Meeting Notes

Show all commits
  • Discussions
    • Should Ctrl+A on a modifier apply to the active keyframe or all keyframes?
      • Most people feel like it should apply to all keyframes like in GPv2.
      • Falk will look into changing the shortcut.
  • Samuel: Multi-frame now shows frames for other objects as well, not ideal.
    • Falk: Thinks this is a bug, should just show the selected keyframes of the active object.
  • Antonio: Would be good to have a way to switch to different object into the same mode.
    • Falk: Mesh sculpt mode has this too and it’s very useful.
  • Samuel: Is working on porting the Grease Pencil addons
    • There is an option to download brushes and append them to the file.
    • Brushes have to be marked as assets now. Needs to be explained in the manual and liked to from the release notes.
    • Should now use brush assets. Maybe better as a separate download. Users can put the .blend file in their asset library.
  • Amélie: Was wondering on any updates regarding textured brushes.
    • Falk: Will have to talk Clément about possible Grease Pencil rendering project. Maybe this is also tied to the ongoing NPR project?
  • Antonio: Was wondering about what ideas are for the 4.4 release.
    • Falk: Has many ideas. Probably highest on the list is a change to the materials. Moving the fill/stroke toggle out of the material and onto the geometry. This would be the first step towards hole support for fills, boolean eraser, fill brush, etc. There are other topics like adding the option to create other curve types from the draw tool or adding a pen tool for creating polylines and curves.
