Present:

  • Howard Trickey
  • Sean Kim
  • Jonathan Lampel
  • Nika Kutsniashvili

Agenda:

  • SLIM PR
    • Howard has done review. Would like Campbell to take a quick look.
  • Bevel edge group PR
    • Howard will do final review soon
  • Request for circle tool from Loop tools to be builtin Blender tool
    • General agreement that if any modeling tools should move from addon to Blender C++, this is prime candidate
    • Nika looked at the code - thousands of lines for each subtool. The circle tool handles numerous edge cases, such as what happens when there is a mirror modifier. So not a quick-and-easy job to make this a C++ tool
    • Nika also noted: the Mesh > Transform > To Sphere already built into Blender kind of does a “circularize” operation if all of the selected vertices are on the same plane, so there is already a start to what “circularize” would do – it’s the edge cases that would need to be worked on.
  • Request to look at report “Moving/grabbing depends on the pivot point when it should not”
