Since the Last Meeting
- Improved caching for volume grids that are read from disk.
- Default group node width.
- Regression tests.
- Almost ready:
- Devtalk thread for slide nodes operator.
Meeting Topics
- Warning propagation
- Sometimes it isn’t helpful for warnings to propagate to a higher level.
- Proposed solution is to have an option on each node that decides whether to propagate its warnings to a higher level.
- Node tools soft selection and sculpt mask support
- No strong opinions. Makes sense to pick a behavior now, and it can be changed later if necessary.
- The input value should be clamped so the user doesn’t have to do that.
- Principal Components node for 3D vectors
- Tolga uses this for surfacing point clouds.
- This is related to the statistics node, which should probably be a field node. So this node should be a field node.
- Theoretically this could be implemented as a group node. Various accumulate operations would be used, and a new matrix operation would be required.
- Q4, Q1 planning
