Handle these 2 kinds of script paths
* user script path: ~/.blender/scripts OR $BLENDER_USER_SCRIPTS
* pref script path: always bpy.context.user_preferences.filepaths.script_directory
now both are returned by bpy.utils.script_paths()
This commit reshapes a bit runtime button info getter, by adding a new uiButGetStrInfo() which accepts a variable number of uiStringInfo parameters, and tries to fill them with the requested strings, for the given button (label, tip, context, RNA identifier, keymap, etc.). Currently used mostly by existing ui_tooltip_create(), and new UI_OT_edittranslation_init operator.
It also adds a few getters (to get RNA i18n context, and current language iso code).
Finally, it adds to C operators needed for the py ui_translation addon:
*UI_OT_edittranslation_init, which gathers requested data and launch the py operator.
*UI_OT_reloadtranslation, which forces a full reload of the whole UI translation (including rechecking the directory containing mo files).
For the first operator to work, it also adds a new user preferences path: i18n_branches_directory, to point to the /branch part of a bf-translation checkout.
1. first pass only fast nodes are calculated and only to the active
viewer node
2. second pass all nodes to all outputs
Temp disabled highlights because of random crashes.
* Elbeem exporter code now overrides user settings to No Slip in case the object is animated;
* UI of fluid obstacles now disables slip settings when export animated is enabled;
* Added in this later option's tooltip a mention that it enforces No Slip!
The transform operators in nodes will now use the unselected nodes to generate snapping points. Unlike object snapping, node snapping works for the x/y axes separately and snaps node borders to same borders of unselected nodes. The sensitive area for node borders extends over the whole view2D range, to enable simple alignment of nodes in both x and y direction.
For snap points in the node editor an additional enum value is stored to indicate the type of node border (left/right/top/bottom). This works as a constraint on possible node alignments: only same border types align with each other.
Snapping actually was working already, but grid spacing was set to 1.0, which is basically pixel size in the node editor. Increased this to 1x grid step for fine snapping and 5x grid step for rough snapping.
Grid drawing in node editor now draws 2 levels in slightly different shades to indicate the different snapping modes better.
Node editor also supports the general use_snap tool setting to enable automatic snapping during transform. For now only the incremental snapping is supported, in future could be extended to enable alignment between nodes in a number of ways.
Problem was py code of main texture panel was not doing any check on the pinned id, assuming it managed the textures itself - but this is not the case of the Object datablock...
All work actually done by Sergey, was just missing the Lamp specific case. Checked both in code and with tests, quite sure all cases are now correctly handled!
Near sensors only pick up "actors," but objects with character physics did not have the actor option displayed. By setting the character physics object to actor, it can be picked up by the near sensor. However, it collides with the near sensor, which sounds like bug [#31701]
Issue was caused by some stuff happenign in wm_operator_finish() which uses
to somehow restore changes made by transformation invoke function.
Solved by not calling translation operator directly from duplication operator
(which is in fact really tricky) and use macros instead. This macros calls
duplication operator which simply duplicates strip, and then calls translation
operator.
In contrast to start_frame (which affects on where footage actually
starts to play and also affects on all data associated with a clip
such as motion tracking, reconstruction and so on) this slider only
affects on a way how frame number is mapping to a filename, without
touching any kind of tracking data.
The formula is:
file_name = clip_file_name + frame_offset - (start_frame - 1)
- Display track's reprojection error in dopesheet
- Make sure track is selected when clicking on dopesheet channel
- Attempt to make headers a bit cleaner without long labels which
doesn't actually make sense.
It was a bit confusing to synchronize settings used in pre-calculated
dopesheet channels which was storing in tracking data with settings
used for display which is in space data.
This was initially done by converting one flags to other and checking
if space's settings matches pre-calculated one, but that had several
issues if two different dopesheet are using different settings:
- Channels would be re-calculated on every redraw for each of spaces
- Dopesheet operators could fail due to the could be using channels
calculated for other space.
That was also quite nasty code checking if requested settings matches
pre-calculated one.
Added option to use Grease Pencil datablock as a mask for pattern
when doing motion tracking. Option could be found in Tracking Settings
panel.
