it is now in a state where it can be safely
merged with trunk.
Note: basic icons were provided but I'm not
an icondesigner and working in a 16x15 grid
is way too small for me, so feel free to
change them.
added icon for 'Toggle Bookmark Area'
disabled the bookmarks for databrowse
allow to add path inside .blend file (could be nice to use as material library for example)
Based on feedback from Ton, I've recoded the way "PoseLibs" are implemented/exposed. Therefore, quite a bit of code has been changed to fit this in better.
Now, ANY ACTION can be a "PoseLib". A set of Markers which belong to the Action (it's taken a year, but they're finally back), are used to tag "poses" in the Action. These markers are shown using diamond-shaped blue icons (designed by Matt Ebb) in three shades - unselected/normal, selected, active.
Notes:
* Each Armature Object has an Action which acts as a PoseLib.
* Improved UI presented in buttons panel for this
-- added proper buttons for action assigning
-- renamed "Validate PoseLib" to "Auto-Sync PoseLib" (this option auto-tags poses based on keyframes found)
Like in the 3d-view, use the hotkeys:
* Shift-L to add a local marker
* Ctrl-Shift-L to rename a local marker
* Alt-L to delete selected local markers
Note: transforms, etc. are not currently available with these markers
== PoseLib Preview ==
Added a few features here:
* Left/Right-Arrow keys now change the poses too (previous and next respectively)
* Up/Down-Arrow keys also change the poses, but "jump" to a pose 5 steps away in their respective directions
=========
Merge of the famous particle patch by Janne Karhu, a full rewrite
of the Blender particle system. This includes:
- Emitter, Hair and Reactor particle types.
- Newtonian, Keyed and Boids physics.
- Various particle visualisation and rendering types.
- Vertex group and texture control for various properties.
- Interpolated child particles from parents.
- Hair editing with combing, growing, cutting, .. .
- Explode modifier.
- Harmonic, Magnetic fields, and multiple falloff types.
.. and lots of other things, some more info is here:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/Particles_Rewritehttp://wiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/Particles_Rewrite_Doc
The new particle system cannot be backwards compatible. Old particle
systems are being converted to the new system, but will require
tweaking to get them looking the same as before.
Point Cache
===========
The new system to replace manual baking, based on automatic caching
on disk. This is currently used by softbodies and the particle system.
See the Cache API section on:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/PhysicsSprint
Documentation
=============
These new features still need good docs for the release logs, help
for this is appreciated.
Changed how the sticky setting is stored in DNA - (as a char rather then 2 flags).
replaced the UV/FACE icon with another needed for the sticky menu.
removed 2 unused icons.
commented the UV transform panel since it only had 2 buttons in it.
depgraph update calls needed to be added to Ctrl+V/E/F menu's because some commands were crashing.
Initial commit of imagebrowser in trunk.
BIG COMMIT!
Main changes:
* completely reworked imasel space
* creation and storage of the preview images for materials, textures, world and lamp
* thumbnails of images and movie files when browsing in the file system
* loading previews from external .blend when linking or appending
* thumbnail caching according to the Thumbnail Managing Standard: http://jens.triq.net/thumbnail-spec/
* for now just kept imasel access mostly as old imgbrowser (CTRL+F4, CTRL+F1) a bit hidden still.
* filtering of file types (images, movies, .blend, py,...)
* preliminary managing of bookmarks ('B' button to add, XKEY while bookmark active to delete)
More detailed info which will be updated here: http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Elubie/PreviewImageBrowser
Places that need special review (and probably fixes):
* BLO_blendhandle_get_previews in readblenentry
* readfile.c: do_version and refactorings of do_library_append
* UI integration
TODO and known issues still:
* Accented characters do not display correctly with international fonts
* Crash was reported when browsing in directory with movie files
* Bookmark management still needs some UI work (second scrollbar?), feedback here is welcome!

Samir Bharadwaj (samirbharadwaj@yahoo.com) for the icon images.
Many thanks to everyone who gave feedback and helped so far!
Added new defines for the icons used to show this, on the request of Matt Ebb. For now, the eye icons have simply been duplicated to the new spaces, but 'more descriptive' icons should be made.
Added new icons by 'jendrzych' for sculpt mode and transform snapping. I'll be
doing a lot more on this in the next release cycle, but I'm bringing these icons
over now since they're new features and we don't really have any icons for them
at the present.
Vertex color node worked only if VCol Paint/Light was enabled. Fixed
that, and removed the vertex color node making it part of the geometry
node instead.
Also, preview.blend had black vertex colors for the sphere, so set them
to white like the other primitives.
Snap/Grid icon button in 3D view header (edit mesh). FIXME NOTICE: make nice looking icons (yes, that's for you Matt)
When snap is on, a drop down appears for the target method (closest, median, center)
Hotkey to toggle snap is Shift-Tab (this was previously used for a not totally equivalent to Tab. Ton said OK to scrap it). That hotkey is currently restricted to edit mesh (where snap is currently restricted).
Changed a couple of ugliness on how snap settings are stored.
This is another proportional edit falloff that slightly randomises the
influence. It's not strictly random, it's blended with linear falloff so that
it's a bit smoother. The nice thing is that it works with all transforms, axis
locking etc, including the special ones like to sphere, shrink/fatten/etc. It
can be used for all sorts of things like roughening surfaces. I most recently
used it to add a bit of randomness to the folds of some cloth. I
made a short demo video here: http://mke3.net/blender/etc/prop_random-h264.mov
Also included nicer icons for the falloff types.
you can click on the 'Sample' button, to sample any colour on the Blender
screen. This is really useful in the compositor, and would probably be good for
sampling footage in any eventual chroma key nodes that may be made, too.
LMB to pick the colour, ESC or RMB to cancel.
The preview.blend now shows raytracing/transparency, and also turns on and off
the fake shadow based on the 'shadbuf' setting.
Also included an updated preview.blend file to accomodate this.
- Improved lighting and background (also turned off shadows, unnecessary and
a potential slowdown in generating the preview)
- UV unwrapped the sphere and monkey models, so you can actually see something
useful when a texture is mapped to UV
- Added a 'hair' preview option (reused sphere icon will be eventually
forthcoming)
PET is now checked as a transform flag during transform. Much cleaner that way for NOPET context (extrude, duplicate)
Added Sphere as a new PET falloff mode (icon and all) and reordered them around in a more logical fashion (IMHO).
Also brought back Subsurf toggle with Shift-O (was supposed to be for PET object mode but that was canned).
3d Cursor, only Ob Centers
Median Point, only Ob Centers
They prevent rotation/scaling from effecting the scale/rotation of the objects and just effects their position.
This is handy for aligning objects if you constrain to an axis and scale, as well as other neato things :)
Intrr came up with the code and I hacked it into the GUI
The png file containing the icons, 'blenderbuttons', was updated to contain
these new icons. It now also contains the icons from the 2.30 ui makeover.
The file had not been updated since then.
junkies will be happy to find the datatoc.c program in the
datafiles directory).
Some quick notes:
* 'datafiles' has the version 2.21 splash.jpg and blenderbuttons (e.g., so
no NLA icon). Someone should at least get the 2.25 blenderbuttons from
somewhere and commit them.
* 'text' has obsolete content/license
* I did not include the python scripts as they have copyright
Jan Walter and no license specified.
* I changed to unix line terminators everywhere with the exeption of the
'windows' directory.
