Campbell Barton b2956ecd00 BMesh Merge
===========

initial merge from BMesh branch,

this replaces the existing mesh format and editmode data structures, for more info see:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:2.6/Source/Modeling/BMesh

this is the work of quite a few developers over the years.


Key Contributors
================

* Geoffrey Bantle (aka) Briggs, original author.
* Joe Eager (aka) joeedh

More recently
* Howard Trickey
* Ender79 aka Ender79 :)


What to Expect
==============

In general blender shouldnt crash on files or totally fail to load scenes,
painting tools etc have been tested to work.

* its quite easy to make the tesselator fail (show holes, missing faces), with non planer ngons.
* most modifiers are working fine but a few had to be re-written - bevel, array - array is much slower, bevel will probably be changed to match trunk soon.
* NavMesh BGE feature isn't functional yet.
* Some UV sticth tools still need porting.
* hair doesnt work right on ngons yet.
* many python scripts will break.
* a python api to BMesh needs to be written still.

(for todo's in code do a searh for BMESH_TODO)

environment-macosx shapekeys are now stored as customdata in editmode, so edit operations like subdivide work (mostly) correctly. tesselated faces now store correct normals in more situations. and added more missing files from the last merge, there may be more though. 2009-11-02 06:33:16 +00:00
