Sprint Planning
Jacques won’t attend Wednesday (15/Apr) meeting.
Goal: Curves and initial volume support in preparation to upcoming projects. Also leaving room to see if there are any pressing bugs reported as part of the Beta.
- Remaining 2.93 tasks
- Sprites Fright features
-
T87421: Attribute Transfer Node initial version
- Further details in design task: T86843
-
T87421: Attribute Transfer Node initial version
- Curves initial support
- Curves to Mesh node
- Curves to Point node
- Point attributes for curves
- Curve “geometry nodes” modifier
- Volume “geometry nodes” modifier
Note, other tasks were left for the module contributors to help, such as spreadsheet navtree.
Design Discussions
Week starting 2021-04-12
Monday
- Can we close D4960: New Voxel Mesher Modifier? (Hans)
- This should be implemented in geometry nodes rather than as a modifier
-
- Hans will close it.
- Basic design sign-off for
-
T87315: Convex Hull Node (Hans)
- Output name -> Geometry. Hans will follow up
-
D10951: A Mesh Smooth node, as designed in T86903.
- Perfect. Hans will follow up
-
T87315: Convex Hull Node (Hans)
-
D10931 Node context pinning (Jacques)
- Breadcrumbs
- Ob > Node
- Ob > Modifier > Node Group > Node Group > Node Group > Node (ellipsis) [full path on tooltip]
- Toggling behaviour and how it changes other editors.
- Breadcrumbs
Tuesday
- Present final Point/Vertex domain proposal (Dalai).
- Accepted.
- Proposal for active modifier visualization change (Hans)
- The poposals are (arguably) an improvement but they are also far from ideal, so it’s hard to get excited about them.
- We talk about it on thursday again.
- 14:30 CEST Wrapping up attribute and texture painting design.
Thursday
- I/O and instancing (Dalai)
- I want to present to the team the currently challenges Andy is facing when exporting Geometry Nodes to USD.
- Not much a design section, but more food for thought.
- Proposal for active modifier visualization change (Hans)
- The extra icon in the header is far from ideal
- A way to highlight the panel under the cursor could be a bit better
Friday
Week starting 2021-04-19
Monday
- Curves use case presentation: Procedural modeling with curves
Tuesday
- Spreadsheet
- Single column lable for vec2, vec3 and color components (centralized).
- This can be for 2.93.
- Try using .x, .y, .z for row filtering.
- 14:30 to 15:30: Use case Meetings for the modes HQ
Wednesday
- Show warning in Attribute Transfer node?
- Might be enough to not show any attributes in the source attribute name dropdown.
- Always showing (and printing) a warning in the default state could be quite annoying.
Thursday
- Present use cases from Tuesday (Dalai).
Friday
- Erindale’s feedback on procedural modeling.
- Validate the row filtering design
- Retrospective
Note: This will be updated throughout the next two weeks with the day to day design discussions.
Next planning meeting: 2021-04-26 at 14:00 CEST on geometry-nodes on blender.chat.
