- from all selected nodes
- only connections between highest order socket types; so if there's RGBA
and Value sockets, only RGBA sockets are connected. This because in
these cases the Value sockets usually are for user input.
Example: Mix node.
Thanks Trip for the hint!
* Now it is possible to invert the selection status of keyframes and markers.
These options can only be found in the Select menu in the header.
* It is also possible to select the keyframes that occur within the 2
'extreme' selected markers. Hotkey for this is Ctrl K
Now it is possible to column select keyframes that occur on the
same frame as selected markers with the hotkey: SHIFT K
More selection goodies to come :-)
http://projects.blender.org/pipermail/bf-committers/2006-November/016311.html
As recommended on bf-committers, I created an entirely separate section for
sculptmode hotkeys, so none of the standard hotkeys in space.c carry over.
(However, the standard hotkeys in toets.c are left unchanged.)
There are probably some useful hotkeys that have been disabled with this commit,
and other hotkeys that still need to be added, so this needs review.
Modified version of patch #5281 by Joshua Leung.
It's a two part patch:
Add a Roll button in the transform properties floating panel with bones selected in edit mode
Add a Roll transform (Ctrl-R) that can be used to modify the roll of selected bones in edit mode
The transformation modifies the roll of all selected bones incrementally (like a rotation does to the bones' rotation) [that is the part that differs from the patch. The patch would set the same roll value to all bones]
Also, this commit includes some shuffling around of the functions, to keep the previously logical order. :)
Now it is possible to mirror selected keyframes in the action editor;
either over the current frame or the vertical axis.
Hotkey is: SHIFT M (like in ipo editor).
ACTWIDTH is a macro that tries to get actwidth from the active
SpaceAction (G.saction->actwidth). This should solve any potential
problems with having two action editors open editing shapekey
actions.
Also, I've fixed a compiler warning caused by erwin's constraint
commit. Wrong ui call for button.
Now time-markers work in all time-related spaces (i.e. Ipo,
Action Editor, NLA editor, TimeLine, Sound). The hotkeys and
functionality set should be the same for each of these modes
(with a few exceptions still). I've had to change a few hotkeys
here and there, so hopefully they aren't too bad.
Marker Operations:
MKEY - Add Marker
SHIFT MKEY - Rename marker (was CTRL MKEY)
XKEY - Delete Marker
PAGE UP - Jump to next marker
PAGE DOWN - Jump to previous marker
CTRL A - Select all markers
SHIFT G - Transform markers (NLA, IPO, Action)
G - Transform markers (Sound, Timeline)
CTRL SHIFT D - Duplicate markers (NLA, IPO, Action)
SHIFT D - Duplicate markers (Sound, Timeline)
BKEY - select markers and other keyframes (if any)
I've also made a few little tool additions to NLA and Action editors:
* NLA editor - Snap To Frame.
Now with the option to offset strip so that it starts at the current frame.
Added menus for this.
* Action editor - Snap To Frame
A few new menus for this too
Although we will delay the main Rigid Body user interface after 2.43 release early 2007, I need some constraint data/UI to make progress with COLLADA Physics.
Added RigidBody constraint UI
LR_ALTKEY+LR_CTRLKEY+LR_SHIFTKEY+ P will bake rigidbody

center, rotated according to face edges, and optionally with scale of the
face.
http://www.blender3d.org/cms/Face_Duplicator.828.0.html
Also: bugfix in undo/redo for relinking data to the UI. It was not checking
for Library data, accidentally linking non-library data with same names.
This adds the ability to restrict an individual object from:
- being visible in the 3D View
- being selectable in the 3D View
- being renderable
with 3 columns of buttons in the outliner.
These restrictions are further down the hierarchy than layers, so for example if an object is in an invisible layer, it will be invisible regardless of whether the object's own visibility setting is on or off. This works on a different conceptual level than layers, being better for more quick interaction (like temporarily making a mesh unselectable while you're posing its armature), rather than so much for scene organisation.
