## Meeting Topics
* Hair Project
* Solver side is working, Jacques to move code around a bit while keeping it working
* Simulation state bundle updating needs work and final decision as well
* Lots still to do before the experience is good enough to replace particle hair: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/issues/125700
* Initial Planning for 2026
* Hair dynamics project wrap up (to the point of being able to take over particle hair)
* Get to the point of replacing the non-hair particle system functionality
* Rigid body integration with Jolt solver in Geometry Nodes
* Modal node tools ("interactive mode")
* Procedural modeling (most likely replacement based modeling [proposal](https://devtalk.staging.blender.org/t/replacement-based-procedural-modelling-proposal/31851))
* Bone info node
* Original and relative space toggle to be added
