  • Vertex color patch: Charles expresses concerns about slow review. This patch has been in review for over 8 months now. Root of the issue remains essentially the same, which is a lack of time to coordinate this project for Blender. The Blender Institute is still looking for someone for this position.
  • Charles notes that Michael Kowalsky is working on improvements for support of preview surface.
  • Michael Johnson is still struggling with getting debug builds of the USD library, before he can evaluate current status.
  • The team requests adding MaterialX support to Blender USD libraries for 3.6, Bastien will update the relevant task.
