* Added vertex weight painting.
* Added dissolve/fade setting for every surface type.
* Restored image format and displace type selection for image sequences.
* Fixed a possible crash when OpenMP enabled.
* Attempt to fix surface rna paths.
* Fixed compile warnings.
* Image sequence anti-aliasing works again.
* Vertex color viewport preview now works with GLSL and textured view modes too.
* Added a new "inverse" setting for "volume + proximity" brush. With it brush only has effect within volume but effect is lower near the mesh surface.
Committed changes from previous weeks, biggest changes are:
* Canvas can now have multiple "surfaces" that each can have specific format, type and settings.
* Renewed UI to support this new system.
* Aside from old "image sequence" output format, Dynamic Paint can now work on vertex level as well. Currently vertex paint and displace are supported.
* Integrated vertex level painting with Point Cache.
* Added viewport preview for Point Cache surfaces.
Due to massive amount of changes, old Dynamic Paint saves are no longer supported. Also some features are temporarily missing or may not work properly.

Also fixed an inconsistent conflict resolution in the last commit with
regard to release/scripts/startup/bl_ui/properties_render.py. This
problem resulted in empty menus in the GUI.
This commit adds an experimental effect strip to the sequencer: "Title
Card".
This is useful for adding simple one-line text section headers or
"title cards" (i.e. title + author/contact details) to video clips,
which is often seen in demo videos accompanying papers and/or
animation tests.
See http://aligorith.blogspot.com/2011/06/gsoc11-simple-title-
cards.html for some more details on usage.
Code notes:
- There are a few things I've done here which will probably need
cleaning up. For instance, the hacks to get threadsafe fonts for
rendering, and also the way I've tried to piggyback the backdrop
drawing on top of the Solid Colour strips (this method was used to
keep changes here minimal, but is quite fragile if things change).
This patch adds anisotropic filtering of textures in the viewport and the BGE. The quality of the filtering is adjustable in the user preferences under System. For more information on anisotropic filtering:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anisotropic_filtering
One current limitation of this setup (having the option a user preference) is it makes runtimes more troublesome. Runtimes don't have user preferences set, so for now the blender player defaults to 2x AF. Options will be added later to change this value (probably a command line option).
a) Enable the possibility to remove the "air bubble" around submerged collision object. This feature is enabled as standard for new files. The code was found in elbeem by nudelZ, coded and provided by Nils Thürey (thanks!)
b) Old baked files gets deleted if a new bake gets started (were overwritten before and resulted in weird old bake + new bake mixture) (idea by nudelZ)
Added a basic multiple bone group paint feature "Multi-Paint" and its corresponding checkbox next to "Auto Normalize," but I need to access the ToolSettings for it in armature to make bone selection function/draw correctly
When you multi-paint, it paints on selected bones while keeping the weight ratios on a vertex of the selected groups the same. You can't currently multi-paint on a vertex with a locked deform group.
=======================
Added option to baked named "Bake From Multires" which is avaliable for
normals baking and displacement baking.
If this option is enabled, then no additional hi-res meshes and render
structures would be created . This saves plenty of memory and meshes
with millions of faces could be successfully baked in few minutes.
Baking happens from highest level against viewport subdivision level,
so workflow is following:
- Set viewport level to level at which texture would be applied
during final rendering.
- Choose Displacement/Normals baking.
- Enable "Bake From Multires" option.
- You're ready to bake.
Displacement baker had aditional option named "Low Resolution Mesh".
This option is used to set if you want texture for realtime (games)
usage.
Internally it does the following:
- If it's disabled, displacement is calculated from subdivided
viewport level, so texture looks "smooth" (it's how default
baked works).
- If it's enabled, dispalcement is calculated against unsubdivided
viewport levels. This leads to "scales". This isn;t useful for
offline renders much, but very useful for creating game textures.
Special thanks to Morten Mikkelsen (aka sparky) for all mathematics
and other work he've done fr this patch!
- fix: user pref, window title was reset to 'Blender' on tab usage
- Undo history menu back:
- name "Undo History"
- hotkey alt+ctrl+z (alt+apple+z for mac)
- works like 2.4x, only for global undo, editmode and particle edit.
- Menu scroll
- for small windows or screens, popup menus now allow to display
all items, using internal scrolling
- works with a timer, scrolling 10 items per second when mouse
is over the top or bottom arrow
- if menu is too big to display, it now draws to top or bottom,
based on largest available space.
- also works for hotkey driven pop up menus.
- User pref "DPI" follows widget/layout size
- widgets & headers now become bigger and smaller, to match
'dpi' font sizes. Works well to match UI to monitor size.
- note that icons can get fuzzy, we need better mipmaps for it
file
This is just a more formalised version of a local hack I've been
running locally for the past year now. It's especially useful when you
want to maintain your own set of recently opened test files (or
perhaps current project files), but then be able to quickly open some
.blend files downloaded from the web (i.e. checking out some bug
report, or how someone else sets up some node setup) without
loosing/polluting your existing recent files list as a result of doing
so, and having to either resort to some nasty methods to get it back.
