[Bf-committers] Google Summer of Code

[Mike Erwin]

Hi Marcel,

Here is some info about our plans for the 3D Viewport:

http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:2.8/
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:2.8/Viewport
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:2.8/Source/OpenGL

I don't actually think creating a new OpenGL drawing API from scratch is a
good GSoC project. There's a lot of previous and current work on that topic
by a number of developers. *Helping us refine and finish* what is already
started is a better approach. Blender 2.8 needs plenty of GL work in
general, so having an extra person for the summer is going to be great!
