Meeting 2004/10/10

• . projects
  • . transform → see http://wiki.blender.org/bin/view.pl//TransformRefactoring and give Martin P feedback
    • move target to 2.36 so more time for Martin and testing (so no new functions for now)
    • help needed with conversion functions (metaball to transdata, armature to transdata, etc.)
  • . mesh loop tools → need to be redone for new selection modes. Roel will explain Ton what the current code does.
• . discussion: Python + Internal exposure
  • "theres a big difference in developing c code & apis, and have this available for scripters" → currently ie. editmesh dicussion, editmesh is optimised with specific mem. management. Python shouldn't crash Blender → do actions that are guaranteed to work with UI too.
  • how to bring clarity on this and what BPython can (and is supposed) to do to the people?
    • research if blender python book is feasible (Ton R) and ie. Willian can write.
    • better exposure and explanation on website(s) (Nathan L)
• . bcon level → bcon 3 today with option for UI work, next status check next week. Transform + softbodies are for after release.
