Patch by Philipp Oeser (lichtwerk), just did style change (better to not define a value twice, so only affecting the three color components, not the alpha, also using the slice syntax makes things much more compact ;) ), thanks!
- fix python error when the object had an empty material slot
- initialize start frame from the current frame
- set frame range to 300000 max (which is blenders own maximum)
- mesh order was arbitrary, instead use selected -> active, removed invert option.
also fix for missing include in bpy_extras.view3d_utils
* Sets up a particle system and an explode modifier.
* In "blend" mode requires two selected objects and creates "crossed keyed" particle systems between the objects for a simple blend effect where the first object explodes and then recombines as the second object.
* Also renamed the other quick effect operators as "Quick ..." to bring some consistency to the operators (also nice that now you can just write "quick" to the operator search and get all these operators).
* Fluidsim has to be before any constructive modifiers.
* Also a bit nicer domain size calculation + a warning message for using flat objects as fluid objects.
* Some code cleanup and clarification too.
* "Make fur" now creates a basic fur material for each object (smaller strand tip width and a little bit of surface diffuse)
* If fluid/smoke emitters aren't rendered the objects are also set to draw only in wire mode so that the fluid/smoke can be clearly seen.
* A couple of operators to quickly create effects that would otherwise take some time to set up.
* Nice to use for demoing functionality or as a starting point for more complex effects.
* "Make Fur" - Gives every selected mesh object particle fur with a desired density and length.
* "Make Smoke" - Makes each selected object a smoke emitter and creates a new domain object around the emitters with the correct material to render the smoke.
** Has style options for "stream": constant smoke flow, "puff": only create smoke once from the volume of the emitter object, "fire": enable high resolution smoke and set a secondary fire color texture for the domain object.
* "Make Fluid" - Makes every selected object a fluid object (normal/inflow) and has the option to start fluid baking immediately.
* This should provide a nice base for extending these / adding more operators for different effects.
