* AKEY - Toggle Outliner Selection (*1)
* Shift-AKEY - Expand/Collapse All
* RKEY - Toggle Renderability
* SKEY - Toggle Selectability
* VKEY - Toggle Visiblity
(*1) - The keymap-order of these has been swapped from the ones used in 2.4x. The old keys used here were inconsistent with the rest of Blender (at least I found myself always getting annoyed that I'd accidentally collapsed/expanded all items by hitting AKEY many times).
Notes:
- These may be taking up a bit too much room in some situations. Perhaps an option to turn these on/off is needed?
- I've added a quick hack in area.c -> ED_region_panels_init() to set the flags to make scrollbars show up in regions whose View2D data has already been initialised. This is primarily aimed at the Buttons Window in the 2.5 defaults file, which seems to have been saved in 2.5 or so
- The expand icons on either end of the scrollers don't really seem to be necessary? (or not working yet)
* Texture -> renamed 'no rgb' to 'rgb to intensity' (btw it's not just for
image textures )
* Render -> stamp closed by default - not taking effect, because saved in
.B.blend. How do we fix this?
* Material -> removed 'Buffer Bias' dependency - it's for receiving shadows,
not casting them
* Material -> Ray Shadow bias renamed 'Auto Ray bias' - switches between an
automatically calculated value vs the specified value
* support for dynamic enums to be inspected enumProp.items() from python.
* fix, enums check for a separator was flipped, meant no enums were in docs.
* dynamic enum functions now check for a NULL context and return all possible options for the "items" attribute used for docs.
* added an arg for rna arrays to free the array there looping over (needed to free dynamically allocated enum items)
* python api checks for NULL items since this can happen in some cases.
* python api, When getting an enum ID from an int in an array - If it failed it would get the first enum identifier and return that. Brecht? dont understand, making it return an empty string in these cases.
* UI layout for scene buttons has quite some changes, I tried to
better organize things according to the pipeline, and also showing
important properties by default, and collapsing less important ones.
Some changes compared to 2.4x:
* Panorama is now a Camera property.
* Sequence and Compositing are now enabled by default, but will only
do something when there is a node tree using nodes, or a strip in the
sequence editor.
* Enabling Full Sample now automatically enables Save Buffers too.
* Stamp option to include info in file is removed, it now simply always
does this if one of the stamp infos is enabled.
* Xvid, H.264 and Ogg Theora are now directly in the file format menu,
but still using FFMPEG. Unfortunately Ogg is broken at the moment
(also in 2.4x), so that's disabled. And Xvid crashes on 64bit linux,
maybe solvable by upgrading extern/xvidcore/, using ubuntu libs makes
it work.
* Organized file format menu by image/movie types.
Added:
* Render layers RNA wrapped, operatorized, layouted.
* FFMPEG format/codec options are now working.
Defaults changed:
* Compositing & Sequencer enabled.
* Tiles set to 8x8.
* Time/Date/Frame/Scene/Camera/Filename enabled for stamp.
changes to flatten_string_append(...), probably only brecht is interested.
- It was copying from the old malloc'd buffer but never the fixed buffer - the reason >255 length strings didnt render.
- on first malloc for the FlatString allocate 512 rather then 256 chars since the fixed string is 256 chars.
- if the char was '\0' fs->pos was set to 0, not sure why since char cant be '\0' because of the loop that calls flatten_string_append, removed.
- added (uncommented actually) PoseChannel.pose_matrix
- added Object.dag_update that calls DAG_object_flush_update. I'm not sure if it's needed, but FBX exporter uses it.
* Objects now support up to 32767 material slots. It's easy to
increase this further, but I prefer not to increase the memory
usage of mesh faces, it seems unlikely that someone would
create 32767 distinct materials?
* Forward compatibility: the only thing you can potentially lose
reading a 2.5 file in 2.4 is object linking (instead of default
data), though usually that will go fine too. Reading files with
> 32 material slots in 2.4 can start giving issues.
* The ob->colbits variable is deprecated by the array ob->matbits
but I didn't remove the ob->colbits updates in very few places
it is set.
* I hope I changed all the relevant things, various places just
hardcoded the number 16 instead of using the MAXMAT define.
* Join Objects operator back. This is using the version from the
animsys2 branch coded by Joshua, which means it now supports
joining of shape keys.
* Fix for crash reading file saved during render.
- Keyed targets in one list instead of "chaining", this opens up many more possibilities than before and is much less obscure.
- Better keyed timing possibilities (time & duration in frames).
- Looping over keyed targets list.
Other changes:
- New child setting "length" with threshold (great for guard & underfur with a single particle system)
- Modularization of path interpolation code.
- Cleared "animateable" flags from many particle settings that shouldn't be animateable.
Fixes:
- Keyed particles weren't copied properly (ancient bug).
- Hair rotations depended on global z-axis for root rotation so downward facing strands could flip rotation randomly. Now initial hair rotation is derived from face dependent hair matrix. (This caused for example ugly flipping of child strands on some cases).
- Children from faces weren't calculated straight after activating them.
- Multiple disk cache fixes:
* Disk cache didn't work correctly with frame steps.
* Conversion from memory cache to disk cache didn't work with cloth.
* Disk cache crashed on some frames trying to close an already closed cache file.
* Trails didn't work with disk cached particles.
- Child rough effects were effected by emitter object loc/rot making them next to useless with animation, why didn't anybody tell me this!!
