Since the Last Meeting

- A few new nodes for 3.4
- Hans committed a couple tweaks to mesh/curve topology nodes c3b6e372542f, 248def7e4806
- Point cloud objects can have modifiers applied b3e6a2888a2d
General Discussion
- Some discussion about Erindale’s list of nodes/features
- We were missing a few people and didn’t get to this.
-
T101889: Curves editmode: edit points are drawn from the fully evaluated curves
- Only draw points that can be selected and edited like in mesh edit mode.
- It would be great if the crazyspace editing could work with the transform tools, but we weren’t sure how that works.
Patch Review & Decision Time
-
Node Editor: Controlled node link swapping
- Making this more explicit would be good, generally seems like an improvement.
- The downside is taking away one of the available modifier keys.
- Artist input would be helpful.
- This patch uses the same modifier key: Nodes: Allow skipping node attachment after dragging
-
Node Editor: Icon number indicator for data-blocks
- Will help with node group assets.
- Show the node group ID template in the “Group” tab of the sidebar in a no-header panel.
- Should we get rid of the ID template in node groups completely?
- We do this already for node groups that come as assets.
- Maybe. You always want to rename a node group after creating it, and we might not want to force everyone to the sidebar. So maybe there could be a popup for choosing the name.
- Selection output for the subdivide node(s)
- With a selection of “old edges” it would be possible to retrieve everything else.
Follow Up
- Hans can make a design task for the subdivide node selection output.
