Another question, I am concerned with. What do you mean with "tiles" in the context of the compositor. That a node just processes patches/tiles of an image, so the basic entity, which is processed becomes a tile or even a single pixel?
I hope it's commonly realized that a compositing node always has to process an entire image globally and output an entire image. The processing of each pixel depends on every other pixel in the entire image not just in tiles or on the very one input pixel. It's really that simple, a node can be expressed by a function f(image)->image and not f(tile)->tile or f(pixel)->pixel. Please remember this when doing any design of the new system, otherwise things will be heavily screwed up. aurel On 21 January 2011 08:37, Jeroen Bakker <j.bak...@atmind.nl> wrote: > On 01/21/2011 12:10 AM, Matt Ebb wrote: >> I say this not to be negative, but because there is a lot of room for >> functional improvement in blender's compositor, and if it is to be >> re-coded, it should be done with an eye to workflow and future >> abilities, not just from a purely techno-centric perspective. > I don't see it as negative.
