Edit mode back geometry occlusion on
Render size to %100 (%25 default is confusing)
Allow negative frames disabled by default (the use cases of this are
very few for it to be on by default)
In this day and age most people have 3 button mice, so this option can now be the
exception not the rule - causes enough issues with conflicts. This commit won't
disturb existing saved configs.
Removed extra brush features that aren't applicable in some painting modes from the UI.
Would be great to have this properly cleaned up and made consistent.
Also tweak to startup blend, hiding brush tools panel.
Theme colours were getting overwritten on startup with defaults (as in 2.4
system). Changed this to allow changing the default theme, and added a
'Reset to defaults' operator in user prefs. Perhaps next step to look into the
py presets system for themes too (nice and easy to share).
If you're using a custom B.blend you may get some strange theme colours on
startup if they weren't saved properly before. 'Reset to default' button in theme
preferences should fix it back to defaults.
- disable running scripts automatically
- set sequencer image preview
- added a 3D viewport in the python script screen & selected 'Text' in the next editor.
- enable stamp rendertime by default. (stamp its self is disabled)
- set the stamp font size to 12 (was 8, too small)
also set the default font size to 12 for new scenes.
Now, there are preset brushes made for each tool type (eg. for sculpt mode, Grab,
Draw, Inflate, etc), and the recommended method for changing sculpt tools is to
change between Brushes. The shortcut keys for changing between tools have
now been changed to change between named brushes - the G key in sculpt
mode now changes to any brush named 'Grab'.
The advantages of this are:
* Changing between brushes remembers the strength/size/texture etc settings for
each brush. This means that for example, you can draw with a strong textured
Clay brush, but then switch quickly to a weaker, untextured Smooth brush,
without having to re-do your settings each time.
* You can now add your own custom shortcut keys to your own custom brushes -
just add a keymap entry similar to the existing ones, that references your own
custom brush names.
To bring over these new default brushes to an existing B.blend setup, just
append them in from the new B.blend in svn.
Render layers now use the same consistent 'unique name' function as other parts of Blender (i.e. RenderLayer.001). Updated the defaults for consistency.
Enabled 'update automatically' (lock) in image editors by default
Also enabled transform manipulators by default, unfortunately missed for alpha 0 release.
Fixes an issue with the clipping that was set back to 0.01 Made it 0.1 once again as this fixes Z buffer issues.
Put the Item panel at the top in the n-key region
Removed Properties and Quad View Screens
Cleaned up UV Editing Screen, removing Properties
Received some additional feedback on the various screens
*Added Game Logic screen, with Logic editor, text editor, outliner and 3D view
*Added Properties screen, good for having direct access to loads of properties on a second monitor
*Tweaked UV Editing screen, removing timeline, and providing access to texture mapping and texture layers
*Tweaked Compositing screen, adding image editor and 3D view camera, and providing fast access to passes.
*Reordered some panels in the N-key area
*Added n-key properties area in the sequencer.
-Continuous Grab is now on by default
-Opened scene panels by default
-Multiple new screens:
*Default (same as before)
*Animation
*Compositing
*Quad View
*Scripting
*UV Editing
*Video Editing
These have been inspired by other Open Movie artists, and their B.blends, including Nathan Vegdahl, Andy Goralczyk, and Bassam Kurdali. The new screens are designed to make optimal use of the new 2.5 UI, and expose newer areas like the compositor, new animation editors and console.
- 1st stage: Linear Workflow
This implements automatic linear workflow in Blender's renderer. With the
new Colour Management option on in the Render buttons, all inputs to the
renderer and compositor are converted to linear colour space before
rendering, and gamma corrected afterwards. In essence, this makes all
manual gamma correction with nodes, etc unnecessary, since it's done
automatically through the pipeline.
It's all explained much better in the notes/doc here, so please have a look:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Source/Blender/Architecture/Colour_Management
And an example of the sort of difference it makes:
http://mke3.net/blender/devel/rendering/b25_colormanagement_test01.jpg
This also enables Colour Management in the default B.blend, and changes the
default lamp falloff to inverse square, which is more correct, and much
easier to use now it's all gamma corrected properly.
Next step is to look into profiles/soft proofing for the compositor.
Thanks to brecht for reviewing and fixing some oversights!
Simplified and started from a clean slate, without much of
the hidden existing space data that was hanging around
in the old one.
One issue I found is that saving the startup file from
Blender 2.5 also saves the window size and location.
This means the version I just saved would open up
strangely on other screen sizes/setups. I added code to
reset this to default when loading it up from the version
compiled into the Blender binary, but perhaps Ton/
Brecht might want to check the diff.
