This also adds a special Embedding option called "Peel Objects". This option makes the embedding snap consider objects as whole, taking the first and last hit of each of them to calculate the embedding point (instead of peeling with first/second, third/fourth and so on). This option is useful if you have mecanical pieces with lots of details (as single objects) and want to put bones in the middle (think of adding bones to a mecha, for example).
Display the number of joints in the selected template in the sketch panel
When using selected bones as template, turn off Connected if bone has a parent that is not copied.
Calculate new roll based on the angle to the normal of the joint (cross produce of the two bones).
This works best in some cases but not in others, so it's an option for now.
I'll have to see if I can iron the left over kinks, then it can be made the default (with Align to view an added option).
Fix the roll mess in transform. Since roll is based on an automatically calculated up axis, transforming bones would mess up bone orientation. This code automatically adjusts the roll value to keep bone orientation as consistant as possible. That works all around in transform for all transformations.
Doesn't work with x-axis mirror though as that doesn't use transform elements (fixing it would be nice for later)
Most interesting is that it works with the mirror tool (obviously), so you don't have to fix all the rolls after mirroring one side of an armature.
It could be made an option if someone presents a good enough point for that, but I can't see why you'd want the previous mess instead.
NB: this also ports a utility fonction from etch-a-ton to set bone roll from an up axis.
Robin (Frrr) Allen did a decent job on this, so we can also welcome him
as a member in the svn committers team to maintain it!
I do the first commit with some minor fixes:
- get Makefiles work
- fix rounding issue with tiles on unit faces
- removed UI includes from tex node
A nice doc in wiki is here:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Frr/TexnodeManual
On the todo for Robin is:
- When using one or more Texture-input nodes, you cannot edit them by activating
(as works now for Material nodes).
- The new "output node" option fails on the default case, when only one
output node is active. It then shows often a blank menu. Will get fixed asap.
- When using a NodeTree-Texture as input node, the menu for 'active output'
should not show. NodeTree should ignore other nodetrees to keep things sane
for now.
- On a future todo is proper usage of "Dxt" and "Dyt" texture vectors for
superior antialising of checkers/bricks.
General note; I know people are dying to get a full integrated shader system
with nodes. In theory we could merge this with Material Nodetrees... but I
rather wait for a solid and very well thought out design proposal for this,
also including design ideas for unifying with a shader language (GPU, CPU).
For the time being this is a nice extension of current textures. :)
This commit adds an exception for rotations (standard rotation and tracball) to still work on children of transformed objects and bones in an expected fashion. That is, you can select a chain of finger bones and rotate to flex them all at once.
Notes:
[1] This could be expended to other transformations if needed.
[2] Center of transformation is determined using the same principle as hinge bones (transformed children aren't taken into account)
First pass for retargetting template's renaming magic. For now, in new retargetted bone's name: %S (side) and %N (number) will be replaced by user defined strings.
Will need to experiment on how useful that is and how it could be better.
Moving stuff home, saving doesn't work ok yet, will finish this later today, demo video when done.
Also a couple of bug fixes for crashing and some text reformulation and the like.
Use stroke normal to align roll of the retargetted bones.
Unlike stroke conversion, the final roll is not forced to point exactly to the normal. Rather, It tries to align the X or Z axis of the bones (whichever is closest) to the stroke normal. Forcing the roll can invert knees while this rightly only makes one of the joints rotation axis perpendicular.
* #17900 - IK Constraint was not included regardless of what Visual-Keying method was used
* Deleting a Bone Group now corrects indices of those groups that occurred after the one that was deleted
* No more click-a-mania - Delete all vertex groups from a Mesh (Ctrl-Shift-G menu)
When turned on, edit mode armature act as usual, but LMB can be directly used to paint strokes or poly lines which will be directly converted to bones once ended (with RMB).
Esc now cancels the current stroke instead of ending it (more useful with quick strokes).

- Delete Sketch button
- During continuous strokes, when moving out from and back into an embeding, interpolate depth of the stroke like is done when snapping
* Fix for #17808: Can't compile using SunCC - gpencil.c uses DOS line endings.
Added some svn-properties on gpencil files and also keyframing ones that I added, so that this shouldn't be a problem anymore.
* In Node Editor, it is now possible to close an open Grease Pencil panel when there is no node-tree being shown (i.e. after switching between node editing modes)
Left Click and drag for continuous strokes, left click for exact points, Right click to end strokes.
The view can be manipulated while drawing a stroke (between exact point).
Sketching is turned on all the time, this is mainly useful for testing, do not use seriously, nothing is saved, it gives memory errors on exit, yada yada
* Separated duplicate methods out into several functions
* Added copy/paste for gp-frames in Action Editor. Only strokes that are appropriate for the spacetype that the destination layer belongs to will be added to avoid wasted memory usage. Otherwise, was impossible to move sketches between views/layers (which was intended for PyAPI access that didn't get done).
Note: there will currently still be an extra gp-frame created, even if the current no strokes got pasted. There's commented out code which would delete it, but somehow that causes errors, so better to be safe for now.
Replaced the method used in to check if there's a keyframe on the current frame, when drawing the active object name / frame number info with this new code.
- It should in theory be faster than the previous code, as it doesn't have to build an entire list everytime of all keyframes, and also uses more efficient search method.
- Added some settings to control what sources of animation data are used (per 3d-view). Can be found in the View Properties panel.
This should be stable... release builders should ignore this commit for now (to avoid having differences between release candidates).
* subsurf code had a lot of unused variables, removed these where they are obviously not needed. commented if they could be useful later.
* some variables declorations hide existing variables (many of these left), but fixed some that could cause confusion.
* removed unused vars
* obscure python memory leak with colorband.
* make_sample_tables had a loop running wasnt used.
* if 0'd functions in arithb.c that are not used yet.
* made many functions static
* out of sync text dosnt automatically popup a menu anymore since it was too easy to click on it without intending to, moved this to an alert button on the header.
* "_" character was acting as a delimiter, but in python its not.
* renamed "File" to "Text" (so as not to confuse with blenders file menu)
* added redraw_alltext function to remove many duplicate loops where every text display is redrawn.
Now auto-keyframing can be enabled/disabled per scene (with the insertion mode also stored per scene). The flags used when insertng keyframes are still stored in the user-prefs.
New scenes have their auto-keyframing settings initialised from the user-preferences.
* Tidied up code a bit to remove an extra var declaration that may have been causing problems with Visual Keying
* Added buttons to Insert/Delete keyframes from current frame into Timeline header. Note that it preferentially works will insert keyframes for a 3d-view (if it exists), otherwise it "should" take the largest area available.

This patch adds the CTRL-ALT-A hotkey to align bones in armature edit mode.
It works the same way as parenting: selected bones will be aligned with active bone, if only one bone is selected it
will be aligned with its parent (if any)
Thanks!
Just getting rid of license_key stuff.
The project files still need to be updated:
projectfiles_vc7/blender/src/BL_src_cre.vcproj
projectfiles_vc7/blender/blendercompactNG.vcproj
Just search for these files in them.
