Joshua Leung 264c8d94f9 == Limit Distance Constraint ==
Added a new constraint, "Limit Distance". This constraint defines a 'virtual sphere' around the target which the owner can be made to stay inside, outside, or on the surface of it. 

This constraint is best used when applied using the Ctrl-Alt-C hotkey, as the radius is set correctly that way. 
One usage, is to prevent the target of an IK-chain from straying away from the chain. Care should be taken to not use a member of the IK-chain as the target though.

Description of Variables:
* 'Dist' - Radius of virtual sphere
* 'R' - Click on this to recalculate the 'Dist' value (note: like the 'R' button in the StretchTo constraint, this is currently buggy)
' Mode' - This menu gives different options for how the limiting sphere should act. The mode names are self explanatory.
* 'Soft' and 'SoftDistance' - currently not functional (so settings are hidden). These are used to define a smaller radius around the sphere of influence where a non-linear relationship between input and resulting locations occurs to prevent the owner 'crashing' into the sphere.

Welcome to the fun world of open source.

For instructions on building and installing Blender, please see the file named
INSTALL.


---------------------.Blanguages and the .blender directory---------------------

The .blender directory holds various data files for Blender.
In the 2.28a release those are the .Blanguages file containing a list of
translations, the translations themselves and a default ttf font.

Blender checks for the presence of this directory in several locations:
	- the current directory
	- your home directory
	- On OSX, the blender bundle is also checked 
	- On Windows, the installation dir is checked.

If you get a 'File ".Blanguages" not found' warning, try to copy the .blender
dir to one of these locations (your home directory being recommended).
