Since the Last Meeting / Announcements
- Last meeting Sybren said the drawing backend is going to be replaced soon. As it turns out, it’s not going to be replaced soon, it’s a low-priority task.
- Ongoing work on sketching out the architecture of the animation system.
Landed

606e4b35f234: Copy Global Transform: allow mirroring of pasted transforms
- MohammadHossein: how about the idea of mirroring relative to the 3D cursor?
- Sybren: that’ll need better control over the 3D cursor’s orientation.
- Idea: to make snapping of 3D cursor to a bone respect the bone orientation as well.
- MohammadHossein will check who implemented the orientation of the 3D cursor.
- MohammadHossein is interested in implementing this.
