This patch adds two new drawtypes for empties in Blender:
* Sphere
* Cone
These draw with wireframes which are slightly more complicated than for other empties. However, this shouldn't really be an issue.
-- Peach request (from wiki feature request list) --
When translating a bone using Auto-IK, you can now use the ScrollWheel on the Mouse or the Page Up/Down keys to adjust the chain length.
Notes:
* Up decreases the length, while Down increases it.
* The previously used chain-length is stored per scene
* Currently, it might be too sensitive. Also, it would help to have some kind of indication of the current chain-length somewhere...
* The chain length specified this way determines the MAXIMUM chain length possible for all chains (if 0, then the default chain-length is used). Chains are clamped to have a chain length which does not exceed the default chain length. This restriction may be removed following further feedback...
This commit introduces two (currently only one is actually functional) new features for working with armatures.
* Bone Merging (Alt-M)
It is now possible to select a bunch of linked bones and "merge" them together. Currently, there's only one option to merge bones that are selected and linked to each other in a chain.
* Add Bone Between Joints (FKEY)
This allows you to select a few joints, and have a bone created between them. Currently, this is not yet functional (but the code is there)
It is used to store a reference to some data that is already in another ListBase. Sometimes, these are needed for small one-off situations, where a custom struct seems overkill...
not mirrored exactly, though the problem is not completely solved.
The way local frames are computed for particles is still not fully
symmetric, which shows especially on long hairs...
Also made the shift+o subsurf switch work recursively into
dupli-groups, did only the first level before.
the depsgraph relations for constraints with a local ipo were being
skipped, but I have no idea why this code was added? Uncommenting
it seems to work fine.
* BLI_arithb.h - isnan definition is only needed for MSVC, but gcc/mingw complains about it
* file-selectors - moved BLI_storage_types.h or sys/stat.h includes before BLI_winstuff.h includes, to silence warnings about S_ISDIR.
This code adds a basic and simple skeleton generator.
Examples and links are in the wiki, docs will come eventually: http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Theeth/skeletor
In a nutshell, select a vertex at the top of the head and press "Generate Skeleton". UI Panel is in the Editing buttons in Edit Mode, tooltips and semi-useful.

Replaces the glDrawPixel call with glaDrawPixelsTex for faster and interpolated drawing.
Adds autocenter and autozoom instead of the clipping that happened previously.
Fixes the button event for timely redraw.
Added a new option for Armature Ghosting: Only draw ghosts for selected bones. This is activated by toggling the "Sel" button beside the GStep: field.
Note: this does not give any speed increases, as the whole pose must be recalculated for each ghost. In fact, it might even cause minor performance decreases, due to the need to tag and un-tag bones before/after drawing the set of ghosts.
* Added an option to make frame numbers of keyframes draw on bone-paths even when frame numbers for other points are not shown.
* Added a new ghosting method, which only shows the keyframes within a range.
When sculpt object is in wireframe mode (including if the current view is in wireframe mode) a second copy is drawn only to the depth buffer so that sculpting can take place as normal.
==============
When pressing the g key on a bone that can't be translated, rotation
is automatically activated. However, with multiple bone selected, it
did this even if some bones can be translated. Now it only switches
to rotation if no bones can translated.
- 577: control reaches end of non-void function (in ui_but_copy_paste)
- 138: initialization makes integer from pointer without a cast
(I'm not sure whether the fix might cause errors on some systems/builds, but it works fine here)
* Old files now get initialised with the correct scale. The wrong calculation was being used
* Added a new tool to Alt-S menu: "Apply Scale"
This tool causes all the keyframes in the active strip to be moved to their NLA-scaled times, the scale to be set to 1.0, and the frame ranges recalculated accordingly (to remove any nasty weird errors)
* Scale field now draws red when the action-range is < 1, and the tooltip in this case instructs the user how to fix this (by using "Apply Scale").
NLA-Strips now have a new setting: Scale.
It determines how much the action-range is scaled for each repeat, instead of the scaling being implicitly determined based on repeats + strip-length.
One of the instant benefits of this, is that when increasing the number of repeats, the strip length increases by the right amount. Thus, increasing the number of repeats retains a constant speed.
Hopefully we can prevent weirdly scaled actions this way. (i.e. 0.00001 frames long action * 10000 or so)
Todo:
- Transform code needs to be able to set the scale setting (it doesn't yet)
- Add a new option to "apply scaling", to fix up problems with old files that have really bad scaling. Situations when this is needed could get indicated in the interface too... (red background for "Scale" field?)
starting angle in some cases, but wasn't always noticeable due
to the IK solver changing it anyway.
Bugfix for hidden bones in pose mode still being active, and
preventing other bones from becoming active.
