[Bf-committers] Blender developers meeting notes - 2018-07-09

[Brecht Van Lommel]

Hi all,

Here are the notes from today's developer meeting. Next meeting is Monday,
16 July 10:00 CEST (8:00 UTC).

1) Blender 2.8

* Bug tracker is open for crash reports only now. Reports are coming in
faster than we can handle, so expect there to be some time until a
developer looks at your report.

* Work continues towards Beta milestone:
https://developer.blender.org/T55674

* Campbell is in his last week working from Amsterdam. He will work on
various UI / Keymap / Tool topics, particularly those that need artist
feedback.

* Sergey works on bringing back Subsurf and Multires modifiers fully, using
OpenSubdiv for CPU evaluation to replace our custom CCGSubsurf code.

* Brecht works on workspaces save/load/sharing and OpenGL render as a
render engine for the sequencer or render farms.

* Clément plans to commit the light cache branch this week, as well as
working on adding volume support in the workbench engine.

* Pablo works on the default theme, workspaces, matcaps and environment
maps. Videos from latest week:
