I had a try recently and got some python particles (programmable boids) working-ish... Too busy to complete them now though so not useful yet! Keep an eye out for them maybe in the future though!! ;) I did the same with svn under linux too! GI would be cool but maybe a bit complicated, try something simpler for a first project! I have a book on GI and I've read quite a few papers, so if you do decide to implement it anyway, email me/leave a comment on my blog! (you'd probably be the first ever!) Bear in mind that I'm pretty unfamiliar with C/C++ atm, though I hope to learn some when I get the chance! Have fun tinkering with blender's code! ~epat. :) Go for it!

For some time I've been tracing svn changes (with compiling under linux) so I've got enviroment almost ready :) Sanne, thanks for the links - I think I'm gonna start to code some Blender's parts.

I'm quite OK with C/C++, maybe I could help improving Blender? (What I really miss is Global Ilumination and color "leaking" features). But where to start?

Is this code related to the GSOC that never got implemented? Moving it to the Lamps so we can have multiple suns is a great idea. I had to composite two pictures with TG1 for that, and it was harder than I expected. Any chance we'll be able to the save the Sun-Sky settings as group, like a Material or Texture? Yay, finally?!

Could they not come up with a better example? Following the link to the site gives some greater confidence since the other screen shots look better, and they seem to have some possibility of realistic settings. Lots of apps have had pseudo-realistic sky models for some time now (most of them base on the same paper), and they have all looked better. I have implemented one version of it myself in a shader language, and it certainly looked better than that as well. But I hope we can see some better examples soon.

With a detailed knowledge from the OpenSource , and for what i think ,the way it sholud be . Then not only a few but the world by mean everyone , can understand how it works for step up and make it even better and create treir own content . Also by join current projects . Obviously ,all the idea behind that free and opensource is to make it hard to start . So why not start a "Blender Programming lessons" at blender.org Blender Programming Lessons - The The OpenSource Book For Everyone Who Want To Create Blender And They Tools . Yeah …

Thanks Hamed for the sun/sky system, it is about time someone step up and made it! I like what I see, but there is still lots of room for improvement.
