Hi all,

Short meeting this time, here’s some highlights:

1) Blender 2.5x project

  • Janne has significant improvements for fluid particle control, mostly on UI side to make it more accessible and stable. It might break some older settings, so he’ll send a proposal to the maillist with changes this week.
  • Patch for changes in the Material properties have been approved; a new “pipeline” panel gets added to better indicate properties that are global for an entire node-tree setup.
  • Sergey will finish deformed sculpting this week, some brush types need work still.
  • Janne will fix Texture properties “Pin” option – to browse textures outside ‘active’ context.
  • Lukas Toenne’s patch for improved node grouping new really has to be reviewed by Ton!
  • Campbell will write a good doc/specification for addon registery
  • Within a month we should also present and approve a plan for Python events and notifiers, also keeping in mind requirements for custom space types (editors).

2) Other projects, branches

  • Jeroen Bakker will start development on new compositing system this week. For the time being he prefers to use git, on his own website here.

Thanks,

-Ton-
