Hi LetterRip, Konrad your proposal sounds good but as you note you will need a bit more details on schedule. Thank you! I'm working on the missing parts of my proposal ;) Something to consider if it isn't in the library already is dynamic loading and unloading of level of detail textures.

Mobile Blending sounds amazing (I'm picking up an iPad for development soon, and would LOVE to use Blender on it).  My only concern there: Multitouch should, I think, be a required deliverable. Blender on mobile devices would indeed be cool. But with regards to the iPad, my understanding is

Hi, I've developed a patch for the UNC path problem which allow Blender to run from a UNC path. See http://projects.blender.org/tracker/index.php?func=detailaid=21836group_id =9atid=498 for details. Where would I look to add support for UNC paths in the open and save dialogs? Regards, Rob.

Hi Harley, What we need, you and I, is to find a dev with commit rights that has an interest in these issues... And you've found one :) - see my previous email. - Andrea (elubie) ___ Bf-committers mailing list Bf-committers@blender.org

[Bf-committers] Beta patch for cmake-MinGW compilation

2010-03-30 Thread Ryan Tralalaian
Yay my first patch! I hope I am not the only man on the planet interested in that. In any case, I managed to get blender compiled with cmake on MinGW but I get strange issues with the display plus not python found message at the start. Any suggestions welcome!

Hi, ok, I guess if we can make sure that the user normally doesn't have to set anything and we don't have to change any system settings we should be ok. Remember that we do want to still provide a single directory install (zip file) where the user can run blender without needing to set up

Hi Sergey, I think it's a bad idea to clear points during evaluation. It's unpredictable from a user point of view, and can give problems with the dependency graph and threading. Second, you still have to check it on evaluation because linked objects may change type (or the object itself may be

[Bf-committers] Snap Selection to Origin - pointless operator?

2010-03-30 Thread Matt Ebb
Hi, I was investigating this bug report today [#21760] Snap to Origin doesn't work [1]. Its behaviour is a bit odd, in edit mode and object mode basically it's the same as scaling the selection to zero. Current behaviour with armatures in pose mode is even stranger, it tries to put the selected