Of course, this is still really hacky, as for instance, it means that
the currently opened file will not show up in the recent files list
for quick reload. However, that's why this is a userpref :)
Made my 3 new buttons only appear in weight paint mode when there are vertex groups present
in properties_data_mesh.py
I took the now redundant check box out of properties_data_mesh.py
I took out unnecessary code (resulting from copy/paste) from my lock all, unlock all, and invert all functions of object/object_vgroup.c
(and I got rid of a new line in paint_vertex.c :) )
Copy unifont..ttf.gz from source tree to target datafile path( now ONLY works with cmake );
Set the locale the same with system's setting;
If need unicode font, unzip and load unifont when init ui styles;
Apply gettext() to labels in space_info.py, who are the main menu items.
Each of these should have been commit one by one. As they work well according to my tests, so I just lazily send a long list.
The Limit Distance Constraint now has a "For Transform" option just
like all the other Limit constraints. This option controls whether the
constraint gets applied to interactive transforms in the 3D View too,
preventing controllers from getting large values without the animator
knowing.
Additional code changes:
* Split code to get constraint targets and grab their matrices for
solving out to a separate helper function:
get_constraint_targets_for_solving()
* Fixed a bug where "found constraint ...." prints would appear in the
console. Looks like some warning print that was forgotten
TODO:
* While coding this, I noticed potential division by zero bugs with
the Limit Distance constraint. Looking into these after this commit.
Added operator to convert animation for standard object transforms
(i.e. loc/rot/scale) to delta transforms.
This can be accessed from the Object -> Transform -> Animated
Transforms To Deltas menu entry in the 3D View.
Since the situation which causes this is quite common (especially for
motion-graphics type applications), where users animate some object
first and then decide to duplicate this and place it around the place
in different locations, it's probably important that we have some
support for this kind of thing. Newbies with the "help, all my anmated
duplicates disappear" problem are recommended to use this operator
from hereon in.
For reference of rationale, see:
http://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?219126-Move-Existing-f
-Curve-to-delta-equivalent
for durian we had camera rigs which needed to have the parent transformed rather then the camera, for this reason I made fly mode fly the parent rather then the camera its self.
Make this a preference and use this for view camera/view locking too.
Committing here a patch by Bastien Montagne (mont29), a more understandable Translation Constraint UI.
Before: http://www.pasteall.org/pic/12578
Now http://www.pasteall.org/pic/12258
From the description:
"When you set “X” under the Destination’s “Z”, it does not mean that the Z transform of the source should affect the X transform of the destination, but rather that the X transform of the source should affect the Z transform of the destination…"
The new UI should make it a bit more clear.
*In Particle Mode, there was no way to see what p-sys is being edited in the 3D View Tool bar, when having multiple ones.
Changed List type to normal (with limit to 3 rows). Request by venomgfx. :)
* Removed redundant text info about disconnected hair from Particle UI.
This patch adds adjustment layer tracks to the sequencer and does some cleaning
up of the code.
What's an adjustment layer?
Think of it as an effect track, which takes no explicit input, but alters
the output of everything down the layer stack.
So: you can add several stages of color correction with it.
And: you can even use it with metastrips to group several adjustments together.
Reviewed by Tom Musgrove and myself.
From the patch description:
ValterVB on #blendercoders submitted a long list of missing tooltips in Blender, and I went through the list and added all I knew. After that I crowdsourced the rest by putting a spreadsheet on Google docs and having people fill in the missing ones that I didn't know. So if there's some weird tooltip in there that doesn't make sense, that's why.
Thanks to Wolter, spacetug and others on BlenderArtists for contributing tooltips.
from the current shape mix. The old behavior is still accessable from the
menu as "New Shape From Mix".
Checked with Sergey and Bassam that this is a good change. New users
expect the add shape button to simply add a new blank shape, and get
confused when that is not the case. It is also really easy to
accidentally have other shape information in a new shape when the
"from mix" behavior is default.
- follow rotate/pan/zoom/dolly operators.
- auto-depth preference works.
- smooth view navigation supported.
- view selected, all & numpad operator work too.
TODO
- deal with camera transform locked axis
- find a way to move/zoom the frame while the camera is locked (if it turns out to be a problem).
from Andy Braham (andybraham)
This adds support for empties to reference images and draw in the 3D view.
Modifications from the original patch.
- use an empty draw 'image' type
- use image aspect ratio for non-square-pixels
- when the image is not found, still draw the frame.
Added new option to find panel of space text which toggles
case-esensitive search.
Additional changes:
- Send NC_TEXT|NA_EDITED when removing markers in find_and_replace modifier
this prevents "sticked" markers which disappears on first redraw when
search text wasn't found
- Do not show "Text wasn't found" error when text to be searched is contained
in the end of buffer and it's selected. Replacing/marking used to happen, but
this popup message was really annoying for this case.
