- multires cache files and image .tex cache support in dependency list
- Compare md5 of files before using a local copy (not one transfered by netrender). Could be changed to a simpler CRC if speed is an issue. The goal is not to have a strong crypto signature but just to detect outdated local files.
- Reduce slave timeout to 5 minutes (down from 30). Slaves should report at most every 30s, there's no reason for a value to be that high.
- Reorder the presentation tables on the main web page (job list is more important)
- Collapse dependency list by default on job page (only show main file and headers for other files, point cache and fluid cache)
- Slave option (default: True) to also output render log to the console (as well as the usual copy to the master)
* Client connection is made from panel poll functions even if
netrender is disabled
* Network render slave should print when it has connected to server,
now it says "node initiation", I initially thought this meant it was
not connected yet.
* Web interface should auto-refresh, I got confused if job and slaves
were actually found or not.
Campbell's changes to make this use fnmatch by default had the case-sensitivity setting inverted. This meant that convenient searches in lowercase were no longer possible by default.
* Removed some un-needed armature code stubs
* Manually copying over the values of constraints in the constraint copy() callbacks should NOT be needed. Removed this from the Spline IK constraint. The manual process is only a hacky aspect of the modifier stack only!
- IPO-blocks for curves were not getting handled correctly (i.e. no conversion and relinking was taking place) when converting from 2.4x to 2.5
- Old 'speed' IPO's now have their values multiplied by the path length when they are loaded from old 2.4x files so that they work correctly in 2.5.
Also...
- Cleaned up a few instances of scruffy code formatted in some weird ad-hoc way.
- Debug prints for the start/end of the file conversion process are now all hidden behind debug-only checks. Unless the way the conversions are done is significantly changed at some point, this should be sufficient...
- return euler rotation values from rna now have correct rotation order.
- mathutils.Euler stored rotation order off by 1. (didnt work at all)
- Euler/Quat/Color sliceing working again.
- mathutils.Color.hsv attribute. eg. material.diffuse_color.hsv = 0.2, 0.8, 0.4
- Vector/Euler/Quaternion/Color now only take a single seq arg.
- internal function for parsing arrays. (cleanup messy internal list/vector/tuple/seq parsing)
- didnt update rigify yet.
This adds MULTICAM-editing support for blender. (Well, the beginning of.)
There is now a new effect track, named MULTICAM, which just selects
one of the lower tracks.
Doesn't sound that exciting, but if you combine this with A/B-Trim (moving
split points of two directly connected tracks around, while magically
resizing both strips, something to be added), you just do:
* add several tracks for your camera angles
* (optionally) sync those tracks
* add one multicam track on top
Use that multicam-track to edit your movie. (Either using fcurves on the
multicam source selector or using knife-tool and A/B-Trim.)
Compare that to:
* add several tracks
* add cross fades between them
* do some python scripting to add several fcurves to make that beast
somewhat work.
* cry out loud, using it, if you have to move cut points around
Alternatively, even harder:
* just edit the old way and put strip after strip
You might think, that this isn't really helpfull for animators, but
consider using scene-strips (in OpenGL-mode) for input, that are set for
different camera angles and can now be intercut a lot more easily...
Also: small fix on the way: the speed effect can now be used in cascade.
(Don't know, if anyone used it that way, but now it works.)
eg. character.blend -> anim.blend -> comp.blend
... Would link the character.blend directly into comp.blend because on driver ID's.
In this case id_lib_extern doenst need to be called because the object its linked from is a library.
