Re: [Bf-committers] Burster web player plugin

2015-05-08 Thread Todor Imreorov
It is interesting, there have been other attempts at this. Html5/webgl is going to kill all these plugins since it runs out of the box. Most users are lazy or unwilling to install browser plugins. Blender can already publish games to html5 that run without the need of any browser plugins.

After more than 3 years of Blender API usage for 3D scene export, Blend4Web team would like to suggest a solution for a simple and fast 3D mesh preparation for the export. We have been using a similar approach for approximately a year and have a good speedup for our large scenes, that are

I believe this is totally worth discussion too :) My comments: - WARN (in addition to INFO and ERROR) - seems good, though I would associate the yellow triangle we already have with 'WARN' and something more red with 'ERROR' - RESET (Reset to defaults) - is FILE_REFRESH not good for this? -

Correct, this binary format will need some deeper investigation before i can extract some data from it. Would it be feasible to extend Collada? Am Freitag, 8. Mai 2015, 17:35:48 schrieb Bastien Montagne: FBX supports custom props… But I’m not quite sure you want to use this nightmare to “read

Good Idea, but better would be custom icons. As you said, every addon has it's own need. Using one icon for different purpose is really disturbing for the user. I can't believe we have volumetrics and SSS and can't load an external png file for custom icons in 2015. Le 08/05/2015 17:00, Ines

I agree custom icons would be more versatile and fill a need, but I also think a good set of default icons can ease the lives of a lot of devs. It's just cumbersome to have to worry about icons, especially if you want to match the existing ones' style somewhat. Icons like weld/ connect, up-

Hi; Below i propose a few new Icons for general purpose. Actually i have named the icons with general purpose in mind, so they are not bound to a specific usecase: - WARN (in addition to INFO and ERROR) - RESET (Reset to defaults) - NEUTRAL (for the neutral element, e.g.: 0, 1, identity matrix,

I don't have an answer, but do have a suggestion. First, and foremost, I agree that this needs work/discussion. I would propose a master set of icons for core Blender features, that others may use as well. Additionally, a general set, still common to Blender operations, but commonly accepted

This *is* worth discussing, but is this a bit off topic here? I think this list is mainly supposed to be for developers working on current blender projects (if I'm not mistaken) and this UI topic tends to inflame some people, either way we should be careful here. :) To address a point or two...
