[@Alumx]

I love the influx of blender code videos, it really shines a light upon something that non-programmers are too scared to get into, making it a lot more approachable!
thanks Jacques 👍 ☺

[@jimbeaux4988]

Big shout out to all you guys fixing these bugs. Blender is getting so much better the last year or so.

[@jasonfanclub4267]

Thank you Jacques!

[@davidmgjogos]

This is really cool. I'm an artist (animator) so I always wanted to know how a bug fix was done. Hope you have more of these videos coming out or maybe a livestream

[@darkknight4353]

is this channel blender's Official channel too ?

[@BlenderDevelopers]

Yes. This channel is focused purely on development, while the main Blender Foundation channel also includes community-related videos like Blender Everyday, Blender Conference, Reels, etc. There are two other official Blender channels (Blender Cloud and Blender Animation Studio), but to follow Blender's progress you can subscribe to this channel and Blender Foundation.

Thank you for this, these videos help a lot when trying to learn how to work with the blender source code :)

[@theostipps]

The developers like you are all busy to make corrections and updates. But to get these updates, I still need to completely load a complete new Blender version.
Which renders all my previous settings and AddOns useless. So i would like to have sort of "Updater" Program, where i can checkmark the version i want and i get it installed.
If possible preserving external AddOns like Luxcore-Render, POV_Ray etc.

Interesting video!

[@DonkeyBinyamin]

The Color of Proportional Editing Circle on Blender 2.9 alpha is too shallow to see. Could that be fixed? Sorry for issuing this problem here, since I don't know where to issue.

[@yash1152]

it is something like devtalk . blender .org

[@bme4285]

Thanks for all the work you’re doing to make life easier for us. There are so many things I would like to learn in blender, particularly in 2d animation and modeling/rendering of buildings. Now a number of things don’t work and then I wonder if it’s a bug or I just don’t know what I’m doing.

[@ArtChepe]

I want more jeje someone make a new feature please and record it... btw, good job! and thanks for share :)

[@GarudaGamana]

I have pc with amd4300 processor ,linux os. Blender 2.8 only not abld to render in evee

[@BKdefr]

you need a gpu with opengl 3.3 support.

[@2002budokan]

Your mouse should be hyper active...

[@Franck47F]

😀😀😁🤤🤔🤨

[@golemkonty]

This video was not helpful. The only guys that this is helpful is the ones that already know how to fix a bug and they can see an alternative workflow. For me it was more of a music video, nothing more. Nothing was explained, we even dont know what was the bug about. Sorry, I dont like to be negative, but this is the truth.

[@Tiim]

He explains what the bug is about at 1:05. Also you can read the bug report on the screen. Right afterwards you can see him reproduce the bug locally.

[@xox8717]

This is more of an overview if you want step by step then check the link in the description, Dalai did a 3H & half long video.

[@golemkonty]

@@xox8717 yeah, from which nothing can be understood

[@alexanderchaplinbraz1113]

@@golemkonty I both agree and disagree with you. This video shows how an actual blender developer fixes a bug, but to actually understand it you need some prior knowledge and experience. You can't fix anything if you don't know a bit of the language at the very least. This video won't teach you the language, because it's a fundamental requirement, but if you have at least that, it will give you a really good example of the steps you should follow.
Basically, this video is for people like me, who know enough of C, C++ and/or Python to read code and play around with it, but have no experience looking at someone else's massive code base so we are lost. It's not for complete beginners that expect to be able to fix bugs from watching a short ten minute video.

[@bme4285]

golemkonty Phew!! I was beginning to think I was d only one who didn’t get it. I guess it’s not for me to understand but for me to know that people are working on fixing bugs. I recently experienced one where the sculpting tools in 2d animation stopped working. Or maybe I just don’t know what I’m doing (as a VERY recent blender user). I just downloaded it a few days ago. 🙂
