BMesh is now in the Alpha testing stage. It’s reached the point where it needs user testing to further progress and identify bugs.

More Info
What type of bugs should we be looking for,
and what is expected to work in general as of now?
Wow Bmesh is looking really cool!
Ill try out a build tomorrow
it keeps on crashing when you convert a text to a mesh
yay :)
@Felix,
read the blog post
Hell yeah!!
Aaw, no OSX version yet =( It looks great so far though =)
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.
You should change the title. Bmesh is not just ngon support, as the creator tries so hard to explain.
@EagleWing: oh. pretty cool. :-D
@f9b: how about Vista?
when tied with multires modifier, it will be dream tool, at least for me :-)
can’t wait!
@f9b
you know what “testing build” means, right?

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.
here is link for actual OSX intel version build….

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
The bug report link doesn’t work for me, so posting my bug here:
I used the bevel tool and some dissolving. I can’t export to .obj, when I load this file up in a 2.61, it has no faces, only vertices and edges.
I tried to use just a bevel on an object and it worked fine.
Hi Trevor,
you tried a link in a post that’s almost 3 years old. As BMesh is now a regular part of Blender, you should use the Blender bugtracker for your report. Chances are that nobody will find it here.
