[Bf-committers] Blender 2.8 planning notes 2017-07-24

[Campbell Barton]

Hi, meeting notes for today's Blender 2.8 planning.


= Last Week =

* Bastien: Some 2.79 release tasks, bug triaging and fixing, worked on
whole static override/asset management, and talked to the guys at the
studio about 2.8 projects etc!

* Campbell: Worked on Py-Manipulator FaceMap implementation,
made working example using "Vincent" model (needs to make video demo),
otherwise weekly log for details.

* Clément: Worked on Screen Space Reflections all the week.
More difficult than expected. But results are promising.
Expect to merge it tomorrow morning.

* Luca: Finished the patch for passing the eval_ctx argument all
around the code.

= This Week =

* Bastien: Keep working on asset management.
* Campbell: Improve face-map usability & general draw-manager optimizations.
* Clément: Bugfix, optimization, and Refraction.
* Luca: Works on replacing DerivedMesh in cloth.
* Sergey: Focusing on making strong/stable SIGGRAPH demo of animation.


Meeting agrees we don't like to do planning behind closed-doors and to
to move future meetings into #blendercoders
So others can more easily be involved in 2.8x development.
