patch from Masaru Nemoto (mnemoto)
Made some modifications to the patch, use reduce() to get total face verts and some speedup for face vcol looping, also don't write vcol alpha since its used by brushes internally and has no useful meaning.
export_fbx - blender cameras now work properly (converted lens angle, rotate to the right axis)
Made meshes, armatures and cameras use the same namespace.
DirectX8Exporter - update from David Teviotdale, change names of exported objects so some DX readers dont fail
xsi_export - Null materials made the export fail (python error).
This may not be a correct solution since material indicies could be messed up now. I have no way of reading these files.
When through and replaced the obvious ones but there are still a a few Id rather not touch without more about whats going on.
Did quite a few changes to export-iv also.
The orange -> HEAD merge reverted some scripts to older versions. This only
affected the ones that already existed before the orange branch.
Minor issue, easy to fix.
All in all, kudos to kaito, Hos and others for all the hard work in
bringing (coding, merging) all these changes to the main branch.
- Discombobulator by Evan R and DirectX8 Exporter by Ben Omari.
BPython:
- Crashed Blender while testing discombobulator: obj.setMaterials() was not checking if the passed obj had valid obj->data. If the object had been created and not linked yet to a mesh, a crash would happen when trying to sync ob and me material lists. Now an error is returned. Also made obj.setMaterials accept an empty list, since obj.getMaterials can return that.
Thanks to the script authors for the updated versions and special thanks to Tom (LetterRip) for collecting info about updated and new scripts, sending me updates I had missed, etc.
-- adding help_browser.py to show help for installed scripts;
-- updated scripts to include basic doc info to be shown with above script:
script authors can / will / should update with more info, of course;
-- updated some scripts to newer versions: disp_paint, fixfromarmature, hotkeys, etc.
- Ben Omari sent an update version of his DirectX8.py, Jean-Michel Soler updated his disp_paint.py and Campbell Barton contributed a new one: sel_same.py (for now it's in the UV menu). Thanks all, great scripts;
- small updates in some other scripts.
BPython:
- Finished wrapping radiosity functions for the Radio submodule;
- doc updates.
Campbell Barton updated his Wavefront OBJ scripts and Ben Omari updated his DirectX 7 and 8 ones (thanks both). The other listed scripts had minor updates to accomodate the menu changes.
- Scripts in menus:
renamed Tools to Object, Generators to Add, and Modifiers to Mesh (Metaball, Curve, Surface can be added later), to integrate better in the interface.
- Fixed a bug in Blender.sys.makename: last letter of file extension was being cut out.
