Hi all, Here's notes from today's meeting in irc.freenode.net #blendercoders:
1) Upcoming 2.66 release - Main release showstopper is problems with Cycles GPU rendering for 32 bits systems. Brecht van Lommel and Sergey Sharybin will work on this the next few days. - Bug tracker has enough issues to keep fixing, but no (other) showstoppers are there. Assuming the Cycles topic gets handled, we'll call for a Release Candidate on wednesday. - Next sunday meeting we'll review the results of the RC release and decide on an actual release day. 2) Other projects, targets for 2.67 - Freestyle: no news... but still possible. - Ton Roosendaal will work on a nice C implementation (+ Py access) for Pie menus. - Brecht: Current Cycles roadmap: SSS, 'Ubershader', Displacement, Volumes, and then Baking. - Stuart Broadfoot will work on Cycles hair closure and a minimum pixel width. - Proposals are being reviewed for Rigid Body Constraints editing and visualization. - Sergey will work on tools for more automatic motion tracking. - Antonis Riakiotakis: will further work on texture paint: http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Psy-Fi/Texture_Paint - Campbell Barton now has a 3d printer, he already works with Dolf Veenvliet on good tools to help 3D print designers. - Ton will work on cleanup of .blend file read/write flagging. This should enable 'template files' for example (like having multiple startups). -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
