Number of start frame in opened image sequence used to be distinguished automatically
in a way that file name used on open would be displayed at scene frame #1.
But sometimes it's useful to have it manually configurable (like in cases when you're
processing image sequence and replacing clip's filepath to postprocessed image sequence
and want new clip to show at the same frame range as it was rendered from).
Added Custom Start Frame flag to movie clip (could be accessed from Footage panel in
clip editor) and Start Frame which means number of frame from sequence which would
be displayed at scene frame #1.
For example if you've got clip pointing to file render_00100.png and Start Frame of 100
this file would be displayed at scene frame #1, if Start Frame is 1 then this image
would be displayed at scene frame #100,
The issue was caused by CDDM_tessfaces_to_faces not dealing with CD layers.
There was already function BKE_mesh_convert_mfaces_to_mpolys which converted
mfaces to mpolys with converting all CD layers. Made it a bit more general so
it might work with given arrays of faces/polys and re-used it from CDDM module.
Checked with UV and sculpt data from Blender 2.61 and it loaded nice, so
hopefully there's no regressions in loading older files.
Added new flag to Imageuser which indicates whether user frame calculation is needed.
This flag is getting set in BKE_image_signal and handled in actual image usage areas
where both image user and current frame is known.
Some operators like curve presets, color sample and some more were using object's
mode to distinguish in which mode user is currently painting. Such approach fails
in cases when there's paint mode active in 3D viewport and Image Editor.
Changed logic here to use some context's state like active space which helps
distinguishing current paint mode more accurate.
Ported all areas which uses paint_get_active() to new paint_get_active_from_context().
There're still some calls to paint_get_active(), but that shouldn't be harmful due
to that places indeed have object's mode as priority when getting paint mode.
Colors used by Bone Groups are now copied/assigned to Action Groups too when
they're created now. This completes the work started in r.46960 to restore this
functionality from 2.48.
Currently, there is no control over when/whether these colors are copied over
(although it is possible to disable the display of these colors for relevant
animation editors if desired). Originally I was going to make this a more
generic Keying Sets feature, though that turned out to be a bit too complex to
manage.
Other notes:
* Split out the code for copying colors to a common library function
By holding shift and "cutting" a node link a new reroute helper node can be inserted. This consists of a single socket that can be used to insert additional connection points into a link. This can be used to keep a connection point in the tree when deleting a node, or to control the path of long connections for layout cleanup.
It also changes multi-paint's "zero weight color" to black again--it was unintentionally changed to red some time late last year when an aspect of the colors were changed.
========================
The linear and angular thresholds set the speed limit (in m/s) and rotation limit (in rad/s)
under which a rigid body will go to sleep (stop moving) if it stays below the limits for a
time equal or longer than the deactivation time (sleeping is disabled is deactivation time is
set to 0).
These settings help reducing the processing spent on Physics during the game.
Previously they were only accessible from python but not working because of a bug.
Now the python functions are working and the settings are available in the Physics panel
of the World settings when using the Blender Game render engine.
Python API:
import PhysicsConstraints
PhysicsConstraints.setDeactivationLinearTreshold(float)
PhysicsConstraints.setDeactivationAngularTreshold(float)
* Remove all code for Texture and Sequencer plugin system, this never worked in 2.5x / 2.6x and is therefore not needed anymore.
* DNA structures are kept, all read/writefile code is gone.
===============================================
This patch adds a new "Character" BGE physics type which uses Bullet's btKinematicCharacter for simulation instead of full-blown dynamics. It is appropiate for (player-controlled) characters, for which the other physics types often result unexpected results (bouncing off walls, sliding etc.) and for which simple kinematics offers much more precision.
"Character" can be chosen like any other physics type in the "Physics" section of the properties window. Current settings for tweaking are "Step Height" (to make the object automatically climb small steps if it collides with them), "Fall Speed" (the maximum speed that the object can have when falling) and "Jump Speed", which is currently not used.
See http://projects.blender.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=127&aid=28476&group_id=9
for sample blends and a discussion on the patch: how to use it and what influences the behavior of the character object.
Known problem: there is a crash if the "compound" option is set in the physics panel of the Character object.
When in material display mode, mesh_calc_modifiers() calculates the
orco DerivedMesh, which uses a different CustomDataMask. In
particular, it does not necessarily include the current modifier's
requiredDataMask, so those layers might get set to NO_COPY. For the
skin modifier, this resulted in a crash when the modifier internally
copies the DerivedMesh and the output does not contain the expected
MVertSkin layer.
Fixed by adding the requiredDataMask to the orco DM's CustomDataMask.
Also added a debugging function to customdata.c:
customData_mask_layers__print(CustomDataMask mask);
This will print out the names of all the CD layer types in the mask.
a) Another boundary fix. Resulted in smoke getting "sucked" back into the domain
b) Disabling substeps (internal thing). Fixes arbitrary explosions/instabilities.
