Patch by: Roland Hess (harkyman)
For example, a constraint can be sub-targeted at the 50% (or 31.2% or 85% etc.) point of its target bone, giving you enormous rigging flexibility and removing the need for complex contraptions to do such things as:
- A bone whose base slides only between to points on a rig (CopyLoc with a variable, animated subtarget point)
- Bones that attach to multiple points along another bone (CopyLocs, each with a different head/tail percentage)
- Bones that need to stretch to a point midway between specific spots on two other bones (old way: too crazy to mention; new way: stretch bone between points on end bones, then another stretch to the midpoint of the first stretch)
It is only used for the constraint types for which it is relevant: CopyLoc, TrackTo, StretchTo and MinMax, TrackTo, and Floor.
Notes:
- This is accessed by the Head/Tail number-slider.
- This value can be animated per constraint
- The old "Copy Bone Tail" option for the CopyLoc constraint has been automatically converted to 1.0 Head/Bone values for the affected constraints
- In the code, this value is in the bConstraint struct, so it is available for all constraints, even though only a few implement it.
====================
Dynamic binding support. This means that the mesh can move _within_
the cage and still deform correct. If the mesh goes out of the cage,
don't expect correct result. Must be enabled with the 'Dynamic'
option, because it is slower and consumes more memory.
This is useful to use e.g. the cage mesh for main deformations and
still have shape keys for facial deformation working.

bug fix, when opening blender with a file (by double clicking or from the
command line) - the initial undo state would be set to the default scene.
So holding Ctrl+Z would go back to the default .B.blend rather then the
file that the user opened.
Tree From Curve,
- report error when nurbs or poly curves are used.
- don't throw errors when >4 branch's per segment are used. also try deal with this better. though no nice solution exists.
- default speed is 10x slower then before.
Was converting into a mesh and then doing location checks, to figure out what the radius should be and then interpolating. this was the slowest part of the script and it made a mesh every time.
Now use blenders bezier interpolation function and calculate points like blender does.
fixed a driver syntax error for the Z axis (typo)
- brought back the check for a valid relative base when selecting.
- kept the check for when file is saved too and warning message is printed to console instead of popping up.
Also fixed BLI_split_filedir overwriting parameter passed as const char*
* bugfix: calling imagebrowser with relative path results in non-existing dir
* cleanup: removed unneeded BIF_filelist_appenddir function
* added check for valid relative base when activating imagebrowser (like in filebrowser)
Now, when rotating along local axes of an object/bone with a copy-rot constraint that has offset on, the results are more predicatable. However, doing so with global axes is still in CrazySpace (TM).
This commit fixes the issue by disabling access to screens via the path input field.
Note that appending screens might actually be a useful feature to implement at some point.
* made stamp filename optional
* renamed weightpaint "Filter" to "Blur"
* made the defailt weightpaint opacity 1.0 rather then 0.2 so when you select 1.0 weight you can paint it with without multiple clicks.
'Auto IK' is a great feature, however when solitary unconnected bone (without connected child bones) is grabbed it can't be moved because of IK. This can be really annoying. Preventing 'Auto IK' for solitary bones would improve user-experience by making mixing of FK and IK more convenient while using 'Auto IK'.
Patch by Teppo Kansala (teppoka).
This patch by Teppo Känsälä (teppoka) makes parenting bones with Ctrl-P support the X-Axis-Mirror option for Armatures. It will cause the mirror-bone of the selected bone to also get parented. i.e. if "bone.R" was selected and being parented, "bone.L" would also get parented.
I've made an addition to this patch, which means that if the bone that acts as the parent also has a mirror-bone (i.e. when parenting "lowerArm.L" to "upperArm.L", "lowerArm.R" gets parented to "upperArm.R"). Otherwise, they both get parented to the same parent bone (i.e. a parent bone that doesn't belong on either side such as "upperSpine")
with many points (think treetrunk), it would be nice to take into account distance on the path when doing the curve interpolation.
Also moved added undo call's that were missing for 2 of the other curve specials.
Scene.update(full=1) was pretty useless as it didn't actually evaluate the
depsgraph DAG. This meant, for example, that re-evaluating the parenting
tree for an armature pose could only be done by redrawing the view (which
evaluates the depsgraph). scene_update_for_newframe() is now called when Scene.update is in "full" mode; to prevent firing off newframe scriptlink events, scriptlinks are
temporarily disabled while scene_update_for_newframe() is being called.
Peach Request:
Now the Action and NLA editors have the "Extend" transform mode first seen in the Sequence Editor. Just use the EKEY to start transforming.
It works like Grab, except it only moves the keyframes/side of NLA-strip that was on the same side of the current-frame marker as the mouse was when transform started.
B-bones didn't work well with non-uniform scaling applied to them.
The code to solve this is not too pretty, but don't know how to do
it simpler, and at least it makes that stretchy spine work.
