[Bf-committers] Eevee and BGE proposal.

[Dalai Felinto]

Hi Tristan,

Can you elaborate on how do you plan handling updates for the Eevee
materials and probes?
Right now this all goes via the depsgraph.

Perhaps we could talk Tuesday morning (10am or 11am CEST) on IRC with
Sergey to get this sorted out once and for all.

Cheers,
Dalai
