Present:
- Howard Trickey
- Campbell Barton
- Iliya Katushenock
- Nika Kutsniashvili
- Daniel Bystedt
Agenda:
- Current Projects - Status
- Howard : thought about next steps on faster boolean, but no real coding
- Campbell: nothing to report
- SLIM
- Campell and Howard have compiled it, tested it, and looked a little at the code
- Campbell sees a bunch of things that could use polishing in terms of code
- While testing with Suzanne, found that it changed shapes while working - need to define what is and isn’t a bug. Live unwrap seems a little different from other unwrap?
- Howard and Campbell should continue to make code style change requests
- Quad Remesher (quadwild)
- The organic features optional solver needs gorobi, a commercial solver. This won’t work for Blender
- It is possible that a big project to rewrite using ceres (which Blender already has) could work, but that’s a bigger project
- Campbell says: look at quadwild with bimdf : avoids gorobi solver. GitHub - cgg-bern/quadwild-bimdf: QuadWild extended with BiMDF solver
- Daniel topic:
- we have geometry nodes and ability to combine things to make nodes
- would be great, while in that mode, be able to draw curves for hair, etc.
- in workshop for node tools, there was on the whiteboard this use case: using curve drawing. But model tools need to be executed for that.
- Nika: wonders how/if nodetools can be used for brushes
- Daniel demonstrates drawing in 3d view to control hair; would like this while e.g. extruding while a node is active
- key point: need to get curve that is drawn from start of mouse push to release
- Nika topic:
- extra objects / presets / extensions. There’s a PR for extra mesh objects that should be looked at
- Campbell: expects to be able to work on some modeling tools as extension stuff winds down
- Next meetings: should keep meeting link content. Next meeting will be 3 weeks out at today’s time, because of Howard vacation in 2 weeks
