=================== This is a new automatic vertex weighting method, next to the existing envelope based method. The details are here: http://www.blender.org/development/current-projects/changes-since-244/skinning/ This is based on section 4 of the paper: "Automatic Rigging and Animation of 3D Characters" Ilya Baran and Jovan Popovic, SIGGRAPH 2007 Implementation Notes: - Generic code for making mesh laplacian matrices has been added, which is only used by bone heat weighting at the moment. - Bone to vertex visibility checking is done with the raytracing code. - Fixed an issue in the subsurf limit calculation function, where the position of vertices on boundary edges was wrong. It is still not the correct position, but at least it's in the neighbourhood now.
Welcome to the fun world of open source. For instructions on building and installing Blender, please see the file named INSTALL. ---------------------.Blanguages and the .blender directory--------------------- The .blender directory holds various data files for Blender. In the 2.28a release those are the .Blanguages file containing a list of translations, the translations themselves and a default ttf font. Blender checks for the presence of this directory in several locations: - the current directory - your home directory - On OSX, the blender bundle is also checked - On Windows, the installation dir is checked. If you get a 'File ".Blanguages" not found' warning, try to copy the .blender dir to one of these locations (your home directory being recommended). -------------------------------------Links-------------------------------------- Getting Involved: http://www.blender.org/docs/get_involved.html Community: http://www.blender3d.org/Community/ Main blender development site: http://www.blender.org/ The Blender project homepage: http://projects.blender.org/projects/bf-blender/ Documentation: http://www.blender.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=documentation&file=index Bug tracker: http://projects.blender.org/tracker/?atid=125&group_id=9&func=browse Feature request tracker: http://projects.blender.org/tracker/?atid=128&group_id=9&func=browse
