After discussion with Campbell we found much nicer solution which
keeps operation with data much more clear:
- Refresh Sequencer is totally harmless, do not touch actual data
and just removes everything from cache
- Reload Strip will reload data and adjust it's length for all
selected strips without affecting on length of strip itself
- Reload Strip and Adjust length will do the same but will also
adjust length of strip itself.
* This patch adds a influence slider for the lattice modifier, which affects the strength of the deformation.
Patch by Patrick Boelens (senshi), thanks a lot!
This also makes it clearer that the faces are for tessellated results only.
Added a section on the Gotcha's about upgrading scripts, the pros and cons of MeshTessFace/MeshPoly/BMFace.
and spesifically how to upgrade importers and exporters for 2.63+.
from luke frisken (lfrisken), with some edits.
some tooltip colors weren't visible with different backgrounds, now the base tooltip color is used and tinted for python/alert/shortcuts etc. the tint colors are still hard coded.
This commit:
* Removes the Wire and Color options from the UI for all object types but meshes, curves/surfaces/texts, and metas.
* Adds a basic bounding box drawing (and computing) for armatures.
(also fixes special request from Ian for Mango)
Added operator to update actual content length of all selected strips.
Can be useful for scenes and movies as well after doing making changes to
scene/movie.
Can be improved further to deal better with cases when strip has got effect
and it's get reshuffled because of overlapping after changing it's length.
Graph Editor
Under User Preferences -> Editing, there's a new setting "F-Curve Visibility"
which controls the how much F-Curves blend in with the background colour.
Increasing this value makes F-Curves stand out more, at the expense of making it
less obvious which F-Curve is active.
this report exposed multiple bugs in blender when using a non utf8 compatible home directory.
- bpy.utils.script_paths() would crash when homedir wasn't utf8 (reported bug)
- PyC_DefaultNameSpace() - would raise an error when running when __file__ was non utf8.
- preset filepath property was not set to accept non utf8.
- bpy.paths.display_name would raise an error on non utf8 paths, (used for preset draw)
This adds movieclip input support to the sequencer, thereby making
undistorted and stabilized footage available without a seperate render step.
Also: removes some old cruft code from the sequencer:
* new_tstripdata wasn't used anymore
* StripElems were allocated for SCENE strips on full length, wasting memory
Added a comment, that hopefully makes things a little bit clearer:
StripElems are *only* usefull for MOVIE + IMAGE strips for all other strip
types one can set this pointer to NULL. (If that should cause otherwise
problems, then the code that doesn't check for NULL is to blame!)
- More angular velocity modes to support creative effects.
- Renamed "Initial Rotation" to "Initial Orientation" to better reflect the functionality
- Renamed "Spin" angular velocity mode to "Velocity".
- Organized the rotation panel a bit better.
- Also some better names and tooltips for the different rotation values.
- Even option (like solidify even option)
- Relative option (insets based on lengths of surrounding edges)
TODO: merge tares when 2+ face corners meet but don't form a contiguous region.
- The main problem was that in order to be accurate all particle
rotations have to be calculated incrementally so the only working
solution is to store rotations to the point cache (previously
this was only done for dynamic rotations). This can nearly double
the point cache size so it's not ideal to have this as a default
as in many cases you don't care about particle rotations.
- Particle rotation panel now has a new "enable" checkbox that
enables rotation calculations and the storing of rotations to
point cache.
- Old files will have rotations enabled via do_versions so that in
the worst case old files will only get bigger point caches, but no
sudden loss of particle rotations.
Most of the tool code was already in place, only significant
functionality change is that anchored stroke works now.
TODO:
* Gave it a new icon, but could use a better one
* Default .blend should have a clay strips brush
Adds conformation on exit for windows. Needs to be enabled in user perf.
Tried to edit blender.exe.manifest for more modern dialog look, but didn't work out.
this is no big improvement but at least its not a regression.
using the new operator for the bevel modifier can be enabled again be uncommenting a define.
sphinx_doc_gen.sh broke building docs -
- examples/ svn directory was being removed since it assumed an out-of-source build.
- include references somehow stopped working (didnt find why).
also fixed an unrelated error with building docs in object_utils.py
- Reset rotation value when toggling Align to View property
which correctly re-alignes object on continuous property
toggling and fixes issue
#30510: [2.62] Add Mesh - Torus - "Align to View" cannot be switched back when toggling off
- Moves all generic object-add properties into a helper function
which might be easily re-used.
World Context:
* Made world id block wider
* Don't show texture user when Cycles engine is used
Other:
* Change Dopesheet > DopeSheet in User Preferences Theme section for consistency.
* Hide Modifier and Contraint Panel header, this gives a bit space.
As it's the only panel in these context tabs it does not make sense to close them anyways.
*Add a new idname to keyingsets, keeping name as label-only (using same string for both made lookup fail when using i18n other than english, as it tried to compare an untranslated static string id against a translated RNA name). Also adding a description string (can be helpful with custom keyingsets, imho).
*Fixed a few other bugs related to that area (namely, you can’t deselect current keyingset from the shift-ctrl-alt-I popup menu, and insert/delete key ops were using a rather strange way to get chosen custom keyingset…).
