* new/remove for GPencil frames/strokes/
* add/pop for points
* clear for frame/layer & grease_pencil
* copy for frame
+ fix for free_gpencil_frames() not clearing the active frame
* KX_GameObject.member returns the list of group members if the object is a group object, otherwise None is returned
* KX_GameObject.group returns the group object that the object belongs to or None if the object is not part of a group
Separate vertex copies are now made for flat-shading, such that the
normal is correctly flat-shaded. The element index buffer is not
created in this case.
* De-duplicate GPU code to check if VBO should be used.
* Add a flag to indicate if the buffer should be drawn smooth or not,
rather than checking each time the node is drawn.
As suggested by Campbell on the IRC gave grease pencil its own notifier type (NC_GPENCIL) and made the makesrna notifier functions actually update properly.
Also got the #ifdef'd GreasePencil.layers.[new/remove] functions working.
Added a convenience operator to the Follow Path constraint which adds a F-Curve
for the path (or the operator's "fixed position" value if no path is assigned),
with options for setting the start frame and length of motion. This makes it
easier for common users to just set up a quick follow-path animation where the
camera (e.g. flying around a set over certain number of frames).
A key advantage of this is that it takes care of the underlying math required
for setting up the generator curve accordingly (I've got some plans for making
this a bit friendlier to use later). Now, animating the paths is a one-click
operation, with the start and length properties able to be controlled using the
operator properties.
Recently on the bf-funboard list, there have been some requests for clearer
indications for animators that autokeying has been enabled when transforming so
that corrective action can be taken sooner if this wasn't expected. This is
especially important in distributed+collaborative environments where multiple
artists may work on a single shot file: someone working on a shot from
another animator may not be aware that autokeying was enabled, thus accidentally
setting a whole bunch of extra keyframes.
In this current incarnation, we display using red (not hardcoded, but using an
existing theme color) a solid 1px border around the 3D view while transforming
with autokeying enabled. In addition to the border, a blinking indicator (record
icon + "Auto Keying On" text) appear in the top right corner, as inspired by the
traditional recording indicator icons on camcorders.
* Get rid of ED_object_add_generic_invoke() and all invoke callbacks using it, it was doing nothing exec() callbacks would not do. In fact, its only action (setting part of common add ops properties, like loc, layers, etc.) was needed too by direct exec call, so it was done twice in case of using invoke()!
* Replace custom invoke code for metaballs by WM_menu_invoke helper (as already used by lamps).
* Add a new OBJECT_OT_empty_add op, to allow direct addition of empties of a given drawtype.
* And some general code cleanup (like trailing spaces, empty lines, ...).
Did quite a bunch of tests/verifications, but obviously could not tackle all possible scenarios... Anyway, if any, bugs should arize quite quickly (but I don’t expect any! :p ).
