Re: [Bf-committers] Mirror and array modifiers for curves
Hi Tobias, I agree that this is an interesting potential direction for the NURBS tools in Blender. For now I think it is important to get the 'static' tools in place first, and to worry about dynamic modifiers once the toolset is mature. Sergey and Laurynas and myself are all looking at different parts of this now, and hopefully when this fundamental work is complete in a few months we can start to look at the 'fancy' stuff :) -Emmanuel On Fri, Apr 23, 2010 at 5:11 AM, Tobias Beyrer tobiasbey...@googlemail.com wrote: /nazgul wrote//Thu Feb 25 19:56:49 CET 2010/: Hi, Blender community!

Such a system could be really beneficial for the future of nurbs in blender. 1. Effect(shortterm): the ability apply the existing constructive modifiers and still having a nurbs object afterwards 2. Effect(midterm): possibility to write new modifiers like Boolean and more nurbs specific ones, like project, loft, swift/bevel, split along an object, etc. 3. Effect(longterm): dependency for the development of a constructive node system for nurbs modeling (in combination with the upcoming global[gamelogic] nodesystem) Of course the efforts in that direction should be made ontop of libnurbana, in order to avoid extra work to convert it, when nurbs25 branch is added to trunk.

[Bf-committers] Commit rights for Sergey I. Sharybin (nazgul)
This sounds like a good point to replace the existing NURBS architecture with the libNurbana backend. The code has been stable enough to do this for some time, but I was waiting until more functionality was exposed in the UI before suggesting it. Sergey, I'm glad that you're on board, there is a lot of work that's needed on the UI side of things :) However, if there will be changes made to curves/NURBS in the head, it will make maintaining a parallel branch much more difficult or impossible. I believe the libNurbana backend is faster, more feature rich and easier to maintain than the existing code. If I make up a patch that adds libNurbana to the head, will someone review it? -Emmanuel On Fri, Mar 5, 2010 at 6:19 AM, Brecht Van Lommel bre...@blender.org wrote: Hi, I've granted commit rights to Sergey for working on nurbs and curves.

Re: [Bf-committers] Mirror and array modifiers for curves
To take it one step further, it would be ultimately a good idea (although not immediately) to have a modifier system for the construction of complex NURBS structures. I haven't looked at the modifier system at all to know how feasible this is, but if someone wanted to take a look, I would be happy to act as a mentor for the NURBS part.

Re: [Bf-committers] status of branches
I'm currently playing catchup with all the 2.5 changes, but I think I'm nearly there. After that I plan to work on getting a basic set of essential tools integrated/written. This stage is a bit vague, as the 'minimum' set of tools could be quite small or quite large depending on who you talk to. Ultimately the decision when to merge with the head is up to the core dev team whether it is better to wait for a more full feature set, or just replace the current tools (+ a little more) with the libNurbana backend. The latter could be achieved in a matter of weeks as the engine is quite stable for some time now, the former is a question of months at least. -Emmanuel On Tue, Jan 26, 2010 at 10:39 PM, Tom M letter...@gmail.com wrote: Hi all just thought it might be interesting to get an update on the status of some of the branches in particular I'm interested in how the following projects are progressing, and anticipated timeline (if any) for merging to head Nurbana BMesh Lightpaint Freestyle any others that I'm overlooking?

Re: [Bf-committers] New Developer Meeting minutes
I have also been using the CMake files with MSVC for the past year or so in Debug and Release. It takes a bit of tweaking, but so do most build systems. I also think scons is fantastic for getting a build up quickly and simply, but as many people have pointed out project files are great for development. I think both CMake and Scons have a place right now, and I don't think anyone needs to be taking sides :) -Emmanuel p.s.

Yes, I had OpenCollada enabled, it works fine with the debug build in the projectfiles, so why shouldn't it work with the cmake files? Did you file an issue with details in the bug tracker (with full callstack at crash)? not yet, because I didn't have much information. As far as I remember there wasn't even a call stack, because the application refused to start up. It crashed while loading the dlls at startup.
