Animating detailed clothes with softbody becomes messy, so now we'll
try it this way. :)
It simply uses the W (weight) value, as already available in each Lattice
Point. Only had to make it editable;
- NKey panel
- or press W in editmode
Further there's a minimalistic W button in the softbody Panel!
Hess.
In a comment on maillist I already mentioned a weird 0.5 in the code,
which I added to ensure correct rounding to integer frame numbers.
With a variable step size however, this won't work properly. You could
see it in the patch, because the ghost steps were animating.... they
should remain frozen, looks much nicer then. So I've added some fmod
voodoo here.
Vertex-parenting a forcefield to a softbody caused eternal loop :)
It is partially because of the timing system (=weak) but actually also
because derivedmesh calls could also not build meshes all the time!
The locality is restricted to action or user-transform only. Or as it goes
in the code now: by setting a constraint local, it executes the constraint
before it calculates the influence of Action or user transforms.
ALso note that this works in Evil Eulerians. Meaning that when you only
want to copy the X,Y or Z compenent of a euler, it can give unpredictable
results when the other euler values are set, this because euler axis
rotations work on top of each other.
Previously, using the "Stride Bone" tried to get that Bone motionless on
the path by correcting the internal time of the Action. This however caused
too many problems, especially with irregular walks.
The new system also tries to keep the Stride Bone motionless, but this by
moving the entire armature, and not changing the timing of the Action.
Give much nicer results. :)
To make editing Strides easier, I've added a new option in the NLA
panel to disable the path. This way you can quickly switch to editing the
action itself (keying the stride bone) and viewing the result.
- update for the old mathutils rewrite
- update for some other methods ive added
- added explaination of wrapped data
- added a .css file for epydoc gives nice blender/python colors :?
- Bone Ghost drawing now skips axes and names
- "Snap to cursor" now works for parent-less bones in PoseMode
- Prevented assigning in buttons of negative zero (was confusing)
- Copy Location Constraint didn't update Object when it was copying from a
Bone
- Deleting bone in editmode, and connecting bones crashed due to evaluation
of deformation code (only allowed for pose).
on top of each other. Was 100, which gave noise like this in this image;
http://www.blender.org/bf/hairnew.jpg
Made it 200, which solves it for a million hair polygons;
http://www.blender.org/bf/hairnew1.jpg
Also note that hair renders go much faster and better if you insert a real
solid head in it, that will prevent hairs on the back to be inserted in the
buffers. ANd don't make the head Ztransp!
I've been going over the zbuf.c code, which is indeed very ancient,
with a load of old optimizing and redundant code in use.
Added more 'modern' Span support, which fills per face two arrays
with the scanline information in it. That way you can zbuffer a quad in one
run as well. It was also exactly that code that's copied all over in zbuf.c
For now, to prevent issues for the release, the 'render a quad in 1 run' is
only in use for the strand render. Tests reveil a speedup of about 33%.
Will work on this recode later... which would also result in making zbuf.c
threadsafe.
And: bugfix #3398
When using the new 'render emitter' for particles, the orco array for
particles was accidentally used by mesh too.

- added width control for strands
- made tangent (anisotropic) render an option
(so you can render strands more solid, like metal/wood)
Also:
- ALT+A anim playback with static particles made cursor flashing
in case the paste buffer+length of text was bigger than MAXTEXT ->
fixed this, also a error is shown to the user now. editfont.c needs
still some cleaning but will discuss about this with kaito and intrr.
"Additive" Guides. See also:
http://www.blender3d.org/cms/New_Particle_options_a.721.0.html
This Guide type uses the falloff distance to also define how much the
particle (or hair strand) goes over the path, allowing to create local
extremes, or only local particle generating or hairgrowth. Nice for
spiky haircuts!
Note that the current default generates particles based on the original
amount of vertices and faces, this for vertex group support (which is not
subdivided with modifiers). That means that particles generated on
subsurfed faces still have minor approximation errors.
Note for DerivedMesh users; I've added a new API call:
float *mesh_get_mapped_verts_nors(Object *ob);
Which returns an array of 2 * 3 * float size, containing the vertices and
normals, deformed and subsurfered, but only the original me->mvert amount.
Works in all non-editmode cases.
Is in use now for vertex/weight paint and particles.
post build step for booleans --> copy boolop.lib to lib folder _foo_/lib/windows..
enabeling bullet for GE
wants to link with _foo_/lib/windows/bullet/lib/bullet3.lib
you have to build it with continuous.dsw in exten/bullet and copy it manually there
since bullet is exten i think no automagic in place here
- "Disp" option allows to go back to zero, effectively disabling the entire
particle generating.
- When parenting guides to an emitter the depgraph sees a cyclic relation,
which caused not updating the particles correct on loading it.
- Moved creating guide Cache completely outside of the particle loop,
should make it faster to use with large amounts of particles and objects.
When using the pulldown menus for exiting weightpaint, it did not free
octree tables for weightpaint, giving an error message on re-entering
weightpaint.
* add some protection against accessing MVerts/MEdges/MFaces which have
been deleted
* correct cut-and-paste bug in faces.delete() method
* correct some compiler warnings
underline stuff) as well.
Attempt at fixing editmode undo, but not successful. I'll create a bug-
report and assign it to Mika, because I only understand "train station"
(German saying :-) when looking at the code.
table stable... you keep correcting leg sizes until no table is left
anymore! :)
This commit restores the displacement direction from 2.37a code, which was
negated 5 months ago to fix a change in renderconverter.c, but somehow is
not needed anymore. The regression displacement file now renders OK again.
