* SVG export support (thanks to Jarod's patch in the tracker)
* Faster tga export (from Jarod's patch too)
* Fixes from the review thread and the wiki:
** No longer adds the extension (tga or svg) if already there
** Adds the object name in between the filename and extension (and not after the extension if it was already present)
** Renamed options here and there.
Until now, pressing ALT-A in a sequencer space without image preview was
pretty useless: It only showed an advancing green frame pointer :)
Now, if you press ALT-A over a sequencer space with strips, it will also
animate all sequence previews. So, no need to press SHIFT-ALT-A in that
situation anymore.
Of course, pressing ALT-A over a preview will still only play that preview.
Windows other than sequencer windows remain unaffected by this commit.
- Image Node: after loading new file it didn't update the header name
- File-out Node: header color suggested there was only 1 'active', which
it isn't.
Mist option and "Ray Transp" didn't work together yet. Transparency
during tracing should not be influenced with mist though (as is for
Ztransp), so for this case an extra color blending after raytrace is
added. Still pretty primitive... mostly because mist isn't volumetric
in Blender at all... just an alpha trick.
rewritten the code (less code now) so that it is more useful, and
doesn't just duplicate the functionality of another feature.
Now, IPO smooth works only on the selected keyframes in
selected frames. It finds the average value of all the selected
keyframes, and finds the halfway point between each keyframe
value and this average value. Handles are also automatically set
to 'aligned'.
* 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.
Autosmooth didn't copy additional texture coordinates such as sticky
correctly. This was part of the vertex struct in 2.41 and older, but it
became dynamic in 2.42.
One of the annoying things in Blender was that the UV Faceselect mode
immediately forced the object to draw 'Textured', mimicing how the game
engine could show it. For modeling and texturing workflow not optimal.
UV FaceSelect mode now draws textured & default lighted, if the view is
set to 'Solid'. Switch view to 'Textured' to see again what the game
engine could draw (which is using real lamps, and the per-face lighted
flag).
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 VRML97 exporter was rounding a lot of stuff to three decimal points.
This is silly, since the spec says single-precision floats are used for
most things, which gives about 7 decimal points precision.
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.
1. UI review -> disabeling options when not available .. giving hints why ( even tried to give usefull tooltips )
1.1 give some more user control to the solving process (mins,maxs).. optional feedback on the console
2. replacing ugly object level 'sumohandle' with SB (private runtime) level/pointer 'scratch'
which holds runtime data like cached collider data and more .. and it's thread save this way :)
3.related no 2. write a 'private' history of collision objects to ease the 'fast' collider tunneling syndrome'
4. some <clean> optimizations, 3-BSP for self collision, general AABB checking before ever going to collision details
5. some <dirty> ( in the sense of do some inacurate physics noone ever will see ) little tricks to make things faster .. ..fuzzy collision situation bypass .. forward collision resolution
Made them use the new the two new math functions I've added in arith.c (in
various patches) - Mat4ToEul and LocEulSizeToMat4 - cutting down on the
amount of code reuse.
