restore, would not get their dependencies updated when they became visible.
It happend with a shrinkwrap modifier in these reports, but could happen with
other modifiers too.
Now we keep track of which layers have ever been updated since load, and tag
objects on them to be recalculated when they become visible.
this is useful for the register() class method which is called before the class gets structRNA assigned.
eg:
class MyClass(bpy.types.PropertyGroup):
@classmethod
def register(cls):
cls.name = StringProperty() # assigned but registration is delayed.

The export was not really wrong, but Maya expects their profile to be present inside <geometry>. Added this for mesh with ME_TWOSIDED flag set.
Ideally this will change in the future to be controllable through options to the exporter (like current Google Earth and 3DS Max extensions for <double_sided>).

Export <specular> for <phong> and <blinn> shaders, <shininess> was already being written for these.
<lambert> shader doesn't have <shininess>.
Right now we write <phong> when blender spec is phong, <blinn> when blender spec is blinn. When spec is
any other shader, and diffuse shader set to lambert, we export as <lambert>. Any other combination defaults
right now to <phong>. This will change when Blender specific profiles have been created for the shader
combinations in Blender.
* Adding keyword arguments to LibLoad
- load_actions (Default: False) Ensures that all actions are loaded. Otherwise, just actions used by objects in the scene are loaded.
- verbose (Default: False) Turns on extra prints (eg SceneName: MyScene).
* Also making error reporting better for when an invalid group/idcode is given.
move calls to the classes register/unregister function into register_class() / unregister_class() and add docs.
also other minor changes:
- remove face sorting keybinding, was Ctrl+Alt+F, this is quite and obscure feature and face order normally doesn't matter, so access from Face menu is enough.
- add commented out call to mesh.validate() in addon template since its useful to correct incomplete meshes during development.
Using environment map type "load" increased user counter on each
preview render.
Also noticed that this type of envmap use wasn't threadsafe, causing
imbufs being allocated for all threads. Also fixed that.
* Particle emission now updates all parent objects too to the exact emission time.
* This only does object level animation as updating the object data for every particle would be too slow.
* A better fix could be to interpolate the emission location directly from the current particle emission location and the location from the previous frame, but for this some point cache changes have to be made, so it will have to wait.
weighted normals as the render engine, and the render engine will copy
normals from the mesh rather than always recalculating them.
Subsurf/multires still use regular vertex normals, but they are expected
to be sufficiently high resolution to not need this.
This means that normal maps displayed in the viewport actually match the
render engine exactly and don't have artifacts due to this discrepancy.
It of course also avoids unexpected surprises where your render normals
look different than your viewport normals.
Subversion bumped to 4 for version patch to recalculate normals.
Patch by Morten Mikkelsen, with some small changes.
