BIG BLENDER PROJECTS 2020 Blender Today Live #88

Hello, Pablo! At one of the Blender today episodes, there was a question about synchronizing viewports between workspaces. And you answered that the problem is that it is impossible to determine which viewport corresponds to another in different workspaces. So, I propose a solution to this problem: marking the corresponding areas with the same slot (tag). And I even made a working prototype of this model ( developer.blender.org/D6400 ), have you seen it?

Hello, Pablo, happy Chinese New Year! I have two questions.

1. About the official website, I suggest adding a drop down menu for the Download buttom, in which "Experimental", "Stable Version", "Previous Versions", "Demo Files", etc are located. It would be so much easier to navigate.
2. When will the Color Ramp node add more input slots? This is such an important node and yet it does not have the inputs for the color slides, it's such a pity.

Hello Pablo. What's the faith of the feature requests on right click select? do they get Devs attention sometimes and is there a review a process for them to get added at one point.

Hi, When will you guys replace the fake user system with a better one? Man I lost tons of Actions because i forgot to tag them and got so mad that I uninstalled Blender at that moment. I can't imagine if this happens to someone on a bigger project.

I have 3 questions, when will we be getting viewport denoising? I remember awhile back you announced that gpus can overflow into the host ram is this both cuda and open cl or just cuda? And are any of the main developers interested in turning cycles into a spectral renderer? blenderartists.org/t/cycles-spectral-rendering/691868

Way does your donation use dollars ($) and you store use Euro (€)?

Hi Pablo! It's super nice to have blender today back!

I've been seeing posts about a new hair object type. Maybe it's too early to ask but how would that work? Hair needs geometry to grow on and a hair object has no geometry.

I am wondering why the view transform “Film” and the different film stock presets (Kodak, Fujifilm, etc...) under Look got removed in 2.8 and if there is a plan to bring them back. It was quite a nice and quick way to try different looks for a render.

How do you enable the haitr geometry for collision?

Hi Pablo! How are you?

You know what? I'm a bad guy! Once Blender 2.80 was in beta, you warned everyone not to use it in production. I didn't listen! (demonic laughter) I use Blender Alphas and Betas in production ever since! (even more crucial wicked laugh!!!) "Not because it's easy, but because it's hard." Anyway.

Question: When I export .obj file it stores internally as just a "default" mesh. I work in Unity and having a bunch of "default" meshes is not convenient at all. But! If enable "Material Groups" export option, I get a very long mesh name like "%Object name% + %Mesh name% + %Material name%"

Could we have some flexible options in naming meshes on export?

Thanks a lot! Blender rocks! {attachment tmpjpg}

I know I'm hogging at this point I'll get off the stage now, but can Icons for specials menu be a thing? like we can assign any icon beside an option frm blenders built in library

Hi Pablo and weird inflated man!

What can you tell about:

1. Release version for Adaptive sampling?
2. A lot of confirmed bugs during Tracker Curfew. What next steps after Curfew end?
3. Invite new people to Blender Today?

hi Pablo! How are you? I have a couple of questions: -Do you know if Pablo Dobarro will rewrite the dyntopo sculpt for better performance? -In one of your directs you said that there is a new hotkey which lets you simplify the switch of tools with it hotkeys (without having to press shift + space every time). Which hotkey was that?

Hey Pablo Just wanna ask about displacement and vector displacement baking in the future

Hi Pablo. Is Animation 2020 on the list of the big projects? if not, what is it's faith?

Hey! Since blender 2.8, we have seen a overhaul of making blender easier to use in the 3D section, as well as the intro of 2D. Will we see something similar happening in the video editing section in the future?

Thank you for your live show again! Question: Are there any plans to support text objects better? Like the ability to drive/animate their contents?

Hi Pablo, how can I participate in the animation 2020 project with my Momotron Animation Studios? (which will be much better than Pixar Animation Studios by the way)

Way do Blender 2.8x only have to themes? 2.7x did have like 25 themes. Will Blender get more themes in the future?