The 3 columns of icons can be turned off in the Outliner View menu.
Along with this is some small cleaning up in interface_icons.c and outliner.c.
All data layers, including MVert/MEdge/MFace, are now managed as custom
data layers. The pointers like Mesh.mvert, Mesh.dvert or Mesh.mcol are
still used of course, but allocating, copying or freeing these arrays
should be done through the CustomData API.
Work in progress documentation on this is here:
http://mediawiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/BlenderArchitecture/CustomData
Replaced TFace by MTFace:
This is the same struct, except that it does not contain color, that now
always stays separated in MCol. This was not a good design decision to
begin with, and it is needed for adding multiple color layers later. Note
that this does mean older Blender versions will not be able to read UV
coordinates from the next release, due to an SDNA limitation.
Removed DispListMesh:
This now fully replaced by DerivedMesh. To provide access to arrays of
vertices, edges and faces, like DispListMesh does. The semantics of the
DerivedMesh.getVertArray() and similar functions were changed to return
a pointer to an array if one exists, or otherwise allocate a temporary
one. On releasing the DerivedMesh, this temporary array will be removed
automatically.
Removed ssDM and meshDM DerivedMesh backends:
The ssDM backend was for DispListMesh, so that became obsolete automatically.
The meshDM backend was replaced by the custom data backend, that now figures
out which layers need to be modified, and only duplicates those.
This changes code in many places, and overall removes 2514 lines of code.
So, there's a good chance this might break some stuff, although I've been
testing it for a few days now. The good news is, adding multiple color and
uv layers should now become easy.
Here's the full release log with example file.
http://www.blender3d.org/cms/Render_Baking.827.0.html
For people who don't read docs; just press ALT+CTRL+B on a Mesh
with texture faces!
Todos:
- maybe some filter options extra?
- Make normal maps in Tangent space
- now draws on correct height
- selection is clipped correctly (did entire height)
- made showing scene markers default
Actually this implementation should have been a patch review... it was
done with entirely duplicating the code from timeline.c, whilst re-use
and generalizing markers has a preference. That way markers can become
supported in any time-based editor.
Will send an extensive review to Joshua Leung :)
and also fixes some further segfaults.
Now it is possible to 'surf' (jump) to different markers. This is only
possible through the hotkeys for this:
* Page Up - Next Marker
* Page Down - Previous Marker
These hotkeys match the ones in the timeline. In order to do so,
I've had to reassign two (rarely used/obscure) hotkeys:
* 'Ctrl Page Up' is now move selected action channel up (was Page Up)
* 'Ctrl Page Down' is no move selected action channel down (was Page Down)
I should also mention here that
* 'Shift Page Up' is move action channel to top
* 'Shift Page Down' is move action channel to bottom
- Weight paint options now also show in Nkey panel
- added uiNewPanelTitle() in interface API to rename panels. In use now
for the Nkey panel title.
(Note: original name is identifier, do not change that)
* There is now a feature to (de)select all markers. Can be found in menu or
via the hotkey Ctrl A
* The 'Markers' menu is now not drawn when marker set is 'None'
* Some other minor code cleanups
Additional Notes:
* I'm still trying to track down the cause of a bug which means that you can't
select more than one marker (with RMB clicks) at once. For now, just use
borderselect
Added a simple check to a number of editing operations. If multires is enabled,
an error is displayed and the operation is cancelled. This includes adding and
deleting verts/edges/faces, and anything that would reorder elements.
A Plumiferos wishlist item: Markers working in the Action Editor too.
* The user can choose between displaying the scene markers (i.e. the
markers shown in the timeline) or the markers specific to each action,
by using the next list box on the action editor header. This is specific
to each instance of the action editor.
* The display of the markers currently still needs improvement. At the
moment, the triangle icons + text are drawn below all the last row of
keyframes. As such, I've made it draw yellow vertical lines which
span the height of the action editor, to also indicate markers.
