* Patch [#33073] Remove Extra Menu Level from Object Parent and Track
* Did not commit the icon changes here, separator line should be sufficient.
Patch by Harley Acheson, thanks!
* Add 3 more operators to the Node menu.
node.join [join selected nodes in a new frame]
node.detach [remove selected nodes from their frame]
node.links_detach [remove all links to selected nodes and try to reconnect neighboring nodes together]
Patch by Philipp Oeser, thanks!
* Shader script node added, which stores either a link to a text datablock or
file on disk, and has functions to add and remove sockets.
* Callback RenderEngine.update_script_node(self, node) added for render engines
to compile the shader and update the node with new sockets.
Thanks to Thomas, Lukas and Dalai for the implementation.
Our current intl build for windows is quite old (don't know the exact version), and does not have the new setlocale overwrite. Problem is, new windows dll have no more the gettext_putenv helper, which is currently mandatory to make it work for this OS.
So back for now to the ugly long_locales for win. Best fix is probably to build our own static version of libl, but this is not trivial and will require some time. :/
PS: I had a look over i18n/translation in wxWidget, Qt and boost: all implement their own system, even though wxWidget and boost use po/mo files...
- Rename 'mesh.select_nth' operator menu item 'Every N Number of Verts' to 'Checker Deselect',
since its not just de-selecting verts (works on edges and faces too) and the term 'checker' gives a better description of the result.
- Rename 'mesh.select_by_number_vertices' to 'mesh.select_face_by_sides', since this is a face selection tool, which wasnt obvious from its name.
also remove dissolve by type menu since the option has been removed from the operator and was giving an error.
the big layers panel in three, and fixing Freestyle's panels poll function to hide
them when Freestyle is disabled.
Patch contribution by Bastien Montagne, thanks!
This commit makes a set of fixes and improvements based on the results of
Freestyle branch review by Brecht. The discussion thread is:
http://lists.blender.org/pipermail/bf-committers/2012-October/037927.html
* The Layers panel and Freestyle-related panels in the Render tab of the
Properties window were moved to the newly created Render Layers tab.
The idea is to separate per render layer rendering options into a distinct
Properties window tab, and use the existing Render tab to accommodate
per scene rendering options.
* The new Freestyle panel was added in the Render tab. The panel header
contains a toggle button for globally enabling Freestyle, with the aim of making
Freestyle easier to find. Those Freestyle options in the Post Processing panel
were also moved to the new panel.
* GUI code was updated so that UI controls will be greyed out (instead of
being hidden) when Freestyle is disabled. Additional UI changes were also
made to reduce space consumption.
* The list of line sets was moved from the Freestyle panel to the Freestyle:
Line Sets panel.
* Old ray-casting algorithms were removed from the UI. Now only two
algorithms (culled and non-culled cumulative visibility detection algorithms)
are available, and the selection is done by the new "Culling" toggle button
within the edge detection options.
PATCH: [#32989] Activate backup files filter in File Browser
Contributed by Georg Kronthaler, many thanks!
(I just moved the icon to a different place reserved for file browser icons)
* enables the filtering of backup files in the file browser
* adds a 'filter backup files'-icon to the filter buttons
* adds new icons for backup files in list and thumbnail view
* enables file preview for the backup files
shows both title safe and action safe areas following more modern standards.
Patch #32822 by Harley Acheson, full description:
Our current "title safe" camera display option is anachronistic. It shows a
border of 10% on all edges, which used to be the recommended title safe area
for 4:3 content on standard definition CRT televisions. However we are very
unlikely to create new projects that output for SD TV at that aspect ratio.
This patch change the option to "safe areas" with and indicates the
"title safe" area (also known as "graphic safe") as well as the "action safe"
area. "Title Safe" is an area visible by all reasonably maintained sets, where
text was certain not to be cut off. "Action Safe" is a larger area that
represented where a "perfect" set (with high precision to allow less
overscanning) would cut the image off.
The current recommendation for Action Safe is 3.5% on all edges, which is the
maxiumum overscan for TVs now. The recommended title safe is now 5% vertically
and 10% horizontally for content that is of wider aspect ratio than 4:3. The
reason for the difference between horizontal versus vertical margin is because
wider content would be letterboxed on an older 4:3 television, giving it
additional margin.
- Disabled "Quick Cache" option. It was causing ridiculous updates
on the entire animation system for start-end frame on every user
event causing changes here (like during transform). Worst was that you
couldn't transform animated objects for that reason either.
Most of the code is still there, waiting for a moment to revise it...
- Constraint "Follow Track" (marker) wasn't using inverse matrix code
in transform, making it wacko to use (wrong pivot, crazyspace)
Added option to display object's diffuse color multiplied by sculpting
mask. This option could be found in Options panel of toolshelf when in
sculpting mode.
Thanks to Nicholas and Brecht for reviewing the patch!
* Separated bookmarks managed by the OS (System Bookmarks) and bookmarks managed by Blender (Bookmarks).
* Added user pref to hide (or show) system bookmarks to allow users doing a video tutorial for example to hide their private system bookmarks
This feature should help especially MAC users who reported excessively long list of bookmarks which were added to Blender.
Made it so meshes, curves, surfaces and metaballs are scaling to a grid cell size,
which makes them behave consistently now.
There're still issues to be resolved still:
- Lattice is not scaled to grid cell size yet, it uses slightly different add
function which makes scaling a bit tricky and hacky. Would prefer to do a
bit bigger refactor here, so it's a TODO for now.
- Cameras, speakers and other helpers are not scaling. They don't have data
on which scale could be applied and perhaps it should be some kind of draw
scale. Also would consider it's a TODO for now.
don't think its needed to print the full path of each addon.
also remove the __MACOX check, its harmless and people can make sure there zips dont have cruft in them before distributing them.
