Since the Last Meeting
- Nothing new feature wise.
- Finished winter of quality (closed >150 reports in the last two months).
Meeting Topics
- Planning for the next weeks
- Jacques:
- This week + beginning of next: apply instances operator or a fix to the gltf exporter.
- Merge closures and bundles as an experimental feature.
- Continue to work on Asset Embedding with Bastien.
- Lukas:
- Hair solver prototype with focus on providing the right end user experience.
- At the cost of modularity if necessary for the time being.
- Use bundles to input behavior once available.
- Hair solver prototype with focus on providing the right end user experience.
- Hans:
- Jacques:
- Hair simulation disscussion
- This remains the main priority for the next weeks/months and 4.5.
- Simon to share an example file based on the Einar character.
- Different vector types (came up in compositor).
- Motion pass (two 2D vectors), regular 3D position, 2D vectors.
- Conclusion from multiple discussions in the past is that we probably don’t add new socket types (colors) for different vector dimensions.
- We need 2D vectors for UV data in geometry nodes as well.
- Idea is to add a new “dimensions” property to vector sockets.
- This would be exposed in UI tooltips.
- Default values would show the proper number of dimensions as well.
- For motion pass data, ideally bundle would be used for the combination of two 2D vectors
- Improve node group add-menu by showing already used groups separately.
- An interesting idea, warranted some discussion. But maybe it’s not intuitive enough what the bar is for. It’s not clear that which groups you’re already using in the context node group isn’t actually that important.
- Conclusion is to drop this for now.
- Custom Mesh Normals
- There was some discussion about how the custom normals should be cleared in the “Sharpness” mode. It can still be useful to set the sharpness
- Resample Curve node collapses curves to a single point
- Simon agrees that it makes sense to keep at least one curve segment in the length mode instead of collapsing to a single point.