Comments on this and also help getting the triangle thingies to 'float'
above the bottom scroll bar are warmly appreciated.
* There are a few minor update issues with editing a marker in the
timeline and the markers in the action editor which will be fixed soon.
* There are also a few hotkeys to still add.
Enjoy!
Prob: selection sometimes gave wrong edges/faces
Selection code for editmesh was still using a short for calculating the
distance of a projected vertex/edge/face from the mouse position. In
zoomed in cases that'll give overflows and unpredictable results.
It was fixed only half before... now all shorts are removed for distance
calculus.
- Now works on selection of Objects (as do allmost all hotkeys)
- If multiple selected have different settings, it sets all the same
- Also does subsurf settings within a dupli-group
* IPO Curve Smoothing:
This new tool smoothes (i.e. resets the adjusts) the handles on selected
ipo curves in ipo editor. The core code is based upon a python script
that used to do this (author unknown).
- Available from menus
- Hotkey Shift O
- Only available from ipo editor
If the usefulness of this tool is limited (adding bloat), I will consider removing it.
now, others can be added later (sticky, shape keys). Beside one small fix
for knife exact vertex group interpolation, is intended to work the same
as before.
Also fixes bug #5200, related to editmode undo and vertex groups. And
corrects the editmode to faceselect mode selection conversion, that was
broken in a previous commit.
Major sequencer rewrite to add Speed Control effect.
Changes:
- Cleaned up large parts of sequence.c removing a lot of unnecessary code.
(We first built old seqar array to decide, what is visible, then build
dependencies with new code, then used old code to iterate through the
strips and deciding using new code what is used and so forth and so on...)
Should be much faster now.
- Now we build the strips recursively thereby elemenating the need of a
seperate dependency calculation.
- Added a Speed-Control effect to change strip speed afterwards.
(Offers global speed as well as IPO-controlled speed.
There are several modes to play with:
- Control by velocity (IPO = velocity where 1.0 is normal speed)
- Control by frame number (IPO = target frame)
- IPO-Value can be rescaled to frame-value, to make frame exact matching
possible. (Matching video tracks to audio tracks with IPOs ;-)
Demo-Blend file is here http://peter.schlaile.de/blender/sequencer/speedcontroltest.blend
Since this was also a Plumiferos request I hope to be mentioned in the
credits ;-)
Enjoy! And please test the new sequencer thoroughly. It is really more like
a rewrite this time.
THE OBJECT PROXY
Or simple said; local control of referenced data from libraries.
Having library files with references is a very common studio setup, and
Blender did do quite well in that area. Were it not that for character
setups it was impossible to use still.
This commit will enable a full rig+character to remain in the library,
and still have - under strict control - local access for animation edits.
Full log:
http://www.blender3d.org/cms/Proxy_Objects.824.0.html
the CustomData module from the modifier stack rewrite, but with additions
to make it also usable in edit mode. Some of the datatypes from that
module were move to a DNA header file, they are not saved to file now, but
will be soon.
The only code that wasn't abstracted is the uv collapse / merging code. It
is rather complicated, will look into that in the future.
There should be no user level changes.
This adds support for "generator effect strips", which don't need necessarily
an input strip and my version of Matt Ebb's [ #5035 ] 'Solid Color'
sequence strip.
TODO: With a little bit more tweaking it will be possible to make animated
effect plugins and my still unfinished "Bake"-Strip.
For the 'Solid Color'-Effect, to quote Matt:
This is nice and simple, just provides a solid colour that's set in a colour picker in the properties popup. This is something we've needed for a long time, and I got totally sick of having to make 'black.png' and 'white.png' just to do fades, so I coded this.
Added enhancements by blendix (Patch #4919: Insert sequence effect between)
It adds the following things:
- You can add a sequence strip afterwards in the middle of an effect chain
(you have to move strips around before, so that there is "room" for it.
