Real-Time Proposals from Blend4Web

Introduction

Blend4Web is an open source Blender-based 3D web framework. This page contains feature proposals from the Blend4Web team. Our goal is to extend Blender with features which can be very useful for real-time rendering. No Blend4Web-specific functionality is proposed here. Info about Blend4Web add-on development is provided on the separate page.

Proposals

Patches under Review

D1855 bpy.data custom properties support

D1827 Fix consistency between Viewport and BI for Vector and RGB curves nodes

D810 Support for Environment Lighting settings in the viewport. This would allow our users to see the same lighting in Blender that is seen in Blend4Web. For some reason, these settings currently only work in the Blender render.

D1542 "Do not tint cycled nodes" option for node trees.

D923 Support of some Cycles' Geometry node functionality in the Blender Internal. Currently, the Geometry node lacks such important outputs as Incoming, Normal (in the world space), Tangent and others.

D846 Smooth Step node implementation would allow smooth transitions of values and colors. Currently, there is a B4W_SMOOTHSTEP node group in Blend4Web which consists of 9 math nodes. The Smooth Step node corresponds to the built-in GLSL function and would allow users to create faster shaders.

Blender Builds (Outdated)

These Blender builds include our patches:

ToDo

Blender Internal: Porting nodes from Cycles renderer
Viewport: more features
UI and Python API: improvements for custom renderers

Implemented Features, Bug Fixes, Participation

D1120 Support of Cycles' Normal Map node in Blender Internal. As you can guess from its name, this node would give the possibility to use normal maps in the viewport, including tangent, object and world spaces.
D1880 Wide lines + line stipple deprecated API replacement
D1786 Mirror influence of environment texture in Blender viewport
T47492 F-Curves. Restoring animation of linked bone after renaming in source file. Possible fix is attached
D1414 World textures displaying for viewport in BI
D909 Support of Cycles' Vector Transform node in the Blender Internal
D1729 BI "Real Sky" option works incorrectly for environment texture
D1688 - Stipple support to basic GLSL shader
D1313 - Particle Info node support for GLSL mode and the internal render
T46333 - Particle Info Node (for BI) is not working.
D1282 - Getting default value from hidden material socket after material switch with Python.
D1188 - Support for native render capabilities in custom render engines through Python API.
D843 - Incorrectly named inputs of the Material and Extended Material nodes
D1045 - Outliner crash
D1015 - Crash when deleting NlaTrack
D1283 - Bugfix. Reroute node type transition
D899 - Gamma node support for Blender Internal
D842 - Fixing drawing in Viewport Math-Absolute node results
D781 - Implementation of specular transparency property in GLSL render

T46305 - The viewport artifacts associated with the use of normal maps
T44718 - Cycles GLSL shading not working for NURBS with node shader
T44755 - Difference between GLSL and BI render when Value node is connected to the Output node.
T44461 - Crash and file corruption after calc_normals_split, calc_tessface execution.
T44191 - Custom Loop Normals Viewport shading not updating
