[Bf-funboard] Suggestion: Mesh nodes

[Tim Suess]

It looks like this sort of system has been looked at and rejected.

If you have a look at the focus page ( see here:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/Blender2.5/Focus )

*Not targets (at all)*

   - Redesign Blender's internal DataBase or data handling.
   - A complete new updated animation system
   - The Render-export API
   - *Making everything Nodes, Node-tool trees, or Node-Modifier trees. *
   - Allowing Blender to become configured like Maya, 3D Max, etc. You can
   try of course, but our focus remains on Blender artists, and giving them the
   best 3D tool possible.

But you never know, this is just the focus for 2.5. Although i do get the
feeling that this idea was completely rejected.

not to burst your bubble or anything.
