  Will poke Jacques and Kevin again
• ⚓ T101209 Regression: Crash on changing the face sets threshold
  Joe?

  Will ask Hans.

Still depending on D15428:

• ⚙ D15297 Normal Based Automasking Modes
  Last adjustments after D15122 lands or should we push this into master now?
  Joe can make last UI adjustments and update patch description.
  We'll commit it for 3.4

In Progress

Just wrapping up existing patches in review.

To Do's

Possible next to do's apart from brush managmenent?

• ⚓ T97616 Sculpt Paint tool defaults
  Just a small to do. Would be good to wrap this up.
  We can do this for brush managment since new defaults will be part of that project.

• ⚓ T97101 Color attribute improvements
  We should close this task.
  Obj, fbx & glTF support seem to be complete. Alembic & USD have other design tasks already.

  What about "Optimize GPU storage"?
  Can be done later. Low priority for optimisation.

  Let's open a new task for multires support.
  What would that task need and how long would it take? Short term?
  Still needs discussion on design.
  We should keep this for a later proper multires improvement project.

• ⚓ T98070 Improved Rake functionality
  Highly requested feature.
  Almost working properly in sculpt-dev.
  Could this be done short term in master?
  Joe confirms that this would be fast to do. There are no road blocks that would complicate this feature.

Joe:

• Cavity auto-masking patch (High Priority)
• Normal auto-masking patch (High Priority)
• PBVH Draw Refactor (Medium Priority)
• High priority bugs (Medium Priority)
• Roll texture mapping method (Medium Priority)
• An overview of sculpt-dev features that we want to land in master (Low Priority)
