<br>
I was wondering if a proposal like the following would be suitable for<br>
GSOC? I've followed a template found on <a href="http://wiki.blender.org" target="_blank">wiki.blender.org</a><br>
<br>
Any comments/feedback?<br>

Synopsis<br>
<br>
OpenGL ES Rasterizer for Game Engine. Raspberry PI support for<br>
game engine.<br>
<br>
Benefits to Blender<br>
<br>
With an OpenGL ES Rasterizer the game engine can target embedded<br>
hardware like the Raspberry PI or Beagleboard. Also the ES rasterizer is<br>
a first requirement for getting support for Android.<br>
<br>
Deliverables<br>
<br>
The blenderplayer will run on the Raspberry PI based using standard<br>
openGLES. Standard .blend files run natively.<br>
<br>
Project Details<br>
<br>
A more detailed description.<br>
<br>
Project Schedule<br>
<br>
I'm not sure how much work this will require but the work can<br>
be based on the previous attempt to port the Blenderplayer<br>
to Android.<br>
* researching the current openGL rasterizer<br>
* setting up a dev environment solely focused on the Blenderplayer<br>
* Initial openGLES porting on x86(_64)<br>
* Initial ARM porting<br>
* Full openGL ES ARM port<br>
* porting shaders<br>
* wrapping up/finalizing documentation<br>
<br>
I do expect to be on vacation for 3 weeks. But this will only<br>
mean I can't be online fulltime.<br>

Bio<br>
<br>
I'm Arnaud Loonstra currently doing a Master study in Media<br>
Technology at the Leiden Institute for Advanced Computer Science<br>
(LIACS). I've been involved in Blender since around 2000 and since the<br>
2.5 release this has progressed to working with the source of Blender as<br>
well. Many example projects from the Z25 Foundation I have done with<br>
Blender. I'm mostly interested in realtime applications with Blender<br>
therefore my focus is on the Game Engine. In the past I've written a<br>
Blenderplayer for the Raspberry PI using OpenFrameworks. I have<br>
submitted some minor bug reports and patches to Blender (GE) but nothing<br>
really substantive. I'm an experienced C and Python programmer although<br>
I'll admit that openGL ES is an area I've only recently touched upon.<br>
