- access with the F key, Ctrl+Alt+F in editmode, View->Navigation menu
- camera, perspective & 4split (perspective view only)
- uses modal keymap, (same as 2.4x).
- bugfix since 2.4x, when flying upside down, turning left/right was inverted.
- bugfix for "Align Camera To View", was using deprecated v3d->ofs rather then rv3d->ofs, fixed for NDof fly too. checked v3d->ofs is only used in readfile.c
Todo
- Warping the cursor removed in 2.5, no way to place the cursor in the middle of the view.
- Adding keyframes while in flymode to record the path is missing.
- Not getting MMB mouse release events (used for pan). need to look into why.
* Vertex Groups list now has a more normal length (2 rows by default)
* Copy vertex groups button now has an icon
* Pose Sliding tools now allow events which it doesn't process to pass through (i.e. zooming the view now works, and also moving around using the numpad works too)
* copied I/O scripts
* copied, modified rna_*_api.c and rna_*.c
I/O scripts not working yet due to slight BPY differences and RNA changes. Will fix them later.
Not merged changes:
* C unit testing integration, because it is clumsy
* scons cross-compiling, can be merged easily later
- Commands from the history wont get modified in-place when you cycle back and re-use them.
- Ctrl Left/Right skip words.
- Autocompletion on a variable that has no alternatives adds a '.'
'bpy' -> 'bpy.', generally more useful since autocomp again will give the members of bpy
also moved text_check_* functions into BKE_text.h for the console to access.
% sign for percentage assuming it is between 0-100, while factor is
for values 0-1.
Move collision setting absorption from modifier to collision settings,
was inconsistent to have it there as the only one, and made it have
range 0.0-1.0 instead of 0-100.
* Wrapped Color Key and Blur Node.
* Nodes using RNA properties can be animated. You can now choose if the Nodes Window should be updated while animation playback too. (Timeline>Playback Menu)
* #19419: PoseLib rename/remove tools could crash when an invalid
(However, now care is needed when touching that index field, since the warnings can keep piling up)
* Added Browse Poses for PoseLib to the toolbar
* Removing constraints from bones now properly updates. A DAG rebuild is now forced, and the constraint flags are cleared.
* Attempting to improve the situation with Copy Rotation constraint and rotation orders other than xyz. Unforunately, it looks like a different method is required...
Added the new pose tools in the toolbar.
Changed a few armature values to enums.
Brecht: The Heads/Tails enum seems to also enable armature.draw_axis, and the paths_type enum affects armature.draw_names
- remove falloff setting now the curve is used.
- bugfix for airbrush & tablet, with no movement it would assume 1.0 pressure.
- rna, use the use_* prefix for brush options.
New stuff
- Bending springs for hair dynamics.
Code cleanup & optimization
- Disabled reactor particles temporarily for cleanup, it's a clumsy system that will be replaced with something better.
- Removed child seams, something better will come here too :)
- Normal particle drawing data is now saved between redraws if the particles don't move between redraws.
* For example rotating the 3d view is now realtime even with 1M particles.
- Many random values for particles now come from a lookup table making things much faster.
- Most accessed small point cache functions are now much faster as macros.
- Lot's of general code cleanup.
- Nothing big should have changed so if something doesn't work like it used to it's probably just a typo somewhere :)
Disable windows' blocking crash reports in child process. (windows only)
Get server port as well as ip address from master broadcast (broadcast is on a fixed port).
* The image panels in the image editor and texture buttons
should be more complete now, with working new/open,
refreshes, and using the layout engine.
* Paint panels in image editor are now consistent with the
ones in the 3d view toolbar.
* Curves panel also uses layout engine, and doesn't look
squashed anymore.
* Fix problem with curve mapping / color ramps not updating
things like previews propertly. Now it uses the RNA update
of the pointer from the material/texture/.. so each of those
can define their own update, but still share the RNA struct.
* Code for these templates is now in interface_templates.c
* Fix exception for "axis" property, now it always shows normal
widget with the PROP_DIRECTION subtype.
* Remove context from uiBlockLayoutResolve, no longer needed.
- povray converts curves to meshes on export, (metaballs don't need meshing).
- use 'extend' bool rather then 'seltype' enum for object_select operators for consistency.
writes all operators (including PyOperators) and their default values into a textblock.
Useful for an overview and checking consistancy.
eg. http://www.pasteall.org/7918/python
added rna functions text.clear() and text.write(str)
Server can now be set to broadcast on local network (every 10s, approximately 20 bytes of data) where client and slave can pick up its existence. This is on by default.
Default ip address is now "[default]", which means for the master that it will listen to all interface and for the clients and slave that they will automatically work out the master's address from its broadcast.
