Next Week

Prepare for code quest trip and sorted checking workbench design draft by Jeroen Bakker, and add to the task Campbell Barton is putting together of tasks for the code quest.

Week 10 (March 19th - 25th)

Info

Finished and published, working with Pablo Vazquez, the Blender 2.8 highlights post based on Ton Roosendaal constructive feedback for the original document (it was a solid document, but to be kept internal and to use to help the code quest planning - while a highlight 2.8 post was still required).

Talked with William Reynish about the 2.8 current design document, and the areas that can benefit from an interaction designer. He posted his document but it was neglecting some topics considered (for now anyways) pillars of the 2.8 design (one window one context, one render engine, non-render engines as render engines).

Helped Antonio Vazquez to investigate and nail down why Grease Pencil was broken for copy on write. This as well as the discussions on static overrides T53800 were only possible thanks to Sergey Sharybin stepping in as well.

Started Move to Collection T53495, but I need help to make the required recursive nested menus.

Blender 2.8 Commits
  • Link and expand overrides for collections 89aa4b16040.
Greasepencil Commits
Published Documents
Next Week

This will be my last full week before I flight to the code quest. So aside from coordinating our work with the other developers, I hope to finish more coding (move to collection, eventual bug fix, ...) to free my agenda for the big event.

Week 9 (March 12th - 16th)

Info

Sorted bug fixes for greasepencil and 2.8. Some EEVEE testing. Finished the pre-code quest document, although I still need to go over it with Pablo Vazquez for the illustrations and final changes. Wrote a document based on talk with Campbell Barton about suggestions to improve our bug report process and eventually open the bug tracker for 2.8. I also reviewed the cowherd document from Sergey Sharybin, but this is not public yet.

Greasepencil Commits
  • Fix bug: Appended brush comes with empty palette 82ab5668d066.
Blender 2.8 Commits
Publications drafts
Next Week

Finish the pre code quest document. Sorted coding: I'm mid way into fixing texture panels and EEVEE - T54040) - and I wouldn't mind doing Move to Collection or another of the pending features for collections.

Week 8 (February 26th - 2nd)

Info

Finished the changes in the render pipeline to get the render depsgraph when you do F12/animation render (Cycles and EEVEE). Which means we now have EEVEE working for rendering, compositing and even sequencer (though sequencer preview still need a fix). Also published a post on EEVEE F.A.Q. to address common questions found online. And in the end started preparing the upcoming publication. This will be a progress report on 2.8 we will use to inform the public and as a kick off for the code quest. For that already talked with Bastien Montagne, Campbell Barton and Sergey Sharybin about the state of their respective projects. We still need to make an article out of this though.

Publications
Next Week

Taking a week off (vacation). Once I'm back the first priority will be to write the Blender 2.8 Progress Report with Pablo Vazquez.

Week 7 (February 19th - 23th)

Info

Aside from small fixes I started a draft to the Cycles/Eevee blog post. Also I have been working in compositor support for Draw Manager (Eevee) - see pending patch. Basically we need a different depsgraph for rendering than what we have in the viewports. And the current logic of rendering needs to change (instead of handling all layers inside the engines (Cycles even) we need to handle one layer at a time.

  • Fix collection object mode panels 30d01945854.
  • Outliner: Update buttons editor when renaming collection 065630e717c.

Pending Patch
Next Week

Finish the patch, and the article so we can praise all of Eevee rendering/compositing capabilities.

Week 6 (February 5th - 9th)

Info

Sorted fixes, testing Eevee rendering and workspace mode. Reported a few bug reports, ... New "add object to collection" operator, as suggested by Pablo Vazquez (which turned out to be tricky). As well as removing objects from selection.

Blender 2.8 Commits
  • Fix duplicator visibility logic e75c04898f4.
  • Fix crash when no active object 5633bab2d03.

  • Eevee: Film filter default to 1.5 instead of 1.0 5216eaec1df.
Next Week

Taking a week long holiday. The week I'm back I would like to tackle the Cycles/Eevee shader integration post + Eevee standalone/compositing capatibilies article [If Clément doesn't handle it before that by himself]. Followed by catch-up and more pipeline polishing.

Week 5 (January 29th - 2nd)

Info

I did more work in the collection pipeline. I receive some feedback from Daniel Bystedt and thanks to it implemented "select collection objects" (trivial), and the tricky collection (duplicate) which copies all the view layer settings (overrides, visibility, ...) for any instance of the collection being copied into their new corresponding layer collection.

Fix a few bugs related to the F12 system implemented by Clément Foucault, as well as helped testing it. Went over the compositor, and fixed a bug as well as nailed down another one T53950 leaving the compositor in a working state for Clément to work on the integration with Eevee.

I also went the workspace features with Campbell discussing an eventual per-workspace addon, but in the end agreeing that a killer feature for workspace is more welcome, which will for now be the workspace mode.

  • Fix draw manager F12 evaluation mode 217bc17a3cd.
Next Week

In the end of the week I stumbled upon a limitation of the current duplicator design in 2.8: T53985. I would like to address that as well as some other duplication issues (T53269, T53573) within my possibilities. Aside from that I would like to work a bit more in the suggestions by Daniel as well as the pending ones by Pablo Vazquez. (And move to collection, ...).

Week 4 (January 22nd - 26th)

Info

Fixed collada importer, assisted the greasepencil icons merge in 2.8, implemented tooltips for the outliner drag'n'drop operators, outliner add object functionality, sorted fixes and more polishing in the outliner.

Early stage video of the tooltip functionality. This shows an abandoned feature of keeping the tooltips inside the outliner (I managed to make them draw in the window level after that):

Week 2 (January 8th - 12th)

Info

Most of the work this week was focused on the Outliner filter patch. Aside from sorted fixes in the outliner. You can see the preview of this patch in the following videos. Note: team didn't talk about planning for 2018 at all.
