[Bf-committers] Blender developer IRC meeting notes May 8, 2011

2011-05-08 Thread Ton Roosendaal
Hi all,

Relative short meeting today:

1) Blender 2.57+, current projects

- Ton will move to tracker triaging again. Campbell will work on BMesh  
and I/O work more.

- Quality of code: keep module owners informed and if you add stuff,  
check tracker!
   
https://projects.blender.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=27241&group_id=9&atid=498

- Peter Schlaile: are you still available this month? FFmpeg update  
might have issues.

2) GSoC

- How to add branches for students needs decision soon; some students  
could share, mentors will check on who.

3) Other projects

- Brecht: regarding Cycles, this week will focus on integration work,  
for Cycles as well as external engines.

- Sergey: worked with Sean on an option to bake outside 'derivedmesh'  
to save memory, makes bakes possible with 5x more faces in same memory  
footprint (1.9M -> 9M faces).

- Cloth work: Joe has a new solver, he'll further work on this in his  
branch, coordinate it with module owners Daniel/Janne.

Laters,

-Ton-

Hi,

Oops! forgot line of text belonging to point 3:

- In order to keep the option open to have Cycles available as another  
(more free) GPL compliant license, contributors should agree for now  
to commit under BF copyright. Final decision on this should be made  
soon, review of how or what can continue until there's consensus though.

  Not with Sean only. Mostly with Morten Mikkelsen who provided almost 
all math which made able to bake directly from sculpted mesh.

still there. What (additional) issues came up?

There was and are still serious seeking issues caused by the stupid 
ffmpeg seeking code within ffmpeg, which is a) DTS based and b) generally 
assumes more or less a CBR stream on a lot of formats (especially 
prominent ones like MPEGTS streams (HDV)) and will fail horribly, if that 
assumption doesn't hold. (In the case of HDV, dropouts on the tape, which 
are pretty common, are sufficient to make it fail...)

I've finished a seperate indexer, that addresses that problem and builds 
proxies in parallel. I'll commit, when I've found all the bugs in my new code...

Besides that, I don't know of any new issues (I use a very current, ffmpeg 
GIT Feb 19 2011 myself).

Cheers,
Peter
