Hello and welcome to the Lab beta!

This thread is intended to contain general information about the project and its current status. I will try to update it from time to time so please subscribe to it to receive updates (click the blue bell icon). You will be then notified about new posts through email.

For now there is a lot of work for us to go through. Our TODO list is pretty huge but some points do stand out.

Our current imminent priority for the project is, in the order of importance:

  1. Fix any reported and detected hard bugs which create crashing and instability
  2. Expose ability to pass in and receive all mesh information: geometry, multi-channel texture coordinates, face/vertex/edge selection, without passing extra information when not needed
  3. Using property-filled rollups for TypeValue nodes in schematic GUI
  4. Collapsing single-threaded graph to IL code for performance improvements

We do count on you giving our builds regular tests and reporting anything you have ideas on. We are still steering this plugin and you have a chance to get your input in early! Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you agin for joining the beta.

Thanks for the new videos - but wouldn't it make more sense to update the tutorial list available in the Documentation section of this forum?

Yes, it definitely would. I am just procrastinating on implementing youtube video embedding on the forums :) I will update the docs section as soon as I do that (getting the existing videos in the docs required disabling a bunch of stuff that blocks embedded content).

Wow,  that material/mesh interect example is awesome! So simple to setup such a powerfull effect, I don't think I've ever seen a mesh drive materials like that before.

Thanks Jonathan, hopefully we can create some new workflows with the Lab.

Just wanted to drop in and mention that I will be away Nov. 5 - 15, so there will be no new videos or builds until then. I'll still be roaming the forums however.
