What's it all about:
---------------------------
In this series I'll present at least once a week new and (hopefully) useful features for all of you outside the Blender 3D development universe... all those features are brandnew and will be available in the next official Blender version 2.72.

So, if I'm correct, nothing of expected Open SubDiv implementation, yet.... I think I'll skip this version. Anyway, it seems the best news are coming from community, this time:Motion Tool mograph addon for Blender. Very very promising, at least.

[Bullit]

Yeah not OpenSubD - i must say i am not much convinced by it.

outch, thank you very much for the link Mathaeus.
I'm doing a lot of motion design stuff in softimage, so from the years i've devllopped a bunch of counpound to animate things without any keyframes. Animating proceduraly islands, clusters, i was happy with it until now!
So I see this framework, just like mine but with a 200% better workflow. this is great, very great !
I was thinking about rebuilding mine on Houdini but if blender already has it, i just don't know where to put my head now. Any though about blender in production, ranging from motuion graphics projets to VFX heavy ones ?

I like this release, I have used another pie menu addon before, glad to have it integrated - the textuer painting looks much better too.

Anyway, in the email list, I commented if ICE could do motion tools, and well I suppose it can. You said you have built your own compounds, but then they linked me to Mtools for ICE. Looked also good.

I dunno where you'd go, but eitherway, it all looks good and fun for later.
