New current_orientation property that returns the current transform orientation data (if any)
New UI elements to rename and remove custom orientation (visible only when needed)
* Enums with an _itemf callback now never get context NULL passed in,
rather a fixed list of enum items are defined which should contain
all items (if possible), from which the _itemf callback can then use
a subset.
This commit implements more of the CopyPose capabilities in
Blender. It is now possible to select which axis will be
constrained in position and orientation to obtain
interesting effects. Another option selects if the axis
are relative to the end effector or to the target.
Unlocking a position axis means that the coordinate along
this axis is not constrained and can take any value.
Unlocking the Y axis of the End Effector produces an
'aiming' effect: the end effector is oriented towards
the target but without stretching.
Unlocking a rotation axis means that the end effector can
freely rotation along that axis. Unlocking the Y axis
produces a 'tangent' effect: the end effector aligns with
the Y axis of the target but can rotate along that axis.
A 'floor' effect is possible if the position Z axis of the
target is unlocked. More effects are possible an can be
combined.
it would show you the last selected shape key until doing
another operation. This is confusing, and the Pin button allows
you to do the same kind of shape browsing.
* Converted Drivers UI to mostly use the Layout Engine
* All the buttons that perform actions are not operators yet (the code for that would be quite icky still)
* I've added some (commented out) calls for the property definitions of Driver properties to perform Depsgraph updates. I've left these commented out until we have the option to turn off auto-updates, since with driver editing, that could be very dangerous.
* Drivers can now (in theory) use any ID-block, using the Any-ID template added earlier. However, be warned that the stupid depsgraph won't be able to cope with most of these cases.
TODO:
- more fancy widgets for RNA-Path and Index will come later
* Summary channel now works in DopeSheet AND Action Editors
* By clicking on the expand/collapse widget on the summary channel, you can now show/hide all the other channels in the editor.
Added new template for choosing to use any type of ID-block. The first combo box allows you to choose the type of ID-block that gets used, and the second box allows you to choose the ID-block of the type specified by the first one.
This is currently used for setting the ID-block used for Keying Sets, but the main user for this was intended to be the Drivers UI. However, I still need to clear up a few button-event issues there before I can port this over.
Additional Bugfixes:
* Adding new Keying Set path was setting the active path wrong, meaning that you had to click on the list to get some response after adding
* Bone Groups list was being drawn too long by default (when empty)
- Shift+F2 was Export DXF, made Logic Editor
- Shift+F4 was data browser, made console
- Shift+F11 was fullscreen in 2.5, changed fullscreen to Alt+F11
added Area.type so RNA can switch the type.
wm.context_set(path="scene.tool_settings.someattr", somevalue)
wm.context_toggle(path="scene.tool_settings.somebool")
wm.context_toggle_values(path="scene.tool_settings.some_enum", value_1="somevalue", value_2="othervalue") # switch between 2 values
wm.context_cycle_enum(path="scene.tool_settings.some_enum", reverse=False)
the path value is taken from the context so the full path is
context.scene.tool_settings...
This means in keymaps you can cycle draw modes, change PET- anything with rna access.
If its not so nice to map keys to operators like wm.context_set we could use macro's to wrap it and have its own name
Use this for PET and setting pivot options
- Made userpref key shortcut Ctrl+Alt+U since its not used in 2.4x
- added pivot_point_align (Alt+Comma)
- added PET wasnt rna wrapped correctly.
I noticed that armature drawing seemed to be using the wrong colours for ghosting in some situations (in particular, Cessen's biped rig for 2.5). Commented out what appears to be the offending code for now.
Not totally sure why this broke yet, but as possible bonus of this, we sometimes get coloured ghosted controls (if bone groups were in use).
The filtering buttons for datatypes will now only be shown if there is data of that type present in the current file. They will still be shown in the same order, but by hiding the ones that won't be of any relevance, the presentation of the views should be cleaner (I hope ;)
Added a summary channel that appears as the first channel in the DopeSheet. For now, this is disabled by default, but can be enabled using the 'Summary' toggle in the header between the mode selector and the standard filtering options. This has been done, since there is a possibility that it will make the DopeSheet run a bit slower.
In this channel you can do everything that you can normally do with DopeSheet channels (i.e. select, transform, edit, etc). It might be worth noting though that care probably needs to be taken when trying to use Copy/Paste, since that is still a bit fidgety...
In the process, I've fixed a few bugs, mostly with selection:
- Selecting keyframes in scene summaries wouldn't work
- Border select only worked in F-Curve and Group channels
* Reverting some changes I made to try and get Action Groups with no viewable F-Curves, but were collapsed to get hidden. These were causing buggy behaviour
* Move bones to armature layers, and change armature layer operators now use the new automatic properties drawing invoke callback. This allows changing the buttons there immediately affect the bones in the viewport
* #19581: Text Editor: "Jump To" (go to line) not working
Made this use the automatic operator props invoke callback, and fixed an RNA properties bug for this (the default value and range values were swapped).
* PoseLib rename pose operator now works again. Once again, this uses the auto-props popup. Also, improved the code here while I was at it.
* Disabled non-functional/old entry in Select Linked operator ("IPO's")
This is similar to the old retopo all option but uses the snapping code and not the openGL depth buffer (it's thus more precise).
Not sure if making it available as a snap option is sensible, this is up for discussion.
NOTE: it will get slow fast on large meshes, we need to plug in an acceleration structure into snapping.
This will need an icon too.
Since the deep shadow buffer summer of code project is not actively under
development anymore, I decided to build my own DSM implementation from
scratch, based on reusing as much existing shadow buffer code as possible.
It's not very advanced, but implements the basic algorithm. Just enough so
we can do shading tests with it, optimizations and other improvements can
be done later.
Supported:
* Classical shadow buffer options: filter, soft, bias, ..
* Multiple sample buffers, merged into one.
* Halfway trick to support lower bias.
* Compression with user defined threshold.
* Non-textured alpha transparency, using Casting Alpha value.
* Strand render.
Not Supported:
* Tiling disk cache, so can use a lot of memory.
* Per part rendering for lower memory usage during creation.
* Colored shadow.
* Textured color/alpha shadow.
* Mipmaps for faster filtering.
* Volume shadows.
Usage Hints:
* Use sample buffers + smaller size rather than large size.
* For example 512 size x 9 sample buffers instead of 2048 x 1.
* Compression threshold 0.05 works, but is on the conservative side.
eg.
for v in me.verts: print(v.index)
added calc_edges as an option eg.
mesh.update(calc_edges=True)
This is needed when adding faces to an existing mesh which create new edges.
