original name: "Allow to change the strenght of the "go behind" constraint of the camera actuator"
The camera actuator is an actuator that drive the camera to follow an object, with a set of constraint.
Currently, when the object followed rotate on himself (like a person, or an helicopter), the camera is really slow to go behind (at least 10 seconds).
This patch gives the UI to tweak the strenght of the 'go behind'[named damping] constraint.

epydocs (rst) updated too
By popular demand, the "Transformation Channel" driver variable type
now has a "local space" transform space option which uses the same
magic that constraints use for defining local-space. This is what many
bug reporters and feature requesters have moaned about for a while
now, so after reviewing several of the bug reports which lead to the
current situation, here is what has been much-wanted for so long!
In order to implement this, I've:
- renamed the old "Local Space" option here to "Transformation Space",
in order to prevent old rigs breaking. This has also been kept, as it
is useful for #21384 (though perhaps with this new option it isn't
needed anymore)
- reviewed my fix for #20870 (IIRC, a Durian-era bug), which related
to the non-uniqueness of matrix->euler decomposition
This fix also allows for partial update of the image, speeding up painting.
The different code path implemented will be used to upload high resolution images to OpenGL when onion branch is merged.
Due to conversion of float textures to/from sRGB, corrections made to brush color sampling to take account of the image profile. This is not 100% correct yet as texture images used for projection painting strokes are not converted to/from sRGB yet(This has been decided due to loss of precision for 8-bit formats). It will have to do for now, though.
last-minute update, exr image loading is broken, will fix asap
=======================
Added option to baked named "Bake From Multires" which is avaliable for
normals baking and displacement baking.
If this option is enabled, then no additional hi-res meshes and render
structures would be created . This saves plenty of memory and meshes
with millions of faces could be successfully baked in few minutes.
Baking happens from highest level against viewport subdivision level,
so workflow is following:
- Set viewport level to level at which texture would be applied
during final rendering.
- Choose Displacement/Normals baking.
- Enable "Bake From Multires" option.
- You're ready to bake.
Displacement baker had aditional option named "Low Resolution Mesh".
This option is used to set if you want texture for realtime (games)
usage.
Internally it does the following:
- If it's disabled, displacement is calculated from subdivided
viewport level, so texture looks "smooth" (it's how default
baked works).
- If it's enabled, dispalcement is calculated against unsubdivided
viewport levels. This leads to "scales". This isn;t useful for
offline renders much, but very useful for creating game textures.
Special thanks to Morten Mikkelsen (aka sparky) for all mathematics
and other work he've done fr this patch!
- fix: user pref, window title was reset to 'Blender' on tab usage
- Undo history menu back:
- name "Undo History"
- hotkey alt+ctrl+z (alt+apple+z for mac)
- works like 2.4x, only for global undo, editmode and particle edit.
- Menu scroll
- for small windows or screens, popup menus now allow to display
all items, using internal scrolling
- works with a timer, scrolling 10 items per second when mouse
is over the top or bottom arrow
- if menu is too big to display, it now draws to top or bottom,
based on largest available space.
- also works for hotkey driven pop up menus.
- User pref "DPI" follows widget/layout size
- widgets & headers now become bigger and smaller, to match
'dpi' font sizes. Works well to match UI to monitor size.
- note that icons can get fuzzy, we need better mipmaps for it
Following on from my commit to introduce frame ranges for FModifiers,
those frame ranges can now have blend in/out values. By setting a
blendin or blendout value, you're specifying the number of frames for
the modifier's "full influence" to take effect or fade out relative to
the start/end frames.
The "full influence" above needs a little clarification.
When the "use influence" setting is enabled, "full influence" is taken
from the "influence" slider (a new setting). Otherwise, it uses 1.0
(i.e. unmodified influence, same as old behaviour before the
introduction of influence controls). The influence slider basically
says how much the modifier's effects are allowed to contribute to the
final result.
---
Notes:
- This opt-in "Use Influence" approach is really forced upon us
because there are heaps of old files for which we cannot easily
version patch without spending some effort going through all the data
in the file, hunting out the F-Modifiers.
