- Panel with Shape keys now shows for lattice too
- Supports VGroup weight value for Shapes
NOTE: this doesn't support Shape editing with linked duplicates. The
modifier system for Lattices (as for Curve/Surface) has no local Object
storage, so linked duplicates will all show identical.
New option: "Select Collumn" in Action editor. This selects all 'keys' on
the same time, based on already existing selection. Works for Actions as
well as Shape Keys. Hotkey K.
aside from avoiding unneeded memory alloc/dealloc and bing faster this works around a recently discovered bug with the user count of copied Mesh keys... causing getFromObejct leak memory when used with mesh keys.
It also fixes a bug where getFromObejct with fluid-sim would corrupt memory.
When using the "Load without UI" option, and having a textfile open in the
Text Editor with syntax coloring, Blender crashed. Just a missing NULL
check here.
Bugfix for #4971: Scene.unlink() was incorrectly decrementing the datablock
user count whenever an object was removed from a scene, instead of only when
the object's count reached 0. The Python code was modified to use the
existing free_and_unlink_base() function (with some modifications to allow
specifying a scene). Also fixed a bug with the undocumented return codes
from the method; it now returns True if the object was found in the scene.
Works like vertex-parent for Mesh and Curve/Surface. Select one or three
vertices in edit mode, and use CTRL+Select to select another object.
Then press CTRL+P.
indices that are within the passed group. If one of the indices was not
in the group, it returned an exception, as opposed to just removing it from
the group as the documentation states.
Armature and Hook modifiers, and the flag field for the Mirror modifier. These
modifiers should all be copied correctly now.
This fix also means that converting modifiers to mesh with Alt-C now works
correctly (the convertmenu function copies the modifers before applying them,
so it wasn't always giving correct results for the above modifiers before).
The convertmenu function has also been changed to use DM_to_mesh instead of
converting to DispListMesh and using displistmesh_to_mesh, which means that
extra mesh data such as dverts is preserved.
Experimental boolean tool optimization: for very large meshes a significant
amount of time is spend performing linear searches of edges. This patch
implements a "hash" table (really more of a bucket table) to narrow the
search space.
If someone should need to disable this, just remove the "#define HASH" at
the beginning of BOP_Mesh.h
My commit to fix weightpaint display (revision 1.125 of DerivedMesh.c) broke
normal recalculation for meshes which have only deform modifiers applied.
This commit fixes that by adding calls to CDDM_calc_normals in the appropriate
places.
The DM_from_template and DM_init functions checked for numVerts > 0 before
initialising the DerivedMesh's custom data layers. This was something of a
hack intended to allow DerivedMesh creation functions to initialise default
function pointers without initialising custom data layers (by passing a 0 for
the numVerts parameter). It is unneeded now that DM_init_funcs is present, and
causes memory deallocation warnings later on when the number of vertices
really is 0, so it has been removed.
module itself, replacing the special MEM_mallocT/MEM_freeT functions.
Mutex locking is only enabled when threads are running.
There was no good reason to have these separate, it just led to ugly
hacks when calling functions with non-threadsafe malloc from threads.
file path where library is read from.
In Outliner, choose new view mode "Libraries". A ctrl+click on the library
name then allows to change the file name or path. Note that when you change
the file name, nothing is being re-read or re-linked. Only after saving the
.blend file and reading it back the new library is used.
This feature allows to cleanup library usage. You can make files relative,
or reorganize a project. Just keep in mind that you cannot use this feature
to fix .blend files that link to non-existing other files. That because the
lost data is actually not read at all, so cannot be saved either.
Currently, library errors are only printed in the console... quite
important to keep track of when using Libraries.
Implementation note: this Outliner view mode can become expanded to a full
"Database view", showing something similar as SHIFT+F4 databrowse does now.
- Tangent vectors now can also be derived from orcos (No UV needed)
- Normalmaps now properly support tangent space as well

structured and more maintainable. The old algorithm could leave the mesh in an
inconsistent state during recursive calls, making it quite fragile. The new
algorithm keeps the mesh in a consistent state, and should be more robust.
This commit fixes the issues EdgeSplit was having with non-manifold meshes
(bug #4946, also reported by several other people). EdgeSplit now works
correctly with all the test files I have.
This commit also fixes the BLI_ghash_remove function to correctly decrement
gh->nentries (the number of entries in the hashtable) on a successful removal.
RVK sliders only worked up to 64 shape keys, above that internal memory
screwed up because it used a static array.
Should really be coded nicer once, until then I've moved the max to 256
and secured code that it doesn't draw sliders beyond 256.
The original obj importer was ok but it gradually got slower
as it had to support quirks of rare files.
This importer supports these quirks without bad workarounds and ~250 less lines.
* Moved from NMesh to Mesh
* Import smooth groups as hard edges
* Import Lines from sketchup (Thanks Wavk)
* Uses less memory
* faster (On a 70meg poser test model, benchmarked from 130sec to 41.2sec)
Not yet supported from the old importer-
* Scaling down to a bounding area
* Importing multiple obj's at once
* Using existing materials in the .blend
* Importing as a group instance.

Main reason is that Lattices are useful a lot for Armature deformation.
Lattices just provide much more precise and interesting control. However,
with only bone envelopes it's very hard to use.
Working with Lattice vertex groups is nearly identical to Mesh:
- on CTRL+P 'make parent' you can choose the deform option now
- In editmode, the buttons to control vertex groups are available
- In outliner you can select vertexgroups too
- Deforming Lattices with Armatures has all options as for Mesh now.
Note:
- No WeightPaint has been added yet. To compensate, the editmode
drawing for a Lattice with vertex group shows weight values for the active
vertex group.
- Lattice editmode doesn't undo/redo weight editing yet.
- Softbody for Lattice still uses own vertex weights
Implementation notes:
- derivedmesh weight_to_rgb() is now exported to drawobject.c
- been doing cleanups in code (order of includes, var declarations, etc)
- weightpaint button handling now is generic
I've checked on Brecht's proposal for Custom Element data;
http://mediawiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/CustomElementData
It could have been used, but that would mean the existing code for
vertexgroup handling and armature deform couldn't be re-used. I guess this
is really a later todo.
