* New topology panel in 3D view toolbar with the enable/disable button
for dynamic topology and other controls
* Ctrl+DKEY to toggle dynamic topology
* Shift+DKEY to show a radial control for detail size
It introduces a new (py-extendable and registrable) RNA type, UIList (roughly similar to Panel one), which currently contains only "standard" list's scroll pos and size (but may be expended to include e.g. some filtering data, etc.). This now makes lists completely independent from Panels!
This UIList has a draw_item callback which allows to customize items' drawing from python, that all addons can now use. Incidentally, this also greatly simplifies the C code of this widget, as we do not code any "special case" here anymore!
To make all this work, other changes were also necessary:
* Now all buttons (uiBut struct) have a 'custom_data' void pointer, used currently to store the uiList struct associated with a given uiLayoutListBox.
* DynamicPaintSurface now exposes a new bool, use_color_preview (readonly), saying whether that surface has some 3D view preview data or not.
* UILayout class has now four new (static) functions, to get the actual icon of any RNA object (important e.g. with materials or textures), and to get an enum item's UI name, description and icon.
* UILayout's label() func now takes an optional 'icon_value' integer parameter, which if not zero will override the 'icon' one (mandatory to use "custom" icons as generated for material/texture/... previews).
Note: not sure whether we should add that one to all UILayout's prop funcs?
Note: will update addons using template list asap.
- blends from current weight into alpha zero.
- uses brush alpha & curve.
- respects weight paint vertex/face select modes.
- updates realtime.
Access With
- Alt+LMB (linear gradient)
- Ctrl+Alt+LMB (radial gradient)
note:
- WM_gesture_straightline_* are used but not well suited to this task, may end up replacing with own modal operator.
- Key handling works but needs to be done better.
Added option to display object's diffuse color multiplied by sculpting
mask. This option could be found in Options panel of toolshelf when in
sculpting mode.
Thanks to Nicholas and Brecht for reviewing the patch!

Usage: In weight paint mode, select the mesh to have its weights culled. Click on "Limit Weights" button. A sub-panel will appear "Limit Number of Vertex Weights" with a slider field "Limit" which you can set to the appropriate level. The default level is 4, and it gets executed upon pressing "Limit Weights" so you will need to do an "undo" if your max bone limit is above 4. The checkbox "All Deform Weights" will consider all vertex weights, not just bone deform weights.
- sample weight didnt work when the object was transformed.
- sample weight didnt work when vertex selection was enabled.
- 'All faces' option is used by weight paint mode, but there was no UI access.
add ED_mesh_pick_face_vert(). which uses the face selection buffer but returns the closest vertex.
* Code cleanup, removed unneeded code.
* Style cleanup, don't break lines to early
(unless marked as pep8-80 or pep8-120 compliant)
* Keep 1 line after layout declaration empty.
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
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.
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.

[#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.
from user freedback it seems there are 2 use cases, both valid.
* Select geometry and cut the selection in half (as 2.4x worked)
* Point-to-point define the faces to cut, dont cut through everything (only cut what you see).
With the second, since you are already selecting the edges to cut and snapping to them. only cutting the selecting is limiting/annoying.
Modifying these options while the knife tool runs doesn't work well, so expose under 2 keys, K, Shift-K.
also made some other improvements
- make it work in weight paint vert sel mode (some unused code for this was in the function).
- add factor slider.
- add to weight paint toolbar.
The stencil- and clone-layer menus were printing errors when the mesh
had no UV layers due to directly accessing layer names. Fixed by
setting menu text to empty if no UV layers exist.
Also changed the checkbox label for cloning from another UV layer to
read 'Clone' rather than 'Layer'.
- added back 2.4x 'Vgroup' option to the UI, restricts painting to verts already in the group.
- remove 'All Faces' button in weight paint mode. it doesn't do anything.
Things like brush size and strength accessors now take a scene
parameter rather than guessing about which Scene's unified paint
settings to use.
Setting the size/strength through RNA can now be done separately for
the brush or the UnifiedPaintSettings.
The UI python code required updating to check whether the
size/strength controls should use brush or UnifiedPaintSettings RNA.
Radial control also required some updates to switch between the two
RNA sources.
Added RNA for the unified paint setting flags that matches the Brush
RNA. Fixed the getter/setter functions to avoid guessing which Scene's
UnifiedPaintSetting to use. The getter functions take a Scene pointer
now, the setter functions are removed in favor of a more explicit
approach through RNA:
Rather than RNA choosing whether a property's value is in the Brush or
in the UnifiedPaintSettings, there are now explicit properties for
both. The UI code has been modified accordingly to switch the toggle
buttons between affecting the Brush and the UnifiedPaintSettings.
