[Bf-committers] Blender developer meeting minutes, January 8 2012

[Ton Roosendaal]

Hi all,

Here's notes from today's meeting.
(And no, we didn't decide or discuss Collada issues, that's still being reviewed! :)

1) Blender 2.62 release targets

- Current targets: http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Doc/Projects

- Antonis: UV tools progresses, it takes a couple of more days. Docs need upgrade too.

Tom suggested he should seek a few artists to help testing and provide feebdack and/or docs!

- Longer names for Blender data, Sergey will try this week. Ton tries to be around for help.

- Movie Clip editor: Object tracking is in svn now, docs get updated still.
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Doc:2.6/Manual/Motion_Tracking

- Question on depsgraph progress: no progress here... 

- Brecht: multi gpu rendering is nearly done, render passes too. Will all be ready this month.

- Brecht found possiblie solution for Nvidia Fermi slowdown with faces using double sided light. He will check if this is feasible to add.

- Pete Larabell: patch for updated "double-edge-matte" Composite node goes to codereview today

- Still two weeks left to complete new features or add patches/branches. On January 22nd we enter "BCon3" (only work on fixes).

2) Other projects

- BMesh goes as expected. Modifiers being done now, particle support then follows.

- Carve library (Boolean Mesh intersection): works good now, but has a triangulation issue, needs solution. Might get to trunk as ifdeffed option

- Andrea starts working on Asset Browsing:

She could use feedback from a sall team who likes to get involved too, preferably people with past production experience (suggested: Campbell, F Paglia, Bassam)

Laters,


-Ton-
