needed to add a small value to the baking distance for it to include faces of that distance (maybe should make this happen from the user interface too)
* Added Normalize option for diplacement so everything in the 'Dist' range is mapped 0-1
* Increased the maximum Dist and Bias to1000.0 (was 10.0)
* Added python utility function in BPyRender.py - bakeToPlane(...), to automate heightmap, normalmap generation for Crystalspace.
using mface->flag for both.
Also found that the cdDM_drawMappedFaces and cdDM_drawFacesTex_common could get normals mixed up when rendering hidden faces. because hidden/invisible faces used continue without advancing to the next normal.
an error in Scene.c - scn.Layers disallowd all layer bits to be set.
made image_billboard.py rotate all images to be verticle for more efficient packing, added the option not to pack resulting images into 1.

Render Billboard Script
This can texture a simple billboard mesh from any number of selected objects.
Renders objects in the selection to quad faces on the active mesh.
Usage
* Light your model or enable the shadless flag so it is visible
* Make a low poly mesh out of quads with 90d corners. (this will be you billboard mesh)
* Select the model and any lamps that light it
* Select the billboard mesh so that it is active
* Run this script, Adjust settings such as image size or oversampling.
* Select a place to save the PNG image.
* Once the script has finished running return to the 3d view by pressing Shift+F5
* To see the newly applied textures change the drawtype to 'Textured Solid'
uv_archimap still had python based line intersect
added plane2matrix function to BPyMathutils
added an optional arg to imageFromObjectsOrtho - camera_matrix
camera_matrix can be used to define a plane in 3d space where X and Y scale is used to set the width and height of the area to render.
BPyRender.imageFromObjectsOrtho() returns an image
Made all image bake scripts ask before overwriting a file. as well as displaying the newly created image once its rendered.
Added better docscrings
Added a texture baker for procedural textures,
Its able to make a WYSIWYG image from the texture, by using the texmesh property, so texture coords arnt lost up when flattening the mesh.
Use a high res image not to see any seams
- bake wire
- bake image
- bake vcol
- bake normals
Fitting all the options for these into 1 PupBlock was not good.
An example of 4 different baking made from these scripts
http://members.iinet.net.au/~cpbarton/temp.png
Added options to use material colors (can be multiplied with vcol)
Added wire option for UV Export type functionality. (implys no bleeding)
Added Option to render with no oversampling
changed alpha blending
usefull for baking radiosity back into an image (with non overlapping UV's) and also has an option for including the texface image, and using normals (instead of colors)
Added BPyRender with a utility function to render off an ortho image from a number of objects.
