Hi all, Here are the notes from today's developer meeting. Next meeting is Monday, 25 February 10:00 CET / 9:00 UTC.
1) New Features and Changes The focus continues to be on bug fixing and refining Blender 2.80. About 80 bugs were fixed last week. * Cycles OpenCL compilation times have been reduced, using multithreaded compilation. (Jeroen Bakker, Lukas Stockner). * Cycles animation denoising is now available as a Python operator, taking one or more rendered frames as input and producing a denoised frame. There is no user interface for this yet, that comes later. (Lukas Stockner, Tangent Animation, Brecht Van Lommel). * Eevee now supports rendering of image sequence and movies. (Brecht Van Lommel) * Eevee lights not have units in Watt. (Brecht Van Lommel) * Wireframe drawing has had some further improvements in terms of quality, and now also supports wide lines on macOS. (Clément Foucault) * User interface layout tweaks for various panels. (William Reynish) * Keymap: new preference for shortcuts to work both with tap and pie menu. For example Z can be used to both toggle wireframe mode and open the shading mode pie menu. (Campbell Barton) * Keymap: Alt+N now flips normals in edit mode. (Campbell Barton) * Simplify settings now have an option to globally disable high resolution smoke volume drawing. (Sergey Sharybin) 2) Development * More outliner visibility changes were discussed among developers and designers. https://developer.blender.org/T61578 3) Weekly Reports * Bastien: https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/User:Mont29/Foundation/2019#Week_278_-_01.2F05_to_01.2F11 * Brecht: https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/User:Brecht/Reports/2019#February_11_-_15 * Campbell: https://download.blender.org/ftp/ideasman42/donelist/2019.html#week-312-february-11 * Clément: https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/User:Hypersomniac/Foundation/2019#Week_110_:_11th_-_17th_Feb * Dalai: https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/User:Dfelinto/Reports/2019#February_11_-_15 * Jacques: https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/User:JacquesLucke/Reports/2019#Week_20:_February_11_-_15 * Jeroen: https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/User:Jbakker/reports/2019 * Philipp: https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/User:PhilippOeser/Foundation/2019#Calendar_Week_7_.28Feb_11th_-_Feb_15th.29 * Sebastian: https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/User:Zeddb#February_11_-_15 * Sergey: https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/User:Sergey/Foundation/2019#Week_373:_11th_-_17th_February _______________________________________________ Bf-committers mailing list Bf-committers@blender.org https://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers
