Hi all, Here are the notes from today's developer meeting. Next meeting is Monday, 8 October 10:00 CEST (8:00 UTC).
1) Developers * Philipp Oeser (lichtwerk) is back to manage the bug tracker, which we're very happy about! * Sergey is on holidays for 3 weeks. 2) Blender 2.8 * Cloth collision was rewritten to improve performance, stability, and reliability. https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/Reference/Release_Notes/2.80/More_Features#Cloth https://twitter.com/LucaRood/status/1044979412683436032 * Grease Pencil gained new parameters for the instance modifier and a new shadow effect: https://youtu.be/s_LrHKrhGtU https://youtu.be/41rojcWBu1Q * The shrinkwrap modifier gained features to control which vertices get projected and how. https://developer.blender.org/D3717 https://developer.blender.org/D3737 * The 3D viewport got improvements for weight paint drawing, wireframe toggling, edit curve/surface drawing. * Pie menus are now used for snap, pivot and proportional editing. * Addons can now register tabs and panels in the sidebar in the 3D viewport, instead of the toolbar which is now for tools only. * A new Python API for material I/O based on shader nodes was added. This is now used by the OBJ addon. * Multi-object editing for mesh and UVs is now basically complete. * The movie clip editor UI was updated to follow the new UI layout conventions. * Templates have been updated, mainly there is a new Sculpting template. * The new icon set designed by Andrzej Ambroz is almost ready to replacing the existing icons, mainly needs code support for color theming still.