- interpf() seems to use a backwards order compared to everything else
Due to overwhelming support from animators, Actions are no longer
created with fake users by default. If you're mainly creating action
libraries (the primary use case and argument for having this, mostly
used for creating a set of motions for games or perhaps to use in
NLA), you're really in the minority here.
For the most part, fake users just lead to heaps of "dangling" actions
in files which newbies (and even experienced users) may often be
unaware of. Since Fake Users are really more of an "opt-in" system
everywhere else (i.e. when creating Material Libraries), the same
should applied for Actions and creating Action Libraries.
Using this feature, it is now possible to for example have different
noise-profiles for different parts of a curve, which makes it possible
to do animate camera shake for example.
Or perhaps, for having greater control of mixing and matching
different parts of F-Modifier effects, such as combining several
generator modifiers to get multi-case functions for instance.
See http://aligorith.blogspot.com/2011/06/gsoc11-fmodifier-range-
masks.html for details.
- moved do_history into WM_write_file after successful write of .blend@ temporary file
- Added new file flag, to avoid writing history on writing the startup.blend, autosave files and undo.
Thanks Campbell, Brecht for review!
Face's totdisp was set to correct value, but memory hasn't been
allocated for disps. Handle this in multires_topology_changed(),
so the whole MDISPS layer wouldn't be totally re-allocated when
applying displacement.
blender_add_lib now takes a separate include argument to suppress warnings in system includes (mostly ffmpeg & python).
also only build wm_apple.c on apple+carbon configuration.
Do not indent if there's any non-space character after colon.
This only makes life a bit easier, but it's still not 100% correct indentation
strategy. For example when colon is inside non-closed string or so.
Also there's not indentation for { and un-indentation for }.
Handling such cases would require much smarter strategy..
This was caused because a small part of sculpt's radial control code did not make it into the new version. The old code would set a new object-space size by scaling it proportional to how much the new screen-space size was changed.
The solution I implement here is to do the same scaling inside the RNA callbacks. This way, users of those properties do not have to worry about inconsistency.
I added a comment warning that brush_set_size, brush_set_unified_size, brush_unprojected_radius, and brush_set_unprojected_radius do not guarantee consistency because it is not always possible to precisely know what the new unprojected radius is in all contexts where you might set the size.
I would implement the consistency check at the lower level (in those listed functions) but at this time I think it needs to be looked at to make sure that won't cause problems. In addition, I am not sure that scaling by the ratio of change is strictly correct in all cases.
In any case, this at least fixes the immediate problem.
Added central compatibility header file, which enables blender to compile
against very old ffmpeg versions as well as very new versions using the
*NEW* API. (Old API functions are simulated using macros and inline functions)
Added a whole lot of additional checks, tested against 6 different versions
down the timeline, hopefully, now finally all is well.
Added some API compatibility code again, since some API-changes weren't even documented
(they even didn't do a proper version-bump, arghh!)
If it breaks again, please tell!
* removed a lot of old cruft code for ancient ffmpeg versions
* made it compile again against latest ffmpeg / libav GIT
(also shouldn't break distro ffmpegs, since those API changes
have been introduced over a year ago. If it nevertheless breaks,
please send me an email)
few cases, especially if the object and target are at the same
location when the constraint is created.
This manisfested as the constrained object disappearing when the
constraint was added, only reappearing after transforming it a bit.
The Limit Distance Constraint now has a "For Transform" option just
like all the other Limit constraints. This option controls whether the
constraint gets applied to interactive transforms in the 3D View too,
preventing controllers from getting large values without the animator
knowing.
Additional code changes:
* Split code to get constraint targets and grab their matrices for
solving out to a separate helper function:
get_constraint_targets_for_solving()
* Fixed a bug where "found constraint ...." prints would appear in the
console. Looks like some warning print that was forgotten
TODO:
* While coding this, I noticed potential division by zero bugs with
the Limit Distance constraint. Looking into these after this commit.
