Usage: In weight paint mode, select the mesh to have its weights culled. Click on "Limit Weights" button. A sub-panel will appear "Limit Number of Vertex Weights" with a slider field "Limit" which you can set to the appropriate level. The default level is 4, and it gets executed upon pressing "Limit Weights" so you will need to do an "undo" if your max bone limit is above 4. The checkbox "All Deform Weights" will consider all vertex weights, not just bone deform weights.
In response to some of the feedback, I've taken a second look at the situation
when multiple views are open, and indeed in that situation having it display in
every region and blinking was quite overwhelming (admittedly, I've mainly been
testing on single-view setups). Now it only shows for the region that was used
for initiating the transform.
*Get rid of the magic numbers for median arrays, use defines instead, should make things a bit more clear and easy to edit (though there are still a bit of "array magic" on median here and there).
*Restore and extend use of RNA prop when a single (control)point of curve or lattice is selected, to allow keyframing (was added by sergey for curve radius in r41494, see [#29122], and reverted by myself in previous refactor r44599).
*Bezier points' softbody weight was called just "weight", when it is "weight_softbody" for NURBS ones, made it the same!
*Added "weight_softbody" to Lattice points as well.
By default, this is enabled, so that newbie users who are most likely to be
caught short by this will get the benefits of this option, while seasoned
animators are likely to know where to go to turn things off (i.e. the scratch-
an-itch urge is quite a powerful motivating force...)
(Note for Lockal: also checked fcurves/drivers, but those names are directly taken from RNA prop name, hence they are as UI label, translated in the current language, but not stored in data. So no problem here ;) ).
cleanup)
* Enum tooltips will only be detected in the case that we assign that as the
default property (ot->prop) of the operator. Set all of the offending properties
to get this status, since those operators would be useless without that property
anyway
* Improved the wording/capitalisation of a few of these tooltips and labels
property
Changes:
This commit adds a second line to the tooltips (below the generic operator
description) showing the appropriate description for each enum option. This
brings it more into line enum properties in Blender which also show this sort of
information.
Rationale:
Operators such as Snap and Mirror in the Action and Graph Editors use an enum to
control their behaviour (respectively, "how to snap" or "what to use as the
mirror line"). In the menus, these options are displayed using a submenu, but
hovering over each of these items for more information from a tooltip only shows
the (relatively unhelpful) generic operator tooltip/description.
Another area where these descriptions are useful is for Keying Sets, where it's
now possible to see the descriptions for what each Keying Set
does/affects/requires. Again, this is more helpful than just the generic
tooltip, which would be something like "Insert keyframes using a Keying Set".
* new/remove for GPencil frames/strokes/
* add/pop for points
* clear for frame/layer & grease_pencil
* copy for frame
+ fix for free_gpencil_frames() not clearing the active frame
Separate vertex copies are now made for flat-shading, such that the
normal is correctly flat-shaded. The element index buffer is not
created in this case.
