- script execution is off by default
- if a blend file attempts to execute a script
this shows a message in the header with the action
that was suppressed (script/driver/game-autostart) and 2 buttons to either reload the file trusted, or to ignore the message.
- the file selector will always default to use the trust setting in the user preferences,
but reloading an open file will keep using the current setting (whatever was set before or set on the command-line).
- added SCons setting WITH_BF_PYTHON_SECURITY, this sets the default state for the user prefereces not to trust blend files on load.
... this option was in CMake before, but always off, now its enabled by default for SCons and CMake, and forced on in CMake for now.
* CHARTAB: not needed anymore with improved copy/paste support and text input.
* IDPOIN: replaced by SEARCH_MENU.
* ICONROW/ICONTEXTROW: replaced by RNA enums.
* NUMABS: can use min/max limits instead.
* BUT_TOGDUAL, TOG3, TOGR, SLI: not used in 2.5 interface.
* RNA's editor types enum (space_type_items) has been re-ordered, added icons, and removed internal-only SPACE_EMPTY value, so that it matches the menu.
* Two fixes in code drawing enums as dropdown menu:
** All items were taken into account when computing the number of needed columns, now simple separators (void string items) are ignored.
** Simple separators items were drawn as labels, taking far too much space!
And now translators will be free from that ugly, insane menu-string! :P
Thanks to Brecht for the review.
tracks
As a convenience feature for those who are loading in action libraries and using
these to quickly block out things in the NLA editor, it is now possible to add
strips to AnimData blocks without first manually creating empty tracks to add
these strips to. Simply ensure that such empty AnimData blocks are selected
(Hint: click on the action line of the affected AnimData block to do so), and
try to add a strip normally.
offsets too (like for location)
This is useful in some cases when Copy Rotation constraints would otherwise be
used for this purpose but cannot be used for various reasons. Basically, this
works in practically the same way that the Copy Rotation offsets work, including
the same weirdness that you'll get when trying to manually rotate these in the
3D viewport using "global" space manipulations ("local/normal" spaces though
still seem to work really nicely).
WARNING: this may potentially break old files with transform constraint setups
involving rotation outputs. Please check whether this causes any problems on old
files, and report back if there are any issues.
When you convert a grease pencil stroke to a polygon curve and look at the
vertices, the first and last vertex have weight = 0, but all others have a -NaN
value. This was caused by division by zero issues when minmax_weights[0] ==
minmax_weights[1].
that is that RNA does not support multiple inheritance so the actual node group subtypes (ShaderNodeGroup, CompositorNodeGroup, TextureNodeGroup) can not be derived from both the
ShaderNode/CompositorNode/TextureNode base types as well as a common NodeGroup type ... It is possible however to define node group types entirely in python which avoids the limitations of the RNA system
and is much more flexible, example for this will follow later.
* VERTEX_WEIGHT modifiers had quite a messy UI, improved the grouping of options a bit, so it is easier to scan through.
* Do not use abbreviations like "Rem" or "Dist" in the UI...
* Also small change for BEVEL modifier UI for more efficient space usage.
multiple importance sampling, so you can disable them for diffuse/glossy/transmission.
The Light Path node here is still weak and does not give this info. To make that
work we'd need to evaluate the shader multiple times which is slow and we can't
detect well enough when it is actually needed.
instead of sobol. So far one doesn't seem to be consistently better or worse than
the other for the same number of samples but more testing is needed.
The random number generator itself is slower than sobol for most number of samples,
except 16, 64, 256, .. because they can be computed faster. This can probably be
optimized, but we can do that when/if this actually turns out to be useful.
Paper this implementation is based on:
http://graphics.pixar.com/library/MultiJitteredSampling/
Also includes some refactoring of RNG code, fixing a Sobol correlation issue with
the first BSDF and < 16 samples, skipping some unneeded RNG calls and using a
simpler unit square to unit disk function.
