* Blender static now links. By default this option is disabled on all
platforms. Simply set the option in config.opts to 'true'.
* Added the following flags to config.opts:
- HOST_CC. This is the C compiler for the host platform. This value is the
same as TARGET_CC when not cross compiling.
- HOST_CXX. This is the C++ compiler for the host platform. This value is
the same as TARGET_CXX when not cross compiling.
- TARGET_CC. This is the C compiler for the target platform.
- TARGET_CXX. This is the C++ compiler for the target platform.
- TARGET_AR. This is the linker command for linking libraries.
- PATH This is the standard search path
All SConscript files have been updated to reflect these changes. Now it's
possible to change only the root SConstruct file, and all compiler specific
variables are passed automatically to all SConscript files. Of course, this
does not apply to makesdna because there the host and target platform is
different from all other libraries.
To pass a variable that applies to all platforms, all we now have to do is
set the correct value in library_env
Note: as usual, to get the latest options in the config.opts file, first
remove your version.
* Removed the I18N_DEFINES from the config.opts file. This define is not a
user setting. The defines depend on what options the user enables in the top
of the config.opts file (USE_INTERNATIONAL).
* Moved the defines to the correct SConscript files.
Only the relevant libraries now use these defines.
* Windows fix for the python settings. There were missing brackets [ and ] for
these settings.
* Almost all library settings are now available in the config.opts user option
file.
* All platform variables had to be updated to make this possible. Things are
much clearer now, but I only was able to test the changes on Linux. I've
tried to update all other platform variables, but things are most likely to
be broken. Please contact me how to resolve the issues.
Note: Before running scons, remove your existing config.opts file to get all
new options.
* libraries are now generated in [BUILD_DIR]/lib
* passed the user_options to all libraries now.
This means I could remove a couple of Export/Import lines.
* Changed the order in source/blender/src/SConscript and
source/gameengine/SConscript.
All libraries are now sorted alphabetically. This has no impact on the build
process.
who have set a %HOME% environment var now works again.
Patch provided by Bill Baxter, plus an additional fix for Win9x.
There is still work to be done with this after the 2.32 release...
The font vectordata is scaled on load, so the character size will fit between the default (1.0) linedist.
Warning: this might change the font size in older blend files. (read: breaks backward compatibility)
Materials are exported the best we can do by now. It will look almost as in
blender except for the missing procedural textures and some minor issues.
You have to tweak normal modulation amount to get the desired result cause
is not the same in yafray.
We added a panel in render space to adjust some yafray settings (GI and so)
Also we export transparency and reflection using new raytracing settings,
but that will be changed and improved soon.
Remember that you have to set YFexport path in user defaults and yafray must
be on path (version 0.0.6)
We added the "yafray" button to activate all this stuff in the render window.
Panel and settings are only shown when checked.
So now when activated the code calls yafray export instead of the internal
renderer and finally the resulting image is loaded back into render window's
buffer. So animation is also possible and results can be saved using blender
usual scheme.
You'll need SCons (www.scons.org) to build.

Thanks to IanWill for a bugfix in the Linux build.
Note: This is a work in progress. A lot still has to be done - for example the
optional parts are only to be enabled by directly setting 'true' or
'false' in the SConstruct file. This needs to be moved to a user config
file. Also, the .o/.obj files are stored in the source tree. This needs
to be fixed as well.
The game engine is not yet built.
Code from Peter O'Gorman <ogorman@users.sourceforge.net which has
been credited in the source.
Basically the dlopen() and dlerror() calls have been recreated wrapping
the standard OSX methods.
Names used are osxdlopen() and osxdlerror(). So no naming conflict will
occur.
colors. This because of the pretty weird (ab)use of load & make editmesh...
For each added undo step, the load_editmesh was fed with an empty mesh
to assign data to, without knowledge of what was in the original mesh.
That way UV and color data got lost.
Solved it in 2 steps:
1. removing the ->tface pointer from EditVlak, and make TFace a builtin
struct inside EditVlak. This didnt cost much extra mem, since it already
stored UV and color. This enabled some pretty cleanup in editmesh.c as
well, storing tface pointers was cumbersome.