All strokes would be rasterized separately from each other and every
stroke is treating as a closed spline.
Also added option to apply a mask on track preview which is situated
just after B/B/W channel button under track preview.
===========================================
Major list of changes done in tomato branch:
- Add a planar tracking implementation to libmv
This adds a new planar tracking implementation to libmv. The
tracker is based on Ceres[1], the new nonlinear minimizer that
myself and Sameer released from Google as open source. Since
the motion model is more involved, the interface is
different than the RegionTracker interface used previously
in Blender.
The start of a C API in libmv-capi.{cpp,h} is also included.
- Migrate from pat_{min,max} for markers to 4 corners representation
Convert markers in the movie clip editor / 2D tracker from using
pat_min and pat_max notation to using the a more general, 4-corner
representation.
There is still considerable porting work to do; in particular
sliding from preview widget does not work correct for rotated
markers.
All other areas should be ported to new representation:
* Added support of sliding individual corners. LMB slide + Ctrl
would scale the whole pattern
* S would scale the whole marker, S-S would scale pattern only
* Added support of marker's rotation which is currently rotates
only patterns around their centers or all markers around median,
Rotation or other non-translation/scaling transformation of search
area doesn't make sense.
* Track Preview widget would display transformed pattern which
libmv actually operates with.
- "Efficient Second-order Minimization" for the planar tracker
This implements the "Efficient Second-order Minimization"
scheme, as supported by the existing translation tracker.
This increases the amount of per-iteration work, but
decreases the number of iterations required to converge and
also increases the size of the basin of attraction for the
optimization.
- Remove the use of the legacy RegionTracker API from Blender,
and replaces it with the new TrackRegion API. This also
adds several features to the planar tracker in libmv:
* Do a brute-force initialization of tracking similar to "Hybrid"
mode in the stable release, but using all floats. This is slower
but more accurate. It is still necessary to evaluate if the
performance loss is worth it. In particular, this change is
necessary to support high bit depth imagery.
* Add support for masks over the search window. This is a step
towards supporting user-defined tracker masks. The tracker masks
will make it easy for users to make a mask for e.g. a ball.
Not exposed into interface yet/
* Add Pearson product moment correlation coefficient checking (aka
"Correlation" in the UI. This causes tracking failure if the
tracked patch is not linearly related to the template.
* Add support for warping a few points in addition to the supplied
points. This is useful because the tracking code deliberately
does not expose the underlying warp representation. Instead,
warps are specified in an aparametric way via the correspondences.
- Replace the old style tracker configuration panel with the
new planar tracking panel. From a users perspective, this means:
* The old "tracking algorithm" picker is gone. There is only 1
algorithm now. We may revisit this later, but I would much
prefer to have only 1 algorithm. So far no optimization work
has been done so the speed is not there yet.
* There is now a dropdown to select the motion model. Choices:
* Translation
* Translation, rotation
* Translation, scale
* Translation, rotation, scale
* Affine
* Perspective
* The old "Hybrid" mode is gone; instead there is a toggle to
enable or disable translation-only tracker initialization. This
is the equivalent of the hyrbid mode before, but rewritten to work
with the new planar tracking modes.
* The pyramid levels setting is gone. At a future date, the planar
tracker will decide to use pyramids or not automatically. The
pyramid setting was ultimately a mistake; with the brute force
initialization it is unnecessary.
- Add light-normalized tracking
Added the ability to normalize patterns by their average value while
tracking, to make them invariant to global illumination changes.

- optionally display the histogram as lines (not filled areas).
- expand the enum for faster access.
- keep the sample line displayed after doing the line sample (running again clears).
One side of change is related on making code easier to follow, due it started
being quite messy because of all in-lined mode/view checks. Now there's a bit
of code duplication, but it's much easier to see what's going on there.
Another side of patch is related on re-arranging elements in header in a way
that follows rule "depending elements are placed after elements they depends on".
This might be a bit against mostly-used-based elements placement, but now it's
much easier to figure out where to add new option. Also it fits better other
blender's areas such as image editor header, i.e.
