Previously it wasn't clear what it was supposed to be doing, or what was
required for it to work.
TODO: figure out why the operator redo settings panel won't work. The workflow
here is still a bit clunky.
(and marking rna as deprecated)
I talked with Benoit Bolsee and Mitchell Stokes and they both agreed that
the feature should be removed.
In case someone was actually using it the rna is still available. But next
release we remove both the rna, the DNA and the flag in the code.
I did a simple benchmark with tons of cubes, and the DBVT culling (use_occlusion_culling=True)
always perform better than when it's off. Even when no occluder objects are in the scene.
Also generate rigid body constraint types in py bullet code from RNA enum values (simpler than having to sync the code when something is changed here!).
Side note: RNA API about icons still needs to expose icons for enum values, and conversion funcs between icon_name and icon_value!
Oops! So there was an Unpack button, hidden in the Nkey properties of Image window.
This was drawn next to greyed-out buttons, didn't notice it well.
I also now found the unpack() menu in editors/util, and there's an Image unpack op.
Also the RNA api has an unpack!
Will remove the generic unpack op, and add a sound and vfont unpack instead.
Now all add/remove operators for rigid body objects and constraints
automatically add objects to the appropriate groups and create groups if they
don't exist yet.
This makes handling rigid bodies easier but doesn't take away functionality.
If users want to handle groups manually they just need to create them before
adding any objects.
The previous behaviour was confusing and was even considered to be a bug since
clicking on rigid body in the physics tab seemed to do nothing.
This means the deformation on the input to the modifier can be re-applied ontop of the mesh cache.
In practice this is most useful for using corrective shape-keys with mesh-cache.
Added "Panel Title" style to Theme settings.
Allows to make these nice larger or draw differently.
Also tried to put hinting in Style, but this needs to be a per-font
setting. uiFont data is still not being saved (also not allowing
to set own font files for UI). That's a todo for 267 then.
* Code cleanup for new Rigid Body panels.
* Removed some unneeded split() calls.
* Remove redundant check for "ob.rigid_body_constraint" in the draw() function of the "Rigid Body Constraint" panel. The check is already made in the poll.
Behaves like the generic constraint but has optional spring on each axis.
TODO: Add option to set rest length.
Patch by Markus Kasten (markus111), thanks!
Constraints connect two rigid bodies.
Depending on which constraint is used different degrees of freedom
are limited, e.g. a hinge constraint only allows the objects to rotate
around a common axis.
Constraints are implemented as individual objects and bahave similar to
rigid bodies in terms of adding/removing/validating.
The position and orientation of the constraint object is the pivot point
of the constraint.
Constraints have their own group in the rigid body world.
To make connecting rigid bodies easier, there is a "Connect" operator that
creates an empty objects with a rigid body constraint connecting the selected
objects to active.
Currently the following constraints are implemented:
* Fixed
* Point
* Hinge
* Slider
* Piston
* Generic
Note: constraint limits aren't animatable yet).
Add operators to add/remove rigid body world and objects.
Add UI scripts.
The rigid body simulation works on scene level and overrides the
position/orientation of rigid bodies when active.
It does not deform meshes or generate data so there is no modifier.
Usage:
* Add rigid body world in the scene tab
* Create a group
* Add objects to the group
* Assign group to the rigid body world
* Play animation
For convenience the rigid body tools operators in the tools panel of the 3d view
will add a world, group and add objects to the group automatically so you only have
to press one button to add/remove rigid bodies to the simulation.

Add read/write/interpolate functions.
In order to get rigid body point cache id from object it's now required to pass the
scene to BKE_ptcache_ids_from_object().
Rigid body cache is drawn in the orange color of the bullet logo.
removing non-GE supported features.
The idea of splitting the draw() function comes from Campbell Barton.
Review from him as well.
The main reason for not implement this in properties_games.py is to make sure the
panel is in the same order for both BI and BGE engines.
Full log is here:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Ref/Release_Notes/2.66/Usability#Matcap_in_3D_viewport
Implementation notes:
- Matcaps are an extension of Solid draw mode, and don't show in other drawmodes.
(It's mostly intended to aid modeling/sculpt)
- By design, Matcaps are a UI feature, and only stored locally for the UI itself, and
won't affect rendering or materials.
- Currently a set of 16 (GPL licensed) Matcaps have been compiled into Blender.
It doesn't take memory or cpu time, until you use it.
- Brush Icons and Matcaps use same code now, and only get generated/allocated on
actually using it (instead of on startup).
- The current set might get new or different images still, based on user feedback.
- Matcap images are 512x512 pixels, so each image takes 1 Mb memory. Unused matcaps get
freed immediately. The Matcap icon previews (128x128 pixels) stay in memory.
- Loading own matcap image files will be added later. That needs design and code work
to get it stable and memory-friendly.
- The GLSL code uses the ID PreviewImage for matcaps. I tested it using the existing
Material previews, which has its limits... especially for textured previews the
normal-mapped matcap won't look good.
* rename sculpt_brush_texture_settings to brush_texture_settings
* Expose texture scale and offset in texture paint mode
* Introduce still inactive mapping mode for texture paint, tiled and
view aligned only. Projective paint uses only tiled, while 2d paint can
use both. Commit will come that will use both appropriately for both
modes, omitting fixed brush flag (which is tiled with another name)
add Ctrl+Shift+Tab shortcut for selecting snap type to the UV editor too.
also added icon drawing to WM_OT_context_menu_enum() so it gets the icons from the enum to draw them in the menu.
Own stupid mistake in recent UI list refactor - those two lists are a good example where a non-void 'id' is necessary, as they use the same class in the same window... Else, the same object is shared by the two, which can't work! :)
Many depsgraph failures are because some data in the graph is being
recalculated too early (or not at all).
Since we better support animators with working renders, here's a hack to
allow manual additional updates on frame changes.
In Property Editor, Object, Panel "Relations Extra" you now have two
buttons:
- Extra Object Update
- Extra Data Update
This will do an extra update of object and/or its data ONLY on frame changes.
Update happens as last.
Tested on files collected in Wiki todo, several cases now work OK, especially
the lags on updates.
