Attendees:
- Andy Goralczyk
- Omar Emara
- Habib Gahbiche
Roadmap
- Options as sockets: Started working on exposing options as sockets. Will get priority to try to get it done for 4.5 (Omar)
- These will be breaking changes, so we will take the opportunity to make other breaking changes (e.g. remove the “Gamma” input from the blur node and remove the “Alpha” and “use alpha” inputs from the Composite and Viewer nodes).
- Reusable node trees: working on versioning. Might need to delay the feature to 5.0 to ensure forward compatibility (Habib)
Notes:
Proposals:
-
- Decision: Exposing conversion factors are not valuable but exposing different ways of converting from RGB to BW can be useful (e.g. choose from luminance, average etc…).
-
Remove alpha option from composite and viewer nodes:
- Agreed. Will be removed in 4.5
UI Updates:
- Box and Ellipse gizmos are merged
- Prototype hide nodes while pressing down a button (or a shortcut).
- Not ideal for Andy, would still like to explore the idea of only hiding the node tree while dragging a slider or a value.
- Glare node: Suggestion to rename “Suppress” to “Clamp” or “Clamp Highlights”
- No agreement in the meeting. Will follow up with a post on devtalk
- Snapping: support snapping for vertical resizing is merged
- Image info node: resolution doesn’t consider transformation. A few ideas were discussed. Will follow up with a post on devtalk.
Practical Info
This is a fortnightly video chat meeting for planning and discussion of Compositing in Blender. Any contributor (developer, UI/UX designer, writer, …) working on this area 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.
