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.
Merged from tomato: svn merge ^/branches/soc-2011-tomato -r45622:45624 -r46036:46037
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.
Note: Supporting obstacles which can be enabled/disabled as animated propoerty is not likely to happen. So I marked this as "Won't fix"/TODO.
I also reverted last commit on this bug because it didn't work and disabled the property from UI to avoid confusion.
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.
Disable operator register and redo flags because it might modify non-mesh
data when in edit mode. This doesn't work properly with current undo stack
design.
* Replaced the hard coded viscosity presets with Python ones.
* Added version check, so older files load fine.
Loading new files into 2.62 also works fine.