Blender will ask you then, if you want to add in between or after the
selected strips)
- In the case you messed it up and want your effect strips to be reassigned in
a different way, there is the new "R"-key. Just select three arbitrary
strips and press "R". If you don't create a cycle, those will be connected
to a new effect chain.
- Fixed freeing of imbufs on changes to properly take into account dependencies. An example of a simple case that went wrong is one image strip with two
glow effects, changing the parameters of the first glow strip will not
result in any updates. Basically only direct dependencies were taken into
account, which resulted in the image preview not being updated in some cases.
- Let the sequencer detect an active sequence strip if none is defined, to
get rid of annoying error messages when trying to add an effect to a
selected sequence strip right after loading a file.
- Delete is less destructive. If you delete somewhere between other strips,
Blender now tries to relink in a reasonable way.
- The active sequence strip is now displayed with a light instead of a dark
outline, which makes it easier to spot, and is especially useful for the
tools using the active sequence strip.
- Ability to view the final result when editing inside meta strip.
The channel button was modified to also allow negative numbers,
where -n is n levels up the meta stack. There is probably a nicer way to
specify this, instead of (ab)using the channel button, but this seems to
work quite efficient.
- Also a small bugfix: don't crash on loading files from newer versions with
an unknown effect strip.
#5061 - Ipo/Action 'Cleaning'
#5071 - 'Only Needed' Keyframing Option
====================
* IPO/Action 'Cleaning':
It removes un-necessary keyframes from individual ipo curves.
- In both editors, the hotkey is currently the OKEY. Also accesable from menus of each editor.
- There is currently a 'threshold' popup. This sets the value that the cleaner uses to determine if two keys have same time/value
There are a few improvements that could still be made, such as:
- There are a few cases that it still doesn't handle yet, such as when un-needed keyframes lie on a linear line (and similiar cases). This shall be improved soon.
- Also, for some reason, after running cleaning while in ipo editor editmode, all but the active curve are hidden.
====================
* 'Only Needed' Keyframing Option:
This patch adds a new keyframing option for objects and bones. It only adds keyframes where they are needed, judging from the surrounding points on that curve.
Notes about this keyframing option:
- Works like the existing 'Avail' option, except it checks if the keyframe
is needed.
- Currently uses hardcoded threshold for determining if same value.
[quote]
/* Cases where keyframes should not be added:
* 1. Keyframe to be added bewteen two keyframes with similar values
* 2. Keyframe to be added between two keyframes with similar times
* 3. Keyframe lies at point that intersects the linear line between two
keyframes

Enable to use Xkey or DEL for deleting objects in outliner.
Note: there's reasons to be a bit reluctant with extensions like this.
Mostly related to the fact that outliner operations is completely unfinished
still. We need to spend time on thinking over how it should evolve, and
based on that the proper hotkeys and menus can be added as well.
This enables finding data in the Outliner.
Usage: Fkey (partial strings), CTRL+Fkey (partial strings, case sensitive).
SHIFT+Fkey to repeat a search, this cycles around.
Extra changes:
- button popups to enter strings now starts activated.
- outliner either shows for Armature the Bones, or Posechannels or
Editbones, depending the mode. Was needed to make searches meaningful.
Although Joshua did very good work on the key functions, there were a couple
of issues in his code, and problems in Outliner code, that didn't make it
all work nicely. So, this is quite a revised patch. :)
Full review log can be found in the patch tracker.
This patch adds a new option to the separate menu in editmode, 'By Material'.
It simply loops through all materials in the mesh selects the faces associated
with them and calls separate().
Thanks to Andrea Weikert for the patch!
Four more selection options in Curve editing;
- select more/less (ctrl+numpadplus/minus)
- select first/last point
All nice in menus and toolbox even!
Patch note: had to fix bugs in using 'continue' inside of while() loops.
Turned all oldstyle while() in for() for going over lists.
