The goodies:
* Curves can be used as normal dynamic effectors too with
the new "curve" field shape.
* Group visualization has optional duplication counts for
each object in the specified group.
* Object & group visualizations, which are done without
taking the dupliobject's global position into account
(unless the whole group is used). This is much nicer than
the previous behavior, but I added a "Use Global Location"
option for those who want to use it the old way.
* The active particle system's particles are now drawn a
with theme coloured outline instead of pure white.
* Added object aligned velocity factors (buttons categorized
and re-organized too).
Bug fixes:
* Absorption didn't work as the ui toggle button was forgotten.
* Some other force field ui tweaks.
* Crash after adding children and changing trails count.
* Display types "cross" and "axis" crashed.
* Particles weren't drawn with correct coloring.
* Billboards didn't update properly in viewport to camera
location changes.
* Particle rotation wasn't recreated correctly from point cache.
* Changing particles amount crashed sometimes.
* Some files with child hair crashed on loading.
* Compiler warning fixes.
* Adding boids crashed on frame 1;
- Window creation at preferred size
Implement in Ghost the use of Cocoa functions to get the maximum visible rect (size and position) for the window contents (all screen excluding dock, top menu, and window title bar)
Thus Apple specific code in window creation (wm_window.c & wm_apple.c) is no more needed => removed in case of Cocoa build
- Alert on exiting despite unsaved changes
Add to GHOST method to maintain an all platforms (not apple specific anymore) status on unsaved changes
Update GHOST_SystemCocoa to use this for asking or not user to confirm exit without saving changes
Volumes can now receive shadows from external objects, either raytraced shadows or shadow maps.
To use external shadows, enable 'external shadows' in volume material 'lighting' panel. This an extra toggle since it causes a performance hit, but this can probably be revisited/optimised when the new raytrace accelerator is integrated. For shadow maps at least, it's still very quick.
Renamed 'scattering mode' to 'lighting mode' (a bit simpler to understand), and the options inside. Now there's:
- Shadeless
takes light contribution, but without shadowing or self-shading (fast)
good for fog-like volumes, such as mist, or underwater effects
- Shadowed (new)
takes light contribution with shadows, but no self-shading. (medium)
good for mist etc. with directional light sources
eg. http://vimeo.com/6901636
- Shaded
takes light contribution with internal/external shadows, and self shading (slower)
good for thicker/textured volumes like smoke
- Multiple scattering etc (still doesn't work properly, on the todo).
- terrible typo was making the multiplication to run in an infinite loop.
- Any matrix * vector multiplication would crash Blender.
eg
####
import Mathutils
from Mathutils import *
vec_ray = Vector(0.0, 0.0, 1.0)
tilt_mat = RotationMatrix(0.0, 3, "y")
vec_ray = tilt_mat * vec_ray
####
* #19529: Saving in edit mode causes problems in mode buttons when reopening
* Fixed compiler warning in writefile for mingw
* AnimData for Lamp data was not recognised by RNA
*Fixed some spacing issues in 3D View and Outliner headers
*Made the Bone properties layout consistent with Object properties
*Put Rotation Mode menus below transformation channels, being less important.
*Tiny layout tweak for area lamps
Added a way to view and edit Keying Sets via the Scene Buttons. These are still some tweaks needed to make this really workable, but should still work well enough for simply viewing and tweaking existing Keying Sets created using other means.
Additional bugfixes:
* Adjusted the size of labels on properties that had a 'label' for their name. Now it uses 1/3 of the total width instead, which looks much better for most cases.
* Added missing entries for adding Force Fields from the Info-header 'Add' menu. At some point we should unify this menu with the popup operator's one, since this is exactly the kind of situation we had hoped in avoid with new UI architectures.
* Moved all the operator defines for keyframing stuff to the 'intern' anim header instead
* Fix loading issue of blend files with smoke collision objects (was disabled on purpose since it will be subject of change, but can be solved using do_versions() later)
- flush face selection to the derived mesh where possible (if CD_ORIGINDEX is available).
- fixed border-select while painting which rarely worked.
- painting on a mesh with no UV's didn't free the derived mesh.
one active. Now there's a function to get the pointer + property from
the UI, just like for the animation operators.
Also two fixes for fileselect events, regions are now preserved so that
context is restored to the old region, and the cancel callback is called
when the operator is cancelled.
Since bli_threads.h now includes pthreads directly, we need to had instructions in SConscripts everywhere for proper include path.
Frankly, I feel like this should be done in a global manner and not in a per lib fashion, but that is for another day.
This commit also fixes more missing properties
