* Added Theme support for the console.
You can change:
-Header Color
-Text Color of Output, Input, Info and Error Messages. (Inside the User Preferences -> Themes)
The reverted code was just blindly restoring the old state of the keyframes; changes to selection state, value changes, handle type, etc. were overridden, and the cases where keyframes were deliberately retimed or otherwise were also ignored.
I'm not sure what problems these changes were meant to be solving, but will reassess the situation when I get more info on this.
and other operations the nla mapping would be applied to the curves, but not
restored correctly. The unmap function was not the inverse of the map function,
and it's not clear to me it's even possible to make it so due to repeat, so
now the old coordinates are backed up in a list and then restored afterwards.
Protect and Mute toggles now flush their values when changed, like for visibility, making the workflow a bit smoother. Currently, this only takes effect when clicking on the toggles (i.e. the hotkey+select based toggle setting operators don't take this into account yet).
A solid color backdrop is now drawn behind the mute/protect toggles and sliders, reducing the visual clutter with long names still appearing behind the UI widgets.
Restored the old Eyedropper tool from the 2.4 colour picker. Now it's an operator,
working nicely using rna properties (fixes#19475 and some todo items)
This ended up being a bit more work than expected, it involved converting the
colour picker to use RNA properties directly, rather than temporary values. This has
several advantages, including being able to type in RGB values greater than 1,
however there are still some redraw issues with sliders.
Also removed the alternate color pickers after this time spent testing, the current one
should be sufficient, or alternatives to the wheel can possibly become preferences
in the current design.
Converting the picker to RNA also made it very trivial to make a cool new
ColorWheel template, which can be embedded in UI layouts. I've enabled it already
in texture/vertex paint brush properties and the sequence editor color correction:
http://mke3.net/blender/devel/2.5/colorwheels.jpg
This changes how textures are accessed from Brushes, with the intention of simplifying
the workflow, and reducing the amount of clicking. Rather than the previous texture slots
(which didn't work as a stack anyway), brushes now have a single texture linked. Rather
than taking time having to set up your slots in advance, you can now select and change
textures directly as you sculpt/paint on the fly. For complex brushes, node textures can
be used, or for fast access, it's easy to make a duplicate of your brush with the texture
you like and assign a hotkey.
Brush textures can now be chosen from a new Textures panel in the brush tool
properties - click on the thumbnail to open a texture selector. This is done using a new
variation on the ID template - the number of rows and columns to display in the popup
can be customised in the UI scripts.
- account for parts of the line going off into infinity by making the stroke stretch between the last valid depth values (like an elastic band), if the endpoints are not over any geometry then use the closest valid depth.
is now just used to set the rotation property value during invoke.
This removes some reliance on 3d view info for non-interactive use, and also lets you specify
new object's locations/rotations explicitly when calling from Python.
Now, there are preset brushes made for each tool type (eg. for sculpt mode, Grab,
Draw, Inflate, etc), and the recommended method for changing sculpt tools is to
change between Brushes. The shortcut keys for changing between tools have
now been changed to change between named brushes - the G key in sculpt
mode now changes to any brush named 'Grab'.
The advantages of this are:
* Changing between brushes remembers the strength/size/texture etc settings for
each brush. This means that for example, you can draw with a strong textured
Clay brush, but then switch quickly to a weaker, untextured Smooth brush,
without having to re-do your settings each time.
* You can now add your own custom shortcut keys to your own custom brushes -
just add a keymap entry similar to the existing ones, that references your own
custom brush names.
To bring over these new default brushes to an existing B.blend setup, just
append them in from the new B.blend in svn.
* Mesh data/settings can now be animated. It is not recommended that geometry be animated directly, but other settings such as autosmooth, etc. can be...
* Code cleanups for depsgraph, making sure that drivers get included for all object data types.
* Moved 'change shortcut' (previously directly RMB on menu items) to a context-menu item, and added Remove Shortcut and Add Shortcut. This is all available now in a RMB context menu for operator buttons and menu entries.
* Renamed a bunch of key maps to be consistent with UI names, and human-readable. Since these key map names are now being directly used in the UI for people to find things, they should be understandable and in plain language.
This renaming may break some older saved key map setups - though previously saved .b25.blends should convert over ok. Exported .py files may need some find/replacing - in this commit check the changes in resources.c to see what's changed.
* Added function for F-Curves to find the F-Curves in a given list which affect some named data, such as bones, nodes, or sequence strips.
* Added a BezTriple offsetting callback to be used with the F-Curve+Keyframe loopers in use for many of the keyframe editing tools.
This commit brings back the functionality whereby the selection of F-Curves and/or relevant Group(s) is synced with the selection status of the corresponding bones when the bones are selected/deselected.
