[Bf-committers] GSoC 2012
Hey guys, Just wanted to introduce myself for GSoC. My name's Jason and I'm a second-year undergrad at Binghamton University in New York (the U.S.). I've always been a huge Photoshop user and graphics nerd, but I somehow never got into 3D. I think GSoC is a great opportunity to get involved with the development side of 3D/gamey stuff, and I'd still like to contribute in the case that I don't get selected for GSoC. I just finished building Blender, and I'm looking through the ideas list. One topic that sticks out for me is the game engine--which I'll have to play with. Do you guys have any advice for a newbie to Blender and 3D development? -Jason ___ Bf-committers mailing list Bf-committers@blender.org http://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers
Re: [Bf-committers] GSoC 2012
Hello Jason, You could start by checking out some video tutorials at Blender Cookie (http://cgcookie.com/blender/category/tutorials/game-engine/). Note that some of the tutorials are focused on using Blender with Unity, but there are also some BGE ones. I would also recommend getting on some IRC channels on freenode: #blendercoders - The main Blender development channel #gameblender - A channel for BGE support #blender - A channel for general Blender support #bgecoders - A development channel focused on the BGE, but not very active I would recommend at least visiting #blendercoders. I tend to hang out in all of these channels and I use the nick Moguri. If I'm online, go ahead and give me a poke; I'd be happy to talk about the BGE with you. Cheers, Mitchell Stokes PS For anyone wanting to get into development, one of the first things you'll want to figure out, is how to build Blender: http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:2.5/Doc/Building_Blender On Wed, Mar 21, 2012 at 8:53 AM, Jason Tu jason...@gmail.com wrote: Hey guys, Just wanted to introduce myself for GSoC.

Re: [Bf-committers] gsoc 2012
I proposed integrating physbam on the blenderartists thread, and got some positive replies. Now the point was brought up that this would render all the hard work that went into the current simulation tools obsolete. There is a point to that, but imho I think that this would be a mayor step into bringing blender up to date as a vfx tool. Is it better to overhaul the whole system and make it future-proof or keep the old stuff and have the problem of abandonement (like the fluid sim for example)? I think it's not the worst of ideas to have a library that's developed externally for a feature of that scope. There are undeniable upsides to the physbam library. The often talked about interaction between simulations, e.g. burning liquids or cloth interacting with fluids is possible with it, because it works in a unified domain. Letterrip, I think you uttered the worries that there is no access to the various modules unless one has contributed. Last time I checked (about 3 months ago), all the modules were readily avaioable in the source, some also including example files. I think it's more feasible to integrate a tried-and-true library than to tinker with the current tools and make efforts to bring them to a more professional level. Because most of the users wishes on the blenderartist thread are already builtin, be it the interaction between sims or moving obstacles for smoke sim. I'm not a coder so I'm just throwing this in here for discussion. But the opportunity to integrate a library that would make such an impact on blenders vfx capabilities should at least be discussed, not rejected because much 'own' work would be made obsolete by it.

Totally off-topic (and I apologize for that) but... I looked at the files you can download from the physbam website and there indeed is a limited subset of the modules available to the public, they merely promise to open it all up sometime in the future but for now you need to jump through some serious hoops to even get cvs read-only access and I doubt the resulting (non-released) code would be free/libre.

Re: [Bf-committers] GSoC 2012
Hi pankajg, we currently are in the process of applying for gsoc, so it isn't even clear if we will be a mentoring organization this year (though we certainly hope so). If we are accepted we would certainly welcome you to apply. A first good step would be to download blender and build it, then try and do a small change such as add a small feature or fix a bug. Students who have contributed patches to blender, will tend to get more consideration since they have demonstrated that they understand the code and can find their way around well enough to actually do something useful with it.
