[Soc-2008-dev] Friday Reports!

[Nicholas Bishop]

Here's my Friday report:

a) Previous week:
Did some prototyping work; I created a throwaway test using a
modification of the subsurf modifier to try out some of the ideas
outlined by Brecht for how the new multires modifier will function
>From that test, I committed a couple of very basic things to my branch
(boilerplate code for the multires modifier and a new customdata layer
for displacements)
b) Next week:
I need to do some more thinking about how sculpt mode will interact
with the new multires displacements, then run that by Brecht.
Displaying multires displacements is pretty easy; editing them is much
trickier, so I want to focus on that issue early on in the design.
c) I think I covered that above (editing of the displacements)
d) On schedule, I think. Doing the prototype probably didn't produce
much useful code, but it was very helpful for seeing where I'm going
and what problems are still unaddressed.
