Future Blender Development Ideas

Large Projects

• Bevel boolean vertex mesh method
• Get the cutoff method and miter options working at the same time
• Profile widget object import/sharing mode
• Better edge / vertex attribute editing from ctrl+e/v/f menus
• Node tooltips
• See if inset offset even needs fixing. I may have encountered a bug there.
• If nodes are very wide, draw inputs and outputs on the same line
• Update bevel todo list
• Expand some text fields when UI becomes wider
• Icon-style overlays addon
• Fix hardcoded string modal maps in status bar

Medium Ideas

• Add edge pan operator to node editor
• Add the ability to call the modifier panels template with just one modifier
• Use custom_data instead of index for instanced panels. (Use RNA collection for the list)
• CurveMapping template UI updates
• Press shift during orbiting to pan
• Ctrl middle mouse to zoom in file browser
• Topology preserving bevels (https://blender.community/c/rightclickselect/n3fbbc/)
• Too much extra space in some keymap settings
• Align nodes and their inputs to the grid better
• Automatically expand / unexpand enums based on the available width
• RNA 64 bit int support
• Animation for subpanels
• Fix tooltips don't show during animation playback

Small Ideas

• Quick way to reset the rotation of the 3D cursor
• Bevel weight and others are under the "Transform" panel of the N-panel
• Switch color and label in annotation settings popover preview
• Cursor position history
• Slider uiItemR places text misaligned with other properties
• Don't draw icons when their buttons' width gets smaller than the icon itself
• Add Bevel modifier warning for unapplied object scale
• Modifiers set auto smooth with operator
• "+00" suffix for seconds display in timeline overlaps other text
• Boxes around context buttons
• Expose panel custom data to python
• Expose panel custom data under mouse to python
• File browser display size accessible in header does not work
• Simple deform modifier angle / factor properties share the same dna float
• Don't show "Keyframe" in driver editor subpanel for editing active bezier point
• Consistent use of "layout" and "draw" in interface code and area.c
• Move more runtime fields in structs to runtime structs
• Property split layout in image editor panels

Finished

• Add profile widget custom curve to the "beveling" of curves
• Rename "View Camera Center" to "Frame Camera Bounds"
• "Duplicate" instead of "Copy" modifier button.
• Assign, Select, and Deselect buttons in shader editor
• Construct vs Add in add menu tooltips
• Bevel: Optimize number of times calculate_profile is called for each boundvert
• Bevel active tool UI properties
• Pass over modifier UI
• Better warning message than "You are using a rather high poly as source or destination, computation might be slow"
• Remove unused code in interface_panel.c (overlapping code, UI_PNL_SOLID)
• Skip mouse move and mousemove consecutive events in panel handling code
