Preview Range is a useful tool for animating (espcially on longer timelines). It allows you to only run through a limited set of frames to quickly preview the timing of a section of movement without going through the whole timeline. It means you don't have to set/reset start/end frame for rendering everytime you wish to only preview a region of frames. Hi Ton, Attached is a patch (I know you've already got lots of them in the tracker ;-) ) for a feature that I've sometimes wanted. It seems that this sort of thing is supported in other packages, but I can't be sure. Note: I may have left in a few bits and pieces I didn't mean to in the patch (this is off a source tree which had quite a few revisions in it, all of which was experimental) == Preview Range == Preview range is useful for animating (espcially on longer timelines).

Click+drag to form selection-box defining region of frames to preview * 'Alt P' in Action/NLA/Timeline to clear preview range * 'Pre' button beside Start/End fields in timeline toggles whether start/end fields refer to scene or preview * 'Ctrl Rightarrow' and 'Ctrl Leftarrow' jump to start/end of preview region when it is set * 'S' and 'E' set the start/end frames of preview region when it is set (just like normally) in Timeline only * In Action/NLA editors, frames out of preview region are now drawn darkened when preview-region is set See the following page for more info later: http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Aligorith/Preview_Range
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
