As per discussion and analysis of all trackpad usage, we now
follow this convention:
- Blender follows system setting for trackpad direction preference.
- If you set your system to "natural" scroll, we need to invert a couple
of cases in Blender we do "natural" already. Like:
- view rotate (the inversed option just never feels ok)
- scroll active items in list or pulldown menu (up/down is absolute)
- ALT+scroll values in buttons (up/down is absolute)
The new User Preference setting "Trackpad Natural" handles this.
For 2.66 we only have trackpad handling for OS X... so this isn't
affecting trackpad usage in Windows and Linux, which stick to be mapped
to Scroll Wheel still.
(Note: viewrotate now is "natural" always, changing how it worked in the
past weeks).
from regular diffuse to more shiny, stone, wax, eflective, glass and two non-realistic ones.
The menu now shows it in 3 rows. I made the previews a bit smaller, 96 pixels,
like the brushes for painting.
Thanks everyone for submitting pics! I updated the credit file too, but name
from one person is missing still, will be added next.
This is needed because render result is being reused between different render
previews and keeping names out of sync means once preview result was created
for blender internal, it wouldn't be updated after switching to cycles.
Same goes to switching from cycles to other renderers like lux and yaf.
Simply updated cycles_preview.blend for now, could be solved from code side
as well, but IMO better to collect such a limitations of preview blend files
and solve them all together during "custom preview.blend for external engines"
project.
Reported by Jens in IRC.
The API syntax of FrsMaterial was updated by means of getter/setter properties.
Python style modules (including the Parameter Editor) were updated accordingly.
* Disabling Skeleton Sketching now refreshes the view properly, so that strokes
don't linger on even after being disabled
* Added the delete operator to the panel
Although the bug report here wasn't exactly clear about what exactly was wrong,
it soon became apparent that the UI stuff here was in need of some love.
Changes:
* Ported over missing tooltips from 2.49 (i.e. most of them)
* Fixed a few incorrect tooltips (mostly the subdivision length settings)
* Made the autonaming and number/side settings slightly clearer - number/side
are used to replace placeholders in the names of template bones (&N and &S
respectively) when autonaming is disabled. When it is enabled, these values are
determined automatically.
Thought of setting the operator context before so it wouldnt invoke the confirmation dialog, but better leave it by default to confirm since it might be clicked by mistake and start dumping video/image-sequence and can get annoying.
draw_item *is* optional (it then uses default C function), even though there is not much sense to register a class without it, except for our default UI_UL_list!
Patch by Sergey, .blend by Thomas and some further tweaks by me.
Still to solve later: allow external engines to specify own preview .blend, for
now the code here is doing too much magic hacking on the preview scene still.
Previously it wasn't clear what it was supposed to be doing, or what was
required for it to work.
TODO: figure out why the operator redo settings panel won't work. The workflow
here is still a bit clunky.
StrokeAttribute class methods were renamed from camel case to lower case plus underscore.
Also made changes to shaders.pyTVertexOrientationShader that uses the affected methods.
* The API syntax of StrokeVertex and StrokeAttribute was updated by means of getter/setter
properties instead of class methods. Python style modules (including the Parameter Editor
implementation) were updated accordingly.
* Code clean-up was done for a few Python style modules, mostly by removing duplicated
definitions of stroke shaders and fixing indentation.
(and marking rna as deprecated)
I talked with Benoit Bolsee and Mitchell Stokes and they both agreed that
the feature should be removed.
In case someone was actually using it the rna is still available. But next
release we remove both the rna, the DNA and the flag in the code.
I did a simple benchmark with tons of cubes, and the DBVT culling (use_occlusion_culling=True)
always perform better than when it's off. Even when no occluder objects are in the scene.
Also generate rigid body constraint types in py bullet code from RNA enum values (simpler than having to sync the code when something is changed here!).
Side note: RNA API about icons still needs to expose icons for enum values, and conversion funcs between icon_name and icon_value!
Oops! So there was an Unpack button, hidden in the Nkey properties of Image window.
This was drawn next to greyed-out buttons, didn't notice it well.
I also now found the unpack() menu in editors/util, and there's an Image unpack op.
Also the RNA api has an unpack!
Will remove the generic unpack op, and add a sound and vfont unpack instead.
Now all add/remove operators for rigid body objects and constraints
automatically add objects to the appropriate groups and create groups if they
don't exist yet.
This makes handling rigid bodies easier but doesn't take away functionality.
If users want to handle groups manually they just need to create them before
adding any objects.
The previous behaviour was confusing and was even considered to be a bug since
clicking on rigid body in the physics tab seemed to do nothing.
This means the deformation on the input to the modifier can be re-applied ontop of the mesh cache.
In practice this is most useful for using corrective shape-keys with mesh-cache.
Added "Panel Title" style to Theme settings.
Allows to make these nice larger or draw differently.
Also tried to put hinting in Style, but this needs to be a per-font
setting. uiFont data is still not being saved (also not allowing
to set own font files for UI). That's a todo for 267 then.
* Code cleanup for new Rigid Body panels.
* Removed some unneeded split() calls.
* Remove redundant check for "ob.rigid_body_constraint" in the draw() function of the "Rigid Body Constraint" panel. The check is already made in the poll.
