Change Details

This is a rough proposed outline of tasks to work on for the code quest (based on discussion between @campbellbarton & @sergey). * Interface ** COW display evaluated data, edit original. * Depsgraph ** Building depsgraph from an arbitrary ID block. *** This can be used for efficient calculation of motion paths. *** Viewport motionblur *** Sequencer prefetch rendering frames (in threads). ** Best get input from Sergey. ** Performance (investigate) ** COW * Modifiers ** Remove derived-mesh * Layers ** UI (design) ** Check Performance For larger scenes current layer system likely has poor performance given the way linked lists are used. It would be good to measure what the difference w/ 2.7x is, if this is something to address, set as TODO or if we can leave as-is. ** Moving between layers ** Best get input from Dalai More work is needed to finish this off, not sure how much. ** How do set-scenes work w/ layer visibility? * Asset Manager? Make it part of code-quest??? ** Needs discussion w/ Bastien (just focus on this until it's done?). Suggest to finalize design w/ UI guys, can fix technical issues later. * Drawing Code Basics ** Workbench Engine ** Add back some missing options? - xray, wireframe. ** OpenGL selection has remaining bugs Maybe small, need investigaion. ** Sculpting Bugs ** Performance (investigate) ** Clipped output (alt-b) * Drawing API's ** Resolved fixed buffer size for immediate mode. ** GPU - cleanup naming, remove deprecaed API's. ** Move to GPU (use BLI_threads) Use blender's code style. ** Wayland (ok after code-quest!) * Overrides ** UI Design ** See: Bastien, Dalai for UI, more development, testing. Depends on COW. ** Access from Python (for later). * Workspace ** Topbar design (keep redo panel where it is) ** Fix crashes in scene linking. ** Finalize object mode design & stabilize. ** Finalize bare minimum for release, possible extras. * Operators ** Port to COW ** Undo system restructure and make linear (optional) ** Multi-object edit-mode (optional) * Tools ** 101 Project, design is needed. * Manipulators ** UI Design Reevaluate existing design. check if any changes are needed. ** More work to do, polish, usability, continued development. ** Confirm current API design is OK to go ahead with. We could re-evaluate a handful of minor things. ** Use to replace notifiers over the rest of Blender. * Python API ** COW support At least exporters should export evaluated data> ** Various minor changes T47811 (best handle after the code-quest). ** Update all add-ons (again, after code-quest) * Versioning ** Tests loading complex production files. Ensure basics are supported & no crashes. ** Check if we can make 2.8 files load in 2.7x On basic level, all layers visible. * Refactor ** Split some files to help w/ merge conflicts Check files over ~3000 LOC, also use common sense! ** CMake: remove BLENDER_SORTED_LIBS P522 * Sequencer ** Scene strips w/ COW, layers.. drawing engines? ** Make breaking changes *** Transform especially has very strange behavior *** Remove grading in linear space option. ** FUN: Camera navigation in sequencer (optional). (pixel based options making output at different sizes confusing) while we dont have time for a large project, we could improve things we know are bad-by-design. ** Prefetch frames (optional, nice to have, fits nice w/ COW) * Physics & Particles ** Bring back 2.7x level of support Make the modules a blackbox, keep existing files working-ish. * Remove deprecaed features ** Blender Internal! ** Texture Nodes (redo or remove - currently) ** Armature Sketch ** BGE Player ** Mesh Legacy Format (pre BMesh). ** Remove tessface *** Cycles: use looptri (detect quads if needed). *** Remove from RNA: Python IO needs updating *** Particles: We need operator to re-distribute to tris (can't do in readfile). *** BVH utils uses still. ** Remove non-triple buffer drawing. ** Screen Capture ** Frame Server ** AVI-RAW/JPEG ** Remove Current BGE Implementation in 2.8 Replace with interaction mode at later date. ### After Code-Quest Topics * Nodes ** Move cycles away from hard-coded C definitions.
