Now, when Previewing/Browsing poses with Ctrl-L, it is possible to type in part of a name to limit the poses which can get chosen to hone in on the poses you wish to apply more quickly.
* The search is case insensitive, and doesn't look for complete matches (it will 'match' if the whole search-string is found).
* Only basic text manipulation capabilities are available for editing the search string (i.e. backspace, del, home, end, move text-cursor forward ->, move text-cursor backwards <-).
* Pose browsing using the Scroll-Wheel and Page up/down can be used to browse through the matches
* View manipulation is only possible with MMB, as numpad keys are used for search-string input.
In the process, I've recoded the preview function to be more modular. It's now split up more, like the Transform core.
I hope this time I've fixed it once and for all. The cases which use to fail seem to work now, so I assume it's now fixed. In case it isn't, I'll leave the bug report open for a few days first.
* Tidied up coding style of code in editconstraint.c
- removed blank lines, made whitespace-use more consistent
* Shuffled code in editconstraint.c and BIF_editconstraint.h so that it was in a more orderly fashion
* Reduced code redundancy in test_constraints
- tests which can apply to general constraints (target existance, and clashes with the owner) are not copied out for each constraint that needs it
- ChildOf constraint now gets validated too (before it was missing such checks)
* Recoded the way PyConstraints build the menu for displaying scripts available for use. It now uses dynstr instead of guessing how much memory to allocate for each entry
* NKEY popup for renaming channels was not working correctly. A typo meant that it only showed when the mouse was in the timeline area, not when it was over the channel names.
* Added a few safety checks to copy/paste to hopefully prevent crashes. Also, when there's only one channel in the buffer, it now copies all the data from that to all selected channels.
Proxy protected bones can now get local (per-file) constraints added to them, which will be preserved after a file load. This is necessary for adding constraints to proxy-protected bones for special purposes while animating (i.e. adding CopyLocs to IK-hand controls to pick up an object).
These must be added after any constraints from the proxy, as proxy constraints may come and go without warning. As such, the UI forbids this from happening by removing the relevant button.
I've also made UI-changes to show which constraints come from the proxy (the buttons to move the constraint up/down and delete it, are replace with two icons - a the proxy 'ghost' icon and a lock). Also, trying to change any settings of proxy-protected constraint will show an error.
Notes:
* Object constraints are still not playing nice with proxies yet. They didn't before this commit either...
* Removed "snap" from the names of the entries in the "Auto-Snap" menu for the Action Editor. "No Snap" is still "No Snap" though.
* PoseLib is now referred to as "Pose Library" in the interface
* Tidied up whitespace in editaction.c
also removed FTYPE as an optional format (TODO - remove FTYPE from render output panel since you cant use FTYPE anymore and its not used internally, hint hint)
The warning i've coded 1.5 year ago, to warn when a .blend was written
by newer executable, failed on the .B.blend load case... UI not property
initialized then.
This at least fixes the crash, a menu won't pop up correctly though...
luckily the warning works for regular load or ctrl-x
Attention! Rather large sequencer rewrite:
* Implemented layer blending using implicit effects. (works like layers
in "The Gimp" or Photoshop.)
* Fixed Space-Bar start-stop in preview windows.
You can start playback using spacebar within a preview-window and it _works_!
* Fixed Flip Y (didn't work for float)
* Fixed premul (didn't work for float)
* Added IPOs to _all_ tracks. In blend-mode REPLACE it drives the
"mul"-parameter in all other blend modes it drives the effect.
* you can meta single tracks.
* moved "mute track" from "M" to "Shift-M"
* added "Shift-L" for "lock track"
* changed inner workings for Metas. Now all ImBufs have to use the
reference counting mechanism. (Only interesting for coders :)
!!! Really important change, that affects current files!
Since you can mute tracks and now there is real layer blending capabilities
in place, I changed the silly behaviour that chose the output track.
Old behaviour: if we have an effect track visible, use the uppermost effect
track. If there is _no_ effect track visible, use the lowest input track.
New behaviour: always use the uppermost track. With blend modes active:
work our way down starting from the uppermost track to the first
"replace"-mode track. This is the way the gimp, photoshop, basically _all_
other applications work...
So if this change ruins your day: please try to fix your files using
"mute". If this doesn't work out, I can still restore the old behaviour,
but I really hope, that this is _not_ necessary!
Rational: most people won't get affected by this change, since you can't
really do anything usefull with the (old) sequencer without at least one
effect track and then you are on the safe side...
This means one group can contain proxy objects to display in the 3d view as well as hi quality models that are only rendered. - again for peach tree's.
made when testing peach blend files wont have path issues when sent to the renderfarm.
* log failed path conversions
* clean the path so //foo/../foo/ is removed (not sure why but some peach files had this problem)
Also added a function to util.c
BLI_cleanup_file, same as BLI_cleanup_dir but dosnt add a slash at the end.
* Most were uninitialised vars
* Fixed whitespace in a few places
* The change I made in rendercore.c -> do_bake_shade() was for an uninitialised var, but I hope it does't cause any rendering errors...
Based on feedback from Ton, I've recoded the way "PoseLibs" are implemented/exposed. Therefore, quite a bit of code has been changed to fit this in better.
Now, ANY ACTION can be a "PoseLib". A set of Markers which belong to the Action (it's taken a year, but they're finally back), are used to tag "poses" in the Action. These markers are shown using diamond-shaped blue icons (designed by Matt Ebb) in three shades - unselected/normal, selected, active.
Notes:
* Each Armature Object has an Action which acts as a PoseLib.
* Improved UI presented in buttons panel for this
-- added proper buttons for action assigning
-- renamed "Validate PoseLib" to "Auto-Sync PoseLib" (this option auto-tags poses based on keyframes found)
Like in the 3d-view, use the hotkeys:
* Shift-L to add a local marker
* Ctrl-Shift-L to rename a local marker
* Alt-L to delete selected local markers
Note: transforms, etc. are not currently available with these markers
== PoseLib Preview ==
Added a few features here:
* Left/Right-Arrow keys now change the poses too (previous and next respectively)
* Up/Down-Arrow keys also change the poses, but "jump" to a pose 5 steps away in their respective directions
at all if you use new 'minimal' option. The new option works much nicer
if it only sets the minimum. (use texture with 'refl' map)
Added option to env map too!
Image texture "Filter size" was not well usable for making the
appearance soft filtered, this because it multiplied the sample
values, and such values could be extreme small.
Added next to "Filter" buton a new "Min" option, which enforces
a filter size to be a minimum of 'filter' pixels in size.
Since there was no easy way to apply a constraint's transformation back to the original objects transformation.
Also adjusted how Apply Scale/Rot works so that it wont change some objects then raise an error and leave others unchanged, better to check first so it changes everything or nothing.
- protecting the particle cache now actually protects the cache a bit better and not just prevent the clear button from working
- cache was being used for "none" physics.
- a bad tooltip for "reactor initial velocity"
