[Bf-committers] Help needed! Animation problems for 3D Audio GSoC

[neXyon]

Hi!

Sorry for the late reply, but I had no internet for 3 days.

Lars: The problem is that the Data API in blender doesn't have such 
mutexes and as such isn't thread safe, I guess making blender thread 
safe in this way, requires a GSoC project or even more on its own.

Knapp: This is not about interpolation ;-) And why it's not readable? 
Imagine a thread accesses a pointer while another thread deletes that 
memory?!

Brett: This doesn't change anything regarding the data access.

Sergey: Well yes, the question is whether the main thread can do such a 
preprocessing. At least the cache can be updated with the current frame 
value once it's reached so that the value is correct at least the second 
time you playback after a change (not doing changes between first and 
second playback for sure).

Regards