2. for each undo step, it then generates always a tface and mcol block to
link to the undo Mesh.
Even when it wasn't in the actual Mesh, at exit editmode the original
Mesh is used as reference anyway, and undo-meshes are freed correctly.
The enormous commit is because I had to change the BLI_editVert.h file, and
found it was included in about every file unnecessary. I removed it there.
ALso found out that subsurf has code ready (unfinished) to make UV coords for
the displaylist in EditMode as well, nice to know for later...
(the first save didn't store paths or font settings!)
This is something I broke back at 2.28a :)
I'm suprised there were no bug reports on this, but it's fixed now! ;)
Axis options for TrackTo
LockTrack
FollowPath
Auto creation of TrackTo constraint from Ctrl-T (old track still an option)
Auto creation of FollowPath when parenting to path (Normal parent still an option)
Backward compatibility stuff to convert the per object axis settings to per constraint when a Track constraint is present.
Function to convert old track to constraint (commented out)
Revamped the constraints interface with Matt's work from tuhopuu and the stuff we were discussing earlier.
--------------------
For coders:
unique_constraint_name and *new_constraint_data moved to the kernel (constraint.c)
new Projf function in arithb gives the projection of a vector on another vector
add_new_constraint now takes a constraint type (int) parameter
add_constraint_to_object(bConstraint *con, Object *ob) to link a constraint to an object
add_constraint_to_client(bConstraint *con) to link constraint to current client (object or bone)
add_influence_key_to_constraint (bConstraint *con) to (eventually) add a keyframe to the influence IPO of a constraint
Blender no longer uses the windows dir as %HOME%
This also fixes the ".blanguage not found" errors when
double-clicking .blend files. (Win32)
Needs testing at Win2k/XP!!!
do a make clean in source/blender/ to be sure!
- Included the new shaders from Cessen... well, only the shader calls
themselves. To make sure the shaders work I nicely integrated it
- MaterialButtons: layout changed a bit, but still resembles the old
layout. The 'shader' options now are located together.
- Shaders are separated in 'diffuse' and 'specular'. You can combine them
freely.
- diffuse Lambert: old shader
diffuse Oren Nayar: new shader, gives sandy/silky/skinny material well
diffuse Toon: for cartoon render
- specular Phong: new spec, traditional 70ies spec
specular CookTorr: a reduced version of cook torrance shading, does
off specular peak well
specular Blinn: new spec, same features as CookTorr, but with extra
'refraction' setting
specular Toon: new spec for cartoon render
- default blender starts with settings that render compatible!
- works in shaded view and preview-render
- works in unified render
Further little changes:
- removed paranoia compile warnings from render/loader/blenlib
- and the warnings at files I worked at were removed.
the myriad of warnings people complained about so long.
after careful consulting & reading I could not find a good reason
for this const stuff, apart from a sort-of comment to indicate
this array (matrix) pointer cannot be changed. Well, doh! you
should not do that with a float mat[][3] anyway!
Florian Eggenburger).
Full instructions are in doc/README.windows-gcc.
Main differences from Florian's patch:
- the 'lib' dir should now be the same level as the 'blender' dir (rather
than being a subdir of 'blender'). This is consistent with the other
platforms that bf-blender supports (tuhopuu will also adopt this convention
hopefully soon).
- the script 'free_windows-env.mk' is no longer needed ... see the
docs about how this is overcome (again, tuhopuu will hopefully
also follow this route soon).
- the dlltool dir has it's own Makefile that builds all of the
needed stub libraries from the dll's in cvs.
parse the vector data. Freetype2 supports many font formats
including Type1, TrueType and OpenType fonts.
Enable with the WITH_FREETYPE2 compile flag, in the
source/blender/blenkernel and source/blender/blenlib dirs.
The third is for actually loading the plugins in blender.
For some reason its not identifying the plugins correctly,
but it compiles and runs so I'm including it hoping someone else
might see where I've messed things up...
I have a simple example at http://www.cs.umn.edu/~mein/test.tgz that
works, if anyone is interested in playing with it.
