      What type of bugs should we be looking for,
      and what is expected to work in general as of now?

      As first-time Blender 2.50 tester, I am not unimpressed. Absolutely gorgeous.

      @anon: already read it,
      before it was even posted to bn,
      kinda leaves to be desired… :)

      um, what is bmesh? and is the version really stable enough for it to be used without risk? to my computer, i mean.

      thanks

      @MeshWeaver: It allows you to create a face from a polygon with more than four verticies.

      Very unstable. At least on win xp.

    • Thomas

      You should change the title. Bmesh is not just ngon support, as the creator tries so hard to explain.

    • MeshWeaver

      @EagleWing: oh. pretty cool. :-D

      @f9b: how about Vista?

    • b-fighter

      when tied with multires modifier, it will be dream tool, at least for me :-)
      can’t wait!

      @f9b

      For a video explanation of Bmesh, check out the following:

      This was all it took to convince me that this will be a wonderful feature.

      once you go into edit mode, you can’t return to object mode, making this build unusable for moment- still this is a must update for blender- it gets hard to keep polys low when every cut propagates throughout the whole mesh. ALSO- would like to see vertex/edge snap guides when trying to make individual cuts like xsi and max
