Final (?) updates for 2.40 :) :
- Bob Holcomb sent a better version of his 3ds importer
- Added doc info to bvh2arm: links to doc and mocap tute from author
Jean-Baptiste Perin
- Alessandro Pirovano improved the Lightwave importer.
- Mikael Lagre updated the collada scripts (fixed a bug with camera
lens value)
- Adam Saltsman improved the wings importer (ongoing work with
his pal Toastie).
- Anthony D'Agostino GPL'd his scripts (used Blender's BAL
license previously)
Thanks to all script authors for their work, interest and kindness.
Again, Tom (LetterRip) has played an important part in this, thanks and
welcome :).
Vpaint/weight/texture/UV modes were disabling zbuffer draw after drawing
the active object, causing objects to be drawn after (only selected ones)
to have no zbuffer on.
More bump issues... Env made very nice examples, but all of it quite nasty
to solve.
Three improvements I found nevertheless:
- bug in mipmap code for bump gave errors in one derivate, causing aliasing
- when Image texture option "Clip" was used, the imagetexture function
returned wrong value, causing the caller to create own normal based on
color (zero!).
- Mipmapped bump now also interpolates the samples (never did this...)
Shift+ctrl+A "Apply deformation" didn't work anymore, since we got the
Modifier stack. I've inserted a notice there for now, to point users to
the proper buttons.
Uninitialized 'alpha' flag in Image texture could cause render errors.
Didn't show in OSX though... (stupid system here inits stack to zero).
But, Ken Hughes found this, so all credits are for him!
Using the MMB constraint chooser in Transform, accidentally printed the
setting from the orientation menu (Local, View, Normal).
Martin: not sure if this a solid fix... the print now looks fine, but the
code isn't nicer this way. :) (just a one liner change though!).
For anyone who is interested in boxpacking the logic isnt
that complex and lscm could benifit from using it.
Archimap will use this rather then having the boxpacker inline.
- A Vanpoucke (xand) updated Axis Orientation Copy.
- Additions:
- Campbell Barton contributed the Archimap UV Unwrapper.
- Mikael Lagre contributed Collada importer and exporter (ongoing
work, no support for animation yet).
Thanks to them!
handling callbacks that checked for double names... this was caused by
a bugfix I did a week ago for ESC on rename button in outliner.
Discovered in time by Andy, thanks!
a the beztriple, so things like the hidden and handle select states were
set to random values. Added a beztriple.hide attribute so that the
hide attribute can be set/cleared from the BPy API.
- Mirror bone weights contributed by Thomas Oppl.
- Softimage XSI exporter contributed by Elira (with updates by Mal
Duffin).
Again, thanks to the authors mentioned. And to Tom (LetterRip) for
contacting the authors and making suggestions about scripts we should
include.
for Groups in official release still, which will give very bad results when
loading an Orange branch file with bf-blender, save over, and read back
in Orange branch.
Now, reading files with Groups in bf-blender will just completely ignore
them (not read nor save). That's destructive, but normal behaviour and
stable.
- Jean-Baptiste Perin updated his bvh to armatures script to use the new
armature module.
- Johnny Matthews (guitargeek) contributed "Shape Widget Wizard". (Moved
it to the Animation menu in Scripts win)
- Benoit Foucque (dienben) contributed "Blender Lip Synchro".
Thanks to the three authors!
- added import and export scripts for 3ds and md2 (Quake 2) models
contributed by author Bob Holcomb. Thanks!
- updated ac3d importer to be more forgiving and exporter to get rid of
deprecated call.
More additions and possibly fixes to come.
Note: we're forming a group to take care of importers and exporters and
improve the situation as a whole in Blender. Discussions should happen
at the bf-scripts-dev mailing list:
http://projects.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-scripts-dev
Thanks Tom Musgrove (LetterRip) for helping a lot with scripts.
- On file reading, a check is added to see if a Pose has channels to
missing bones. Poses are supposed to match an Armature completely.
(Thanks for crash file, Johnny!... but how did you do it!)
- Own collection: added depsgraph update on setting all layers (with the
ACCENTGRAVEKEY). This also could potentially crash with modifiers
- Renamed Xkey menu in NLA to more properly tell what it does. :)
