- Removed stupid idea to insert convertor nodes in Node Shaders, when a
link is created by non-matching sockets. Now it works like Compositor,
doing a default conversion. Works like this:
1 from 3 or 4 values: take average
3 from 1: copy to all
3 from 4: copy 3
4 from 1: copy to 3, set alpha to 1
4 from 3: copy 3, set alpha to 1
- Added select-linked in Nodes. Lkey or Shift+L. Also in pulldown menus
Functionality was a bit limited still; now added the option to bind
a group of Lamps entirely to a Material, excluding them from any other
Material. Note that Lamp visibility layer options still work as for
Lamps usually.
In preview.blend: made a lightgroup for all lamps, and set them to be
the "RenderLayer override". That way it will ignore local material
lightgroups for previews.
- Bug: material emit was ignored (showed in preview render backdrop)
- Bug: world exposure was ignored
- Bug: lamp halo was ignoring 'render layer light override'.
Further reshuffled the way shadows are being pre-calculated, this to enable
more advanced (and faster) usage of Material lightgroups. Now shadows are
being cached in lamps, using a per-sample counter to check if a recalc is
needed. Will also work (later) for Raytracing node shaders.
- New: Material LightGroup option "Always", which always shades the lights
in the group, independent of visibility layer. (so it allows to move such
lights to hidden layer, not influencing anything).
edges in Editmode
This bug was due to CCGDerivedMesh (the DerivedMesh backend used to store
editmode subsurf results) not copying edge flags correctly, meaning that
they were unavailable to the EdgeSplit modifier. I have updated
CCGDerivedMesh to copy edge flags correctly.
Adds a button next to the threads button to disable texture processing
in a render. If anyone doesn't like the button feel free to revert this
one, its pretty simple.

Full log:
http://www.blender3d.org/cms/Render_Passes.829.0.html
In short:
- Passes now have option to be excluded from "Combined".
- RenderLayers allow to override Light (Lamp groups) or Material.
- RenderLayers and Passes are in Outliner now, (ab)using Matt's nice
'restriction collumns'. :)
IDP_GroupIterNext returned void* rather then IDProperty*.
Made it IDProperty*.
BTW, any people out there interested in using IDProperties
from the C side, feel free to email me comments and (especially!)
file bugreports assigned to me in the tracker. :)
Outliner: the new 'restriction' options were drawn as buttons, and created
always even when not visible. Gave big slowdowns on large data sets.
Also: help lines were drawn as shorts, should be floats
Cannot fix: button coordinates are short by default still, giant outliner
data sets draw buttons in wrong location.
Did add nice feature though; on several events the outliner now is not
being re-built anymore, but redrawn only. I want to be a bit conservative
with it though... but it happens for:
- LMB drag to select items
- pageup/down, scrollwheel, mmb scroll
- search item
- show active item
- toggle selection
Makes a good difference :)
with Ton on IRC. This feature was old, something of a hack and didn't really
work well with the modifier stack. To paraphrase Ton: We want to make blender
higher quality, so poorly thought out code should be removed, or replaced
with decent implementations.
- Unitialized variable in new shadow code caused Sun lamp shadow to not
work.
- Ipo handle bug: when the handle was vertical it flipped around
- Loop select: unitialized variable caused it to work unpredictable in
cases. Also found an unitialized var in collaps_edgeuvs().
- Crash, caused by commit of 1 hour ago to fix 'All Z' render problem
- Bug: yesterday's fix for node material renders caused some issues with
precalculating correct shadow.
- Composite Translate node: input sockets allowed multiple inputs
Now it is possible to 'protect' action channels and constraint channels.
* When a channel is 'protected', the only operation possible on keyframes
is selection. All other operations are not able to be performed.
* The padlock to the right of each channel's name toggles the protection
status of that channel. You can only alter the protection status of one
channel at a time.
Todos:
* Menus still pop up when trying to do stuff to keyframes even if
all the keyframes selected are from protected channels.
* Shapekey channels shown in action editor should also get locks
This is the last of the changes needed to support all the EditMesh data that
previously worked only with the regular Mesh, so this should fix bug #5331,
Various problems with Editmode Undo and Multi-Resolution Meshes.
- from all selected nodes
- only connections between highest order socket types; so if there's RGBA
and Value sockets, only RGBA sockets are connected. This because in
these cases the Value sockets usually are for user input.
Example: Mix node.
Thanks Trip for the hint!
- Blur nodes didn't accept RGB buffers (only RGBA or single channel ones)
- Mix node had maximum for 'mix' on 1.0, for passes edit that could become
more, made it 5!
