Fixed and completed support for returning multiple values. This includes support for returning arrays, both fixed and dynamically sized. The way this is achieved is by storing an additional int value next to the dynamic parameter in the ParameterList stack which gets passed to the C function as an additional parameter. In the case of return parameters it is duty of the C function to set this int to the correct length value for the dynamic parameter (which makes sense). Note that for the dynamic output/return parameter it is assumed the function has allocated that memory (which gets freed automatically).
Also, I cleaned the makesrna's bridge function generation code a bit and renamed PROP_RETURN to PROP_OUTPUT, which represents better the reality now that there are multiple returns. The function now to mark multiple returns (outputs) is RNA_def_function_output.
For an example, look at Action.get_frame_range in rna_action_api.c, by the way Aligorith I removed the #ifdef for this function now that there's support for returning arrays, feel free to modify (the function seems to work).
ID-Type for Driver Targets should sometimes not be editable, otherwise, users could set invalid datablocks, leading to crashes.
Added missing checks for this to prevent this happening again.
This operator can be accessed from the "Action Clip" panel, and is used to include keyframes that have been added to a strip already in the NLA. Although this is not a recommended workflow, having this ability is useful at times.
* Particle collision with size was broken since raytrace optimizations by jaguarandi, now the collision code falls back to old slower method when the collision ray has a radius.
* Single goal/avoid object now works for boids.
* Some tiny improvements on collision avoidance for boids.
* scale and rotation of objects with negative scale is exported correctly. This is accomplished by:
** if ob has no parent, use ob->rot, ob->scale values directly
** if ob has a parent, a local matrix is computed without scale and rotation is derived from it, scale value is copied directly from ob->size
Noted a few other bugs:
* importer suffers from negative scale problem too
* bones with negative scale are exported incorrectly too
* object animation values are copied from FCurves which is not ok for child objects where values should be in parent-space
Basically two simple changes, changes, I pulled in the faster
ghash in bmesh (which uses mempools for allocation, providing
a substanstial speedup in some cases, and also I inlined some
of the functions), and I changed __inline to __forceinline for inlining
of math functions.
I also removed the timer in the view3d zoom op (ctrl-middlemouse)
that was making it nonfunctional. Why was that there?
Between the datablock filtering options and the auto-snapping menu in the headers of Animation Editors, there is a new toggle for enabling this new feature (only when there are groups in the scene). Enabling this, a field to enter/select a group in the scene to filter with, will appear beside it.
This feature has been added to make it easier to manage animating multiple character shots in Durian.
By assigning the rigs of several bandits to a single group, or Sintel and her staff to another group, or Sintel and the guardians to another group, and so on, it is possible to filter the animation data shown in the editors to a useful subset of the total motion in the scene.
This makes it easier to retime or edit the motions of one set of characters and their props without affecting the motions of other no-related objects. The downside is that there is a bit more setup work required upfront, but that's probably a small price to pay for some groupings that may be useful in other ways too later (perhaps for compositing or lighting work).
Action Groups can now be expanded/collapsed in DopeSheet editors without the same thing happening in the Graph Editor, and visa versa.
This should help improve the workflow, since the channel lists are generally kept more compact in the DopeSheet, while they are more expanded in the Graph Editor, so less time is spent expanding/collapsing stuff. Also this should hopefully alleviate some of the errors from accidentally deleting and then having to restore channels that were not intended to be deleted.
Also, switched the order of the expand/collapse hotkeys (in the channels list region) for channels so that Ctrl +/- now expands/collapses selected channels only, while +/- expands/collapses all channels. This should make it more convenient to quickly open up all groups to select F-Curves for the Graph Editor.
* Selected keyframes in unselected F-Curves were still being modified, although not shown
* Selection tools for keyframes were changing the selection status of F-Curves, making keyframes sometimes disappear after trying to select another keyframe
* Warning fixes in a few other files
* inline some more functions, from math_base and math_vector
* also made some changes to the way inline is done so it can
work for more than one file
* reflect_v3_v3v3 requires input vectors to be normalized now.
* added rgb_to_grayscale
* added zero_v4, copy_v4_v4, swap_v4_v4, is_one_v3
* added box_clip_bounds_m4 to clip a bounding box against a
projection matrix
to wait for an item to be put in the queue and then pop immediately without,
this makes it possible to avoid sleep() while waiting for the results of a
thread.
problem is that where_is_object is being called from multiple threads
but is not thread-safe, added a note about this problem, this commit
only solves the crash. Also remove the pushdata/popdata mechanism
that was being used here, using this kind of system is bound to give
problems with threading.
particle systems in the 3d view while rendering, this will recompute the particles
in the modifier stack, while these are being manipulated by the render engine
at the same time... a better fix is needed clearly but quite difficult.
python modules bpy.app, bpy.utils are now included in docs.
C defined python module bpy.props has its docstrings extracted and written directly into sphinx docs since the C methods cant be inspected.
added docstrings to bpy.props and improved some in bpy.utils.
will update online docs tomorrow.
Patch by Jonathan Smith
When using numerical input, up and down arrow keys increment and decrement the value by the transform increment amount (grid for grab and so on).
Works correctly with menu, keymap definitions and keymap export/import.
Properties set in the macro definition overwrite those set by the user (there's no way to see that in the UI at this point).
MISSING: Python operator calling code to fill in the properties hierarchy.
Also contains some keymap export changes by Imran Syed (freakabcd on irc): the exported configuration will use the name of the file and the exported script will select the added configuration when ran.
