[Bf-committers] Engine API

[Clément FOUCAULT]

Hi everyone, (cross post from bf-viewport)

I (Clément) and Dalai have laid-out the Proposal of the Render Engine API
that will be used to create new viewport "Engines". Things might change but
this is the general idea.

We have also introduced a number of PyNodes changes that are required to
support custom GLSL for realtime engines. Thanks Brecht for his insights.

Insights from others realtime engine developpers are more than welcome :) !

The development of this will start as soon as possible in the 2.8 branch.

Thanks,

Clément
