* Added more DNA_color_types.h, starting from patch by Sebastian Skejø.
What's missing is write access to some things like point location,
hard to retrieve the CurveMapping for proper update still..
* Added all datablocks as ID pointer in Main already, now only have to
change the type from ID to the specific type. Also added filename
to Main, which is basically the only non-internal property.
* Fixed setting shadow buffers size in lamps, also ensured it to be a
multiple of 16.
This also adds a special Embedding option called "Peel Objects". This option makes the embedding snap consider objects as whole, taking the first and last hit of each of them to calculate the embedding point (instead of peeling with first/second, third/fourth and so on). This option is useful if you have mecanical pieces with lots of details (as single objects) and want to put bones in the middle (think of adding bones to a mecha, for example).
* Fix sensor data pointer code, also made sensor type non editable,
would need to do more work than just setting the type.
* Fix a fairly obscure bug related to inheritance and sorting.
* Complete DNA_ID.h wrapping, just a few extra properties and the
Library struct, most of this is internal.
- RMB select, also with SHIFT
- RMB tweak for translate
- SHIFT+D dupli
- BKEY border select/deselect
- AKEY (de)select all
- XKEY delete
- GKEY grab
Added some XXX comments for future todos, especially for when other
spaces come back with time markers.
Also added ED_util for putting in all to-be-cleaned cruft
Context conflict: input methods for Markers can conflict with other
spacetypes. It was solved in pre-2.5 with manually tweaking it all over,
but I would prefer one keymap for all marker stuff. Needs some thinking...
could be solved with a boundbox check for bottom part of 2d window.
Tweak issue: both tweak styles are possible:
- Hold mouse button, move, operator ends on mouse release
- Hold mouse button, move, operator ends on mouse click
Problem is that modally handled operators use fixed keymaps... like ESC,
SPACE, ENTER, or press/release mousebutton for 'assign'. There's a lot
to say for making this all consistant, or become part of 1 general keymap?
Should also be possibe to define 'tweak' defaults for Tablet different
than for mouse...
* Added more lamp properties. (patch by Michael Fox)
* Fix a number of warnings in the RNA code.
* Converted DOS line endings to UNIX.
* Added some information on defining ID structs, and fixed use
of "ID" inheritance for some non-ID structs.
* Added text on naming conventions to the RNA documentation, and
applied it to the current code.
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/Blender2.5/RNA#Naming_Conventions
* Matches the C/RNA api structure
* Thin wrapper ~(600 lines)
* No functions specific to any blender object type.
* Defines 2 types, BPy_StructRNA and BPy_PropertyRNA.
* Python 3.0 target (compatible with python 2.4,5,6)
* http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/Blender2.5/PyRNA - continue docs/discussion here.
Todo
* Collection iterators
* Write access to data
* Define how constants should be accessed (as strings or some special type)
* Solve the "Python keeping invalid blender pointers" problem.
This cant just be solved in the py api - we need blender to notify when ID's are removed
Examples
Here are some examples that work with the current implementation of the api.
rna.lamps["Lamp.006"].energy -> (1.0)
rna.lamps["Lamp.007"].shadow -> ("NOSHADOW")
rna.materials.keys() -> ['flyingsquirrel_eye', 'frankie_skin', 'frankie_theeth']
rna.scenes["hud"].objects["num_text_p2_4"].data.novnormalflip -> False
rna.meshes["mymesh"].uv_layers.keys() -> ['UVTex', 'UVTex']
rna.meshes.items()
For a dump of yo-frankie level see - http://pasteall.org/3294/python
Notes
* Added python back, can only execute scripts from the command line with -P script.py
* bpy_interface.c is just enough functionality to run a python file.
had more windows, it left the non-active windows empty. The window-match
code is unfinished (need to bring all editors back), for now it just
follows rule to copy active screen in loaded file to other windows.
Also: added time marker icons (wrong location, view2d stuff still)
Also: bug in random green/purple area code, stopped at 10 subwindows :)
Since we'll reshuffle a lot in UI code, making new Screens totally
incompatible, this patch saves the Screen chunk in Blender files
with a new identifier (ID_SCRN), causing it to be not read in old
Blender binaries. Pre-2.50 blender already has a facility to recover
from this (it keeps old UI), including for .B.blends (it opens
default simple screen)
For the latter reason, it might be advisable to have the .B.blend
for 2.50+ saved as another name? Then you can use both for while.
(Note: commit is just 3 lines of code, other files are comments I
added for documentation of other stuff)
* Made auto collection wrapping work for ** arrays.
(Mesh.mats, still points to ID since there is no Material yet).
* Added sorting of RNA structs/properties before writing.
The new class VideoTexture.ImageRender() is available to perform
render to texture in the GE.
Constructor:
VideoTexture.ImageRender(scene,cam)
cam : camera object that will be used for the render.
It must be an inactive camera.
scene: reference to the scene that will be rendered.
The camera must be part of that scene.
Returns an object that can be used as a source of a VideoTexture.Texture object
Methods: none
Attributes:
background:
4-tuple representing the background color of the rendering
as RGBA color components, each component being an integer
between 0 and 255.
