Toolchain improvement - Community wishlist
For all, stuff we will really do is being collected under: Development list. This page is more for raw ideas collected from forums: ogre, indygamer, blender and our blog.

Crystal Space
real time soft shadows
skinned rag-doll physics
blur you see when looking through steam or fire
meshes with layers or glow around them
GLSL support
Cubemap generator
Shaders: cool effects, weaver, cleaning /shader/ dir
Imposters
Region unloading
Painting tools
Using a tablet and paint is a serious PITA compared to any other program. Its like having a pen that still works like a mouse but with incorrect pressure stacking.
proper undo
be able to see the paint brush
multiple axis
mirror painting
layers
cut and paste
move/scale
unified brush system (same brush for sculpt mode and texture painting mode)
create new brush directly inside blender
add a “brush” path in the user preferences\file path menu
make straight line while holding shift (like sculpt mode smooth stroke)
possibility to edit the fall-off for smooth stroke and normal painting
painting normalmap in real-time
draw my texture images directly on my 3d model in the 3d view after unwrapping. It’s somewhat possible now, but needs some love.
integration with gimp?
projection painting
multiple layer painting
ability to 3d paint, while keeping hidden faces… hidden ( not sure how to explain this clearly, I mean, if another object hides part of the object I’m painting on, I’d like to have the choice to see it or not. As it is now, in texture paint mode, the painted object always shows through other objects )
Animation
For doing simpler leg setups i would find it extremely helpful if there were the option that iktargets can automatically snap back to the bone they are applied to if you move them too far.
Easier to reuse animations on different characters (also with slightly different proportions or armatures) but i fear this is one of the more difficult things to implement.
A better way to preview an action, currently the Start/End frames of the scene are used for preview (Alt-a), but it would often be better use the start and end of an action instead when doing character animation, a function like “Play Back Animation between Markers” or so would be good, where the user could place markers that show the start and end of the action.
Improves in the way the IK responds, the handling of it and rotations when you have a complex rig with many constraints, would end up in speed up of all sort of projects. Anything that would help in picking your ik targets in a fast way, and to handle it naturally.
Flip vertex group name and shape anim while applying mirror modifier !
“Nice to have” would be something similar to the biped skeleton / footstep tools. To have a ready-to-go skeleton that fits a lot of characters and the ability to have walk animation cycles created automatically save a lot of time.
Sculpting
Moving the averaging menu to the sculpt properties widget would be small a workflow improvement.
Faster renderer/sculpting mode (working with a million of polygons can be really annoying)
improve 3d painting BodyPaint, 3D, ZBrush, and Modo are enormously ahead of us (among others) in the painting department. The first and simplest thing would be unify the painting tool working methods: sculpting, painting in the 3D interface, and various 2D painting methods should all be able to use the same tools and methods preferably styled after the sculpting tools since it has the best hotkey, pen tablet and interaction methods and it has best brush methods. After that I’d like to use much larger textures for 3D and 2D painting. Then it would be extremely nice to be able to paint different channels (spec, color, diffuse) and paint different layers. Other useful things would be painting across multiple objects.
Image based sculpt (like modo)
Modelling
Improved retopology tools - many artists are switching to a ’sculpt first - then retopologize - then detail sculpt’ the current best tool for retopology is topogun. Retopologizing is creating a new mesh topology over an existing mesh. Some tools allow you to retopologize your existing hipoly mesh and have the sculpted details baked into your new mesh automatically.
Being able to edit a multires mesh - silo allows you to add delete and extrude parts of your base mesh, even though they are ‘multires’ - currently in blender you must delete or apply multires before you can edit the mesh. (see LetterRip post at Blender.org :: View topic - What are you missing in your gamedev toolchain ?)
A merge verts brush, much like the box select brush (double tap B) that welds all the verts together in its selection area.
Efficient Tri strips when converting Quads to Tri’s (headus UVLayout Support - Home)
Baking
Better support for baking normals, ambient occlusion and other things one might want for textures.
Baking the single bounce indirect illumination
Radiosisty baking (texture based)
AO baking affected by smooth options (there are hard edges in shadow map right now, even when they are smoothed) THIS ONE IS NOT CLEAR
More high poly to low poly baking options like ambient occlusion or diffuse color (or anything)
Antialiased baking
Blender Python API
additional menus
access more of blender interface through python
draw mode flexibility
Blender-GameEngine Integration
property editor
node editor for realtime shaders
contextual help (hover help)
customizable interface
custom object types, the last time I used Blender as level editor I used Emptys with special names to mark spawn points, enemy positions and such.
materials looking the same in GE as render
real time preview …. over the network!
Game Editor
improved workflow for light mapping whole levels (and preview them without much effort) + global exporter scale
be able to set collision box in the 3d editor (and see it)
polygon/triangle counter
easy sound implementation, possibility to set spatial position
better physics support
more flexible walkthrough camera modes
a embedded version management interface (svn) as alternative to raw file-browser would be cool (in the direction of asset management)
blend in a “ghosted” model as reference for getting the scale and orientation right might be helpful in some cases.
better navigation on big levels
more complex meta data per object for external engines
Material system will be more unified for rendering and the Gameengine or exporting to external engines.
realtime IK/bones preview in the GE
multiscene-management
automatic refresh of changed image file. + better support for interior modeling: a way to auto-hide backfacing polygons when modeling the inside of a building or level, since they have the tendency to get in the way
uv relax (that helps to keep the same texel in all mapped faces)
“make nice artwork automatically” button
“make my game not suck” button
Complete IDE Dream
better (free) static code analysis tools like CodeSonar or Coverity Prevent
Advanced image manipulation capabilities / image editing (2d drawing and manipulation software, would be nice to remove gimp / krita from pipeline)
raster editing part also (to remove inkscape from pipeline)
mind-maping module
The idea is to have blender for all art related / development stuff. Like from starting a project: design documents (text or mind maping), 2d story board (animated)….
tools for fonts edition and integration
Other
A tool like polyboost to improve the workflow when working with low polygon models and high definition models would be very nice in blender Untitled Document
Smoothing of Tangents before baking, as in zBrush to avoid nasty seams in game engines.
Rays travel along smoothed normals but tangents get calculated via solid normals. This would be a good option for smoothing groups.
“Save as Directory” checkbox in the save dialog could make things much easier (for version control).
“Export Library” function that works like an inverse of “Load Library” and allows to export pieces of a .blend to a new .blend file, would make some tasks easier then having to delete all unneeded stuff manually
Layers naming, reordering or in general customize layers
Being able to change the format to save images in the save dialog (now it can only be done outside).
An automatic way to make sure that a .blend file properly refers to external files, i.e. by relative path only, not packed. When commiting .blends to SVN its very easy to mess things up so that the .blend doesn’t work properly for other users.
A window that shows Poly count and poly Budget that you can leave open…much like the one in max.
be able to use VSE or other sequencer to arrange sounds in cutscenes
improvement of the File->Append or Link, Blender can be not only modelling application but also complex level editor
correct handling of transparent textures in the viewport (options for back to front sorted drawing and for alpha testing)
integration with the Nvidia texture tools and Cuda would be great…Thus allowing users with new GPU’s to take full advantage of them within Blender. (NVIDIA Texture Tools 2, CUDA Downloads - NVIDIA )
target weld would also be nice or just redoing the snap tool so it’s possible to use proportional edit with it. “I know but for even smoother workflow target weld with dragging the vertex is much faster and less tedious than alt+m all the time.”
An intuitive eraser would also be nice. The current one leaves a color ghosting effects behind which can make painting transparency nearly impossible.
An icon for the brush alpha in the brush tab of multires as a reminder for when you come back to a project and cant remember what alpha’s you have loaded.
Blender’s coordinate system be expanded to perhaps an infinite design plane, or at least a floating design plane if an infinite one can not be accomplished.
bevel tool (it can’t select individual edges, and the other bevel script screws up pretty bad 70% of the time), and also, when selecting faces, it would be cool if it acted like in Modo, where you select two along a line, then, using the arrow keys, you selet the rest; it’s sort of like the Select Loop tool and Control+NumPlus… That would save me some time.
The orientation is properly flipped to account for differences between Blender’s axes and OTHERPROGRAM’s axes (handedness and axis problem)
Stuff that directly doesnt apply to us
Misc Useful Stuff
Options for selection of Blender units, Meter/centimeter and feet/inches would cover all the bases for modeling.
UV Editing
view uvs of multiple selected objects in uv editor
I’d like to see more “space-ship” friendly features in the areas of UV-mapping, multi-res and 3D paint.
Crazy Stuff
web plugin
a mode to support assembling models like vehicles/spaceships/buildings from components, similar to lego. (saving groups of components as new components, defining snap points).. components would be reusable, and it would save trouble with uvmapping (once the components are mapped)
a crazy feature would be to be able to draw b-spline lines on the object’s surface, and stroke it with the active brush…Sort of 3D vector drawing. but, ok, this is a bit crazy
The ability to create save and load colour swatches (?¿) would be welcome.
The ability to ‘import Blender’ from any Python script. - (Not possible without major changes)
Premade animation armatures, rag doll templates
Rejected (Stuff we dont want)
direct support for Gimp/XCF files Non standard format, gimp should support OpenEXR or Similar
Editor to manage multiple light baking etc, light manager? Just use layers or a new scene and link in the objets you want to bake
Exporters
Better mesh exporting API. The current one doesn’t keep vertex sharing and thus produces over bloated mesh data.
improve verse
make fbx exporter work on macbook pros
exporter defaults get saved with ctrl+u
export to direct x
working collada exporter that does more than static meshes
exporter for w3d
like helping the author of the b3d plugin with lightmaps export, or provide lightmaps export in other formats, but hopefully the most used. Luckily, there are always formats that tend to be most used (md5, b3d, x, md3, md2, OBJ, ASE , FBX, collada ) like I have seen many engines and tools already importing lightmapped levels in *.b3d format.
import and export script for MicroStation (.DGN).
Better import of Collada and FBX formats in Blender (with armature animation)
custom object properties support for the fbx exporter
instancing support for the fbx exporter
Renderer
better integration with yarfay, shaders, particles - final gathering/global ilumination based on photons maps
Blender Unrelated
improve opengl preview
background images assined independently to 6 ortho views
easy way to demo (and edit) glsl and hlsl shaders
Blender Game Engine
logic brick improvement
better message brick
near sensor is buggy
logic bricks fixed (generic logic bricks stuff)
ipo actuator needs work
velocity collision controller
BGE api incredibly awkward
More sensors and actuators (with some IA blocs for example)
Possibility to use more complex tree of logic blocs (sensors => controlers > sensors > controlers > actuators > controlers > sensors > ….)
when it comes to BGE is that we have to revert to old versions of concepts in order for it to work in BGE. It’d be great if things like the armature or subsurf modifier worked in game engine on the fly without having to convert it to the old, dirty way.
Things We Already Have (in current version or in svn or at least planned)
An option to automatically generate a heightmap from a plane.
UV editing in Edit Mode
Repeat textures outside the 0..1 area in the uv-editor. (helpful for mapping tiled textures)
baking approximate ambient occlusion
The ability to export double sided poly’s (for grass planes and leaves etc) would be a godsend
make it so geometry or empties can link to python scripts
cross platform viewer
set smooth/solid working on certain edges/faces
smooth groups? –> edge split modifier is the solution they say
easier ways of setting edges smoothness/hardness -> fast and interactive
Easier ways of setting edges smoothness/hardness.. it must be fast and interactive. (yes yes you can use the clunky modifier thing but it’s clunky.. and slow.. pls don’t get offended)
My two biggest problems were tools like smoothing groups, hard/soft edges, etc. I believe Blender now has this, but it doesn’t seem to be hooked into any export thing.
scripts per object
meta data
headless-less mode for running scripts and do batch conversion, having the interface pop-up can get a little annoying when doing command line stuff (Xnest helps somewhat).
easily search for any game object, asset or script, and reuse with simple drag and drop.
built in shaders and fx to drag and drop
lasso selection in the UV editor
Non-uniform scale in the uv editor
Weld selected vertices if the distance between them lies within a certain threshold
baking hipoly->lopoly
DDS support (Note, no support for loading compressed textures into OpenGL memory or cubemaps), they work like other images.
Only do heat-weighting on visible bone (or something similar) WKey when in Pose and Weight Paint mode
A Thicken tool. See Mesh Scripts menu
A better decimate tool, that keeps UV’s intact and has enough decency to keep a good mesh flow See Mesh Scripts, should be converted to a modifier
Postponed For Blender 2.5
Custom hot keys
integrate scripting in core ui

