Also put a bit more logic for guessing player paths based on my system.
If anyone can make this a bit more clever/bulletproof, please feel free to
get involved in it, it's all python!
On ubuntu/debian install these tools...
sudo apt-get install pylint pyflakes python-setuptools python-pip
sudo pip install pep8
then run from blenders source dir...
python release/test/pep8.py
This searches for the comments "# <pep8 compliant>" and "# <pep8-80 compliant>", running the checking tools on these scripts only.
* some minor pep8 corrections too.
customisable player.
You can choose a player in User Preferences -> File Paths. You can
choose a plan custom command line, otherwise there are presets available
for the Blender 2.4 player or DJV (where it will give it the correct filename,
fps, etc on the command line). So for example if you have a Blender 2.4
version installed, you can enter the path to the blender 2.4 executable,
and the playback will work just like before.
Any info on other frame players (FrameCycler? pdplayer?) and their
command line settings could be useful for adding some more presets too,
if anyone knows of them.
It's available in Render->Play Rendered Animation (Ctrl F11)
- retopo operator to convert grease pencil drawn topology into geometry, not in the convert menu yet since its not quite finished, use the operator search menu for retopo. will test this week and see what needs fixing.
This is used to force snap on and off when needed.
Also, when transform is not run modal, it will use default values for PET and snap properties (False) instead of scene settings. No need to force them off when calling transform with Exec.
- for adding an operator, start with a blank name and dont write the default one. (still writes each name you type in, will need to fix this properly)
- move the AddPresetBase class into presets.py since all the presets are defined there.
however this meant the invoke function could not modify properties for exec to use (unless it called exec directly after)
since the popup for eg would re-instance the python class each time.
now use the operator properties directly through rna without an automatic copy.
now an operator attribute is accessed like this...
self.path --> self.properties.path
- python defined classes will be used when available (otherwise automaically generated metaclasses are made as before)
- use properties rather then functions for python defined rna class's
- call the classes getattr AFTER doing an RNA lookup, avoids setting and clearing exceptions for most attribute lookups, tested UI scripts are ~25% faster.
- extending rna py classes this way is a nicer alternative to modifying the generated metaclasses in place.
Example class
--- snip
class Object(bpy.types.ID):
def _get_children(self):
return [child for child in bpy.data.objects if child.parent == self]
children = property(_get_children)
--- snip
The C initialization function looks in bpy_types.py for classes matching RNA structure names, using them when available.
This means all objects in python will be instances of these classes.
Python properties/funcs defined in ID py class will also be available for subclasses for eg. (Group Mesh etc)
- separated python console from the interactive console
- added shell console type (simple example)
- console types are autodetected and can be selected in the menu
