could make additionally sense for low, mid, high flackering fire, and so on...)<br>
- To bake an particle emmitter didn't worked out, cause it got slower and slower... How does this become calculated behind?! (Rethoric question, but 1 and a half day, with an hour for about 20 or 30, hum... I don't understand this/I didn't understood this form a 'mental- computer tech-flair standpoint'...)<br><br>
Raytracer:<br>
- Using, missusing, subusing through OpenGL or DirectX the graphic card hardware?! (Nooyo, if possible, an idea for the hyper nerds, freaks, geeks.)<br>
- Memory CPU bottle-neck, my honestly older, slow i5 isn't that representative, but the RAM-CPU handling did had a failure with my station, even if 3 of 4 GB still where free... (Yes, new'n'better hardware, and'n'but it's really more a hardware topic...) But part of the renderer is as single core, arr, 'raytree building...' or what it was...<br>
- As long it's raytracing - blocking the editor, also for material options, etc... (I had a stuck of not saved fincut progress, while I wanted to save, while the raytracers' window was open...)<br>
- Preparing for HD TV X2, X4, X8, X16, nooyo, it's just a preset... Hum...<br>
- A preset 'do raytrace these - executable file', to send it a neighbour, buddies, after to ask for the company's computer/computers, to raytrace through the night, and/or, like these strange 'SETI screensavers', fully automated'n'so with self-checking for the as the minimum needed computer hardware... (Also a nooyo, but hum, a simple idea...)<br>
- An auto-restart functionality on_crash - auto reboot for windows, xor ubuntu for the restarted Raytracing process, after a voltage wobbler, or a thunder storm, or whatever...<br><br>
regards<br>
Mr. M. Bärlocher</p></body></html>