- Lots of random code cleanup.
*Added vbvh - Just a experimental tree type :)
Variable Way BVH - there is no hardcoded number of childs per each Tree Node
- idea is to optimize a tree to reduced the expected number of BB tests even after applying SAH (for that an hardcoded n-way is not enough)
- for now childs are stored on a linked list
* bugfix: parent on linux didn't account for first slash
* added some BLI_cleanup_dir to prevent weird directory names
* revert to old directory if user types bogus text.
Shift+Enter in the text editor executes the TEXT_OT_line_console operator defined in space_text.py
The operator's class stores a namespace for each text block.
Eventually this should have its own input rather then using the text editor.
Tested with py3.1 and 2.6
TEXT_OT_insert was only using the first char from a string, added support for inserting strings.
* tweak for autocomplete, only update live if live_update and TAB key is hit. (Brecht, please check if it's ok, otherwise will revert and we'll find another way)
* adding slash at the end of directory to allow for faster autocomplete
* bugfix: directory name buton had wrong length
* bugfix: adding back adding the region on read of old files
* tweak: buttons for increment/decrement file number now have icons and size adjusted to UI_UNIT_X/UI_UNIT_Y
* Split strips now uses the current frame as the splitting-point for selected strips if the current frame falls within in the bounds of the strip. Otherwise, the code defaults to splitting by the midpoints of the strips.
* Time-range for Graph Editor is saner now when there is only a single keyframe or none at all.
* Fixed crash when anim-playback is running and a strip beside a transition gets transformed.
Transition strips no-longer assume that their neighbours are action-clips, using the standard NLA-strip evaluation function instead to evaluate their neighbours. However, a check for ping-pong recursion needed to be added there, so that a transition beside a meta-strip, with the meta having a transition nested at the start of one of its levels, wouldn't fail with stack overflow.
* Moved 'Tweak Mode' menu entry to Edit menu, since it's not really that modal.
* Text window font size now supports full range 8-32, instead of
just 12 and 15. I added BLF_fixed_width to get the character
width of a fixed size font.
* Buttons do undo push on change again.
* Animated/Keyframe/Driver colors are now themable, with blend
value to blend with original color. Set this to 0.5 now to
give colors less constrast.
* Fix tooltip popping up with RMB menu open, and missing redraw.
* Autokeyframe now works for buttons.
* Driver expressions can be edited in place in a button now.
(still some refresh issues).
* Also made python driver default for the Add Driver function
in the RMB button. This way you don't have to open a Graph
editor if you just want to type an expression. Also, the
default expression then is the current value.
* Tooltips now show some extra info, not sure what is good to
have, but currently I added:
* Shortcut key for operator buttons.
* Python struct & property name for RNA buttons.
* Expression for driven values.
* Value for text/search/pointer buttons.
Made transform confirm or cancel on mouse up. More inline with button clicking and better for tablets.
Add operator params to make sure Rip and Extrude turn off PET and Mirror correctly.
Note: sorry for all the whitespace changes, I need to reconfigure this editor not to do autocleanup.
to be able to use C++ at raytrace code
C++ used in here is basicly C with templates and function overloads,
to make it easier to reuse code between structures.
For now BVH was converted in C++ and moved to this module
* refcount error if StringIO or io modules could not be imported
* importing python modules like math didnt work because the script registration overwrote the script path. now just prepend the path.
* Code to start moving 3D view header and panels to python, at
the moment the View menu and one empty panel is in python. The
C header code is wrapped in one template, so parts of that can
be moved over while still keeping things working.
* Fix for mistake in RNA enum commit yesterday, and some warning
fixes.
* Move Up/Down and Delete are now operators
* Made TrackTo constraint use expanded enum toggles for up axis too.
--> BUG ALERT: specifying name and expand in the arguments to itemR doesn't work (name gets skipped)
Changing Scene.current_frame doesn't work in this case because it adds
a notifier.
Also added RNA_property_update call in pyrna_struct_setattro so that
notifiers are added when a property changes.
DopeSheet and Graph Editor operators were missing these, since many of these operators were written before that field was added.
NLA Editor's operators already have them.
(19863 to 21513)
Highlights of the new NLA System (and related Animation System changes):
* NLA Data is stored in AnimData alongside Action and Drivers. The NLA stack is evaluated before the Action, with the Action always overriding the results of the stack.
* NLA Data is arranged in 'Tracks', which act like PhotoShop layers. These can be muted, protected, and/or made to be played back by themselves
* Within each track, there can be multiple 'Strips'. There are 3 types of strip -> Action Clip (references some action), Transition (blends between the endpoints of two strips), and Meta (container for several strips that occur sequentially)
* FModifiers can be applied to strips, and strips can have animated influence/time controls. Playback for strips can also be backwards now!
* Playback can now go in forward and backwards directions.
* Animation Editors have been polished (unfinished features added, existing features cleaned up and made more consistent)
Notes for BuildSystem Maintainers:
* Only scons has been actively tested. Makefiles should work fine.
* MSVC ProjectFiles are broken due to the very way they work.
* CMake status unknown...
Other notes:
* Hopefully I haven't made any mistakes while doing the merge. More files than expected were showing some weird conflicts, so you may have some broken code...
* Not all old files (with NLA) data load exactly the same anymore. However, the bulk of the files out there should be ok (I hope)