Now it's indicates at which scene frame number movie clip starts playing back.
This this setting is still belongs to clip datavlock and used by all users of
clip such as movie compositor nodes, constraints and so.
After long discussion and thoughts about this it was decided that this would
match image's current behavior (which initially seen a bit crappy), but that's
actually allows:
- Keep semantics of start frame in image and clip datablocks in sync
- Allows to support features like support of loading image sequences
with crappy numbers in suffix which doesn't fit long int.
- Allows to eliminate extra boolean checkbox to control such kind of offset.
Hopefully from pipeline POV it wouldn't hurt because idea of having this things
implemented in original way was working only if sequence before processing
started naming form 001.
Self collision vertex groups enable artists to exclude selected vertices from getting involved in self collisions. This speeds simulations and it also resolves some self collision issues.
Number of start frame in opened image sequence used to be distinguished automatically
in a way that file name used on open would be displayed at scene frame #1.
But sometimes it's useful to have it manually configurable (like in cases when you're
processing image sequence and replacing clip's filepath to postprocessed image sequence
and want new clip to show at the same frame range as it was rendered from).
Added Custom Start Frame flag to movie clip (could be accessed from Footage panel in
clip editor) and Start Frame which means number of frame from sequence which would
be displayed at scene frame #1.
For example if you've got clip pointing to file render_00100.png and Start Frame of 100
this file would be displayed at scene frame #1, if Start Frame is 1 then this image
would be displayed at scene frame #100,
========================
The linear and angular thresholds set the speed limit (in m/s) and rotation limit (in rad/s)
under which a rigid body will go to sleep (stop moving) if it stays below the limits for a
time equal or longer than the deactivation time (sleeping is disabled is deactivation time is
set to 0).
These settings help reducing the processing spent on Physics during the game.
Previously they were only accessible from python but not working because of a bug.
Now the python functions are working and the settings are available in the Physics panel
of the World settings when using the Blender Game render engine.
Python API:
import PhysicsConstraints
PhysicsConstraints.setDeactivationLinearTreshold(float)
PhysicsConstraints.setDeactivationAngularTreshold(float)
===============================================
This patch adds a new "Character" BGE physics type which uses Bullet's btKinematicCharacter for simulation instead of full-blown dynamics. It is appropiate for (player-controlled) characters, for which the other physics types often result unexpected results (bouncing off walls, sliding etc.) and for which simple kinematics offers much more precision.
"Character" can be chosen like any other physics type in the "Physics" section of the properties window. Current settings for tweaking are "Step Height" (to make the object automatically climb small steps if it collides with them), "Fall Speed" (the maximum speed that the object can have when falling) and "Jump Speed", which is currently not used.
See http://projects.blender.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=127&aid=28476&group_id=9
for sample blends and a discussion on the patch: how to use it and what influences the behavior of the character object.
Known problem: there is a crash if the "compound" option is set in the physics panel of the Character object.
This commit restores the group colours support for F-Curves and F-Curve Groups
in the DopeSheet and Graph Editors. Currently the relevant settings for groups
are only exposed via RNA, but a followup commit will add support for
automatically setting these colours. By default, DopeSheet and Graph Editors are
set to display these colours if/when they are available.
This functionality used to be in 2.48, and is a useful mechanism for visually
distinguishing between channels for different controls when animating (if group
colours are used on the rigs too).
Restored single triangle for special menus, which still isn't perfect but
probably makes more sense.
Added drawflag bit flags to button, which is currently used to declare, that
button need to have up/down arrows. This is needed because it's tricky to
distinguish if button should have such arrows. For example, ID search buttons
is a simple block button which doesn't directly mean it'll have pop-up menu
and not all buttons which cases pop-up menu to display need to have such
arrows.
So currently only ID selector button is forcing up/down arrows to be displayed,
all the rest buttons now behaves in the same way as it used to be before.
The up/down triangle icon for menus was not drawing when a menu had
an icon; even though space was reserved there. Note: this can only
work now with removing the ugly "down triangle" icon from buttons like
next to the Material list box (button pops up menu with tools).
