Hello everyone. I want to work on blender this summer, and of the many fine ideas listed, "non-traditional devices" interests me the most. Before writing a proposal, I wanted to ask: who else is interested in pursuing this? neXyon, I see that one of your proposals is "tablet blending", but that you have many other interests as well. I'm capable of doing some of the other ideas, but strongly prefer this one.
I'd like to focus on the Intuos4 and SpaceNavigator, perhaps not multi-touch. From reading the code, it seems that tablet position, pressure and tilt are all in place, so is something missing at a higher level? That tablet's wheel and buttons are interesting, and could perhaps function as more than keystroke equivalents. I found several posts over the years about the BF working with 3D Connexion on SpaceNavigator support, but also found some confusion about plugins and whether or not these devices work out of the box or need a special build. Beyond the devices working properly and completely, I would focus on effective UI for painting and sculpting. I hope there is enough to do here, so I will have an excuse to buy some devices and enable blender to get the most out of them. This Graphire tablet has been begging for replacement! If you can offer guidance on any of these issues, please let me know.