Caronte

Bueno, al menos hemos sabido que el copy/paste lo usas perfectamente

Personalmente borraría todo ese texto que casi nadie va a leer y como mucho dejaría solo el link Además esa es una lista de "peticiones", así que no asegura que todo eso pase a formar parte de Blender.

Leander

Caronte, siempre me ha dado la impresión que los de Apricot han tenido la ilusión de usar el mismo proceso de creación que el Max con sus ports y directX. Y no es así, Blender is diferent.

Observo además cierto desconocimiento, ¿para qué narices quieren soft-hard edges mas controlables? en un juego eso relentiza mucho y/o no es factible.

No es lo mismo modelar para un render que para un game engine, y hay gente que no lo sabe.

elGordo

... hombre, pero sie estos se han metido en este fregado, esas cosillas ya las habrán deliberado, no? Y ya sabes Leander que en los tiempos que corren el lowpoly es cada vez menos lowpoly ...
En todo caso es estupendo que este año en vez de 1 sean dos los proyectos que potencien el desarrollo de nuestra batidora naranja!!!!!
Un saludo.

Si y no, habrán tenido en cuenta que recibirán soporte si necesitaran algo durante el proceso... y si no viene ese soporte a tiempo....

Pero bueno, serán conjeturas mias.

Caronte

O te estás confundiendo, o directamente desconoces el tema, porque el 100% de los juegos hoy día usan tanto aristas dura como suavizadas.

Creo que definitivamente estás confundiendo los "creases" con los grupos de suavizado (que es lo que piden).

Para que lo veas claro, en Blender puedes suavizar solo parte de un objeto, seleccionando sus caras y pulsando "Set Smooth", pero el problema es que dentro de una zona suavizada no puedes hacer aristas duras, cosa que si es posible el los motores de los juegos y en prácticamente todos los softs comerciales.

Un ejemplo imposible en Blender sin añadir geometría, seria una esfera suavizada pero con su ecuador marcado. Para hacer eso en Blender habria que partir la esfera.
