Meeting notes for developer meeting in #blender-coders on blender.chat. September 23, 2019. 10:00 CEST (08:00 UTC).
Let me know if anything is missing in either #blender-coders or on devtalk.blender.org https://devtalk.blender.org/t/23-september-2019/9635 Road to 2.81 ============ Continued work on improving and stabilizing until October 10th. * Triaging playbook [1] has been helpful already for some cases. Users who want to know how to report bugs can look up the process explained in this video [2] * Rigify has had a rather large rewrite [3], so Alexander Gavrilov hopes for intensified testing by users New Features and Changes ======================== Only smaller changes this week as we shift our focus to polishing new features and stabilizing. About 90 bugs were fixed last week. * Eevee and viewport optimization for drawing many objects and instances, by batching draw calls. (Clément Foucault) * File Browser: preference to open in new window or fullscreen, and various user interface tweaks. (Julian Eisel) * Render: the render display choice is now a preference, rather than a scene settings. (Julian Eisel) * Sequencer: new operators to easily create f-curves to fade video and auto strips in and out. (Nathan Lovato) * Sculpting: * Pose brush now draws an origin preview. (Pablo Dobarro) * Split brush settings for original normal and plane. (Pablo Dobarro) * Icons for the new sculpting tools. (William Reynish) * Python API: * New `Quaternion.toswingtwist` to decompose a rotation into swing and twist components. (Alexander Gavrilov) * New `ImBuf.filepath` to access the file path of an image buffer. (Colin Basnett) Projects under development ========================== Current timeline for 2.82 can be viewed on the milestone project page [4] * Mantaflow is being worked on with 2.82 in mind (Sebastián Barschkis, Bastien Montagne) * Pablo Dobarro wants an initial design for multilayer/channel painting. He will create a design task for that /Nathan [1] https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/Process/Bug_Reports/Triaging_Playbook [2] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTD0OJq_rF4 [3] https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/Reference/Release_Notes/2.81/Add-ons#Rigify [4] https://developer.blender.org/project/view/89/ _______________________________________________ Bf-committers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers
