Can you please check this 2 branches (win64) and compare the speed? <a href="https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B62B6BmVbltVb0cyQS1TekNZZ0E?usp=sharing" target="_blank">https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...0E?usp=sharing</a> <br>

I don't want to rush into conclusion but i have the impression that
Gsoc_2017 is really slow compare to Gsoc_2016. If it is so, may be it
will be better to sort out what is the cause. Howardt and Darshan please
have a look.<br><br></div>I posted a copy to the BA thread as well<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Jul 14, 2017 at 9:36 PM, Darshan kadu <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:darsh7807@gmail.com" target="_blank">darsh7807@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-size:12.8px">Hello everyone,</span><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">Here are the updates of the seventh week.</div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><div style="font-size:12.8px"><b style="font-size:12.8px">What I did this week:</b><br></div><div><b style="font-size:12.8px"><br></b></div><div>This week I continued my work on vertex alpha.</div><div><br></div><div> In last week's code for the alpha channel, there was a problem that it was not setting the alpha value properly to all the vertices. It was due to the fac that goes into the mcol functions, if fac was out of range that is( 0,255) then alpha was not set. I changed it, so that vertex has the alpha value defined by the used irrespective of the fac value.</div><div><br></div><div>I completed the ply exporter. It was taking the vertex color information from the Mcol, </div><div>but it was limited to 3 colors i.e RGB, so I extended the corresponding RNA so that now it is possible to access the alpha from the ply exporter. Hence, once I got the access to the alpha I just append it to the RGB in the ply exporter.</div><div><br></div><div>The next task was fbx exporter. I took me some time to understand it, as it is in python. There was an addon created for it by the artists <a href="https://forum.unity3d.com/threads/vertex-rgba-blender-2-5x.254038/" target="_blank">https://forum.unity3d.com/threads/vertex-rgba-blender-2-5x.254038/</a></div><div>The current fbx exporter was setting the alpha to 1 by default. I replaced it with the alpha value from mloopcol. It is working well as tested on unity with c# script.</div><div><br></div><div>I faced the problem to commit the code in the addon folder. So, I moved the modified addon files into the startup folder and then commit the code. This is the temporary solution as the add-ons have the separate repository.</div><div><br></div><div>Next, I did Collada exporter. I was simple. I extended the current code for alpha. </div><div><br></div><div>Then, I started the task of showing the alpha in the 3d view. I have made the preliminary changes to it. It is working for basic cases still, have to make many changes to.</div><div><br></div><div><b style="font-size:12.8px">What I plan to do next:</b><br></div><div><b style="font-size:12.8px"><br></b></div><div>I will complete the task of the alpha in 3d view, it is lacking for the cases like mesh subdivide, face selection etc.</div><div><br></div><div>I am getting the feedback on the blender artist thread about the vertex alpha e.g. setting the alpha value. I will solve this problem. </div><div><br></div><div>Thank you.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div></div>
