Joins some things to the same row and uses aligned columns to get
minimum use of vertical space.
Probably still some tweaks required, but getting there :)
When WITH_INPUT_NDOF is disabled, 3D mouse handling code is removed
from:
- GHOST (was mostly done, finished the job)
- window manager
- various editors
- RNA
- keymaps
The input tab of user prefs does not show 3D mouse settings. Key map
editor does not show NDOF mappings.
DNA does not change.
On my Mac the compiled binary is 42KB smaller after this change. It
runs fine WITH_INPUT_NDOF on or off.
For now simply reshuffle option so they keep proper dependency flow.
Benefits:
- Has an ability to hide tracks lists to work with other sliders around.
Could be really handy to quickly get rid of lenghty lists.
- From a feedback seems to be fitting workflow better.
Things to doublecheck on:
- Feels a bit misordered: first you define whether one want to have
rotation stabilized, then have tracks, then scale options.
While this follows dependency flow (which is really good and which
we should not violate) it has weird feeling on whether things are
really where they have to be.
- Autoscale controls visibility of max-scale, can we just make it
active/inactive instead?
- Autoscale replaces slider with label. Can it be disabled slider
instead to reduce visual jumping (disabled slider prevents user
input)
Hopefully we'll still want to have collapsable box after re-iterating
over this points, so we don't waste bits in DNA.

This proposal attempts to improve usability of Blender's image stabilization
feature for real-world footage esp. with moving and panning camera. It builds
upon the feature tracking to get a measurement of 2D image movement.
- Use a weighted average of movement contributions (instead of a median).
- Allow for rotation compensation and zoom (image scale) compensation.
- Allow to pick a different set of tracks for translation and for
rotation/zoom.
- Treat translation / rotation / zoom contributions systematically in a
similar way.
- Improve handling of partial tracking data with gaps and varying
start / end points.
- Have a user definable anchor frame and interpolate / extrapolate data to
avoid jumping back to "neutral" position when no tracking data is available.
- Support for travelling and panning shots by including an //intended//
position/rotation/zoom ("target position"). The idea is for these parameters
to be //animated// by the user, in order to supply an smooth, intended
camera movement. This way, we can keep the image content roughly in frame
even when moving completely away from the initial view.
A known shortcoming is that the pivot point for rotation compensation is set to
the translation compensated image center. This can produce spurious rotation on
travelling shots, which needs to be compensated manually (by animating the
target rotation parameter). There are several possible ways to address that
problem, yet all of them are considered beyond the scope of this improvement
proposal for now.
Own modifications:
- Restrict line length, it's really handy for split-view editing
- In motion tracking we prefer fully human-readable comments, meaning we
don't use doxygen with it's weird markup and comments are supposed to
start with capital and end with a full stop,
- Add explicit comparison of pointer to NULL.

All in all, this patch adds an Alembic importer, an Alembic exporter,
and a new CacheFile data block which, for now, wraps around an Alembic
archive. This data block is made available through a new modifier ("Mesh
Sequence Cache") as well as a new constraint ("Transform Cache") to
somewhat properly support respectively geometric and transformation data
streaming from alembic caches.
A more in-depth documentation is to be found on the wiki, as well as a
guide to compile alembic: https://wiki.blender.org/index.php/

Many thanks to everyone involved in this little project, and huge shout
out to "cgstrive" for the thorough testings with Maya, 3ds Max, Houdini
and Realflow as well as @fjuhec, @jensverwiebe and @jasperge for the
custom builds and compile fixes.

* "Flip direction" -> "Flip Direction"
* "Show drawing direction" -> "Show Directions"
* "Grease Pencil Curves" -> "Brush Curves"
(I was considering "Brush Response Curves" instead, but that seemed like too much
of a mouthful)
* "X" for removing a palette. The UI there was more similar to a standard datablock
selector, so it should use the "+X" combo instead of "+-" combo for consistency.
(Note though, presets tend to use "+-" instead - e.g. see the Render Settings)
Group membership testing for including/excluding feature lines was not
accounting for object names possibly further qualified by library file
paths.
Also fixed a few potential (but unlikely) references of uninitialized
variables.
A big thank to Bastien Montagne for the insight on the cause of the
problem and how to fix it.
This patch improves UI of a recently added solver preference in boolean modifier:
{F331776}
Issue with the current UI is that it shows user unnecessary information and breaks established grid layout.

This adds the ability for cloth simulations to respect changes in the underlying mesh.
So you can for instance, animate shape keys, armatures, or add any deformation modifiers (above the cloth modifier).
This is mainly useful for (but not limited to) cartoon animations,
where your character might stretch or change shape, and you want the clothes to follow accordingly.

Subdivision options can now be found in the subsurf modifier. The modifier must
be the last in the stack or the options will be unavailable. Catmull-Clark
subdivision is still unavailable and will fallback to linear subdivision instead

This mostly affects physics panels. Any engines relying on
RenderEngine.use_game_engine flag to show/hide panels will need to be
updated. The COMPAT_ENGINES technique is how we usually deal with this.
One issue with use_game_engine is that I cannot find a way to set it; it
appears only the BGE can set it. This means (without this commit)
external RenderEngines cannot get rid of the default physics panels.
The RE_GAME flag (the C flag behind use_game_engine) is pretty hacky
and we should look into removing its usage where possible.
We need to leave tweak mode before trying to modifiy the action as doing
so will leave Blender in a semi-corrupted state.
