'Convert To...' Object operation has very weird effect of actually
working at obdata level, not object level, which means *all* objects
(even unselected/hidden/in other scenes/...) using same obdata will be
converted to new selected type.
IMHO this is very bad behavior, but... not a bug really, so do not
change this for now.
But at least, do not do that when working on some linked data, else it
leaves Blend file in invalid (incoherent) state until next reload.
So workaround for now is to enforce the 'Keep Original' option when some
linked object/obdata is affected by the operation.
Also fixed somewhat broken usercount handling in Curve->Mesh part.
Previous code (same as what `BKE_libblock_free_us()` is doing when
usercount reach 0) was probably OK in that specific case, but still not
good idea, and potentially risky.
Reported by Andy Goralczyk (@eyecandy) over IRC, thanks!
Simply nuke all that poor broken custom one-by-one handling in
object_relations.c code, and use highly complex but powerful and
well-tested BKE_library_make_local() in all cases of MakeLocal!
ID management, especially related to linking, is very hairy matters,
better to have as few as possible core functions managing all the dirty
details. ;)
If users wanted to bake only a few of the mesh materials, they would
still need to create dummy textures for the other parts.
This commit report (as RPT_INFO) the materials with no texture, but move
on to bake the others materials.
Properly remap nodes' pointers to copied IDs in copied ntrees.
Note that this only affects root trees, node groups are not concerned
here, since they are assumed to be reusable chunks and hence *not*
duplicated.
Basically upon invoking cycles baking we could canell it which would
leave G.is_break hanging as true. Since we were not setting is_break to
false before exec baking, it would misbehave.
That's a quick hack to address that specific case, new pointer IDProp
actually enlights a generic problem - datablocks using themselves - which
is not really handled by current code, would consider this not-so-urgent
TODO though.
The absence of datablock properties "will certainly be resolved soon as the need for them is becoming obvious" said the [[http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Ref/Release_Notes/2.67/Python_Nodes|Python Nodes release notes]]. So this patch allows Python scripts to create ID Properties which reference datablocks.
This functionality is implemented for `PointerProperty` and now such properties can be created with Python.
In addition to the standard update callback, `PointerProperty` can have a `poll` callback (standard RNA) which is useful for search menus. For details see the test included in this patch.

Meshes w/o modifiers wouldn't have their derived mesh applied.
Check was to avoid crash but its in fact meaningless,
since the modifier might be disabled, or there may be virtual modifiers.
The custom poll function for surfacedeform_bind seems to have caused
issues when calling it from Python. Fixed by using the generic modifier
poll function, and setting the button to be active or not in the
Python UI code instead. (there might be a better way, but for now this
works fine)
New logic of split_faces was leaving mesh in a proper state
from Blender's point of view, but Cycles wanted loop normals
to be "flushed" to vertex normals.
Now we do such a flush from Cycles side again, so we don't
leave bad meshes behind.
Thanks Bastien for assistance here!
Pretty straight forward actually, just do not bother about obdata part
of vgroups in that case, only copy object part of it.
And let's curse once again those stuff spread accross several types of
data-blocks...
Use Main->relations in BKE_library_foreach_ID_link(), when possible
(i.e. IDWALK_READONLY is set), and if the data is available of course.
This is quite minor optimization, no sensible improvements are expected,
but does not hurt either to avoid potentially tens of looping over e.g.
objects constraints and modifiers, or heap of drivers...
Things like `BLI_uniquename` had nothing, but really nothing to do in
BLI_path_util files!
Also, got rid of length limitation in `BLI_uniquename_cb`, we can use
alloca here to avoid overhead of malloc while keeping free size (within
reasonable limits of course).
Main issue here was that in old usercount system 'user_real' did simply
not allow that kind of thing to work. With new pait of 'USER_EXTRA'
tags, it becomes possible to handle the case correctly, by merely refining
checks about indirectly use objects whene removing them from a scene.
Incidently, found another related bug, 'link group objects to scene' was not
incrementing objects' usercount - bad, very very bad!
Was a waaaaayyyyy to much generic name for such a specific func, renamed
to much more descriptive BKE_libblock_relink_to_newid().
In near future (few weeks, to limit as much as possible silent mismatch
in branches), will rename BKE_libblock_relink_ex to BKE_libblock_relink,
this is the real generic data-block relinking func!
