* Sphere radius and Kr derivative epsilon were removed from the
Parameter Editor mode. Now sphere radius of 1.0 and Kr derivative
epsilon of 0.0 are used by default. The rationale of the removal
is two-fold: little predictability and very minor artistic values.
The effects of these parameters are hard to estimate in advance,
which likely leads to a frustration of users due to repeated
trials and unpredicted results. Therefore, the two parameters
are considered to have quite limited artistic values. Proper
definitions of the two parameters more and less require the
knowledge of differential geometry and would not make sense to
most artists for which the Parameter Editor is intended.
* Sphere radius and Kr derivative epsilon are still available in
the Python Scripting mode, but now in an "advanced options" section
that is disabled and hidden by default. This way new users are
properly warned, while expert users with specific technical needs
can enable these options if they want. The same default values
mentioned above are used when the two parameters are disabled.
Initial idea was to perform bilinear filtering for displaying proxied frame
to make it looking a bit smoother. It was done but it was also discovered
that using such kind of texture buffers helps on some crappy videocards
when playing $k footage.
Currently check for NPOT support is disabled, so use this option with care.
- Split display options into two panels:
* Display, which contains all general display options related on editor itself
* Marker Display, which contains options which makes sense for markers themselves
and not used so often.
- Remove Show GPencil option which doesn't actually make sense because strokes might
be disabled from GPencil panel
- Removed Show Pyramid option and show pyramid for KLT tracker as default.
- Added hotkey to toggle Show Disabled (Alt-D)
- Added hotkey to toggle Show Pattern (Alt-S)
Changes in interface and hotkeys are done by Sebastian Koenig.
Thanks for the patch!
Own changes in interface were related on Aspect Ratio. It doesn't make
much sense for tracking (camera pixel aspect is what you'll want to use,
but for masking it would make much more sense because when you just
want to create a mask for footage you don't actually have camera).
Just removing from interface seems not so nice for now.
This was a request by Daniel Salazar. It adds a new frame offset variable to fluid sim settings, which can be used to display baked fluid sims at different times. Eventually this could be replaced by real NLA strips for cached data, but until then this is a simple way to have more flexible cache result usage.
Not strictly a BCon3 patch, but after IRC discussion with Genscher, ZanQdo and kaito decided to commit it anyway, since it's a small feature and makes fluid sim a bit more usable. Similar patch for point cache (particles, smoke, cloth) is being worked on as well.
Realize this is bcon3 but this is was very bad IMHO.
- button adjusting key block was in between 2 object settings - which is misleading/confusing.
- you needed to click through all shapes to check which was muted, currently you's assume 1.0 means the shape is enabled.
While looking at a bug report, I found that the current GUI for the Action
Constraint actually didn't make sense, mixing up settings so that it wasn't
clear which settings corresponded to which others. This commit cleans up the
layout into a clearer two-column design to have a "from" -> "to" layout, making
all the
relationships between things clear.

- Renamed graph_jump_to_current_frame to graph_center_current_frame
which makes more sense.
- Curve view now can be locked to time cursor (Lock to Time Cursor in
Display panel or L button in curve view). Not sure if offset from
locked position will make much sense here.
- Added hotkey for solving -- Shift-S.
- Fixed tooltip displaying for track sequence forwards in clip editor
- Corrected detection of 8 tracks so it wouldn't count tracks disabled
on keyframes.
- Scale track preview to actual track widget size instead of scaling the
whole preview image with given zoom ratio, so no extra memory needed to
store zoomed margin would be used.
- Track's statistics text will fit pattern position instead of search if
marker is disabled on current frame.
- Fixed toggle selection operator if selected track is hidden due to
"Hide Disabled" policy.
This commit restores support for freezing or speeding up physics sims. Animate
the "Speed" parameter under Domain->Time, which controls a multiplier factor for
the rate at which the sim proceeds (i.e. the old "Fac-Tim" setting).
Notes:
* Subversion bumped to 4 to patch up defaults for new value so that old sim
files will still run correctly
* Names/descriptions could do with some tweaking
* Porting this across was not that obvious since quite a bit of stuff had
changed (as in, been cleaned up). However, from tests so far, it seems to work
well.
* Some tweaks to the modifier UI
* Hide sharpness property, instead of greying out.
The policy is to use greying out when a property depends on a boolean, if it depends on an enum item, hide it.
