Attendees

  • Habib Gahbiche
  • Omar Emara
  • Sergey Sharybin

Notes

  • Habib shared the notes from the Blender conference
  • The meeting discussed various topics of on-going work / PRs.
  • One related topic is the ability to use different compositor nodes for viewport and final renders. Maybe approach like in the nodes (Eevee or Cycles specific Material output nodes) is enough, or do we need a stronger separation?
  • Omar tackled most of the nodes and made them available in the new CPU compositor. Only filter nodes remained.
  • Once those are ported we can look into removing the old CPU compositor, and remove 1000s of lines of code.
  • The BLI interpolation functions lack the “repeat” functionality. Something we’d need to tackle or find volunteers to help.

Practical Info

This is a fortnightly video chat meeting for planning and discussion of VFX & Video in Blender. Any contributor (developer, UI/UX designer, writer, …) working on these areas in Blender is welcome to join and add proposed items to the agenda.

For users and other interested parties, we ask to read the meeting notes instead so that the meeting can remain focused.

Are you looking for volunteers for doing the actual code removal by chance? :stuck_out_tongue:

I had a WIP code somewhere locally a while ago for doing that. So maybe I could do it?

Just sync-up with Omar, so you don’t do duplicate work.

Sounds like it :slight_smile:
