BLENDER 2.82 & BEYOND 🚀 Blender Today Live #91 - YouTube

Hi, Pablo! I want to ask when will the camera tracking and solving be improved? And what's the possibility of adding camera matching like fSpy or SketchUp?

Hi Pablo, how are you? And I am creating a tool to create Batch Renders (renders by line commands), with it it will be possible to have a visual interface of the process, render the Custon Output Files, cameras, scenes, layers and even choose which frames will be rendered. It is being hard work, but soon I believe that I finish the Release version. Thanks from Brazil! <3 {attachment Print-1PNG} {attachment Print-2PNG}{attachment Print-3PNG}

Hey Pablo! Love seeing you every week!

A few months ago I bugged you a lot about baking being added back to Blender (specifically ambient occlusion baking to vertex colours -- not Dirty Vertex Colours). Any news on that?? The devs said this would be relatively easy to do, but we haven't heard anything about it! When will we get baking back?

Someone made an addon for vertex occlusion baking but it takes forever because it's written in python...! We need native support!

(addon here: blendermarket.com/products/vertex-oven )

Thanks Pablo!

Hey Pablo, mirror editing options don't work for all tools like extrude, bevel..etc but for armatures it does work, this is a standard in other applications, is there a reason why Blender is different?

Would it be possible to add the Cavity overlay from the shaded viewport to EEVEE as well? It's a blazingly fast overlay for cavities and edges, something EEVEE is really missing. Of course it would be even better as an actual node in the shader editor.

(I'm not talking about the pointiness, since that only works on a vertex-level and requires a strongly subdivided mesh. Cavity works on low-poly geometry as well.)

Hello Pablo! Do you know what happened to the themes from the theme contest?

If I want to ask for a new feature or tool in Blender, where is the best place to ask?

Heeeeellooooo Pablo! Love the show and find it invaluable for staying up to date with Blender's ever changing features and improvements.

I have a request: A few weeks ago I heard you read the list for priority fixes and features for 2020; to my surprise, motion blur for EEVEE wasn't on that list. My request is to ask you to lobby for EEVEE motion blur, object and deformation, to be added to 2020 priority list.

I also heard you mention the developer of EEVEE (Clement?) was working on something, but wasn't really making it a priority.

EEVEE is extremely capable, as you know, and motion blur isn't just a "nice thing to have", but a must when working with animation.

Thanks again and love the show! Tim

***For now I've been using the EEVEE motion blur add-on hack but it has some major drawbacks, like time of renders. If six samples is used to blur, it will require the render time to take 6 times as long, and so on. Also it seems to not allow for renders to use "filmic's" color depth or dynamic range.

Hi Pablo, I hope you have a great day.

Any news for the Blender assets manager?

And Will you add snow to Mantaflow?

helloo! question here, how does eevee work, is it dependant on the cpu or the gpu? because my pc can handle games with very good graphics but eevee is tryna barely live on some scenes sometimes.

and also, is the Principled hair shader coming to eevee anytime soon? its just so easy to shade it the right way in cycles

Hi Pablo, I feel like there's no attention from developers to community channel about features requests aka "Right-Click Select". It looks like there's no mod or somone to moderate all propositions (for example proposal for Remove Doubles modifier is not checked as Done and many others), removing duplicates, answering what is possible and what not. Right now it looks little bit like a mess with houndreds of propositions with 1-3 points.

Maybe making something similar like CodeQuest but for TOP50 ideas from RCS? I think the best would be splitting top requests for two categories: big and small features. There's many small features, probably fast to deliver - for example "Isolate selected" in Object Types Visibility blender.community/c/rightclickselect/0mfbbc/

I'm aware that right now most of dev team is fixing bugs but would be great for community that even they can't code they have practical impact for Blender devlop (besides donates). Some devs even has option for donate for specific features (LuxCore developers).

Many thanks for you and all people who makes Blender better and better!

Hi pablo and thanks for your live streams ! Do you have an idea of the date of merging for the grease pencil refactoring patch ? I'm currently using it and it would be great to take advantage of all the new features ! cheers from paris !

How about an add-on channel here on blender.community? For the benefit of the Blender users, free add-ons needs an organized place for easy search.

What's the outcome of dyntopo, Pablo made a conterversial proposal.

Can you make a blenders own inbuilt character creator? /2

Any plans for big fat lens flares in Eevee, so there would be no need in post-processing whatsoever?

Hi Pablo! Every day I discover something new in Blender. Last week I learned NLA. It rocks!!!

Two questions today:

1. What is the reason for having Dope Sheet and Action Editor as separate modes?
2. Why isn't OSL supported on GPU in Cycles?

As a bonus, I have noticed some inconsistency in Falloff menus. They are different in Edit mode and Sculpt Mode. The latter needs one extra click, which is odd. (see the screenshot){attachment tmpjpg}

Hi Pablo! When pressing the tilde key for the popup wheel for views (top, right etc) what are the numbers for? They don't match the shortcut keys. Should they?

Hi Pablo! Any reason why any of the tabs in the Properties Editor don't have a search bar at the top? Like this:

Sometimes there's to many Properties to sift through.

Can you make a blenders own inbuilt character creator?

Hi Pablo! Thank you for this live show! A UI Question - Can there be an option to reload a proxy within the View layer? Right now to reload an object we have to go and find its source in the Blender File, and not stay in the same place in the Outliner. Or is it planned only for the Asset manager in the far future?

Hey Pablo... is there any way to create lightning fx or electric fx in blender...

Can we have this feature added ? blender.community/c/rightclickselect/4qfbbc/

Hi Pablo, will be possible to setup sticky keys for actions any time soon? ( especialy snapping on/off/setup, edit pivot... again and again is driving me kill myself ) And, what about some kind of warning shortcut collision? I mess my keymap pretty often.

Enable Masking Feature to Edit & Object mode and add python api of that.

Pablo Dobarro created an awesome mask brush for sculpting mode. But, mask brush should be available to other modes as well. By enabling masking feature to edit mode and object mode would open the door for creativity with freedom. Example: creating terrain with more control over it. like, with one same plane we can create a canyon-like terrain on the specific part of the plane and one the other hand we can create other types of terrains on that plane. we will achieve that by masking some specific part of that plane. and we can create some detailed work on that terrain by making and messing around with it. and if we create the python API to know the masked part of the geometry with specific id allocated to that masked part of the geometry. we can build an awesome python script or add-on for terrain building that currently available scripts or addon lake of some feature like this. of course, there are many ways to use the masking feature. but, at time of writing this, I've only terrain building idea. I think it's an easy task. because masking feature is already available in sculpt mode.

Any chance of getting the render regions to work properly within Eevee? It kind of defeats the purpose of using it to save resources on really high-resolution images when it still loads the entire thing into memory at the scene resolution. Which, if you're rendering at a high resolution, often just crashes the program. So forget 300dpi prints.

At most, all render regions does in Eevee is just crop the full resolution image (while rendering/drawing everything). Not even close to what cycles does where it ONLY renders what's in the region. Using the shift X/Y doesn't really solve the problem either.

Hello Pablo. Would be great to have Glow over alpha in eevee by default without current workarounds. Cheers!

Hey pablo! How to fix transmission ray with shadow catcher to disable diffuse ray and only catch the shadow on glass ray?

Hi guys! Do you think Eevee is getting a working panorama camera anytime soon?

Hola Pablo! como estas? we need dynamic occlusion culling on eevee for better performence. is there any plan for this feature?

Hi, shoutout to Simon, really good work. Question: There is a known problem with animation nodes - they can't access splines that are deformed using modifiers (hooks as example). As I understood it's disabled in Blender code, but it would be super useful. Of course I don't know how much work that is or what that influences in other areas. Thank you!

we need dynamic occlusion culling on eevee! is there any plan for this feature?

Hi Pablo.

When will Eevee support Equirectangular/Fisheye camera?

Can you make a blenders own inbuilt character creator?

Buenas tardes, Pablo! I made a different thread because I didn't know if you would remember to make one. Sorry about that.

I have a few questions I would like to ask.

First, I am happy to see that there have been some improvements in cycles, but i have been wondering if we would ever get proper light path tracing, such as you do in LuxCore with bi-direction lighting or light path tracing.

Secondly, is there a way that we can use or change the image sequencer node so that we can have a specific image displayed at a time without having to use an offsent or scrolling through the timeline to find a certain frame? I would like to be able to use this in a similar fashion to how an MRI works to create a volumetric object that changes in color or images the deeper inside you go. Almost like giving it a Z or W slider to change between images.

Lastly, is there a way in blender to split vertex normals efficiently? Currently, I have to go through the ardous process of creating a duplicate mesh, splitting the edges, changing the face normals to affect the vertex normals and apply that to the original mesh.

Will it be possible to use a material output in the displacement modifier instead of just the texture input? There was a previous custom build of 2.79 that had that functionality at one time.

what's cheaper for instances - grace pencil or image with alpha clip... for grass

Hey pablo still enjoying 2.82, but it still needs a bit more ironing, 2 things we should have a select by similar name feature where objects of the same name can be quick selected

And does blender have any intentions of colaborating w casceduere

Hey Pablo, Is it a bug or an intended feature to have, ctrl, alt and shift depending on what side of the keyboard it is pressed? I use Alt M to merge but have to press left side alt and M now where in the past id slide my hand over and press right alt + M.

if its a feature how do you define left or right?

Hola Pablo,

I have a question - Is it possible (or will it be) to use a Vector Image (eg SVG or .AI) as a texture map that allows you to zoom in on it infinitely. It WAS something that 3ds Max did until it stopped working. It would be great to have in blender! So I can finally close the door on 3DS!

Blender is Awesome! Great Work!

What's poppin' Pablo? What is the plan for the texture editor in the future? Wouldn't it be gnarly if took on a Substance Designer-type role for procedural 2D texture generation?

Delete

Hello, Pablo. Is there any plans for widget for stencil maps in texture paint and sculpt modes? For now it can be manipulated only by shortcuts. There even no menu items for it.

Hi! Is there a way to assign a shortcut to 'Object -> Convert To...' ?

I think I used Alt-C in 2.79, but I can't assign anything to it in 2.8. For converting between Curves/Meshes/GreasePencil
