Hi all, Here are the notes from today's developer meeting. Next meeting is Monday, 12 November 18:00 CET (17:00 UTC).
1) New Features and Changes * EEVEE added overscan support, to render a bit more pixels for better screen space effects. * EEVEE now fully supports node groups, which had some bugs before. * The properties editor now has vertical tabs on the side, rather than horizontal in the header. * The Brushes and tool selection UI is being changed based on feedback from the Grease Pencil team. This is still a work in progress. * Image empties now have option to display in background and only in perspective/orthographic mode, getting them closer to the old background images. Still more UI work needed here. * Multi-object editing for curves is mostly complete now. * The dopesheet editor now has options to display keyframe interpolation and extremes, making it possible to edit animation without opening the curve editor in more cases. * Keyframes can now be inserted in a way that takes into account cyclic curves. * Addons ported to 2.8: Scatter Objects, IvyGen, 3D Viewport Pie Menus, Math Vis. * Many small UI polishing changes. 2) Blender 2.8 Beta Plans * Bastien: completing and documenting scene and object editing Python API. * Brecht: left-click select keymap and compatibility with tools system. * Campbell: completing tools system, especially how it relates to brushes. * Clément: EEVEE documentation and OpenGL bug fixing. * Dalai: fixing metaballs bugs and multi-object editing. * Jacques: completing image empties, helping with drawing API docs if needed. * Sergey: multiresolution and restoring physics systems. * Philipp: triaging and fixing bugs in the tracker. 3) Weekly Reports * Bastien: https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/User:Mont29/Foundation/2018#Week_268_-_10.2F27_to_11.2F02 * Brecht: https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/User:Brecht/Reports/2018#October_29_-_2 * Campbell: https://download.blender.org/ftp/ideasman42/donelist/2018.html#week-298-october-29 * Clément: https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/User:Hypersomniac/Foundation/2018#Week_95_:_29th_-_4th_Nov * Dalai: https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/User:Dfelinto/Reports/2018#October_29_-_November_2 * Jacques: https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/User:JacquesLucke/Reports/2018#Week_7:_October_29_-_2 * Philipp: https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/User:PhilippOeser/Foundation/2018#Week_44_.28Oct_29th_-_Nov_2nd.29 * Sergey: https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/User:Sergey/Foundation/2018#Week_359:_29th_October_-_4th_November _______________________________________________ Bf-committers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers
