Hi all, Here are the notes from today's 14 UTC meeting in irc.freenode.net #blendercoders.
1) Release targets for Blender 2.76 - Planning: http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Doc/Projects - According to schedule, we move to BCon3 today. That means that the release targets are defined, only what's agreed on and listed will go to git master. - Target 'PTex' is going to be postpned again... we might need another developer to assist. Also to check on UDIM texture support. - OpenSubdiv is in progress. Sergey suggests to make it a build option, because of OS X not supporting a mix of OpenGL 4 calls and older versions. Discussion on this is open... will be done here and/or in IRC. - AMD news: OS X driver team managed to get the old Cycles ("Mega Kernel") compile and work, the next update of the beta "El Capitan" OS X should (might?) have this driver, we'll keep you posted. The OS X team is working with us on getting split kernel to work too. - Interesting article, AMD writing about their Blender commitment: http://developer.amd.com/community/blog/2015/07/10/collaboration-and-open-source-at-amd-blender-cycles/ - Antonis Ryakiotakis: speed optimizations for viewport are ready for master. Doc coming. 2) Other projects - Joshua Leung works on new Grease Pencil 'sculpt' feature for 2.77: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=krpuHYhOmOw - Joerg Mueller: the new Audaspace library will go to the system libraries and not into external, so that we can check how building with that works out. - Campbell worked on script setup to do more exact OpenGL performance benchmarking. https://gitlab.com/ideasman42/blender-fps-bench/tree/master (Volunteers needed to add content and create a great Blender bench for gfx cards). - Gooseberry final dev report is still in progress... -Ton- -------------------------------------------------------- Ton Roosendaal - [email protected] - www.blender.org Chairman Blender Foundation - Producer Blender Institute Entrepotdok 57A - 1018AD Amsterdam - The Netherlands _______________________________________________ Bf-committers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers
