Hi everyone, 1) Blender 2.63a - Meeting agreed on doing an "a" release with some bug fixes. Campbell and Brecht made a list of fixes that should be included, further discussion will be done on the mailing list. http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Ref/Release_Notes/2.63/Bug_Fixes#Fixes_since_2.63_.28for_bugfix_release.29
- Release of 2.63a will be middle of this week (Wednesday?) 2) Current projects - Keir is working on some tracker improvements in libmv: -- Integration of Ceres: http://procrastineering.blogspot.de/2012/05/today-sameer-agarwal-and-keir-mierle-as.html -- Planar tracker - Campbell mentions customdata layers are wrapped now (MTexPoly was missing from release) (Python API) - Brecht is working on OpenImageIO image cache usage to load more image text ures than fit in memory (cpu only). He is also working on a light falloff node: that is a control for light falloff like blender internal has, constant/linear/quadratic, and an option to soften light near the light source. - Pablo Vazquez will prepare a nice list with some new defaults for Blender, based on community feedback. -Jeroen Bakker reports the current status of the tile branch: http://lists.blender.org/pipermail/bf-committers/2012-May/036647.html Will probably be merged to trunk within the next 1-2 weeks. 3) Google Summer of Code - All students should have been in contact with their mentors. - Students should start a thread on blenderartists.org to collect feedback and introduce themselves to the community. :) Best regards, Thomas -- Thomas Dinges Blender Developer, Artist and Musician www.dingto.org _______________________________________________ Bf-committers mailing list Bf-committers@blender.org http://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers
