BLENDER GAME ENGINE FEATURE REQUESTS / DONATING CODERS BY BLENDER COMMUNITY

• what is BLENDER? see more info BLENDER 3D
• The purpose of this page for list the BLENDER GAME ENGINE (BGE) features request and ideas from blender artists forum .
• if you are a coder please choice a sections form above list like tools 1, materials, physics etc. and post your proposals in the feature request forum then blender community will decide how donate you.
• we collecting feature request in the feature request forum and then we put here this wiki page
• you can choice a small part too form this sections list to like 3d decals, bugfix, etc.
• if you are a beginner coder you will helped by blender advanced coders.

FEATURES NEEDS

bug fixing

• Fix the BIG bug in ZTransp when 2 objects with alpha lose the right "render sequence" depending on the angle of camera view...

common speedups:

• fbo (frame buffer objects) useful speed up for video texture, brdf rendering, 2d filters, and 3d glsl shader
• rasterizer improvement
• logic brick improvement
• more python functions

python functions

• More access to mesh control like Delete and Create vertex, Edge, Faces
• Integrate globals scripts without Logic Bricks link

water effect:

• improve shaders for water effect:
  • reflect,refract,caustic projecting texture, fresnel etc.
  • some water sader example in blender forum
  • advanced ocean shader demo
• Advanced Water System implementing - waves plugin by ashsid

2d filters:(most 2d filters done with glsl via python but need use glsl 2d filter without slow python, something like turn on/off button, on gui and use c++)

• 2d filters in blender artists forum
• hdri
• ssao
• bloom
• dof (depth of field) or focal blure
• etc-etc

shadows improvements:

• soft and alpha shadow patch bug-fixing and implementing blender forum
• large terrain shadow for sun lamp
  • Light Space Projective Shadow Mapping
  • Parallel-Split Shadow Maps source example

tools 1:

• 3d decals About how using 3d decals
• implementing decimate modifier with preserve uv make easy for LOD by Daniel Genrich decimate modifier
• dynamic 2d imposters
• portals in c++ (is possible with python but slow) automatic portal generation

tools 2:

• bitmap font creator build in
• tangent normal-map baking with anti-aliasing (AA)
• create uv unwrap on all active or selected objects and show/editing in on time the uv editor
• baking light-map for instanced mesh (dupligroup or duplicated linked mesh)
• work tangent normal-map with mirrored uv (or with mirror modifier?)
• unique uv map for instanced object
• terminal feedback inside blender window
• Bring back the red and green uv editor lines

material:

• support compressed dds textures to save huge memory (uncopressed is works)
• TextureFace mode should work in GLSL
• openGl anti-alising
• glow glsl map
• amb (ambient) at Map To panel works with glsl
• Refl (reflect) at Map To panel with Cube Env map

glsl shaders without python and use material gui buttons and c++

• spherical harmonic lighting
• relief map/offset map/parallax map / iterative parallax map
• IBL(image based lighting)
• cube map
• SSS sub surface scattering
• real 3d cubemap and animatable
• mirror
• glass width refract

new logic bricks:

• fps logic brick or mouse look
• constrain to path support (actuator? or use the constraint)
• text object box multi line actuator? (left, center, right, align)
• timer sensor (like delay sensor): count back, reset, start, pause
• getIpoCurrentFrame value with python
• Add Property button - need List type

extras:

• gui system
• particle system
• network system
• ai system
• LOD system to terrain
• Logarithmic Z-buffer
• lod system (work in progress)
• sound system (work in progress)
• occluder sytem (done)
• imporve and bugfix 3d stereo modes (pageflip, syncdouble, anaglyph etc)
• blender player webplugin for all browsers

physics:

• python access to collision points

others:

• up down button for all visual logic brick blocks without need closing
• Implement a global and per-object event queue where both python and (internal) c++ functions can be registered as event handlers (trough a callback mechanism) that way the engine will be more dynamic, and libraries created in python will have a lot more power and will be easier to translate to c++ f they prove to be useful and/or need more speed.
• pyartoolkit plugin by ashsid for all platforms-win-linux-mac
