Active shape key can now be changed while in edit mode. This is based
on exit/enter editmode again in the background, which is not ideal,
as that loses the undo history. But that already happened anyway when
you did exit/change-active/enter manually.
Blended shape keys can now be displayed & edited in edit mode. This
is much like showing an armature modifier in edit mode, and shape keys
now are a applied as a virtual modifier (for mesh & lattice only, curve
doesn't fit in the stack well due to tilt).
The main thing missing still is being able to switch between the active
shape key in edit mode, that's more complicated.. but the weights of
other shapes can be edited while in edit mode.
One thing to be careful about is that this does automatic crazyspace
correction, which means that if you edit a shape key with a low value,
the actual vertices will be moved to correct for that and actually move
a (potentially much) longer distance.
Also includes some UI tweaks, mainly placing some buttons horizontally
since the vertical list was getting too long.
This means if you refer to a member of an object it will fail silently if there is no active object, but if you use an invalid attribute of the object it raises an error.
The method to check this is not nice but works well enough.
also removed pageup/down keys for changing the active shape since listviews can do this now.
Internal change to not apply the shape keys to the Mesh vertex coordinates,
but rather use it as part of the derivedmesh/displist evaluation. This only
has one practical advantage right now, which is that you can now make a
linked duplicate and pin it's shape key to a different shape than the first
object.
Further, this makes shape keys correctly fit into the modifier stack design,
which will help implement some other features later. Also it means the mesh
vertex coordinates are now really the orco's.
* Submenus displaying the options available for certain operators now will now show the hotkey for the operator on the menu entries.
* Added an option for mirroring keyframes in the Graph Editor which makes use of the new cursor
* RNA Path fixing when renaming data now checks if a path in question cannot be resolved before trying to fix it. This should reduce the number of misindentified cases I hope.
* Silenced compiler warnings for EdgeSlide stuff that mingw was making about unused variables.
* Transform code was not properly fixed to work with the new way that axis-angle data was stored
* The order of the args for the conversion function when switching rotation representations was wrong, causing problems when switching from quaternion to axis angle (i.e. these occurred for newly created bones).
Using standard 'save' now pops up a filebrowser when the file hasn't been saved before instead of just assuming that the file should be called "untitled.blend" and dumped in the last used directory.
* Mouse wheel now scrolls the list.
* Up/down key and alt mouse wheel change the active item.
* Adding/removing items from the list now automatically scrolls so the
active item is in the view.
* Shift mouse wheel changes the size of the list widget to display more
items. Lazy replacement for a proper grip.
* Shape key list now displays the influence value next to the name,
* Also fix the range of the value slider to match the defined min/max
range.
It is now possible to choose from 'Bounding Box' (default), '2D-Cursor', and 'Individual Centers' as the pivot point(s) that rotation/scaling is performed around.
* Driver adding/removing operators in the Outliner now work properly for arrays
* Renamed these operators so that their names are more indicative of how they work (i.e. based on the data in the Outliner that is selected)
* Added a menu labelled 'Edit' in the Datablocks view which gives access to (and includes the hotkeys for) these tools.
Moving out a few gl state changes to higher-level calls to improve performance when drawing handles. This already improves the responsiveness a lot on a few files, though a few other tweaks will also help.
part. This fixes a bug where transform help line drawing would not
work with view clipping and mess up the z-buffer. This avoids the
transform code having to figure out what kind of opengl state is
enabled and disable it temporarily.
that completely:
* quit.blend is saved from the undo file, which did not save out library
ID_LI and ID_ID blocks, for quick undo keeping the library datablocks.
However this means library links are lost on reading the quit.blend, so
now instead of not writing them, they are not read on undo.
* Libraries were not not using the right path yet always.
Note the screen setup is still not recovered from the quit.blend if no
auto save happened yet, but that is not important enough to spend time on
now.
- weight blending (Vertex specials menu), currently blends from surrounding unselected verts (nice for blending edge loops), but will eventually support face mask mode.
Added an option for normalize_all that keeps the active group at its existing weight while normaling all other groups around it.
Thsi makes it easy to paint up to 100% where all other groups will use progressivly less until the active group is 100% and all others are 0.
Added weight operators to the toolbar
Auto save is now working again in 2.5. It will also remember now what
the location of the original file was when recovering it, so that
library links still work and saving the restored file does not save to
the temp directory. There is also a new Recover Auto Save operator
which will open the filebrowser in the temp directory and show the
auto saved .blends.
Implemenation Notes:
* Timer storage was moved from window to windowmanager, so we can have
windowmanager level timers too now, doesn't make sense to have
autosave timer attached to a particular window.
* FileGlobal now has a filename field storing where the file was saved.
Note that this is only used when loading a file through the recover
operators, regular file read doesn't use it, so copying the quit.blend
manually over the original file will still work as expected.
* Jobs timer no longer uses operator now, this seems more like an
internal thing, changing keymaps should not make it possible to break
the jobs manager.
* Autosave is postponed by 10 seconds when a modal operator is running,
e.g. transform or file browsing.
* Moved setting G.sce in setup_app_data before depsgraph updates, these
can use the filename for pointcaches.
I've finally given in, and implemented a '2d-cursor' for the Graph Editor. This is simply represented as an additional horizontal line that meets with the current frame indicator, forming a cross-hair. It can be disabled from the View menu.
Currently, the only tool which takes this into account is the Snapping tools (Shift-S), where I've hooked up a tool I added some time ago.
TODO:
- expose this cursor to the transform tools for scaling/rotation options...
*Put the Modifiers tab *before* the ObData (mesh, curve etc) tab, because modifiers actually apply to Object , not the ObData, even though the opposite would appear to make more sense.
