@whoisryosuke GSoC doesn't only target students, they also target experienced developers that have not participated in open source yet.

The numbers and labels are just rough indications, of course it depends on the participant and their explanation in the proposal.

I wouldn't have used the term hard, it doesn't cover what the message should be. Thanks for the feedback, will forward it to the right person.

Worked on #OpenXR #Vulkan support inside #Blender3d. After a couple of days hacking it is clear how the final solution would look like.

The rendering and displaying part is working. But need external memory to give the offscreen render result to OpenXR swapchain.

Time to add support for VK_KHR_external_memory_*.

They mention the work on GPU based subdivision. Today I was able to use GPU based subdivision on both Metal and Vulkan backend. Still in development.

Made possible by the #devfund !