Looks nicer this way anyway.
Skin modifier documentation:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Nicholasbishop/SkinModifier
Implementation based in part off the paper "B-Mesh: A Fast Modeling
System for Base Meshes of 3D Articulated Shapes" (Zhongping Ji,
Ligang Liu, Yigang Wang)
Note that to avoid confusion with Blender's BMesh data structure,
this tool is renamed as the Skin modifier.
The B-Mesh paper is current available here:
http://www.math.zju.edu.cn/ligangliu/CAGD/Projects/BMesh/
The main missing features in this code compared to the paper are:
* No mesh evolution. The paper suggests iteratively subsurfing the
skin output and adapting the output to better conform with the
spheres of influence surrounding each vertex.
* No mesh fairing. The paper suggests re-aligning output edges to
follow principal mesh curvatures.
* No auxiliary balls. These would serve to influence mesh
evolution, which as noted above is not implemented.
The code also adds some features not present in the paper:
* Loops in the input edge graph.
* Concave surfaces around branch nodes. The paper does not discuss
how to handle non-convex regions; this code adds a number of
cleanup operations to handle many (though not all) of these
cases.
For an detailed user-level description of new features see the following blogpost:
http://code.blender.org/index.php/2012/05/node-editing-tweaks/
TL;DR:
* Frame node gets more usable bounding-box behavior
* Node resizing has helpful mouse cursor indicators and works on all borders
* Node selection/active colors are themeable independently
* Customizable background colors for nodes (useful for frames visual
distinction).
Averages input samples to make the brush stroke smoother. Only mouse
location is averaged right now, not pressure/tilt/etc.
The DNA is in struct Paint.num_input_samples, RNA is
Paint.input_samples. In combination with PaintStroke usage this change
applies to sculpt, vpaint, and wpaint.
The range of useful values varies quite a bit depending on input
device; mouse needs higher values to match tablet pen, so set max
samples pretty high (64).
Release note section:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Ref/Release_Notes/2.64/Sculpting#Input_Stroke_Averaging
* Code cleanup
* Fixed wrong label for Inverse Select in the Select menu
* Some layout tweaks for space saving and avoid abbreviations in the UI.
* "Image Offset" and "Image Crop" buttons were there twice, once in the Strip Input panel and once in the Effect Strip panel, show it in the Strip Input panel only now.
* Commented the third input fields ("input_3"), only used by the deprecated plugin system according to an RNA comment.
The remesh modifier doesn't currently get any data from original
faces, so even if the input mesh was entirely smooth none of the
output faces would be. Solved by adding a new
dna-flag/rna-bool/UI-checkbox to smooth shade the output.

* Use custom names for the keying options enum. The old automated layout dumped
out lengthy names which
didn't work well with the limited UI widths we were using, leading to all the
interesting stuff getting cropped out
* Moved the "array target" options to be in line with the rest of the target
specification stuff. I've ended up flattening that set of options into a single
row, which seems to work quite well.
* Removed label from grouping method enum. There was a perfectly good section
header above, and with narrow UI's, the name of this and the one below ended up
looking the same/confusing.
vertex_group_transfer_weight_exec() governs all.
Functions renamed/added with _transfer_weight_
as opposed to _copy_by_
This is to reflect changes in parameters and usage as the internal code will change.
Removing this option from the UI. Cyclic offset and/or other the myriad of other
half-working walk/stride cycle stuff has been removed pending further review at
a later date about what's really needed, and the best way to do so with regards
to different rig types (i.e. setup antagonistic).
Settings are shown in both the View3D toolbar and texture properties
panel; code is now in shared sculpt_brush_texture_settings() function
in properties_paint_common.py.
Also added a few new properties to the SculptCapabilities RNA to
replace "X in {Y, Z}" tests in the Python code.
Have to use a ugly hack, as for pose bones, rotscale transform matrix is not always the same as translate one... :/
Adresses feature request [#30979] snapping: "align rotation with the snapping target" and pose-mode.
* Changed Duplicate and Exture Operator fpr Curves/Surfaces to Duplicate/Extrude and Move, like for Mesh objects, for consistency. This is also consistent with Shift+D and E shortcut.
