[Jeroen-Bakker]

Attendees

• Ramil
• Joseph

Agenda

Needs Commit

• D14975 Voxel Remesh Size Edit - Constant Size by default
  • Joe has committed it.

High Prio Bugs

We should prioritise fixing recent regressions:

• T98975 Regression: Dirty Vertex Color, Invert, Levels, HSV, Brightness-Contrast ignores destination Color Attribute selection (also crash)
  • Hans provided a fix
• T98673 Regression: Crash when adding color attribute in edit mode
  • Can we support adding color attributes in Edit Mode?
  • Should still be investigated.
• T98842 Regression: Switching shading color type crashes blender (using the sculpting template)
  • Not able to reproduce, but perhaps only in debug mode.
• T98836 Regression: Applying a stroke after enabling Dyntopo crashes Blender
  • Hard to reproduce, will try with ASAN.
• T98886 Regression: Smooth shading issues with multiresolution
  • Should still be investigated.
• T98889 Regression: Sculpting on a linked copy of an objects crashes Blender
  • Hard to reproduce, will try with ASAN.
• T98884 Regression: Crash when switched to vertex paint mode

Solved issues that needs to be backported to 3.2 should be added to T98661

In Review

• D14900 PBVH Texture Paint Node Splitting
  • Updates have been done and needs a next round of reviews.
• D15025 Expose Face Sets In Python API
  • Still needs feedback adjustments

    • Still a lot of cases are missing.
    • Current bottleneck is the UV Islands extraction.
• D15122 Cavity Automasking Mode
  • Ready for next round of review.
  • Jeroen will review it on code-wise.
• D15137 Try to introduce a slider widget for sculpt mesh filter
  • Initial version available. Review has been started and lot of comments. If Ramil needs some help just poke Joseph or Jeroen.
• D14974 Tip roundness - match square and round brush radius
  • Joe wanted to help out fixing artefacts so it can be approved.
  • Might have been solved in sculpt-dev branch.
  • Joseph will look at it.

Next To Do’s

• Jeroen
  • Occupied with Viewport/Eevee tasks. Will perform the codereviews as mentioned.
• Joe
  • High priority bugs
  • Port over the normal automasking modes from sculpt-dev.

New Tasks

• T98676 Paint Mode: Brush Radius VS Brush Size
  • Will wait for Julian and other artists for a better discussion.

Other Topics

• Brecht commented on D13897
  • “Can you create a task on the workboard for implementing general attributes in PBVH drawing?”
  • Task has been created T98893
  • Still needs to be discussed with Clement. Also planning wise.
  • Perhaps we should do a meeting with the Viewport/Eevee module to known who will be doing what.

Practical Info
