Support for jpeg2000 and writing DCI Cinema standard files.
Notes
* 12 and 16bit channel depths are converted from/to blenders float buffer.
* Grayscale/RGB with alpha supported.
* Theres an option to save color channels as YCC rather then RGB.
* Quality 100 saves lossless
* The UI is a bit weired because of the DCI standards need to be given to the encoder.
This implement the option of playback an animation using the
step value in the render panel (or -a -j).
Tested here and work fine, about the ffmpeg/avi bug it's my
fault, I don't think in "step + video format", so now it's
in my todo-list :)
to compile blender with gcc on IRIX, IRIX_USE_GCC needs to be set to true in
user-def.mk.
Other changes related to irix:
* compile solid from extern/
* don't build plugins (yet) with "make release" when using gcc (the shell
script used assumes MIPSpro is installed)
* use statvfs instead of statfs on irix, like done on solaris
* use external libs from $(LCGDIR) instead of /usr/freeware
* use glew header files from $(LCGDIR)/glew instead of the ones installed on
the system (this applies to other platforms as well)
* ffmpeg support currently is disabled on irix
* subsurf code had a lot of unused variables, removed these where they are obviously not needed. commented if they could be useful later.
* some variables declorations hide existing variables (many of these left), but fixed some that could cause confusion.
* removed unused vars
* obscure python memory leak with colorband.
* make_sample_tables had a loop running wasnt used.
* if 0'd functions in arithb.c that are not used yet.
* made many functions static
add -nojoystick commandline option: it takes 5 seconds everytime to start the game engine, while there IS no joystick.
In other words: blender -noaudio -nojoystick improves workflow turnaround times for P - ESC from 7 seconds to 1 second!
Improved Bullet soft body advanced options, still work-in-progress. Make sure to create game Bullet soft bodies from scratch, it is not compatible with last weeks builds.
Commit patch #7788, allow to set the render step, so it's
possible make render every N frames only.
The step is change in Scene buttons (F10), below start and
end frame buttons.
Also add a command line options (-j), so it's possible to
overwrite the file step (useful for renderfarm).
[ Brecht, this work with OpenGL renders and simulated
the skipped frames, please double check ]
Bug #17599:
Summary: Python constraints, good in 2.46 not working anymore in 2.47
http://projects.blender.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=125&aid=17599&group_id=9
Improved my old hack to avoid frame changed scriptlinks from running when rendering stills, should fix this bug. It also causes REDRAW scriptlinks to be executed during renders, but that conforms to how FRAMECHANGED ones work.
BTW: this can still be improved. The current system meant to disable all Python functionality at once needs imo to be replaced by one that allows to enable / disable per feature (scriptlinks, pyconstraints, pynodes, etc.). A better way to inform scriptlinks about what is going on (render, anim, render anim, etc.) would also help. Will discuss with others.
the features that are needed to run the game. Compile tested with
scons, make, but not cmake, that seems to have an issue not related
to these changes. The changes include:
* GLSL support in the viewport and game engine, enable in the game
menu in textured draw mode.
* Synced and merged part of the duplicated blender and gameengine/
gameplayer drawing code.
* Further refactoring of game engine drawing code, especially mesh
storage changed a lot.
* Optimizations in game engine armatures to avoid recomputations.
* A python function to get the framerate estimate in game.
* An option take object color into account in materials.
* An option to restrict shadow casters to a lamp's layers.
* Increase from 10 to 18 texture slots for materials, lamps, word.
An extra texture slot shows up once the last slot is used.
* Memory limit for undo, not enabled by default yet because it
needs the .B.blend to be changed.
* Multiple undo for image painting.
* An offset for dupligroups, so not all objects in a group have to
be at the origin.
Render/postrender events were missing from bg rendering (and also from rendering called inside scripts). Found this because of bug #17389, the code to prevent race conditions with pynodes is currently inside BPY_do_all_scripts (that runs scriptlinks) and so was not being called in bg mode or rendering via scripts.

Originally the only way to run scripts automatically was with scriptlinks, which could be disabled for loading untrusted blend files.
Since then PyDrivers and PyConstraints would run even when G.f&G_DOSCRIPTLINKS was disabled.
Gensher, Theeth and Ianwill agree its acceptable to reuse the flag for other areas python runs automatically.
PyNodes still have no way to be disabled, (todo before 2.46a)
was calling screenmain() before executing the python script which meant it was never executed (therefore no crash :) )
Moved screenmain() back to the the end of main() and added a TESTBASELIB_BGMODE which checks for G.vd and uses the scene layer if its not there. Of course python should not be running stuff that uses G.vd :/
Also made python scripts stay attached to screens when LOAD UI is disabled. This means you can load a new blend file and the python console can stay open, has been tested for a while in the apricot branch.
For *nix sustems, recent physics pointcache refactor uses stdio.h's remove() rather then system("rm -f ...") for removing files, since it was a lot slower for removing pointcache.
Ton used the system command because there was some problem using remove() ~6years back, but he cant remember why, (maybe its not a problem now)
Simple error, remove wasn't returning a value, but keep an eye out for problems removing files, and if anyone can reproduce the "Unable to make version backup" problem when saving, we should look into it.
Also added a note about using # in the output path for blenders command line help text.
This makes it so the following are equal.
blender -w -p 0 0 500 500
blender -p 0 0 500 500 -w
Just move initalization for full screen to before the loop starts.
so it doesn't matter where a -p shows up to override fullscreen.

Also made rem_from_group return if it removed the object which save some looping.
Added a node in the blender help message that background mode dosnt load the .B.blend file as a bug was reported recently because of this.
also removed FTYPE as an optional format (TODO - remove FTYPE from render output panel since you cant use FTYPE anymore and its not used internally, hint hint)