This fixes [#31429] Curve menu polish.
* Fixed a wrong tooltip for metaball duplication.
* Add CTRL+IKEY to invert the mask.
* Add ALT+MKEY to clear the mask.
* Change the 'Hide' menu in sculpt mode to 'Hide/Mask', adds entires
for clearing, filling, and inverting the mask, as well as hiding
masked regions.
- rename seqelements.push(file) --> filename
- rename SoundSequence.waveform --> show_waveform
- dont pass context to sequencer functions. editing any scenes sequence can be done, irrespective of context.
from Sebastian Nell (codemanx), with some edits
- Changed key shortcut to Shift+Enter.
- made into its own operator since it works differently to delete.
Now only one operator. Same options for vertices, edges and faces (so adds edges sorting, and some options to vertices sorting).
Face sorting should behave as previously. However, XSortVerts won’t pack anymore selected vertices at the begining of the vert array (as it used to), if you want such behavior you’ll have to first run SortElements with Selected action.
Also added bug ref I forgot in r46354 (armature.c).
for the contexts they appeared in
The VIEW3D_MT_transform menu was being used everywhere, although not all the
operators there applied to the current mode (e.g. the pivot point, animated
transforms to deltas, and a few others were Object-mode only). Split off the
offending parts into separate menus for the specific modes, and made these
extend the basic menu type.
As far as I could tell, these were really only still used for "virtual
modifiers", though we really don't use these anymore. Instead, most of the time,
people need to set these settings in armature modifiers directly (these didn't
even get copied over in that case). This was a source of confusion and
redundancy, so removing these now.
This change can be reverted if these were actually of some use out there...
* Added proper "update" operators in place of the abuse of the calculate
operators, so now the display ranges won't get overwritten everytime (with the
default values) you go to update the paths.
* Display range settings in properties editor now actually work. Before, the "In
Range" mode only displayed the entire paths.
For sample images see:
http://www.dalaifelinto.com/?p=399 (equisolid)
http://www.dalaifelinto.com/?p=389 (equidistant)
The 'use_panorama' option is now part of a new Camera type: 'Panorama'.
Created two other panorama cameras:
- Equisolid: most of lens in the market simulate this lens - e.g. Nikon, Canon, ...)
this works as a real lens up to an extent. The final result takes the
sensor dimensions into account also.
.:. to simulate a Nikon DX2S with a 10.5mm lens do:
sensor: 23.7 x 15.7
fisheye lens: 10.5
fisheye fov: 180
render dimensions: 4288 x 2848
- Equidistant: this is not a real lens model. Although the old equidistant lens simulate
this lens. The result is always as a circular fisheye that takes the whole sensor
(in other words, it doesn't take the sensor into consideration).
This is perfect for fulldomes ;)
For the UI we have 10 to 360 as soft values and 10 to 3600 as hard values (because we can).
Reference material:
http://www.hdrlabs.com/tutorials/downloads_files/HDRI%20for%20CGI.pdfhttp://www.bobatkins.com/photography/technical/field_of_view.html
Note, this is not a real simulation of the light path through the lens.
The ideal solution would be this:

Thanks Brecht for the fix, suggestions and code review.
Kudos for the dome community for keeping me stimulated on the topic since 2009 ;)
Patch partly implemented during lab time at VisGraf, IMPA - Rio de Janeiro.
Submitted by: Justin Dailey (dail)
Patch allows the current line (or selected lines) to be moved up and down with
Ctrl+Shift+Up and Ctrl+Shift+Down. Has undo/redo support and operators in python
menu.
All operators which changes tracking data now just tags dopsheet as outdated,
actual re-calculaiton of happens only when this information is actually needed
(like on dopesheet draw).
This makes things a bit faster when there's no dopesheet visible in current
screen and also makes it much easier to update dopesheet using dependency
graph.
Also renamed dopesheet_sort_order to dopesheet_sort_method in rna and internal
stuff which makes much more sense and also correlated with naming in
file browser.
Supported sorting by name, longest tracked segment and total tracked frames.
