Addons are checked for their timestamps and reloaded when it changes but this failed when, 2 addons had the same name since different times caused 2 reloads on every redraw.
Now when duplicate addons are in the path now give a error message in the UI and print path conflict in the console and don't thrash reloading.
Weight Paint Vertex Select tweaked to act like edit mode's select and Circle select was added, but clipping is not working properly for either.
Select all was added too, but to the Q key until I look into overriding A's select all bones.
The select vertices checkbox was moved to the header, but it does not force face select mask to turn off yet--and it doesn't have the correct icon.
There will definitely be an update tomorrow to fix the problems with all or most of the issues.
this will reconnect nodes as if the deleted node is muted.
Operation is added to the space_node node menu and to the keymap as CTRL-X
to test this just add some nodes to the space_node
select one or multiple nodes and press CTRL-X
It should reconnect the nodes as they were muted
limitations:
1. it performs a delete and reconnect per node. It does not evaluate all selected nodes as one whole
2. mute only supports Value, Vector and Color data types, so does this feature
3. not usable for nodes where input and output does not match (like colorToBW)
Where reconnect could not be preformed the links will be removed from the model.
Undo works with this delete with reconnect.
A mesh can consist out of multiple material. Take a character with clothing's. the skin can be a different material as the different clothing's. During compositing it is a common use-case to only do a part of the composit on only a specific material. Currently this can not be done.
In blender movies this feature is known to be implemented, but until now it never got integrated into trunk.
Proposal
With material index the Blender internal renderer will be capable of creating a buffer containing the material indexes of the first pixel-hit. This will be implemented in the same manner as the object index.
In the compositor the ID Mask node can be used to extract the information out of the Render pass.
Impact
User interface
On the properties-space the next changes will be done
Scene⇒Render layer⇒Passes⇒Material index will be added
Material⇒Options⇒Pass index will be added
DNA
Material struct will get an new field called “index”. this will be a short-type.
Material struct the field pad will be removed.
A new Render-layer pass will be added (bit 1«18)
RNA
Material RNA is updated (based on “pass index” from object)
Render layer RNA is updated (based on IndexOB)
Blender internal renderer
The Blender internal renderer will process the render pass as a copy of the Object index.
Blender compositor
The render layer input will get a new output socket called “IndexMA”
Usage
An example on how to use material index can be found at:
https://svn.blender.org/svnroot/bf-blender/trunk/lib/tests/compositing/composite_materialindex.blend
This is also example of a commit message longer than the commit itself :)
modified auto-completion, though this may need to become a preference.
The problem is:
- including _all_ text as a prefix can take a lot of space, and isnt too readable.
- including only the previous word is error prone because detecting delimiters can fail when editing strings.
so I've set it to only include the last part of the string but align to the cursor to make it more readable.
(No conflicts had to be manually resolved)
Gave weight paint a basic ability to draw edges and vertices with an option
(with colors for selected/unselected),
but I didn't make any vertex selection functions available in weight paint mode yet
(tested with edit mode for now).
Toggling options on the selection is better done as a generic operator.
Replace ARMATURE_OT_flags_set and POSE_OT_flags_set with WM_OT_context_collection_boolean_set and use menus to access it with specific settings.
This way its easy make a key shortcut which toggles any boolean on any collection - sequences, metaballs, objects, bones etc.
- comment/remove assignments from values to themselves.
- add case break statements (no functional change but some source code checkers notice).
- fix python errors when the sculpt brush is None.
In addition the billboards can be scaled by the particle velocity with optional head and tail factors (similar to line drawing options). This allows for pseudo-motionblur effects.
- add support for IDProp array slicing, but not resizing.
- rename array attribute type to typecode and use chars 'f', 'd', 'i' which match pythons array module. (was using int's which only have a meaning internally).
- rename function 'convert_to_pyobject' to 'to_dict' and 'to_list' for IDProp group and array types respectively.
- remove 'len' array attribute, calling len(array) is fine.
