2023-06-06 VFX & Video

Attendees

  • Brecht Van Lommel
  • Habib Gahbiche
  • Omar Emara
  • Richard Antalik
  • Sergey Sharybin

Notes

  • Sergey and Brecht worked on an initial design for multiple render passes support in viewport compositor.
  • Brecht got an initial support of GPU compositor used for non-viewport compositor.
  • Habib worked on the aspect ratio display for the compositor. From quick discussion it seemed fine to have it a viewer setting in the compositor, to match other editors.
  • Habib is also looking into expression node. The meeting agreed to create a feedback thread, to align design decision between compositor, shader, and geometry nodes. On a technical side looking into simple driver expression could give good inspiration.
  • The meeting agreed that Kuwahara filter can go in the main branch. Sergey will do the final pass of review.
  • Omar worked on movie distortion node for the viewport compositor.
  • Omar looked into CPU evaluator for the realtime compositor together with Jacques. The outcome of it is that using multi-functions instead of fields seemes to be the way to go.
  • Richard worked on “Set Speed” for the retiming tool, which allows to manually type in desired speed

Follow-ups:

  • Brecht will work a design for the viewer and file output nodes for the GPU compositor and review it with Omar.
  • Brecht and Sergey will go over the document describing the difference between Tiled, Full-Frame and Realtime compositors, and make an actionable proposal for unifying behavior.

Very excited for a expression node! This would give node setups a lot more control to embed themself into the scene :slight_smile:
