<p>Hey all, here's my first weekly report for UV-Tools:<br>
</p>
What I did this week:<br>
<br>
* Read a lot of code, still some areas I'm not familiar with but my
mentor howardt is of great help here. I documented my journey
through uv-related code [1] so others can learn from it too.<br>
<br>
* Getting to know Blender git, created the gsoc branch [2], pushing
commits and merging master into it without breaking stuff.<br>
<br>
* Implemented a feature [3] to make packing after unwrapping
optional, as requested by users in the blenderartists thread. <br>
<br>
* Started implementing the "select shortest path" operator for UVs.
It mainly consists of two parts: Validating the current selection
(done) and finding the shortest path between selected elements (I'm
currently working on this).<br>
<br>
* Doing quite a bit of research for Bin-Packing algorithms, a
collection of the papers and reference implementations I'm
investigating can be found here: [4]<br>
<br>
* Collected all the various feature ideas/requests from ba, Twitter,
IRC etc. at a wiki page [5]<br>
<br>
What I plan on doing next week:<br>
<br>
*Finish select shortest path operator<br>
*Look into proper hiding of UV elements<br>
*Study a paper about binpacking my mentor suggested<br>
*Testing, bugfixing and getting to know more of the code <br>
