Blender Ideas List for Workbench-NEXT / EEVEE-NEXT

For Previewing the volume inside the viewport :

• Create a data block for OpenVDB
  • Convert OpenVDB Datablock to nanoVDB Datablock
• Volumetric Shading
• Environnement-aware Shaders
• Advanced sampling
• Shadow Effects
• Anti-aliasing
• Sparse Grid (LODs)
• Increase voxel to x128 and x256 (In preview mode, let the user choose between both value !)

Wishlist features

• Preview Volume (With filter for not see the voxel)
• Tetrahedralisation toplogy (Delaunay)
• Realtime (30FPS) Simulation inside the viewport (Eevee & Cycles & Worbench)
• Collider detection & velocity (Physics Nodes) for Geometry Nodes
• Implement a system for manipulating in realtime the generated Geometry nodes in edit mode
• Better Alpha compute
• Better compute of volume inside cycles
• Implement AMD GI Capsaicin inside eevee than surfels GI
• GPU compute cloth simulation
• GPU Simulation (Cloth & Soft / Rigid Body)
• Clustering culling (Like Nanite or Meshlet)
• Adaptative subdivision by detail (Microdisplacement) (Eevee / Workbrench / Cycles (out experimental)

DynamicsOTris (Triangle clustering with occlusion & frustrum culling)

The system cover the Static Mesh, Not Dynamics Mesh

• Convert topo to Triangles instead Quad
• Groups Triangles into clusters (x128 Tris max per cluster)
  • Build Bounding data for each cluster
• Cull clusters based on Bounds
  • Frustrum culling
  • Occlusion Culling (2 pass)
• LODs
• Tesselation
• Cluster hierarchy

For editing a mesh already baked you just go on edit mode, and the baked mesh are converted to a classical mesh and when your exit the edit mode, if the option are checked ! The mesh are re-build into a dynamics triangle clustering

This the Steps :

> Group : Clusters to clean their shared boundary
> Merge : Triangles from group into shared list
> Simplify : to 50% the # of triangles
> Split : Simplified triangle list into clusters (128 Triangles)