Will the tabs In Blender get any icons?

Hello Pablo, first thanks for the roadmap its always great to see where blender is heading but don't promise too much ;D.

I know its not priority but will Sergey Sharybin have some time to work on the VFX Features he mentioned at bcon19? Smart Mask Vector tools would be so great (helps to composite for example a scar onto a face without modelling a head, just the video and scar picture)

Is GraphicAll a part of Blender institute or is it a side a side project? And if it is a part of blender, way not add all the new tools from the GraphicAll version of Blender to Blender 2.82 or 2.83?

CURVE EDITING

In the new versions of Blender are not present any new tools to model by curve (loft, birail ecc..), will they be introduced (as modifier, hopefully)?

Bonus question: the scatter tool still doesn't take in account the intersections of the objects, will this tool be improved?

Hi! Love blender and this show :D. I have 2 questions:

• BlenderKit is not working in blender 2.82 and 2.83 on my computer. Is it a bug, or I have something wrong?
• Is it planned or possible to bake Mantaflow simulations on GPU like in Houdini or Embergen? It would speed up the whole process a lot.

Thanks for answering :D Have a nice day

​What is the procedure to join the team accoutable to implement Vulkan within Belnder?

There is no way to play sound when objects collide

Is adaptive subdivision going to be released soon, cause it has been experimental for along time

Is there a way to tell Blender to ignore/ hide cameras bound to markers in the timeline so I can render with other non animated cameras via render farms. This would be handy when I want to render non animated cameras in the same project. It seems that the bound cameras override any other camera.

🔻 Premivite Object Node When? 🔺

Hey Pablo!

Any news on this feature: developer.blender.org/D6158

It seems like its right there, but there doesn't seem to be any further development. Any news or info on this?

When will eevee get real time ray tracing??

Hi Pablo, I have been working in the VFX industry for a while as facial modeller/rigger. I recently started writing addons for blender trying to bring the workflow for facial rigging into blender. In production I used to do a very extensive use of the maya transfer attributes. If you are not familiar with maya, the transfer attribute is something very similar to the blender data transfer. Unfortunately the data transfer is missing some key features such as transferring vertex position sampling the UV space. So I wrote this add on in python that is adding what is missing in the data transfer. . I am wondering what should to propose this feature to blender. This is the the add on. It is quite fast since it is using numpy to handle the vertices transformation, I just find that redundant to be an external add on. gum.co/tOKEh

Are there any talks going on for Ray tracing in Eevee? It's heavy use of screen space effects keeps it from being production ready

Is there plans to make material output an input in modifiers? take the displacement modifier, it currently needs a texture input but is it planned to allow us to use a material as an input ? There was a modified version of blender 2.79 that had that functionality

when gonna be support to select from behind without X-ray I already explain it as option. : blender.community/c/rightclickselect/1tcbbc/

Also in terms of anim2020, I still highly suggest blender collaborate with Physics-based Casceduere software, they are still early in the development of their software and it would be godsent to have that integration at the same time blender is looking to remake and improve their animation system.

hey, Pablo cool work you guys are doing, I especially love the new collection manager (m button). first though do you guys mind putting up that new icons sheet as a wallpaper and what's the update with blueprint tool frm Pablo Dobaro, Everything nodes and Interactive mode and animaiton 2020 projects?

Hi Pablo. Glad to see you are back on a regular schedule :)

I am doing some simple smoke simulations , with Mantaflow, and I can't do anything else while baking? Is this by design? This doesn't seem like a very usable work flow? (2.82 from last night)

When are the new VFX particles come to Blender? Ue4 and Unity3D (and old BlenderGame engine) have great Videogame FX , perfect for performance and Real time visualization (with Eevee) ,and great for stylized renders too!

Rename the "Go to current frame" to "Go to selected frame"

Hi Pablo, When Lanpr will be include in Blender master ? freestyle is excellent but is very slow.
