SB collision targets may be picked up from modifier stack
works fine with static targets having subsurf and/or array mofifiers
see-->
http://www.wund.homepage.t-online.de/hidden/Mstack.blendhttp://www.wund.homepage.t-online.de/hidden/Mstack_II.blend
however when calulating the SB object dynamics the vertices of the
'deform only' m-stack result are used
so SB <-> SB may look strange
subsuf modifier is applied to SB object after doing SB dynamics
(that is: colliding mesh is subsurfed, SB is not )
subsurfed SB cubes colliding

or may give unwanted results
subsuf and array modifier is applied to SB object after doing SB dynamics

last, modifiers that change vertex locations in time (like waves)
suffer from not beeing seen at needed time resolution
(SBs see colliders static in a frame)
well but that's beyond the limits of the current dep-graph use
and needs to be resolved on design level
anyhoo have fun

* Add WITH_BF_YAFRAY, which per default is 'true', so no visible changes for developers (and users).
Set WITH_BF_YAFRAY to 'false', and you'll save some major compile time :) Also handy if you're strapped for memory and compilation fails on yafray compilation due
to this.
- this commit also has a few whitespace changes and
- made BF_NO_ELBEEM a proper BoolOption. This will be renamed to WITH_BF_ELBEEM in the near future...
Alt-J behavior has been replaced by a port of the Tri2Quad python script
currently in CVS. This method has many advantages over the old behavior.
A simple illustration of how the new method is superior to the old can be
made by triangulating a suzzane and converting it back to quads.
http://www.umsl.edu/~gcbq44/t2q2a.jpghttp://www.umsl.edu/~gcbq44/t2q2b.jpg
The algorithm works by considering all possible triangle pairings and then
weighting them according to how appropriate it would be to join. These pairs
are then quick-sorted and those with the highest weighting factor are combined.
The function is quite fast even for dense meshes and usually involves no
noticeable wait-time for completion. For instance the following imported
model took less than 2 seconds to convert on my 1.3ghz PPC powerbook:
http://www.umsl.edu/~gcbq44/mimitri.jpghttp://www.umsl.edu/~gcbq44/mimiquad.jpg
It should be noted by the user that this method also discards face pairs
where the two triangles:
-do not share the same material
-do not share the same UV image (texface)
-do not share a compatible set of UV coordinates
-do not share a compatible set of vertex colors
-will form a concave quad or create a non-planar face
Additionally if the edge shared by the pair is marked 'sharp' the pair
will be discarded from the quicksort. In this way the user can gain great
control over the conversion process if they desire as this imported VRML
model of a sneaker illustrates:
http://www.umsl.edu/~gcbq44/t2qa.jpghttp://www.umsl.edu/~gcbq44/t2qb.jpg
For the future it would be nice if some of the options for the conversion
process, such as angle tolerance, could be made configurable in the UI.
However it is unclear at this time which options should be made configurable
and where to put them. Feedback on this is appreciated.
Special Thanks goes to Joe Eager for the two macros he contributed to this code
and to Campbell Barton for writing the script this was based on!
Duplicating a Library-linked Mesh with Library-linked texture Images forgot
to set the texture Image link flag to LIB_EXTERN (LIB_INDIRECT means the ID
is not saved in file).
Error was that a the duplicated Mesh lost texture.

Simply said: by using the average of the nearest and 2nd nearest Z value
in Shadowbuffers you can reduce bias errors very well.
For backwards compatibility it is a new buffer type though.
Full log:
http://www.blender3d.org/cms/Irregular_Shadow_Buffe.785.0.html
In short: this is a shadow buffer approach that always results in crispy
shadows, independent of lamp buffer size or zoom level. This shadow buffer
system also supports transparent shadow.
This is part of work on refreshing Shadow Buffers in Blender. You now can
choose of two types (Classical, Irregular). More types will follow. Also
quality issues for Classical shadow buffers are going to be reviewed,
especially to solve the lousy Biasing.
For the CVS log record; it is based on articles:
Gregory Johnson et al, University of Texas, Austin. (Regular grid method).
Timo Aila and Samuli Laine, Helsinki University of Technology. (BSP method).
nicer kinematics in self collision -> blending to complete inelastic impact
now does something close to real physics
first steps towards aerodynamics
anisotropic friction
springs 'see' their movement in media
--> see surrrounding media does not move and/or reacts on wind
(*for now needs to have a pseudo collider araound -> that is: add a cube in the same layer
and make it a deflector *)
- added green circle behind object node shared at verse server
- it is easier to figure out, what is shared and what isn't shared
- color is hard coded now, but Matt can improve it ;-)
* print (# servers) instead of icon row when there are servers in the list
* dark-green circle behind server icon in server list when connected
* orange when connecting
* added two files from verse-master
* server list is available in outliner (new mode "Verse Servers")
* verse sessions are now also in new mode "Verse Sessions" in outliner
* fixed drawing of verse sessions and their nodes
* in user preferences System & OpenGL master-server ip setting (default master.uni-verse.org)
* in File>Verse entry "Get Servers" to get server list or
* RMB on "Available Verse Servers" in outliner to "Refresh" server list
Enjoy :)
Third fix for this bug! In august I've added the function
Mat3ToCompatibleEul(), which ensures a proper euler value being derived
from a matrix, while inserting Ipo keys after a transform().
That also had to be done for camera fly mode.
This is a modified version of DeJaVu Sans, which is the same as the previous
Vera Sans, but with additional characters for languages (such as Czech) that
were missing from Vera. This version I'm committing has modifications to reduce
file size, cutting out useless stuff like ancient Greek characters.
also speed up for select group, only find group status for unselected objects.
Updated the select group menu in 3 places, the space bar menu was out missing some other group options also.
No other BPyModules do this and zero user lattices are kept so this check is not needed.
removed lattice.applyDeform(), this called object_apply_deform, which only gave a message to use modifiers.
changed the example in epydocs to apply the lattice using modifiers.
an error in Scene.c - scn.Layers disallowd all layer bits to be set.
made image_billboard.py rotate all images to be verticle for more efficient packing, added the option not to pack resulting images into 1.
uv_archimap still had python based line intersect
added plane2matrix function to BPyMathutils
added an optional arg to imageFromObjectsOrtho - camera_matrix
camera_matrix can be used to define a plane in 3d space where X and Y scale is used to set the width and height of the area to render.
scn.objects.new(None) - adds a new empty
- new objects are selected by default now
further stripped down the vector struct, the wrapped state was being stored and 2 places.