This aims at always ensuring that ID.newid (and relevant LIB_TAG_NEW)
stay in clean (i.e. cleared) state by default.
To achieve this, instead of clearing after all id copy call (would be
horribly noisy, and bad for performances), we try to completely remove
the setting of id->newid by default when copying a new ID.
This implies that areas actually needing that info (mainly, object editing
area (make single user...) and make local area) have to ensure they set
it themselves as needed.
This is far from simple change, many complex code paths to consider, so
will need some serious testing. :/
- Remove 'rotate_m2', unlike 'rotate_m4' it created a new matrix
duplicating 'angle_to_mat2' - now used instead.
(better avoid matching functions having different behavior).
- Add 'axis_angle_to_mat4_single',
convenience wrapper for 'axis_angle_to_mat3_single'.
- Replace 'unit_m4(), rotate_m4()' with a single call to 'axis_angle_to_mat4_single'.
All objects were being parented to a single instance of each parent
object, instead of their respective instances, when using dupliverts or
dupligroups.
Behavior was caused by the `persistent_id[0]` (vertex/face id) being
ignored when computing `parent_gh` hash, which caused all instances to
have the same hash, and thus only the first one was included.

We have to clear `newid` of all datablocks, not only object ones.
Note that this whole stuff is still using some kind of older, primitive
'ID remapping', would like to see whether we can replace it with new,
more generic one, but that's for another day.
Code would try to add multiple time the same key in `parent_gh` (for this
ghash a lot of dupliobjects may generate same key).
Was making the tool unusable in debug builds.
Also optimise things a bit by avoiding creating parent_gh when only
`use_base_parent` is set.
Issue here was that py API code was keeping references (pointers) to the
liniked data-blocks, which can actually be duplicated and then deleted
during the 'make local' process...
Would have like to find a better way than passing optional GHash to get
the oldid->newid mapping, but could not think of a better idea.
Material linking might and does change the way how drawObject is calculated
but does not tag drawObject for recalculation in any way.
Now use dependency graph to tag draw object for reclaculation. Currently do
this using OB_RECALC_DATA taq since tagging is not very granular yet. In the
future we can introduce ore granular tagging in the new dependency graph
easily.
Simple and safe for 2.78a.
We were calling BLI_remlink and then BLI_insertlinkbefore/after quite often. BLI_listbase_link_move simplifies code a bit and makes it easier to follow. It also returns if link position has changed which can be used to avoid unnecessary updates.
Added it to a number of list reorder operators for now and made use of return value. Behavior shouldn't be changed.
Also some minor cleanup.
These may be exposed in UI (keymap editor & redo panel), so better avoid using identifiers like "UP" "DOWN". They are redundant anyway (already displayed).
Another great example of inconsistency in usercount handling - dupli_group was considered
as refcounted by readfile.c code (and hence by library_query.c one, which is based on it),
but not by editor/BKE_object code, which never increased group's usercount when creating
an instance of it etc.
To be backported to 2.78.
This is mainly required for the new dependency graph where non-object
datablocks are a part of dependency graph.
This solves issue when making mesh shared by multiple objects a single
user one.
Wasn't copying back local view bytes to object after changing layer.
Steps to reproduce were:
* Split 3D view in default startup.blend
* Enter local view in one of the 3D views
* Move default cube to different layer *in the other 3D view* (the one that's not in local view)
* Try transforming object from 3D View that's in local view (should lag)
All in all, this patch adds an Alembic importer, an Alembic exporter,
and a new CacheFile data block which, for now, wraps around an Alembic
archive. This data block is made available through a new modifier ("Mesh
Sequence Cache") as well as a new constraint ("Transform Cache") to
somewhat properly support respectively geometric and transformation data
streaming from alembic caches.
A more in-depth documentation is to be found on the wiki, as well as a
guide to compile alembic: https://wiki.blender.org/index.php/
User:Kevindietrich/AlembicBasicIo.
Many thanks to everyone involved in this little project, and huge shout
out to "cgstrive" for the thorough testings with Maya, 3ds Max, Houdini
and Realflow as well as @fjuhec, @jensverwiebe and @jasperge for the
custom builds and compile fixes.
