The goal of these tasks is to make core Blender data structures more extensible and object-oriented. See the [[ https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/Source/Architecture/Extensibility | proposal in the developer wiki ]] for details. ####Datablocks Extend `IDTypeInfo` usage and functionality to abstract ID handling in more areas. [X] `lib_query.c` for relations to other datablocks (T74960) [ ] Find other cases where hardcoded ID type tests are spread throughout the code ####.blend I/O Decentralize .blend file I/O code, with a well documented API (T76372). [ ] API for .blend file read/write direct linking (D7061) [ ] Move most direct linking code out of `readfile.c` [ ] Datablocks [ ] Modifiers (D7062) [ ] Nodes [ ] Animation Data (D7321) [ ] Other [ ] Move most lib linking and expand out of `readfile.c` (automate using lib query?) ####RNA [ ] Add mechanism to register RNA at runtime [ ] Use it for important case including: [ ] Nodes [ ] Modifiers [ ] Use for all data structures (long term) #####DNA We still need to work out design for how to register DNA at runtime, this is more a long term goal. ####UI [X] Modifiers, shader effects move from Python to callback on modifier typeinfo (`modifier-panels-ui` branch) [ ] Nodes UI move from `drawnode.c` to callback on node typeinfo ####Dependency Graph We still need to work out design for how to decentralize depsgraph building, this is more a long term goal.
