Hi all, 1) Blender 2.63 Release Candidate
- Testing is in progress still, a bit more testing is always good. Campbell Barton reports that the showstoppers in BMesh were handled now. - Release log in progress: http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Ref/Release_Notes/2.63 - Todo for everyone: docs, docs docs! - Pablo Vazquez will migrate this to wiki: (with permission of author) http://gamefromscratch.com/post/2012/04/20/Blender-BMesh-in-action%E2%80%A6-what%E2%80%99s-so-special-about-ngons-anyways.aspx - Brecht van Lommel updates the cycles doc in wiki - Thomas Dinges will help with the download page on blender.org, and will try to find time to move release page to blender.org as well. Brecht/Sergey are backup for this. - Release Ahoy might happen this wednesday! 2) Other projects - Antonis Ryakiotakis proposes to add ming64 support for building Blender, he will maintain that. - Sergey Sharybin worked on a more advanced keying node; with better color formulas and sampling, and optional marker/tracker support for advanced gradient detection. - Howard Trickey shows his new modifier to render wireframes: http://halley.cc/paste/outline-modifier-tests-1.png - lukas Toenne did node work; frame node, node edit features (coloring) http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Phonybone/FrameUpgrade http://www.pasteall.org/31131/diff - Ton Roosendaal mentions an urgent need for a new web team. Will do call soon. In the meantime he proposes to add a new header to the existing site, like http://thewooddesign.com/blender/samplehome/ (but with less nervous transitions :). 3) Google Summer of Code Tomorrow students will get contacted by Google about their proposals! We then will present the names on this list and make a new exciting salad bowl or so :) Thanks, -Ton- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ton Roosendaal Blender Foundation [email protected] www.blender.org Blender Institute Entrepotdok 57A 1018AD Amsterdam The Netherlands _______________________________________________ Bf-committers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers
