Current Projects

zaghaghi has finished his sky patch, and the doc is avilable here

looks like tile patch might be pushed back a release since it doesn't Antialias, and there are some other things that ton would like changed

lukep is ready to merge spaceball work to head

2.46

• ideasman stated there are some features that need to be readded back to uv editing still.

• as noted above lukep will commit his work to head

• as noted above tile looks like it might not make this release after all

• It was recommended we should change the default object orientation back to its previous setting to maintain backwards compatibility with docs, and change the default for 2.50 instead. The general view was that most users are going to use learning existing 2.4x related documentation all of which depend on the previous behaviour. Matt please give your input.

• UPDATE - Matt stated that due to other significant interface changes (highly different particle interaction, different UV interaction, among others) that the tutorials would already be broken, and hence the change was relatively minor in the scheme of things. I (LetterRip) personally find this argument persuasive and agree that it should be left 'as is' with the new default.

hcube will update his sound work for head by end of week - and it will be determined if it should/could be merged for 2.46

joeedh will look into getting DSM ready for merge with head, though he still is unhappy with its performance

ffmpeg is having some build issues - if ther are devs familiar with ffmpeg on windows assitance would be appreciated.

GSoC

Chris Want has our application for GSoC participation ready, anyone current Dev who would like to mentor please contact him (or email list mentioning you would like to mentor).

We are updating the ideas list - any student currently involved in 3D reasearch - one of the most successful areas has been porting of ones current research or ideas to Blender (ie fluids and sculpt). So you are strongly encouraged to apply if you are such a student :)
