Since so many things are going the way of live interaction over the nets and stuff, it would be so great to see Blender get something down the road.
Best way to describe it would be like playing Minecraft with friends, only, its Blender, not Minecraft.
Idk how this would be implemented but I definitely thinks its not unrealistic. Especially since the Blender devs seem much more open to advancing and evolving Blender than any other 3D app out there.
Things:
-Access same Blender project in real-time
-Each person still using their own local Blender instances but maybe connecting to a sort-of, Cloud Blender session
-Each person maybe even has a Suzanne head to represent their location in the 3D scene.
Im sure this would introduce a new butt load of issues, but again it is not unrealistic. Im not smart enought to know how to make it a reality, but I definitely want to see this in the future.
I’m seeing it more and more these days with non-game apps. Really its nothing new. For example, Ohm Studio is the first live interactive DAW. I mean, even Google Docs.
Hopefully the right people see this. Im sure Im not the first to think about it.
this would be AWESOME. :ba: but im afraid it would take alot of development, making this a long ways off, if at all.
suggestions:
-the 3d cursors would show projected mouse location of each client
-a line connecting to the camera of the active viewport and said 3d cursors
-one client per object being actively edited.
-shared grease pencil layers
-rendering resource shared based off of client setting (GPU2 open, Cores 2/8 open, 2GB ram reserved, etc)
-only host could control world properties?
This is a thing from the future. Imagine the possibilities. We could troll eachother in so many ways. No, seariously. We will be creating whole worlds together. What interesting times to live in.
What I am imaging here would be a completely different production model entirely. I think it would be better if we focused more on existing pipelines rather than reinventing the wheel.
And really, those production pipeline issues would need to be resolved before something like this could be realistically realized anyway.
