Hi Campbell, thanks for checking out. Sad to hear that there doesn't seem to be much feasibility in the ideas , I'd argue, but I'm no programmer, so I don't know what is really feasible or not, except from what "looks easy" or "looks hard". Still, I'd like to rescue some ideas in case you missed them that seem important, not so big, not so hard ( "seem" is the key word here).:
- Cage modifier that acts outside the mesh (it's default in most programs) - vector displacement generation / application, at least in displacement modifier. - Finish nurbs GSOC. - Elastic implicit skinning. - Finish / tighten manta flow integration. Of course there are other things like Modifiers as linkeable datablocks that I would kill for, but I understand that may require too much of refractoring and knowing of the blender code.
