Snappy stuff
* Align rotation with snapping target: rotate the object, aligning it with the target (object mode only - temporarily) (New icon in the header when snap is turned on)
* Snap to different mesh elements (face, edge, vertice): snapping target slide on faces and edge or use exact position of vertice. When using Align rotation with edge snapping, the normal is interpolated as you slide along.
Snaps correctly to derived mesh (sculpt, modifiers, ...) and duplis. In object and edit mode.
NOTE: The snapping code is now based on faces, so even if you're snapping to vertices or edges, it will not work on meshes without faces. This might change if needed.
The latter is now obsolete and will be soon
removed.
Some tiny build tweaks for darwin committed
in preparation of bigger changes for proper
SDK suport both on intel and ppc
it is now in a state where it can be safely
merged with trunk.
Note: basic icons were provided but I'm not
an icondesigner and working in a 16x15 grid
is way too small for me, so feel free to
change them.
added icon for 'Toggle Bookmark Area'
disabled the bookmarks for databrowse
allow to add path inside .blend file (could be nice to use as material library for example)
Based on feedback from Ton, I've recoded the way "PoseLibs" are implemented/exposed. Therefore, quite a bit of code has been changed to fit this in better.
Now, ANY ACTION can be a "PoseLib". A set of Markers which belong to the Action (it's taken a year, but they're finally back), are used to tag "poses" in the Action. These markers are shown using diamond-shaped blue icons (designed by Matt Ebb) in three shades - unselected/normal, selected, active.
Notes:
* Each Armature Object has an Action which acts as a PoseLib.
* Improved UI presented in buttons panel for this
-- added proper buttons for action assigning
-- renamed "Validate PoseLib" to "Auto-Sync PoseLib" (this option auto-tags poses based on keyframes found)
Like in the 3d-view, use the hotkeys:
* Shift-L to add a local marker
* Ctrl-Shift-L to rename a local marker
* Alt-L to delete selected local markers
Note: transforms, etc. are not currently available with these markers
== PoseLib Preview ==
Added a few features here:
* Left/Right-Arrow keys now change the poses too (previous and next respectively)
* Up/Down-Arrow keys also change the poses, but "jump" to a pose 5 steps away in their respective directions
=========
Merge of the famous particle patch by Janne Karhu, a full rewrite
of the Blender particle system. This includes:
- Emitter, Hair and Reactor particle types.
- Newtonian, Keyed and Boids physics.
- Various particle visualisation and rendering types.
- Vertex group and texture control for various properties.
- Interpolated child particles from parents.
- Hair editing with combing, growing, cutting, .. .
- Explode modifier.
- Harmonic, Magnetic fields, and multiple falloff types.
.. and lots of other things, some more info is here:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/Particles_Rewritehttp://wiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/Particles_Rewrite_Doc
The new particle system cannot be backwards compatible. Old particle
systems are being converted to the new system, but will require
tweaking to get them looking the same as before.
Point Cache
===========
The new system to replace manual baking, based on automatic caching
on disk. This is currently used by softbodies and the particle system.
See the Cache API section on:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/PhysicsSprint
Documentation
=============
These new features still need good docs for the release logs, help
for this is appreciated.
Changed how the sticky setting is stored in DNA - (as a char rather then 2 flags).
replaced the UV/FACE icon with another needed for the sticky menu.
removed 2 unused icons.
commented the UV transform panel since it only had 2 buttons in it.
depgraph update calls needed to be added to Ctrl+V/E/F menu's because some commands were crashing.
Added new defines for the icons used to show this, on the request of Matt Ebb. For now, the eye icons have simply been duplicated to the new spaces, but 'more descriptive' icons should be made.
Added new icons by 'jendrzych' for sculpt mode and transform snapping. I'll be
doing a lot more on this in the next release cycle, but I'm bringing these icons
over now since they're new features and we don't really have any icons for them
at the present.
Snap/Grid icon button in 3D view header (edit mesh). FIXME NOTICE: make nice looking icons (yes, that's for you Matt)
When snap is on, a drop down appears for the target method (closest, median, center)
Hotkey to toggle snap is Shift-Tab (this was previously used for a not totally equivalent to Tab. Ton said OK to scrap it). That hotkey is currently restricted to edit mesh (where snap is currently restricted).
Changed a couple of ugliness on how snap settings are stored.
This is another proportional edit falloff that slightly randomises the
influence. It's not strictly random, it's blended with linear falloff so that
it's a bit smoother. The nice thing is that it works with all transforms, axis
locking etc, including the special ones like to sphere, shrink/fatten/etc. It
can be used for all sorts of things like roughening surfaces. I most recently
used it to add a bit of randomness to the folds of some cloth. I
made a short demo video here: http://mke3.net/blender/etc/prop_random-h264.mov
Also included nicer icons for the falloff types.
you can click on the 'Sample' button, to sample any colour on the Blender
screen. This is really useful in the compositor, and would probably be good for
sampling footage in any eventual chroma key nodes that may be made, too.
LMB to pick the colour, ESC or RMB to cancel.
PET is now checked as a transform flag during transform. Much cleaner that way for NOPET context (extrude, duplicate)
Added Sphere as a new PET falloff mode (icon and all) and reordered them around in a more logical fashion (IMHO).
Also brought back Subsurf toggle with Shift-O (was supposed to be for PET object mode but that was canned).
3d Cursor, only Ob Centers
Median Point, only Ob Centers
They prevent rotation/scaling from effecting the scale/rotation of the objects and just effects their position.
This is handy for aligning objects if you constrain to an axis and scale, as well as other neato things :)
Intrr came up with the code and I hacked it into the GUI
The png file containing the icons, 'blenderbuttons', was updated to contain
these new icons. It now also contains the icons from the 2.30 ui makeover.
The file had not been updated since then.
junkies will be happy to find the datatoc.c program in the
datafiles directory).
Some quick notes:
* 'datafiles' has the version 2.21 splash.jpg and blenderbuttons (e.g., so
no NLA icon). Someone should at least get the 2.25 blenderbuttons from
somewhere and commit them.
* 'text' has obsolete content/license
* I did not include the python scripts as they have copyright
Jan Walter and no license specified.
* I changed to unix line terminators everywhere with the exeption of the
'windows' directory.
