1) Fixed some weird formatting introduced during math-lib cleanups, and some other inconsistencies
2) Optimised the Maintain Volume constraint by taking the value calculations out
Copy All Constraints Operators:
* Added one for bones too
* These are now included in the menus
* Removed some weird/extra code copying/changing/bleh the actcol/totcol stuff...
This constraint allows an object or bone to have their rotations applied as if their origin/pivot-point was located elsewhere. The most obvious uses include foot-roll, see-saws, but could also include more complicated rolling-box examples.
== Usage Examples ==
=== Foot Roll ===
1. Add 'Pivot' Constraint to the bone without any target.
2. Set the 'Y' value of the offset to the length of the bone. Usually this should be negative (if you rig with feet facing 'forwards' along -Y axis). This gives you a pivot point relative to the bone's (preconstraint) location, which should be at the tip of the bone here. Disabling the 'Use Relative Offset' would make this offset be relative to 0,0,0 instead of to the owner/bone-head.
3. Ensure that the 'Pivot When' setting is set to '-X Rot', (default) which means that the pivot will only used when the rotation on the X-Axis is negative to get tip-toe 'roll'.
=== See Saw ===
1. Add a 'Pivot' constraint too see-saw plank object, this time with a target that you wish to have as the pivot-point. It's possible to do this without too (as before), but is less intuitive.
2. Optionally, if you want the plank slightly raised, set the z-offset value, which should make the pivot-point used to be relative to the target with the z-offset applied.
3. Ensure that 'Pivot When' is set to 'Always', which means that the pivot will always be used, irrespective of the rotation.
== Notes ==
* The 'Pivot When' setting has been integrated in the constraint, since this is something that will often be required for these setups. Having to set up additional drivers to drive the constraint to do this kindof beats the purpose of providing this.
* The 'Offset' functionality is probably not presented as clearly as it could be. We may need to go over this again.
* For foot-roll - if any scaling of the foot is required, simply set up a driver on the y-offset to make this dynamically respond to the "scale" RNA property of the bones (don't use the "Transform Channel" vartype since that won't work correct here). However, this shouldn't be common enough to warrant special treatment.
Now, rather than the bit-too-alarming stop sign, threaded wmJobs
display a progress indicator in the header. This is an optional feature
for each job type and still uses the same hardcoded ui template
(could use further work here...).
Currently implemented for:
Render - parts completed, then nodes comped
Compositor - nodes comped
Fluid Sim - frames simulated
Texture Bake - faces baked
Example: http://mke3.net/blender/devel/2.5/progress.mov
Using custom setfuncs to avoid increase/decrease of usercount.
That way nothing stops you from removing a material that is used by a
sensor, or a mesh, an action ... (this is how 2.49 works too)
* also some general code cleaning/fix (adding static casts, replacing libaddr_us by lib_addr for dome text (I had no idea how user count worked back then)
this is also done in the 2 others places in the code which get the parent.
In our case the crash was caused by a group not containing the parent object.
- own mistake in scene help text.
- rename properties to have users as the prefix for better ordering.
- use fixed height for stamp, gives better aligned text.
* Disable openmp for dot product, this gives different results each
time due to non-commutative floating point add.
* Disable openmp with few vertices, the extra thread overhead only
slows things down then.
* Replace the hack that would divide stepsPerFrame and then set it
back, now it simply uses the timescale in the collision function.
This was incorrect because stepsPerFrame is an int, but we don't
want this to be rounded.
* Extra out of bounds check for hair velocity smoothing grid.
This fix the problem of not being able to play animations created with Blender 2.5 in BGE. Patch reviewed by Benoit
Added also other parent to modifier conversions as requested by Joshua (aligorith). I didn't bump subversion here, but the patch should work still. If not I'm increasing subversion sooner anyways (tomorrow or by the middle of the week I hope).
I was waiting to commit this one together with the Logic Editor datablock patch (converting material_name DNA properties to struct Material *). However my patch is getting too big and it's better if it's alone (easier to analyze later, eventual fixes, ...)
Mitchell, this commit adds a function that can help hardware skinning - HasArmatureDeformer()
- uses same thumbnail system as image browser
- blend files show thumbnails in ubuntu/gnome (freedesktop spec)
- 128x128 images are embedded into the blend file header, a simple loader avoids reading the entire blend file to extract it when generating thumbnails in the file selector.
When the image browser reads a directory it loads images and creates thumbnails, blend files embedded images are treated just like loading an image.
- the thumbnail is created from the camera view in solid mode. (no camera == no thumbnal).
- readfile/writefile.c: had to use the 'TEST' code name to save thumbnails, anything else would segfault older blender versions on load. (its not used elsewhere).
Adding documentation strings in argument data.
--help is auto generated (options not manually categorized end up in the "others" section at the bottom)
- fix implicit decloration of DAG_scene_sort()
- same fix for tiff as made in renderbranch
- rename 'combined peak' --> 'peak' for shorter messages while rendering.
* Keyboard Sensor entry keys (key, modifier 1 and 2) can actually be any key
- (you can use Shift as main key, and D as modifier if you want). It's
- strange in my opinion, but it's 2.49 way of doing it.
* Copy Game Property (operator found in SPACE menu)
- reorganized it so the properties appear as submenu items.
- a "little lot" of work for such a small eye-candie but well I hope more
- people like it as well :)
Matt, I had to recreate the dynamic_enum to make it work. I'm count on you
for a real fix for this ;)
- Set env['CC'] and env['CXX'] as default values for
CC and CXX variables. This fixes problem with overwriting
auto-guessed compilators when reading config files
- Added new prefix for mingw tools
- swapped meanting of -y/-Y to enable/disable automatic python execution (matches window border -w/-W).
- removed '-B', no reason to have this.
- renamed -fpe to --debug-fpe and added to --help
When enabled the context's 3D view will be used for rendering.
When disabled a camera view with solid draw mode will be used.
(Needed for batch rendering out animation previews without having to worry about an existing 3D view, its local layer locking and draw type)
