Hi all,

Here are the notes from today’s meeting in irc.freenode.net #blendercoders.

1) Upcoming 2.76 release

  • Projects planning.
  • Meeting agrees on moving to BCon4 status – which means bugfix only, no new features. Testbuilds will be made available this and next week. Everyone is invited to visit the bug tracker again!
  • OpenVDB branch was close to ready, but still in development.
    Also due to holidays it’s wiser to move that to another release.
  • Splash for the release: competition proposal will be sent to the maillist tomorrow.

2) Other projects

  • Asset management: Bastien Montagne is cooking up ‘live ID replacing‘ and a method restore lost data.
  • Blender 2.8 “Workflow” project: Ton Roosendaal will propose a roadmap planning this week. This Blender Conference will be an interesting one!
  • Siggraph results report will be published this week.

Thanks,

-Ton-

I have a LONG history with Blender - I wrote some of the earliest Blender tutorials, worked for Not a Number and helped run the crowdfunding campaign that open sourced Blender (the first one on the internet!). I founded BlenderNation in 2006 and have been editing it every single day since then ;-) I also run the Blender Artists forum and I'm Community Lead at n8n.
