## Meeting Topics

### Development Updates
* Roadmap
* Multires Propagation
* [Prototype: Displacement per Multires level](https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/140792)
* [Experiment: Fix: Multires propagation can cause "spikes"](https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/148976)
* Sean has meeting with Sergey this Wednesday to discuss the topic further.
* PRs should be in testable state at the moment.
* 5.1 Targets
* [Sculpt: Add Geometry Nodes "texture" evaluation to brushes](https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/133123)
* Currently behind an experimental option in the PR. No progress since last meeting
* [Sculpt: Scene Project Brush](https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/136342)
* One bug brought up in review that still needs to be resolved. No progress since last meeting.
* Winter of Quality
* Started last week, some small bugfixing has happened so far, along with more automated testing and some internal refactors.

### General Discussion
* [Migrate unified paint flag from scene / mode level to brush level](https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/issues/138469)
* Came up in [Randomized Color Settings as Tool Properties of a Brush are not saved per unique brush asset](https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/issues/151301)
* In the future, would we also need the ability to have a brush use the mode-wide color but its own specific jitter settings?
* Yes, we want the randomize color to have it's own "unified" toggle.
* **Conclusion**: No actions for now.
* [Inverting mask while a face set is hidden ignores vertices on the face set boundary](https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/issues/132630)
* Making slight progress here, hiding is too aggressive compared to mesh hiding. Have a technical idea of how to fix this.
* Brief discussion about the differences of face vs vert hiding and the implications in sculpt mode
* **Conclusion**: No actions in the meeting, further updates will happen in the issue & related PRs once created.
* Shade Smooth in Sculpt Mode?
* Previously this was removed because it didn't work well in Sculpt Mode.
* Julien had ideas about having this as a display toggle.
* General agreement that it would be nice to have this in a context menu in sculpt mode, but that's a larger topic.
* **Conclusion**: Module is aligned with idea, Sean will make issue.
* [High memory usage selecting elements in edit mode on meshes with a multires modifier](https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/issues/139902)
* Not "sculpting" specific, but relevant due to Multires modifier.
* Hans has an idea of how this can be fixed.
* Neither Julien nor Daniel recall encountering this issue.
* **Conclusion**: Sean plans to tackle this in January.
* "UV Smooth" defaults on Subdiv & Multires modifiers
* Julien brings up the following issues and shows a demo of the default "Keep Boundaries" setting
* The current default "Keep Boundaries" is often leading to texture painting issues.
* Stretched and overlapping uv maps are common with this setting with concave/convex uv boundaries (each subdivision increases the chance of overlap)
* "Keep Corners, Junctions & Concave" might be a better default (Doesn't solve the issue entirely though)
* General discussion about how this is a complex topic that depends on how subdivided the mesh actually is, whether or not UV smoothing is done is dependent on this
* Hans brings up this being related to curves as well.
* Brief discussion about having an option for this at a uv map level
* Julien mentions that UI design wise, it being in "advanced" is not ideal either as it makes people less likely to change it
* **Conclusion**: Julien will make further issues, one for the per-uv map topic and one for the defaults topic.
* [Paint: Move stencil and clone storage from Mesh to paint settings](https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/150936)
* Julien would need to test this out more to give further feedback.
* It seems like we're using this to make up for missing image editing features
* **Conclusion**: Julien to provide further feedback offline.
* [Improved voxel remesher attribute interpolation](https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/issues/130525)
* Vivien brings up this topic as a general pain point for studio work, continues to be a relevant annoying problem.
* **Conclusion**: Sean to prioritize this as a smaller task in the new year.