Internally tracks are stored in Tracking datablock, but sort order is
a clip editor space property and sorting happens on clip editor draw.
If there's no dopesheet opened with different sort orders it's not
a problem due to re-sorting wouldn't happen.
Also fixed draw issue of tracked segments introduced in previous commit.
This commit refactors the way that the Motion Paths GUI works. The key problems
this tries to address are:
1) Mode error - Confusion about whether we're dealing with the Object or Pose
level Motion Paths panel
2) Display settings vs Baking Settings
In line with the original design intentions for the 2.5/6 Properties Editor,
I've now split out the actual baking-related settings away from the Properties
Editor:
* Now, when clicking "Calculate Paths" from the toolbar, you'll be prompted with
a dialog to select the start/end frames (and for bones, whether to bake from
heads or tails). This is less confusing than relying on firstly setting the
range via the display range settings (and baking using that), since many people
apparently only used the "around current" mode, and were confused why things
weren't working
* Added a display of the frame ranges of the current baked Motion Path on the
active Object/Bone. This makes it clearer/easier to debug if the path suddenly
starts disappearing after a certain frame.
* Replaced Calculate/Clear Paths in the panels with a single "Update" button if
there's already a baked Motion Path.
Hopefully these changes (in combination with some of the other bugfixes) will
make it more obvious how everything works.
* Shadow color now usable in the BGE
* Simplified the shadow panel while "Blender Game" renderer is active
* Added variance shadow maps for the BGE
* Buffered shadows on sun lamps in the BGE (orthographic)
* Light textures in the BGE
* Added a new window submenu, which contains operators for duplicating the window, going fullscreen and toggling the system console on Windows.
* Removed the Toggle fullscreen button from the header, its available via menu or shortcut (ALT+F11).
Based on patch [#24709] Window menu added to Info menus by Elia Sarti (vekoon). Thanks!
- Displays dopesheet information for selected tracks, and currently does not
support any kind of editing.
- Changed regions to use the whole main region for such views as curves and dopesheet.
This allows to have own panels with tools/properties in this area.
- Active clip is getting synchronized between different clip editor editors in the
same screen, so updating of curve/dopesheet views happens automatically when one
changes current clip in one of this editors.
- Panels in toolbox and properties panels are now separated to rely on current view
mode, but some operators and poll functions still need to be updated.
- Added new screen called "Movie Tracking" where layout is configured to
display timeline, main clip window, curves and dopesheet.
Patch from Jaggz H, thanks!
[#31096] Weight-painting: Brush-specific weights
http://projects.blender.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=127&aid=31096&group_id=9
Each brush's weight can now be set individually, can also enable
unified setting (same as size and strength have.)
Added readfile code to the patch: subversion bumped to 1, brushes get
default weight of 0.5, unified weight enabled by default and value
from old vgroup_weight field.
- makes wireframe from faces.
- options similar to inset (even offset, relative scale)
- copies face settings and loops (uvs, vcolors)
- optionally replaces the existing geometry.

Remarks:
The original code was not designed to support moving obstacles so I had to introduce some velocity constraints into the code to prevent smoke from exploding. If this causes problems with "fire" emulation, please let me know.
Expose option into interface to use modal solver which currently
supports only tripod motion.
This solver requires two tracks at least to reconstruct motion.
Using more tracks aren't improving solution in general, just adds
instability into solution and slows down things a lot.
Refirement of camera intrinsics was disabled due to it's not only
refines camera intrinsics but also adjusts camera position which
isn't necessary here
To use this solver just activate "Tripod Motion" checkbox in
solver panel.

P.S. Quite experimental yet, requires more checking and probably
tweaks to prevent camera jumps when tracks apperars/disappears
from the screen.
* Remove RNA, Operator and UI for Texture and Sequence plugins.
Since 2.5x no effort has been done to bring that back, so there is simply no reason in keeping that code and the UI for that ;-)
* Low Level code still exists and is unchanged.
* Fix an alignment issue, column_flow layout apparently does not use the whole width, leaving a small gap on the right side. This should be fixed in the layout engine, but too close to release now.
