- Added (BKE_utildefines.h) POINTER_TO_INT(poin) and INT_TO_POINTER(int)
defines, to help fixing issues with switch to 64 bits systems. This
assumes that a) not more than 16GB mem is used and b) that address
space is below the 1<<35 value. The latter has to be confirmed, but it
seems to conform the current 64 bits generation of OSs (for mallocs).
Needless to say; use long if you want to store pointers! This is for
temporal fixing.
- Added editmesh version for mesh-octree lookups, not used yet.
- Fix: ESC on armature posemode restored the actions, should not happen
- Fix: If in NLA an action was 0 frame long, it caused draw error
- Fix: Click on name in Action Window now activates Bones
- Fix: "Snap to" options in Armature editmode now use X-axis mirror edit.
- Set the button in Paint Panel, Edit buttons context
- It assumes the mesh to be near-perfectly mirrored. Current threshold is
set to 0.0001 (maximum difference allowed).
In order to evaluate proper mirroring, a new option will be added in
Mesh editmode later.
- When the flipped group doesn't exist yet, it creates the group
- Of course this doesn't work for mirror modifier!
New: Select/activate flipped bone or vertex group
- Press SHIFT+F in PoseMode or WeightPaint mode to get the flipped bone.
Is especially to see while painting if the mirror copying works OK.
New: "Apply Envelope to VertexGroup" uses X-mirror option too.
Todo; check on mirror vertex painting, and mirror Mesh editmode....
The implementation is based on a 8x8x8 Octree, where vertex locations are
stored. Vertices on the threshold boundary of an Octree node are filled in
the neighbour nodes as well, ensuring that the lookup works with threshold.
The current size of the Octree gives good speedup, even for 128k vertices
it only needs 256 lookup cycles per checked vertex.
Same code could be used for the bevel tool for example.
src/meshtools.c:
int mesh_octree_table(Object *ob, float *co, char mode)
- mode 's' or 'e' is "start octree" or "end octree"
- mode 'u' is "use", it then returns an index nr of the found vertex.
(return -1 if not found)
-symtom: looks like rigged SB mesh follows weird goal settings
-cause: arbitary initialisation of 'edge spring rest length' ... must have happend by introducing 'modifyer stacK'
The rotation of the parent of the root in an IK chain was included
in the segment's basis, leading to the DoF / rotation limits to be
computed on the wrong basis.
to finetune deform further as well.
Note that curve deform requires object buttons 'track' and 'up' axes set
properly. Curve deform can twist/flip a lot, making Vertex Group based
deform hard to set up.
The "Use VGroup" or "Use Envelope" options now are in Modifier Panel
for Armature deform.
If Modifiers are in use, they override the Armature settings for it.
(Cannot get rid of the Armature panel options yet, since Blender still
allows parenting to be deforming too, which is displayed as a Virtual
modifier now)
This now allows to - for example - make a Envelope deform on a Lattice,
and have same Armature use vertexgroups on Mesh.
Next; vertexgroup option for Lattice & Curve deform
is a modifier only (Armature not parented to Mesh).
Note; if multiple Modifier/Armatures work, it uses only the first still.
- Armature option 'draw axes' now scales axes to 0.25 of bone length.
windows. If set (in View pulldown), it synchronizes the horizontal scale of
the current window with the other Windows with this option set. That way
you always have these windows showing an identical part of the time you
work on.
Also added because Action Window now displays its content relative to
NLA strips.
functionality for the UV editor:
* A "Select->Pinned UVs" command (Shift P) that
selects all the visible pinned UVs
* A "Select->Border Select Pinned" tool (Shift B) that
works just like the normal border select tool, but only acts on pinned UVs
This is really useful when using LSCM, I only want to
touch the pinned UVs and then recalculate.

This tool allows to insert gaps/seams in a Mesh, based on the selection
(1 vertex or a row of edges) and the position of the mouse (to indicate
the part that gets grabbed). Shortcut: Vkey.
Special Orange request!
- new methods from NMesh (transform, getFromObject, findEdges)
- new methods for deleting groups of verts, edges and faces
- new methods for accessing mesh editing tools: fill, flipNormals,
recalcNormals, remDoubles, smooth, subdivide, toSphere
- Added PVertType to Types module (not my favorite name; any suggestions?)
- added redraw of Oops/Outliner on selecting in Databrowse
- Ipo Record in ipo window had copy paste error, causing in potential mem
errors
- Ipo Record now creates a new Ipo again
Fixed bugreport on crashing vertex duplicators in editmode. Apparently it
was not coded with new mesh/modifier support. And now it does, quite fun!
One day picture for quick people:

Daniel; could you check the commit diff below?
Materials; using "Stencil" option, didn't work properly for multiply, and
other related filters. This is a very old issue, but now I found the good
way to fix it! :)
it and reload. I could fix the crash quickly, but it still gives not freed
memory errors.
More important; this code is VERY BAD! Not sure who added all this *goto*
stuff, but it's not acceptable code that way... (kernel, font.c)
The hacks in editfont.c are very bad too. I really hope Alexander and/or
Mika will clean up before we officially release!
- Discombobulator by Evan R and DirectX8 Exporter by Ben Omari.
BPython:
- Crashed Blender while testing discombobulator: obj.setMaterials() was not checking if the passed obj had valid obj->data. If the object had been created and not linked yet to a mesh, a crash would happen when trying to sync ob and me material lists. Now an error is returned. Also made obj.setMaterials accept an empty list, since obj.getMaterials can return that.
Thanks to the script authors for the updated versions and special thanks to Tom (LetterRip) for collecting info about updated and new scripts, sending me updates I had missed, etc.
A large chunk of documentation goodness from Campbell Barton (ideasman).
Thanks!
Note that any mispellings, errors, or inconsistencies are due to
my ham-fisted editing.
- test build alpha splash
- version update to 239 in code
- release names are 2.40-alpha1
Note about release names; this is really an alpha still, not a release
candidate, so cannot call it 2.40-pre either.
Naming conventions is a discussion still... hope this works as a compromise
for now.
- implemented slice operations (get/set) for vertex list; allows script
writers to manipulate lists of vertices (using 'thick' vertices)
- fixed problem in mesh.faces.extend() which allowed the creation of
"Eeekadoodle" faces
- added mesh.update() method; (possibly) temporary fix to allow updating DAG
- updating some bundled scripts, thanks to authors Jean-Michel Soler, Campbell Barton and Anthony D'Agostino.
BPython:
- removing wrong fix from BGL.c's glDrawPixels.
note: applied guitargeek's setName patch to Blender.Key, but saw that he updated it with more functionality and assigned to stivs, so I won't commit this old version.