TODO: It's incorrect to use UI_GetThemeColor4ubv from this operator
- Constructive modifiers are enabled by default in sculpt mode.
- There's option to disable all constructive modifiers in the "Options"
panel of toolbox in sculpt mode,
- Use one column in options panel to make strings easier to read
- No modifiers would still be applied on multires
- installing an addon which creates a new script directory didn't add this to the sys.path.
- installing the addon was meant to set the search string to the addon name but was broken.
simple modifier, almost like a hook, except it can deform with 2 object source -> target, has option to preserve rotation and use different falloff types.
Made some improvements to the point density texture. Added support
for tweaking the falloff with a custom curve. Also coded new
falloff types based on the age or velocity of particles.
Also added a test break check to the volumetric shade cache code,
to avoid nasty hangups from the preview render (on render, exit,
etc).
- continue zoom now uses the same options as dolly (hoz/vert & invert).
- remove event mouse coord hack to bypass touchpad zoom invert, instead pass invert as an argument.
EditMode mesh: tool "Mesh Rip Move" shouldnt be in the toolbar.
The tool was coded to use the mouse position next to the selection.
The rip then happens correctly after pressing V and move mouse away
from selection.
- render check for ortho/panorama combination wasn't working since the flags were not initialized at the time of checking.
- disable panorama button in ortho mode.
- Assigning local materials to library objects disabled
(crashes on undo/redo cases)
- Disabling options in Material buttons to add/remove slots
on library data
- Drawing Object ID template in Object properties, this
allows browse active Object, but especially shows library
status then.
Two part bug:
Part 1) NLA Editor menu was calling wrong operator
Part 2) r35829 broke NLA scaling, since it only checked that the
transform mode used was allowed in the Action Editor (probably
confused by Part 1)
*Brush option "size" had different naming in 3D View / Image Editor.
Ported back name "Radius" to RNA (Brush and ParticleBrush)
Discovered by Bart Crouch. Thanks!
I'm finally yielding to months of feature requesting, and adding
support for filtering F-Curves by name, where the "name" here is the
text which is displayed for each F-Curve in the Animation Editor
channel lists.
To use, just enable the magnifying-glass toggle on the DopeSheet
filtering settings, and enter a snippet of text to find within the
names of channels you wish to filter. This is case insensitive, and
currently doesn't support any wildcard/regrex fanciness.
Some examples:
loc <--- location curves only
x loc <--- x location curves only
x eul <--- x rotation curves only
rot <--- rotation curves only
etc.
- Pose Propagate and Pose Sliding tools now work in the same way as
Pose Library previewing, with regards to selections. If some bones are
selected, then only those will be affected. But if no bones are
selected, then the whole rig gets affected.
- Added a "On Selected Markers" option, which only propagates poses to
frames where there's a selected marker. Animators can combine this
with a "select markers whose name contains..." operator to get an
effective way to manage hand-keyed walk cycles, etc.
- Renamed "Last Keyframe" mode to "Before End". This mode still just
copies the pose to all keyframes starting from the current frame until
the last one encountered per F-Curve
- "Last Keyframe" mode (new one) now copies the pose to the last
keyframe. This is useful for making animations cyclic (i.e. go to
first keyframe, edit, then Pose->Propagate->To Last Keyframe (Make
Cyclic))
* Too strict poll functions for render & display panels.
* Like said in the report cache & vertex groups are a part of the particle system (not particle settings) they can't be shown when the settings are pinned.

According to the changes in revision 35667, the Freestyle-related code
in release/scripts/ui/ was moved to release/scripts/startup/bl_ui/.
[#25045] User Preferences Input, not enough menu choices
[#26525] Saving the Maya preset and another key configs
Untangle keyconfig presets and interaction presets (maya keyconfig would set interaction setting, blender interaction would set keyconfig).
Preset menu on slash screen now displays a list of available keyconfigs (as before) but will also set the correspondant interaction presets, if it exists)
This tool automates the process of copying a pose to successive
keyframes, making it easier for animators to go back and change the
pose for some controls which remain "static" for periods of time.
Previously, animators would need to do a "{Ctrl-Pageup Ctrl-V} *
number_of_static_keyframes" dance for each set of controls that this
happened on, which is not too good ergonomically speaking.
There are two modes exposed via the menu (Pose->Propagate):
- "Pose Propagate" - also known as the 'WHILE_HELD' mode, which
propagates to all keyframes that are holding the same value
- "To Next Keyframe" - which only propagates the pose to the closest
keyframe in the occurring after (but not including) the current frame
Additionally, there are a few other modes that can be used, though
they are less useful for direct use from the UI, though they can be
used via the PyAPI as need be.
---
Also, I did some cleanups in the "Pose" menu to bring it more into
line with the Object mode one. There are some more tweaks that could
still be done here, such as bringing the keyframing operator entries
under a submenu too (as in the Object mode version) to get the length
of this under control.
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.
