Notes
Cycles
- Brecht plans to mainly focusing on bugfixing in the next two weeks.
- Kévin will commit his faster updates patch, and Brecht will review the Alembic and API encapsulation patches.
- OptiX curve primitive: it will still take a while to enable this, since it we’ll only have the more compatible shape in the next OptiX release which is not out yet. Unlikely to be in 2.93.
- NanoVDB OpenCL is using double precision data types without checking for the extension, which breaks Intel OpenCL. Fix is under review.
- SSS Dwivedi sampling patch was accepted, ready to be committed.
- Point cloud primitive patch has a performance regression on CUDA and OptiX, Brecht will need to investigate and look for a fix before committing.
Eevee
- Vulkan is expected to be the main focus for 2.93 development, not major other plans to mention at this point.
Render Pipeline
- OpenColorIO upgrade to 2.0 is planned for 2.93 to match the VFX reference platform. Jeroen will resume work on this porting likely in a few weeks from now, still plenty of time to finish this.