*Fixed UI code so that it always uses (RNA) enum, and simplified menu-creation code.
It was indeed not clear at all what that label-less check box does.
Move it to next row (to prevent fluid type menu be too narrow) and
use label default for it.
Also don't create second column which is empty for outflow fluid type.
Made Set Floor a bit more general and name it Set Plane which defines
orientation from 3 selected tracks and makes them belong to specified
plane (wall or floor).
we cant ensure buildinfo to have utf8 encoding so access it as bytes via python - a different workaround then this patch made.
also use C style string formatting for sys_info.py
- spelling - turns out we had tessellation spelt wrong all over.
- use \directive for doxy (not @directive)
- remove BLI_sparsemap.h - was from bmesh merge IIRC but entire file commented and not used.
environment map, by enabling the Panorama option in the camera.
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Doc:2.6/Manual/Render/Cycles/Camera#Panorama
The focal length or sensor settings are not used, the UI can be tweaked still to
communicate this, also panorama should probably become a proper camera type like
perspective or ortho.
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'.
* made bmesh_structure.h function names more consistant.
* remove unused code in bmesh_structure.c
* removed 'Edge Flip' operator (missing from bmesh but looked into trunk feature and dont think its worth keeping).
* tagged some BMESH_TODO's
dont set the header text multiple times when many objects are selected, instead just print the difference thats applied.
when theres a single object selected, behavior us unchanged.
Added subdivisions shortcut for mesh editing mode to maya preset.
Not actually sure such shortcut present in Maya, but seems to be logical
to have it both object and edit modes.
Keypam for midpoint knife cutting was disabled for a while due to
midpoint toggle was moved to a model keymap and i'm not sure how to
start operator with midpoint enabled by default.
===========
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.

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)
- Hide Manipulate center points in sculpt and particle edit modes
- Hide 3D manipulators and orientation from sculpt mode
- Hide snap buttons in sculpt, weight, texture, vertex and particle painting modes
All this options weren't make sense in this modes and might only confuse user.
This will resolve issue #30180: 3D View header buttons and modes
For vertex/weight/texture paint, this has only the flags for using
unified size/strength. (Addresses TODO in code, before only sculpt
menu had these settings.)
For sculpt, moved the brush-related settings from the sculpt menu to
the brush menu.
Note that these menus are still very out of date (missing lots of
options), will address that in a different commit.
in existing addons this only effects OBJ import.
interestingly even though this is a bug (in that its returning a placeholder when it should load the image), since the placeholder points to the correct path, the image will load correctly when refreshed, so the bug's not too bad.
This is a kind of simplification/cleanup tool which joins adjacent faces and edges based on the angle.
I've written this as an exercise (since I havnt written a bmesh operator before), and because quite a few users were asking for the dissolve operator to be extended, but I think this kind of functionality needs its own operator.
access from specials menu and mesh menu.
notes
* this exposed a bug in angle_v3v3v3(). will merge fix into trunk after release.
* added utility function BM_vert_edge_angle(), to get the angle between 2 connecting edges of a vert.
Issues was caused by operator props "presets" which was reusing name of property
on every run of OBJECT_OT_game_property_new. This run into conflict with how text
property is determining -- it's stupid name comparsion which worked unexpectable
after adding and removing text property.
Solved by using empty (default) name for game_property_new when crating game property.
- Split display options into two panels:
* Display, which contains all general display options related on editor itself
* Marker Display, which contains options which makes sense for markers themselves
and not used so often.
- Remove Show GPencil option which doesn't actually make sense because strokes might
be disabled from GPencil panel
- Removed Show Pyramid option and show pyramid for KLT tracker as default.
- Added hotkey to toggle Show Disabled (Alt-D)
- Added hotkey to toggle Show Pattern (Alt-S)
Changes in interface and hotkeys are done by Sebastian Koenig.
Thanks for the patch!
Own changes in interface were related on Aspect Ratio. It doesn't make
much sense for tracking (camera pixel aspect is what you'll want to use,
but for masking it would make much more sense because when you just
want to create a mask for footage you don't actually have camera).
Just removing from interface seems not so nice for now.
Merged from soc-2011-tomato rev43872
Initial idea was to perform bilinear filtering for displaying proxied frame
to make it looking a bit smoother. It was done but it was also discovered
that using such kind of texture buffers helps on some crappy videocards
when playing $k footage.
Currently check for NPOT support is disabled, so use this option with care.

This was a request by Daniel Salazar. It adds a new frame offset variable to fluid sim settings, which can be used to display baked fluid sims at different times. Eventually this could be replaced by real NLA strips for cached data, but until then this is a simple way to have more flexible cache result usage.
Not strictly a BCon3 patch, but after IRC discussion with Genscher, ZanQdo and kaito decided to commit it anyway, since it's a small feature and makes fluid sim a bit more usable. Similar patch for point cache (particles, smoke, cloth) is being worked on as well.
Realize this is bcon3 but this is was very bad IMHO.
- button adjusting key block was in between 2 object settings - which is misleading/confusing.
- you needed to click through all shapes to check which was muted, currently you's assume 1.0 means the shape is enabled.
