Re: [Bf-committers] GSoC 2017: Introduction, Sequencer Playback Optimization

Hello Tom, Thanks for the welcome and introduction. I had actually forgotten to post a link to my draft proposal in my original post (oops!), so to all those who are interested: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1iWuIHo6Xb34Wq3k-9jms6EcKJCgipSYqJ9RBzlnf-rs/edit?usp=sharing

Hi Johnathon, Looking forward to seeing your proposal. It is quite close to the deadline (less than 24 hours away for student proposals to be submitted to https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/ ) Please see https://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Ref/GoogleSummerOfCode/2017 and specifically - http

Re: [Bf-committers] GSoC 2017 - Cycles Motion Blur Improvements

Hi, 1. Guess the technique is called Sampled motion blur, combined with the importance sample over the camera shutter time. 2. I do not see how those algorithms are connected to motion blur and also not clear which exact algorithm you're referring to. Is it a generic quesiton or you see how this i

Re: [Bf-committers] GSoC 2017: Camera breathing support

Hi Dalai, Thanks for noting the existence of blender-vfx mailing list, and your reply. But I think you might have misunderstood the goal of this project. Maybe the name ‘camera breathing’ is misleading because it refers to the shifting of angle view of lens when changing the focus. However, thi

Re: [Bf-committers] GSoC 2017: Anamorphic Breathing in Cycles(Wanxuan Sun)

Hi, Just a small detail: Cycles is licensed by Apache2. So model should be compatible with that, and that will make it compatible with GPL as well. I'm also not sure how you can license model itself, so don't see big issue here. There are several work done in related topics: - Custom lens mappin

Re: [Bf-committers] GSoC 2017: Anamorphic Breathing in Cycles(Wanxuan Sun)

Hi, 1) We want to reproduce a realistic camera breathing effect that matches the expected behaviour for the lens settings. How is that not clear? 2) If the "models" are compatible with our (GPL) license, and can be integrated in Cycles I can't see why not. 3) That's the closer we ever had (read

Re: [Bf-committers] GSOC 2017 improving python editor

It may be possible to use Blender as a Jupyter "kernel". Using asyncio, it may be possible to implement the jupyter protocol which in turn uses zeromq. However, the zmq libraries have C extensions and I have not been able to import them in Blender properly. On Sun, Mar 26, 2017 at 5:16 PM, andij.

Hi Levon, Thank you so much this long reply. First of all, I’ve been looking for user tests and suggestions for the multi-view reconstruction project. If you have ideas for making it better, just feel free to drop me emails. On the other hand, it is still a quite large patch. So we need time to

Re: [Bf-committers] GSoC 2017: Cycles features & Package management

Regarding a package manager: I think one of the key features should be a way to handle dependencies between addons. One example would be the asyncio functionality. Yes, asyncio is already in the standard library, but the loop implementation is not. If there are multiple addons using asyncio it wou

Re: [Bf-committers] GSoC 2017: Cycles features & Package management

God luck with your application. While I am no authority it does seem that lens breathing and other artifacts like softness or dispersion and reflections would be lens specific. How lenses are characterised could be an extensive list. Would you make variables to play with and eye match? Audio nodes

Dear Varun, Yes, with strong Python and C skills you should be able to navigate the code base. In addition to that, I think it would also be helpful to know the basics of computer graphics. Especially in the area that you would like to work in. To get started with Blender, I'd suggest you do th