Default value = [0,0,255,255] (=saturated blue)
Note: athough the alpha component can be specified, it is not
supported at the moment, the alpha channel of the rendered
texture will always be 255. You can however introduce an
alpha channel by appending a FilterBlueScreen() filter, it
will set the alpha to 0 (transparent) on all pixels that were
not rendered.
capsize:
2-tuple representing the size of the render area as [x,y] number of pixels.
Default value = largest rectangle with power of 2 dimensions that fits in the canvas
You may want to reduce the render area to increase performance. For example,
a render area of [256,128] is probably sufficient to implement a car inner mirror.
For best performance, use power of 2 dimensions and don't set any filter: this
allows direct transfer between the GPU frame buffer and texture memory
without going through the host.
alpha:
Boolean indicating if the render alpha channel should be copied to the texture.
Default value: False
Experimental, do not use.
whole:
Boolean indicating if the entire canvas should be used for the rendering.
Default value: False
Note: There is no reason to set this attribute to True: the rendering will
in any case be scaled down to the largest rectangle with power of 2
dimensions before transfering to the texture.
Attributes inherited from the ImageBase class:
image : image binary data, read-only
size : [x,y] size of the texture, read-only
scale : set to True for fast scale down in case the render area dimensions are not power of 2
flip : set to True for vertical flip.
filter: set a post-processing filter on the render.
Notes:
* Aspect Ratio
For consistent results in Blender and Blenderplayer, the same aspect ratio used
by Blender to draw the camera viewport (Scene(F10)->Format tab->Size X/Size Y)
is also used during the rendering. You can control the portion of the scene that
will be rendered by "looking through the camera": the zone inside the outer dotted
rectangle will be rendered to the texture.
In order to reproduce the scene without X/Y distortion, you must apply the texture
on an object or portion of object that has the same aspect ratio.
* Order of rendering
The rendereing is performed when you call the refresh() method of the parent
Texture object. This happens outside the normal frame rendering and will have no
effect on it.
However, if you want to use ImageViewport and ImageRender at the same time, be
sure to refresh the viewport texture before the render texture because the latter
will destroy the frame buffer that is used by the former to update the texture.
* Scene status
The meshes are not updated during the render to texture: the rendered texture
is one frame late to the rendered frame with regards to mesh deformation.
* Example:
cont = GameLogic.getCurrentController()
# object that receives the texture
obj = contr.getOwner()
scene = GameLogic.getCurrentScene()
# camera used for the render
tvcam = scene.getObjectList()['OBtvcam']
# assume obj has some faces UV assigned to tv.png
matID = VideoTexture.materialID(obj, 'IMtv.png')
GameLogic.tv = VideoTexture.Texture(obj, matID)
GameLogic.tv.source = VideoTexture.ImageRender(scene,tvcam)
GameLogic.tv.source.capsize = [256,256]
# to render the texture, just call GameLogic.tv.refresh(True) on each frame.
You can download a demo game (with a video file) here:

For those who have already downloaded the demo, you can just update the blend file:

outliner. Clicking on one activates it and takes you to the object buttons - it's a
lot better to see what's going on than a little < 1 Part 5 > that gives very little
indication.
Part 3/3: new icons
- Icon set done by jendrzych! Great job!
- cleaned up unnecessary includes and removed commented out code
- preview icons (for materials, textures,..) don't work yet, have to be ported to new event system
* less calls to BKE_image_get_ibuf when switching between images
* remove thread debug prints
* use own pixel blending funcs (IMB_blend_color isnt needed in some cases), slightly faster without this.
- Added markers (partially) back, ed_markers.c (temporary in spacetime,
where to put general stuff like this?), and added ED_markers.h for api.
- Mkey in timewindow shows marker (no icon, doesnt work yet).
(Adding operators gets easy :)
- Noted some conflict for operator storage... with markers being used all
over, added it to the screen level.
- More todos: view2d is stored in space, for time, etc. With regions we
could move this over, but better todo as post 2.5 project. Multiple 2d
views in area would be cool though.
* Disable editable pointers for now, difficult to support well.
* Swap parameters in RNA_access.h functions to make it more
consistent.
* Rename rna members for operators to wmOperatorType.srna, and
wmOperator.ptr, to make the distincton a bit clearer.
• Removed the RNA_int_default and similar functions, they're too
confusing. RNA_property_is_set can still be used to achieve
the same goal.
* Add functions to create RNA pointers.
Some example code for RNA data access and operator properties:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/Blender2.5/RNAExampleCode
to compile blender with gcc on IRIX, IRIX_USE_GCC needs to be set to true in
user-def.mk.
Other changes related to irix:
* compile solid from extern/
* don't build plugins (yet) with "make release" when using gcc (the shell
script used assumes MIPSpro is installed)
* use statvfs instead of statfs on irix, like done on solaris
* use external libs from $(LCGDIR) instead of /usr/freeware
* use glew header files from $(LCGDIR)/glew instead of the ones installed on
the system (this applies to other platforms as well)
* ffmpeg support currently is disabled on irix
