[Bf-committers] Mask-based extraction modifier
Hi. Someone did a script that could create geometry from mask, in the same way as it is done in Zbrush, to create clothes for characters. https://github.com/MadMinstrel/blender-sculpt-tools/blob/master/meshExtract.py I was wondering if this script could be made into a modifier, with more advanced features such as thickness, single side extract etc. This kind of modifier would be pretty useful in some cases, in sculpting pipeline. (see Zbrush examples). ___ Bf-committers mailing list Bf-committers@blender.org http://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers

[Bf-committers] Blender Pyo support ( sound creation )
Hi. Some time ago, I wrote the idea of a Blender Daw component. That idea was met with a lot of disagreement, because coding such a large feature from scratch would require a dedicated developper. Meanwhile, I have found something interesting, that might be a great base for sound digital processing in Blender. It is called Pyo, and it is a sound processing/generation Python module that could be integrated in Blender. https://code.google.com/p/pyo/ ___ Bf-committers mailing list Bf-committers@blender.org http://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers
[Bf-committers] Camera biggest problem-solution proposal
Hi. In Blender, the camera has a zoom limit. As you zoom, the pan and zoom speed is lower, until you realise that you can't zoom or pan anymore. I have a proposal on how to solve this: in Unity terms- a raycast. So, the camera emmits a raycast, that hits a surface. If the lenght of the raycast is smaller, the zoom and pan speed is automaticly lower. If the raycast is longer, the reverse. The raycast could not be just a straight line, it could be some sort of cone, so, if an object is very far away, it would be easier to hit it. I think this would very well solve the problem in which camera gets stuck, without resetting the view. The raycast could also be limited to current selected object. ___ Bf-committers mailing list Bf-committers@blender.org http://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers
[Bf-committers] New game engine-no GPL
As you know, Blender Game Engine has a GPL license, that makes devs go away. I have heard on the internet that the GPL license can't be changed, because there are too many developpers involved in this, and it would be impossible to contact everyone. What I propose is to create a new game engine from scratch or with non-GPL engine parts, that could be the second Blender game engine. Think of Cycles, along with Blender Internal Renderer. In this way, there would be bigger interest in this. The GPL license should not have been adopted from the very start. ___ Bf-committers mailing list Bf-committers@blender.org http://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers

Hi. I have a suggestion for you. Could you make the array modifier have the features like in here?(I refer to rotation especially, around pivot/cursor) http://cdn.tutsplus.com/cg/authors/ben-tate/Maya_Toothbrush_6.jpg . Making an empty object to use it as pivot is not a very straight-forward idea. With this arangement, it looks easier to work with.

Re: [Bf-committers] Blender on Android-still alive?
Controlling Blender remotely is also a nice thing, but I am thinking a way of running the app itself directly on mobile processors. Here is a cool controll scheme I tought for touchscreen, very fast. On UI, it looks like a joystick pad, which has two arrows, one above, and another under it. The joystick controlls xy camera movement and the arrows z (up-down). Holding down and dragging anywhere on the screen pans the camera. If you drag the joystick up and in the same time press the up arrow, you get a different type of move. That joystick could also be used for translating objects. Let's take just an axis, x. Imagine that axis like an edge, with two vertices at its ends: vertex A, in one part, and vertex B, in the other part. On the axis, there is a sphere. If you turn the camera, and point A is closer to you, then draw the joystick down, (if you have the translate button activated), the object slides towards point A. If you turn the edge, so point B is closer to you, then you move again the joystick down, the sphere slides towards point B. So, the camera position, object relative position to the camera and axis orientation could be feeded into the code for this to work. For further tweaking, sliding on the right part on the screen could add more precision. I think that this controll method is very fast, for touch-screen devices.

Re: [Bf-committers] Blender on Android-still alive?
What I have found so far is this: There is a Blender player for games, but the links seem broken. http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Doc:2.6/Manual/Introduction/Installing_Blender/Android And with some struggle Blender itself could run on Android http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RwmU1DqroR4&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DRwmU1DqroR4 Things that could be redone are the interface and controll scheme. I am thinking of an interface with white and glowing blue, menu-dropping tabs . I am thinking at a new custom controll scheme, that could work really well, with joysticks. On the right, the joystick that mooves the camera horizontal, (like W A S D controlls) and on the right a up-down stick that moves the camera vertically. Making the camera to ''look at'' something could be done by holding and dragging any part of the "canvas". Short press selects a component.

[Bf-committers] Blender soft select feature
Hi. I have some questions. Does Blender have something similar to soft selection in Maya? That feature is very useful, especially for morphs. Soft selection is something like that: you click a vertex, and all the vertices around get some colours.(usually yellow red and black). If you translate the vertex, the yellow vertices around move with it, red move a little and black very little. By holding the B key, you can get the fallof circle radius bigger or smaller. The soft select can be customized with a feature named falloff curve. I think that soft select is a great tool for morphs or for precision sculpting. Does Blender have something similar? I miss that tool. ___ Bf-committers mailing list Bf-committers@blender.org http://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers
[Bf-committers] Blender new interface suggestion
I have a suggestion for you: a new Blender interface. The actual one is quite claustrophobic. The viewport is too small compared to the surrounding pannels. I suggest you to make an interface similar to Maya. There are a lot of 3D softwares that use this kind of interface , with icons. From Blender 2.5 , the interface got better . Here is what I propose next: Tool shelf- very thin, with tools with icons. File/edit bar updated so the edges and specials menus to be easily found there. Object mode/edit mode/sculpt mode button moved up, above the 3D view. Smaller frame bar. The idea is that the 3D view window to be as big as possible, and the other elements arranged in a more intuitive way, to be more confortable to the user. Also, an upper icon shelf is also good to add. ___ Bf-committers mailing list Bf-committers@blender.org http://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers
Re: [Bf-committers] Blender as a sound/music software

[Bf-committers] Blender as a sound/music software
So...firstly Blender low poly 3D modeller, an organic modeller, a game engine and a movie editor. I've got a cool concept of something to add: Sound editor. As an indie game developprr, you often use the same instances of sounds than hundreds or thousands used before, with no editing. Secondly, if in a game there are more sound sources that emmit the same sound, let's say the fountains in Oblivion, an unpleasant effect of filtering appears. So you need more instances of the same sound. So, for indies, a sound creation/facility would be useful. Are there free resources for the effects or generators? Yes...there are thousands of free VST plugins ready for use in any situation . Here is the interface I've tought of: There are two windows, one above the other. The lower one, smaller, is the mixer. It contains channels. Above each channel, there is a jack. The Upper window, bigger, is the canvas. Here each effect or generator is displayed as a loose box that shows an icon with that vst interface in case of effect vst, or a preview of notes, in the case of a generator vst. Clicking a box brings up the full vst interface. Clicking the notes button on the generator plugin box brings up the midi notes editor(if you simply click on box, the generator interface, let's say Kontakt 5, is displayed.).As I mentioned, each box can be moved around on the canvas. Each box has an output, respectively an imput for effects plugin. Each box can be connected with the other, as in the case of Blender Shaders. The final connection is from the last effect to one of the jacks on the mixer. So...here are the steps . 1. File >import> generator vst. A box appears with that vst interface. 2. Click the notes button on the box A midi table appears, allowing me to edit notes. 3. Close the notes window and click on the middle of the box, now with notes preview on it The Kontakt interface appears, allowing me to select instrument. 4. File-import-effect vst Another box appears. 3. Connect generator output to effect imput. 4. Connect effect output to one of the coresponding mixer channel jack and you're done.
