Really interesting and entertaining podcast. Thanks!
I'll be in Annecy also, so it would be nice to catch up maybe to just say hello or something. You have a booth, so you are most likely attending MIFA, which is the marketplace where makers and investors meet. And that's great place to show the Agent and perhaps get more money to make it. I have the plain "Animation fan" accreditation, so I'm just there to see the greates animated films.
@Hjalti and others: have you seen the spanish movie Mortadelo y Filemón contra Jimmy el Cachondo? I think you really should see it related to Agent 327. It's really fun and takes the slapstick to a great extremes. The animation is very good too.

Oh thank you guys!, I noticed that somehow I was getting visits from here ! <3
Yes don't implement the whole node wrangler, just implement some of the most useful features, like the previewing because that makes working sooooo much faster, and maybe the creation of the needed mapping & coordinate nodes for the textures whenever you create a texture node.
Annecy!, YEEESSSS it's gonna be great guys!, you haven't been there!!!?, damn!
Yeah I always confuse victor with vincent they are so much alike and they are also called almost the same.
And thanks for listening, It'll be great to get your take on creating rigs on a rush and also getting away with cheating, which is what we do 99% of the time anyways.
Cheers and I'll hear you again next week!
Given the great addition of the cycles-material-viewport-bump, can we get our "center view on last stroke" for all paint modes now? :D It will make blender texture painting sooo much more fun and straightforward. Also: Following the Agent process is really fun! Great work and great podcast!
maybe "Blender, the freedom to create" for the t-shirts? Knock 'em dead at the Aneccy.
