Main Feature:
* It is now possible to choose which AnimData block is the 'active' one for editing, and/or select them too. AnimData blocks are generally the dark blue and lighter-blue expanders (i.e. Scene, Object, Camera, Lamp, Curve, Armature, etc.)
* Objects are no longer selected/deselected when AKEY is used to toggle selection of channels. This was getting a bit annoying.
* Following on from selection of AnimData blocks, it is now possible to select/make active an AnimData block in the animation editors, and change the active action for that block via the 'Animation Data' panel in NLA Editor's properties region.
--> Be aware that user-counts are not totally handled correctly there yet, so some funky behaviour might be seen...
--> It is possible to assign a new action, or to assign an existing one, allowing to switch between actions as in the past with Actions/IPO Editors...
Other tweaks:
* Some code tweaks towards making the 'Euler Filter' feature for Graph Editor working sometime soon
* Added some backend code for snapping the values of keyframes to a single value. Still need to work out some UI for it though.
* Shuffled the code for ACT_OT_new() around, and removed the poll() callback so that it worked in NLA too.
* Fixed some more notifier bugs with deleting bones and a few other editmode operations for Armatures.
* Threading buxfix letting MSVC Debug builds crash because of corrupted std::lists
* Adopted two property ranges
* Changed the mixdown volume to set the device volume instead of the volume of every sound.
I also removed the private redefinition of m_logicmgr in SCA_BasicEventManager, which was already defined protected in the parent class SCA_EventManager and thus caused a bug letting GE crash here because of an uninitialized pointer.
* #19459: Shape Keys not Animateable
Shape Keys were missing the appropriate 'path' callbacks.
* #19458: 3D Viewport doesn't refresh when adding new bone in editmode (using Shift-A)
The 'wrong' notifier was being sent. Currently, Armature EditMode only responds to NC_OBJECT|ND_TRANSFORM, which isn't strictly that correct for all cases.
* Alignment code for constraints headers (i.e. enable/disable lumped with the delete constraint button) was causing the delete button to not work anymore. Removed the offending code (it shouldn't have been there to start off with).
* When object's don't have their own AnimData (i.e. if you only animate the values of some shapekeys), a space is no longer left beside the object's name for a visibility toggle in the Graph Editor.
- Use CTX_data_main(C) over G.main
- no need to define object_type_items inline.
- rna_mesh.c - dynamic length array was commented out, not sure why this was needed. Povray and PLY scripts rely on faces having 3/4 verts rather then checking the 4th index is 0 (ok in C, not nice in py).
* 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
- rename WM_OT_ten_timer to WM_OT_redraw_timer
- added iterations argument to run more then 10 times (10 is default still)
- use report api rather then always calling a popup directly.
- added a new test that draws every region without swapping.
- dont show the info popup when operators are called from python.
- operators called from python now print reports, useful with the interactive console.
eg.
>>> bpy.ops.wm.redraw_timer(type='DRAW_WIN', iterations=300)
Info: 300 x Draw Window: 4168.56 ms, average: 13.8952
% 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)
* Extremes are shown as red/pink diamonds
* I've changed the order of extremes and breakdowns in the code to make for nicer sizing/ordering. This might break a couple of files out there, but it shouldn't be too many.
TODO:
Still on my todo is to make these tags more useful (i.e. less likely to be overwritten by keyframing)
Tested in X11 where its fairly confusing.
buttons 4 and 5 are used for the wheel which is well known, but it seems 6 and 7 are used for horizontal scrolling, my mouse assigns the extra 2 buttons to events 8 & 9.
So the X11 events used for buttons called 4&5 in blender are 8&9 in X11.
The mouse buttons can be re-ordered like this once xorg starts (swaps 6,7 with 8,9)
xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 4 5 8 9 6 7"
Couldn't test Win32, Apple not supported.
If someone wants to add horizontal scrolling its quite easy.
* Fixed mixdown volume being int instead of float
* Fixed audio muting for sequencer not working
* Added 3D listener settings with RNA (not working in GE yet)
* Copy Rotation constraint "should" work ok for custom rotation orders now. It now converts both rotations to the form used by the owner. So far, this doesn't seem to have broken any of the test rigs in my test-suite, though new specimens for the hall of flakiness are always welcome.
* Fixed many RNA wrapping bugs for Armature data.
- Fixed a few wrong tooltips
- Made proper refreshes for restpose/posed, etc.
* Started converting special quaternion interpolation for Pose Sliding tools (push/relax/breakdown), though this doesn't seem to be working correctly yet.
-->> Help to get these working right is welcome :)
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
* Breakdown tool for Poses (Shift-E in PoseMode) now works. Now this works as a modal operator when invoked, with the horizontal movement of the mouse (left to right) corresponding the placement of the breakdown relative to the endpoint keyframes.
* Moving bones between armature layers in Edit Mode didn't work (wrong variable name used)
* Fixed several notifier-related bugs regarding editing armature settings and the 3d-view not refreshing
* Duplicating bones preserves the rotation mode
* Animation Data for Nodes is now show in Datablocks viewer (i.e. AnimData for NodeTrees has now been wrapped)
* VecLerp3f and Vec2Lerp3f - interpolate 3 2d/3d vectors from 3 weights
* AngleToLength(angle) - useful for making even width shell/walls based on the angles of the surrounding geometry from each point. (same method used in 2.4x python solidify script).
also quiet some warnings.
- 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 :)
Note sure what to do with this one, and personally think
we should avoid using macros for this kind of thing:
V_GROW(edges);
source/blender/editors/mesh/loopcut.c:232: warning: value computed is not used
Added a utility function to check which transforms for an object or bone are animated, returning these as bitflags and/or optionally retrieving the relevant F-Curves too. Beware that this method may not be working correctly yet, but it shouldn't hurt anyone in the meantime :)
Also, split RNA-path building function up into a version which only creates the path up to the given struct, with the other parts being added later.
* 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.
* Node buttons can now use the layout engine. a few simple
ones are converted. We'll keep this code in C for now,
python wouldn't help much here.
* For node buttons not using the layout engine, manually
computing the button height is not longer needed.
* Node inputs are still not RNA wrapped, would be good to
have these available as well for keying, but makesrna does
not have access to the bNodeTypes.
* 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.
* PROP_NEVER_NULL is now a flag instead of a subtype.
* It works for function parameters too now, so setting
this flag can help avoid NULL checks in the function.
* Renamed LocalLamp to PointLamp, making it consistent
with the UI name.
* Set icons for the different lamp struct types.
- last commit, missed include for rna_object_api.c & bad args to find_basis_mball
- use enum for GHOST tablet type None/Stylus/Eraser, had duplicate definition for these in C. Only tested X11, may need to cast to an int for other OS's.
