Re: [Bf-committers] GSoC 2015 BioBlender

2014-11-26 Thread Mike Pan
Hi Brad, Not speaking with any authority, my guess is that it's unlikely. Since BioBlender is not a core part of Blender and the target audience for it is relatively small, the benefit to Blender community as a whole is unfortunately small. However, if it is accepted, I would happy to nominate

I don't think any type of checking will be safe against a determined attacker. One could conceivably rename objects to contain malicious code, and then use these as RNA path in an expression. -m On Fri, May 23, 2014 at 8:57 AM, Vilem Novak pildano...@post.cz wrote: thanks for the reactions.

Agree with Daniel. Perhaps a 'Halt on Error' checkbooks that prevent the rendering if there are any missing libraries, textures or disabled scripts. This should be helpful in a studio environment. M On May 23, 2014 1:13 PM, Daniel Salazar - patazstudio.com zan...@gmail.com wrote: I'm happy

Re: [Bf-committers] Replacing BGL with PyOpenGL

2014-04-07 Thread Mike Pan
As a BGE user, I welcome any upgrade in the graphic pipeline. This sounds like a good idea to modernize BGE's OpenGL capabilities. Will this change require significant work to update the existing add ons that uses the BGL module? Although only Screencast-keys comes to mind. -m On Mon, Apr 7,

Re: [Bf-committers] Upgrading to Python 3.3.2

2013-11-16 Thread Mike Pan
One thing to note: the current release of 3.3.2 is prone to segfaults when used on Mac OS X 10.9 (Maverick) due to this bug: http://bugs.python.org/issue18458, this makes Python unusable in the interpreter. Thus, if possible, I'd suggest waiting for 3.3.3 or at least use 3.3.3RC2 which has the OS

As far as I know, Leap does not have an official Python 3 library yet, so the only way to access the device from Blender is via the web socket. I am eager to play with it too. On Thu, Oct 3, 2013 at 3:31 PM, Sean Olson seanol...@gmail.com wrote: Hey Guys, Just curious if any progress has been

As far as I know, there isn't a workaround for it yet. Disabling double-side lighitng for objects seem to help a lot, but that's as good as it gets. There was a discussion on http://projects.blender.org/tracker/index.php?func=detailaid=29724group_id=9atid=498, but nothing really came out of it.

Hi, I noticed that the tkinter python module is stripped out from the Blender Python installation. Is there a reason for this? Threading issue? Security Concern? Just wondering, since what I am working on projects that can really benefit from having a built-in, cross-platform UI module. Thanks!

2010-04-08 Thread Mike Pan
As far as I know, the first stable release will be called Blender 2.60, not 2.50. 2.60 would be a fine name as it denotes the rather large jump in feature and UI from Blender 2.49. Blender 2.50 would not be a very intuitive name to many users(especially non-power users), who would consider 2.49
