[Bf-committers] Blender 2.8 planning notes 2017-08-07

Hi, meeting notes for today's Blender 2.8 planning. = Last Week = * Bastien: Did RC1. https://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Mont29/Foundation/2017#Week_203_-_07.2F29_to_08.2F04 * Campbell: Added manipulators for render-border, compositor-crop & area lamps. Exposed some API issues that took time to resolve. Also tested lamp positioning tool which could use some user testing [1]. http://download.blender.org/ftp/ideasman42/donelist/2017.html#week-333-july-31 * Clément: Refraction was much more a problem than expected. But managed to find a decent approximation for probes. Started Screen space refraction but need to finish it. ETA is 2 days. https://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Hypersomniac/Foundation/2017#Week_34:_31th_-_6th_August * Luca: Worked on a new physics system proposal, and started a proof of concept implementation of physics nodes, to be finished today. https://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Lucarood/Weekly_Reports#Week_37_-_04_Aug_2017 * Sergey: Was away at SIGGRAPH. = This Week = * Bastien: Will merge ID copying into master, then work on assets & workspace. Will also start reviewing students' GSoC. * Campbell: Continue working on [2]. Help in other areas if its needed. Would like to continue working on viewport a bit. * Clément: Finish last week plans: screen space refraction. Then GTAO fix, and some polishing. * Luca: Finish the physics nodes proof of concept implementation and work on other parts of the proposal, such as caching. * Sergey: Catch up with what happened in the past week. and keep working on CoW/modifiers, making sure all production scenes works and make it so tools are aware of the new concepts (mainly adding missing update tags via deg and such).
