0.2.6a (2021-06):
|
||||
* Default behavior from YAML files.
|
||||
|
||||
* Attempts to automate file and scene naming.
|
||||
|
||||
* Render Profiles basically works, and uses defaults set in the project's
|
||||
abx.yaml file(s).
|
||||
|
||||
This is the last version with the full file_context system, and I never really
|
||||
got it to work right. So, I decided to move on without it.

ROADMAP (for 2021?):
|
||||
|
||||
0.2.6 (2021-05):
|
||||
The first attempt to incorporate YAML configuration into the program.
|
||||
|
||||
* Introduce better fallback behavior when project YAML files aren't found,
|
||||
and give informative messages to the user about them.
|
||||
|
||||
* Move program defaults into abx.yaml and project.yaml files in the ABX
|
||||
source code. Load these before project files to guarantee default requirements
|
||||
are met.
|
||||
|
||||
* Use abx.yaml 'render_profiles' block to set options for render_profiles
|
||||
CURRENT DEV:
|
||||
|
||||
0.2.7:
|
||||
Replace "Lunatics! Properties" with "Project Properties" (the project name will
|
||||
be one of the properties, and probably read-only). Parse the "role" field.
|
||||
Generate read-only data from file_context and appropriate data-type fields
|
||||
for unspecified ranks.
|
||||
After another review, I decided to eliminate file_context and related modules
|
||||
from ABX, replacing them with a much simpler "abx_context" module that just
|
||||
updates from the filepath and gets the relevant 'abx.yaml' files from the project
|
||||
directories, using "accumulate" (which is still present).
|
||||
|
||||
I never got the ranks/branches system working as planned, and it's increasingly clear
|
||||
that this code is more appropriate to use with KitCAT. It has unnecessary features to
|
||||
support non-Blender files, and it's possible for it to mess things up or break, if the
|
||||
project context is unexpected.
|
||||
|
||||
Project Properties will exist, but will be a very simple naming utility, with the
|
||||
various names we need implemented simply as Blender scene properties.
|
||||
|
||||
Lunatics Properties will be removed after moving dependencies in Ink/Paint to the
|
||||
new system.

ROADMAP (for 2021?):
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
0.2.8:
|
||||
Fix the schema override issue to allow for use with library assets or other
|
||||
hierarchy besides episodes. Improve the handling of "rank" (possibly refactor
|
||||
the code to make rank-handling more intuitive?)
|
||||
?
|
||||
|
||||
0.2.9:
|
||||
Write / save / update to filepath to allow changing the name based on the
|
||||
input from the Project Properties (Not 100% sure I want this).
|
||||
?
|
||||
|
||||
0.3.0:
|
||||
0.3.0 should have full data support driving the program features.
|
||||
|
||||
0.3.1:
|
||||
Pop-up report generation? I had this working experimentally, years ago, and
|
||||
it'd be useful to generate pop-up reports for some of the introspection
|
||||
features I want to add.
|
||||
|
||||
0.3.x:
|
||||
Improvements to data system and other capabilities.
|
||||
|
||||
* Name context by group, rather than scene? Would be handy for library assets.
|
||||
|
||||
* Possible integration with KitCAT? There's significant overlap between ABX
|
||||
and KitCAT and I already call the metadata files "kitcat" data in the sources.
|
||||
Will they be merely interoperable, or should I actually make ABX into the KitCAT
|
||||
plugin for Blender?
|
||||
|
||||
* Port ABX to Blender 2.8+, keeping 2.7 support, if possible. If I'm really
|
||||
going to use 2.8 for compositing, I will need this.
|
||||
|
||||
0.4.x (hopefully during 2021, because these would be very useful to have!):
|
||||
New features. Hopefully:
|
||||
|
||||
* Recognize/use "role" field.

0.4.x & beyond:

Version with fairly-complete Blender 2.7 & 2.8 support & integration with KitCAT.
|

|

Might consider adding support for MoCap and Digital Puppetry tools?
|

|

Possibly add tools for "machinima workflow" with UPBGE or Godot platforms.

0.5.x:
|

Integration with Papagayo / Lipsync data for animation?
|

Maybe find the appropriate data files and run the lipsync importer on them?
|

Or perhaps incorporate the lipsync importer code?

0.6.x:

Automated management of credits & licensing? (Or does this all fall under

the heading of KitCAT?)
