Since the Last Meeting
- Performance improvements
- UV is now a generic attribute
General Discussion
- Lukas Tonne joins the team in Amsterdam starting in March.
- 3.5 Targets
- Simulation Nodes won’t be ready in time for Blender 3.5.
- The focus now switched to the other 3.5 targets such as curves and hair.
- New task for the development of nodes for procedural hair.
- Grease Pencil
- Falk shares the current state of the design of Grease Pencil 3.0
- It will split Annotation and Grease Pencil objects.
- In the future it could use Geometry object to implement frames.
Patch Review & Decision Time
- The new surface-like volume will follow other DCCs’ name: Volume SDF.
- Geometry Notes / Curve to Mesh: Miter joints / constant thickness D16829
- Patch has some build problems at the moment.
- Avoid the term “Use” for checkboxes
- “Miter Joins” is a bit convoluted term. Although they are welcome in the toolip and/or the user manual we could use a simpler term.
- Suggestion 1: “Preserve Thickness”
- Suggestion 2: “Constant Thickness”
Follow Up
- Check on the high priority bugs - (there are 4 open at the moment)