Until we have proper multi-object editing, this adds a Copy To Selected
option to the right mouse button menu for Object and Bone properties, to
copy the value from the active object to the selected objects.
Also includes some implementation changes to reset to default operator.
Added a new operator for properties which resets RNA-based settings to their 'default' values, as defined in RNA. This currently only works for floats, ints, enums, and booleans (strings and pointers still need to be implemented).
The current extensions to the RNA API that I've made here seem a bit excessive, and can be toned down if necessary. In short, I've just added accessor functions for the default-values of the property definitions.
For this to be really useful, many properties in RNA will need to get defaults defined, since the current defaults for quite a few properties tested were less than ideal.
Now the key maps are displayed in a hierarchical list which you can
browse through. As well as in the main list, modal key maps are also
available in context, for example, if you unfold out a Transform key
map item, you'll be able to fold out and access its modal key map underneath.
More work to do, including search, better operator browsing, etc.
Still need to revise the ordering/hierarchy and clean up naming to be
consistent too, it's a bit of an 'evolved' mess right now.
Thanks to theeth for some initial work here too.
Separated preview drawing into own ARegion, this should make using View2D possible
The Sequencer now has three view types: Sequencer, Preview and split Sequencer/Preview.
Changing the preview can be done either by the combobox in the header or toggling through those types with CTRL+TAB.
Notes:
* Icon for split Sequencer/Preview view missing still.
* Naming items in the comboboxes can be improved (just Preview instead of Image Preview?)
Next steps:
* bringing back View2D handling (zoom/pan) for image preview
* experimenting with splitting the Preview ARegion for In/Out editing
* Added a User-Pref option for the "XYZ to RGB" colour-mode setting for new F-Curves to compliment the one used for Keying Sets. With this option enabled, the builtin Keying Sets also can obey this option.
* Made all places that were previously manually checking the flags for keyframing to use a standard API function to do this now.
* Fixed bug introduced earlier today in commit 25353 by reverting the changes to keyingsets.c. Forgot that delete_keyframe doesn't handle do the "entire array" hack with array_index = -1
* Fixed bug with the insert-keyframe code for the array_index = -1 case, where too many channels were being keyed (i.e. an imaginary channel was often keyed in addition to the valid ones)
Added option to KeyingSets+Keyframing Functions which makes newly added F-Curves for Transforms + Colours to use the colour mode which uses the array index to determine the colour of the F-Curve.
The main implication of this is that when this option is enabled for a KeyingSet, all sets of XYZ F-Curves (i.e. location, rotation, scale) for transforms will be shown in Red/Green/Blue instead of some automatically determined "rainbow" colour. Useful for animators far too used to Maya's Graph Editor :P
This setting is named, "XYZ to RGB", though that doesn't make its purpose entirely clear.
* Added ANIM_list_elem_update and ANIM_id_update functions to call when
changing animation curves, which will then call the RNA property update
functions for those curves.
This is to replace just calling DAG_id_flush_update, that may not always
be the right thing to do, and doesn't send proper notifiers for redraw.
Still only used/usable when transforming in the graph editor, not sure
how this do this with NLA for example, .. needs to be improved.
* Added function wm_data_handle_update function to contain the object
update function, and also added scene animation update there. Actually
it should be doing all datablocks, this makes it work for sequencer.
Joshua, do you agree this is the right direction to go in? I can revert or
change the code if you think it should be done differently. Mainly wanted
to get this working well for sequencer now.
* Property update functions no longer get context, instead they get only
Main and Scene. The RNA api was intended to be as context-less as
possible, since it doesn't really matter who is changing the property,
everything that uses the property should be updated.
* There's still one exception case that use it now, screen operations
still depend on context too much. It also revealed a few places using
context where they shouldn't.
* Ideally Scene shouldn't be passed, but much of Blender still depends on
it, should be dropped when we try to support multiple scene editing.
Change was planned for a while, but need this now to be able to call
update without a context pointer.
Now, temp screens are hidden from being accessed directly, with a new 'Back to Previous' button appearing in place of the screen menu when (for example) fullscreen render image areas are present. Window type menus also get disabled here too, to prevent things from getting too mixed up.
Brecht, I added a Layout template function, template_dopesheet_filter -> uiTemplateDopeSheetFilter, this creates the group of buttons for filtering ID type (and some other options) for animation editors (Graph, NLA and Dopesheet). I hope this is all right, if not, we can move this maybe to a .py file as a function for reuse.
Did a lot of cleaning Object operator poll functions to check if the object's linked
or not. For this, added the function ED_operator_object_active_editable() as
opposed to ED_operator_object_active()
