Will use rotation gimbal axis when an object or bone set to Euler rotation mode is selected (global axis otherwise)
Use case: being able to do rotations that only affect one animation curve in the 3d view instead of just in the curve editor.
I'm committing this right now despite what follows because it's already useful as is.
Known bug: manipulator arrows can look slightly skewed (not really a big problem), but more importantly, rotation circles for the rotation manipulator are skewed and will not perfectly reflect the rotation axis (it will still use the correct one though). That will be fixed shortly.
To do: This orientation should act like Local, where each object/bone uses its own orientation and not just the one of the active object/bone.
Note: Saved files with custom orientations might end up with other orientations selected when being opened up. I don't think it's that useful to make a do_version for that, but I can if warranted.
I tried to make it integrate more with regular render but couldn't
do it well, it still needs a 3D view to take the settings from, and
can't run in a separate thread due to OpenGL.
However, it is now rendering to an offscreen buffer which then gets
displayed in the image window. This requires FBO's to be available, so
a fallback creating a new window is still needed. Currently available
from the Render menu in the top header.
-Continuous Grab is now on by default
-Opened scene panels by default
-Multiple new screens:
*Default (same as before)
*Animation
*Compositing
*Quad View
*Scripting
*UV Editing
*Video Editing
These have been inspired by other Open Movie artists, and their B.blends, including Nathan Vegdahl, Andy Goralczyk, and Bassam Kurdali. The new screens are designed to make optimal use of the new 2.5 UI, and expose newer areas like the compositor, new animation editors and console.
Boolean settings now use TOG instead of ICONTOG when they have icons, since ICONTOG was causing too much trouble with icons changing when they shouldn't be. Perhaps in future there should be some flag for specifying from RNA/UI-Layouts which one you want, but for now, this will do.
Reverting r23936 since that fix depended on ICONTOG behaviour.
* AutoKeying was broken after the fix to get automerge working again in 3D view. The 3D-View check was swallowing the processing before autokeying could be done. Separated these out again.
* The error print when some external data couldn't be found for objects was missing a newline.
* Extrude and Duplicate for Armatures now use proper macros instead of manually calling transform themselves. This means that repeating these operators now works properly.
** NOTE: there's a bug with macros now which prevents the 'forked' extrude operator working correctly. Bug report filed for this.
* Included the proper operators for extrude and duplicate in the toolbar + menus. The operators used there did not activate transform, which meant that users often could not tell that the operation had occurred at all.
This first part of the fix makes it possible to animate ramp settings by making sure that the paths for ramps and their elements can be determined. While the code for constructing the path to the ramps is relatively simple, the code for the elements is a bit more involved :/
However, this commit only fixes the paths, but most of the ramp settings still cannot be keyframed directly from the UI buttons/widgets (i.e. from Material/Texture buttons) since the buttons still use the old layouts.
* There's an unresolved error in transform_conversions.c which I've flagged in this commit. I'm not quite sure what the exact intentions of that code were (i.e. was the "void_pointer = 1" really intended)
- Generated and uploaded api docs - http://www.blender.org/documentation/250PythonDoc
- Added Edit docs menu item & operators as discussed with Mindrones, Brecht, Stani & Letterip @ bconf, needs some web backend. python operator can aparently use xml/rpc to upload docstrings.
- Added operator invoke function - context.manager.invoke_props_popup(self.__operator__, event)
this calls a popup for invoke by default (which intern calls execute())
- Own recent commit to game framing applied to non-camera views too.
- v3d->persp is deprecated but still used in some places.
- Transforming strips could overlap 1 frame if moving them below frame 0
- Transforming overlapping strips could go into an eternal loop (though overlapping strips should not exist)
The previous order is correct, the new order forced all global scale on local axis (in object mode).
The "problem" with scaling (or mirroring) in object mode along an axis that is not aligned along one of the local axis is that the result has to be decomposed (as best it can by TransMat3ToSize) into scaling factors along local axis. The more axis aligned the object is, the more "correct" it will look, with the worse being a scale along two local axis when the scaling axis is right between them.
One "solution" could be to make all Mirror transform in object mode work on local axis only (but I don't think that would be correct, since it still works correctly on aligned axis).
Coded a 'path' getter for Texture Slots. This was a bit more involved than for other paths, since texture slots used the names of the textures assigned, which would be troublesome when a texture got used twice or more.
I've made this a separate operator to Make Parent, since the two were signficantly different (this version only works for Objects, and doesn't care about other types of parenting).
* #19727: Noise modifier does nothing with size 1.0
When the 'Size' and 'Phase' parameters were both 1.0 exactly, and evaltime was an integer (as is the case when doing animation evaluation but not for Graph Editor drawing), the noise calculation function was bailing out. Now, the 'z' component supplied to this function is a decimal value (hardcoded to 0.1 after experimentation) to try and avoid this situation.
* Graph Editor 'Bake' operator was using wrong poll callback, making it useless when trying to use it on a F-Curve that only has modifiers on it (i.e. the main use case of the operator!)
- use Cocoa function to convert keys character value to isoLatin-1 encoding instead of the translation table. Works better with international keyboards
- enable stereo GL option
- fix source/creator CMake file to remove unneeded folders in the app bundle (the __MACOSX stuff). (Thx jensverwiebe)
Fixes for these were provided by the submitter, Clark Tucker (ctucker_toc). Thanks!
- #19724: Fix for problems with lasso select with 'occlude background geometry' turned off. Removed a duplicate call to ED_view3d_init_mats_rv3d().
(NOTE: I couldn't reproduce the error on my system, but the duplicate call does look rather fishy. Removing it doesn't seem to have any negative effects at least)
- #19725: Lasso select does not update 'selected vertex count' in 'INFO bar'. Added a notifier here to get the counter refreshed.
* Restored the Grease Pencil tools to the toolbar
Probably, if the reason they were commented out before was so that the repeat stuff is visible, we can swap the order of those two. Otherwise, it's good to have somewhere for the operators now (so that the hotkeys can be found)
* Hotkey displays in the tooltips now show the keymodifier too
For example, "D LeftMouse" or "Ctrl D LeftMouse" for the Grease Pencil operators, instead of just "LeftMouse" or "Ctrl LeftMouse".
