Export <specular> for <phong> and <blinn> shaders, <shininess> was already being written for these.
<lambert> shader doesn't have <shininess>.
Right now we write <phong> when blender spec is phong, <blinn> when blender spec is blinn. When spec is
any other shader, and diffuse shader set to lambert, we export as <lambert>. Any other combination defaults
right now to <phong>. This will change when Blender specific profiles have been created for the shader
combinations in Blender.
* Adding keyword arguments to LibLoad
- load_actions (Default: False) Ensures that all actions are loaded. Otherwise, just actions used by objects in the scene are loaded.
- verbose (Default: False) Turns on extra prints (eg SceneName: MyScene).
* Also making error reporting better for when an invalid group/idcode is given.
move calls to the classes register/unregister function into register_class() / unregister_class() and add docs.
also other minor changes:
- remove face sorting keybinding, was Ctrl+Alt+F, this is quite and obscure feature and face order normally doesn't matter, so access from Face menu is enough.
- add commented out call to mesh.validate() in addon template since its useful to correct incomplete meshes during development.
Using environment map type "load" increased user counter on each
preview render.
Also noticed that this type of envmap use wasn't threadsafe, causing
imbufs being allocated for all threads. Also fixed that.
ui/ --> startup/bl_ui
op/ --> startup/bl_operators
scripts/startup/ is now the only auto-loading script dir which gives some speedup for blender loading too.
~/.blender/2.56/scripts/startup works for auto-loading scripts too.
* Particle emission now updates all parent objects too to the exact emission time.
* This only does object level animation as updating the object data for every particle would be too slow.
* A better fix could be to interpolate the emission location directly from the current particle emission location and the location from the previous frame, but for this some point cache changes have to be made, so it will have to wait.
Modified to only do one lookup.
from Martin:
"Basically, what it does is allow you to add register and unregister class methods to rna types, this way you don't have to rely on module register/unregister methods to setup your types properly (and it makes them easier to move around when reorganizing code and easier to understand what a type does when reading code). This is especially nice for PropertyGroup classes that are added as properties to existing types, you can easily see in their register methods where they are added and removed in their unregister method. Obviously, those two methods are optional, so current code still works fine."
