[Bf-committers] GSoC 2011
Hi all, I'm sure you all know Google Summer of Code 2011 has commenced and now underway. I personally am looking forward to completing a GSoC project for Blender Organization. Because I'm very much interested in Blender development and I have worked with Blender developers in COLLADA support for the last few months or so. But I still don't know for sure about the current stand on Blender Organization regarding GSoC 2011. The submission of mentoring organizations applications for GSoC 2011 has begun and the deadline is on March 11th. Has the Blender Organization submitted a Mentoring Organization application? And also is there a idea list being compiled? I already inquired similar matters in the IRC channels and thought it would be OK to start a discussion in the mailing list as well.

Re: [Bf-committers] Feature idea: material assigment for modifiers
On Mon, Feb 28, 2011 at 7:41 PM, Bassam Kurdali bkurd...@freefactory.org wrote: I spoke with Campbell on irc, and he suggested I mail this to the list as a general proposal. It came up from me wanting a different material assignment for the inner and outer faces of a solidify modifier (as opposed to just the rim). Campbell suggested that hacking this in would be easy but a bit ugly; he proposed that a more generalized feature that would work for any modifier, in a consistent way, would be better. Indeed I could easily imagine this being desirable for at least: Solidify (currently just rim, but also inner outer) Mirror Bevel Array Boolean (already works by inheriting original materials?) List of concerns: -Blender does not guarantee material order is the same (e.g. when joining) -a way to modify materials used might not work reliably -doing it only for Solidify feels arbitrary, since it might be useful anytime you generate new faces-a more general way would be better (hence this proposal) -referencing material by index is crappy and likely to break -referencing directly could work, with the restriction that it exists in the mesh/object (is this a certain restriction? could it just be there in the scene?) -referencing the materials using an offset rather than index, so you can have multiple materials assigned to the mesh, and offset them for generated faces. -an imperfect but general known way that works for all modifiers would be acceptable. I think I've covered everything we talked about; My current need is only for solidify (rigged thin sheets with a requirement to have something only printed on one side)- and I can work around this in multiple ways, so no real pressure. A more general solution would be more useful/ future proof. cheers Bassam PS- whatever the choice, the assignment, whether by material, index, or index offset should be visible in the modifier panel; just a checkbox would be ultimately ugly, since (other than tooltips) there would be no user visible/adjustable way of selecting the required material. (you can do so for indexes in the material properties by putting the right materials in the right slots, but this feels quite hidden) Hi Bassam, Ton is ok with using a material index offset for modifiers, will try add to solidify today. ___ Bf-committers mailing list Bf-committers@blender.org http://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers

Re: [Bf-committers] Bullet physics update
The BGE already has a perfect location for such 'exportBulletFile' method in KX_PyConstraintBinding.cpp This would only be around 10 lines of code, and I will add this debugging/export option soon.

Re: [Bf-committers] Bullet physics update
I am sorry, I wasn't being clear; my intention was that there'd be a bpy-side python function that would start gameengine with the only intent of exporting a bullet-file (similarly to what I do with 2.49b). Would not require much coding since this would would effectively use the same c++-code as the bge-side function. I don't know if there are some hidden problems to this and I think both bge- and bpy-export functions are required since they serve different purposes. Bpy-version would just provide clean access for exporting the data. Newbie, be patient please :) 2011/3/3 Mitchell Stokes moguri...@gmail.com Joshua Leung's (Aligorith's) GSoC project last year involved Bullet simulations in Blender (without using the BGE). I think he updated Bullet in his branch. You might want to have a chat with him.
