Added support for working on delta transformations instead of plain
transform. this should help the fact that you cant randomize animated
objects (still need to check into that)
Removed minimun scale since it was not well done, need a stronger
version of this
* New option to "Regrow hair" for each frame.
* This was perhaps more a feature request, but there was a similar useful feature called "animated hair" in particles at some point.
* The previous behavior for hair growing was inconsistent to say the least, so this is a nice option to have.
graph editor:
- option "extend mode" requires channel-selection. Moved pulldown menu
from Key to Channel instead
- hotkey SHIFT+E for same operation now works both in channel list as in
main view.
* Textures applied to halo materials showed influence option for normal particles. This was really confusing, and with the cleanup I revealed a couple of hidden features too!
** Particles actually allow for textures to change halo size and hardness, but my guess is that nobody knew since the names were wrong in the ui!
** I also added the option to change the "add" value with a texture, since it was just silly not to have it.
* Halo material properties are also a bit cleaner now.
- This is working correctly but confusing, made more confusing by UI problems, corrected these and updated tooltop for 'tex.use_rgb_to_intensity'
- bad RNA arguments used for lamps (left over from RNA renaming).
- use isinstance(...), rather then comparing type() directly, this failed with lamp type checks.
- removed redundant argument to internal texture UI function factor_but().
- the texture color was drawn inactive when it was used in some cases.
Note. AFAIK its not possible to do a general check to see if a texture is colored or not, eg: its possible a plugin texture returns color in some cases and greyscale in others.
so for now always have color button active.
- Part of this report is a misunderstanding, but there was no access to bold/italic fonts.
- Added rna access and changed the operators to use only rna properties.
Python Operator "Delete Edge Loop" (which keeps mesh connected)
changed selection if sliding operator failed. Simply added a
check for return value. Gosh, that Python code is not bad ;)
Texture face options like "two side" were invisible, unless the
top bar "render engine" was set to Game Engine.
This is confusing, since 3d window does draw these options well.
Added back panel to show default, but with a label warning that
the options are not supported for render.
- a linear float buffer was being created and saved into a non-linear DPX/Cineon file.
- removed the UI since the settings are not used at the moment.
added a utility function IMB_float_profile_ensure(), which returns a float buffer in the requested profile, using the existing if needed or returning an allocated buffer if the profile is different to that of the ImBuf. - Useful this case where the save function has its own linear setting.
* Separate caches were causing quite a lot of problems both in principle and practice.
* For example it doesn't really make sense to have different frame ranges for normal and high resolution smoke, but this was fully possible before.
* Also to fully bake the smoke you had to do a "Bake All Dynamics", which completely defeats the whole point of the feature!
* As a result of this change the smoke cache usage is much much simpler and less error prone.
* This is quite a big change, but hopefully there should be less rather than more problems as a result :)
Some other related changes:
* Changing the cache name now works for disk caches properly too, it now just renames the cache files so should be faster too!
* Smoke is now always forced to disk cache with step 1 on file load as there were some strange cases where smoke was trying to use memory cache.
* Disabled smoke debug prints from console.
* Disabled changing smoke parameters when smoke is baked.
Note to users: The unfortunate side effect of this is that old high resolution simulations have to be baked again, but in return you get much better and more logical functionality. Sorry none the less!
