* Increasing subframe count increases stability for SPH fluid and Newtonian particles
* Also small tweaks into physics ui panel to better fit new subframes value
* This commit also fixes the moving fluid emitter problem as described by Raul in the mailinglist
the patch exposes a rna property to get the active edit mode face. This is a hack.
However it's a small patch (a.k.a. easy to revert later if needed).
The official plan is to wait for BMesh before tackling it properly. Nevertheless TexFace panel is really important for BGE.
Missing: operators to copy the current parameters to other selected faces.
* note: what I changed from the original patch is the UI script. The pool wasn't defined and it was using tabs.
Made custom proxy files a lot more sensible to select
(upgraded to filepath get/setters)
Changed semantics, since custom files don't make much
sense without custom directories...
Proxy render size settings is now back. (Maybe still in need of some sensible
icons, though...)
Also: waveform color seperation works in N-keys dialog again.
Supports default OSX codecs : Linear PCM, Apple Lossless and AAC
Note that AAC codec doesn't support sample rates above 48kHz. If a python/rna guru knows how to easily enforce this limit, he is welcome!
Enjoy making Quicktime movies now with audio!
* The new default particle size is quite small, so exploded pieces didn't match the original pieces
* There's now an option to use the particle size (useful for some effects), but it isn't used by default
* This commit will change how some old files look (explode modifier and not 1.0 particle size), but the exact old behavior is achieved with the new "size" option
Removed extra brush features that aren't applicable in some painting modes from the UI.
Would be great to have this properly cleaned up and made consistent.
Also tweak to startup blend, hiding brush tools panel.

This adds the waveform monitor and vectorscope to the image editor 'scopes'
region, bringing it inline (plus a bit more) with sequence editor functionality,
and a big step closer to the end goal of unifying the display code for image/
comp/sequence editor. It's non-intrusive, using the same code paths as
the histogram.
There's still room for more tweaks - I modified the original patch, changing
the openGL immediate mode drawing of the waveform display to vertex arrays for
speed optimisation. Xavier can look at doing this for the vectorscope now too.
Thanks very much Xavier!
Didn't crash for me, but did export incorrectly since editmode changes weren't flushed.
Fixed this by setting all exporters to go back to object mode before exporting.
Also cleaned up some naming in exporter creator strings, it's "Blender" not "Blender3D".
Early when implementing the Graph Editor in 2.5, a key complaint that was levelled at the old 'IPO Editor' was that it was a constant annoyance that adjacent handles were getting selected in addition to the keyframes, when only the keyframes were intended. I solved this by making this default to only selecting keyframes and ignoring the handles, but this means that it isn't possible to batch move several handles at once.
I've now improved this situation by adding an option to the border select operator (involved using Ctrl-B instead of B) which makes the handles get treated separately (as if they were separate verts, as in 2.4x). The default is still to only select keyframes, to have consistency with the DopeSheet...
Also performed some more renaming work in the code...
R 27991 broke all script-based Keying Set support, including all the Built-In Keying Sets. This meant that it nearly impossible to still keyframe anything (there are other less convenient ways, but none work quite as well).
Also I noticed there's a check on strip.type == 'EFFECT', which can never be true because strip.type actually contains the type of effect, e.g. "GLOW", "ADD" etc. Not a big problem currently because it's not used.
This patch add SPH (Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics)fluid dynamics to the
blender particle system. SPH is an boundless Lagrangian interpolation
technique to solve the fluid motion equations.
From liquids to sand, goo and gases could be simulated using the particle
system.
It features internal viscosity, a double density relaxation that accounts
for surface tension effects, static internal springs for plastic fluids,
and buoyancy for gases.
---------------------------------------
This is a commit of the core fluid physics. Raul will work on proper
documentation soon and more features such as surface extraction from
the particle point cloud and increasing stability by sub-frame calculations
later.
experiment and turn out to work poorly because it does not preserve
rotations, so I've just removed the option now. Alternative is to use
a solidify modifier on the cage mesh, which will usually give better
results.
This commit fixes reports #21638 and #21818, which were both also Durian feature requests.
Cbanges:
* Added new default setting for the type of handles created when creating keyframes. This can be found in the user-preferences, and is used whenever existing keyframes aren't being overwritten (instead of the value being always taken from the keyframes either side, #21638).
* When keyframing over existing keyframes, only the values will be changed. The handles will be offset by the same amount that the value of the keyframe changed, though how well this works in practice still needs to be tested more thoroughly (#21818, already fixed earlier, but this commit is the full fix).
* When 'free' handles are added by default, they are offset to be +/- 1 frame on either side of the keyframe so that it is obvious that they can be moved. However, they just take the same value of the keyframe since this is easiest.
* Properly initialising handle colour defaults for 3D-View and Graph Editor. Graph Editor's theme userprefs also show these settings now, though the layout is really quick hack-style.
* Fixed all the dangerous code added in 27907. Using the code there, scripters could corrupt animation files in ways which would render them useless, with channels not appearing in any animation editors, and others not getting evaluated at all.
* Partial fix of bug 21818, by disabling destructive replacement of keyframes. Will followup this commit with a more comprehensive commit which gets rid of the rest of the problems, by incorporating some requests from Durian team.
* Fixed problems with users being able to see+edit the name of the active Keying Set in the Scene buttons. There is still a bug though with the list widget given how the indices are now interpreted...
Emulate 3 button mouse is now disabled when Left mouse select is used, to
prevent keymap conflicts. Configs for single button macs etc we can do with
keymap presets.
* Some cases of struct name being set where it shouldnt have been.
* Spelling: wich --> which
* Copy and initialize uv modifier scale, remove unneeded enum.
* Ability to pin any object into the context.
* Update uv window while transforming (useful when used with UVProject modifier)
* Patch by Wahooney, so new template's are internal text and dont get saved over
by mistake.
* Fix for https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=572186

* Add back image pin option in image editor header.
* Fix deep shadow not respecting Cast Buffer Shadows option.
* Tangent space normal map baking should work again now.
* Fix a problem with particle duplis, due to own bugfix for #20350,
the problem for that seems to be in dupliverts, not particles.
* Fix external multires data link getting lost on exiting editmode.

to specify different spring lengths.
Implementation is quite ugly because the shape key has to be pulled
through the modifier stack somehow, need a more flexible data mask
system to solve this properly.

Theme colours were getting overwritten on startup with defaults (as in 2.4
system). Changed this to allow changing the default theme, and added a
'Reset to defaults' operator in user prefs. Perhaps next step to look into the
py presets system for themes too (nice and easy to share).
If you're using a custom B.blend you may get some strange theme colours on
startup if they weren't saved properly before. 'Reset to default' button in theme
preferences should fix it back to defaults.
Stopped curves 'caps' properties from being greyed out when the curve is 3D -
there's the totally obscure feature where turning off 'Front' and 'Back' turns the
3D curve into a tube.
Would really like this feature to be implemented in a less bizarre way, but
for now it should be enabled in the UI at least.
For some reason, __import__ doesn't recognize the cfg folder as part of the part.
Using exec("import " ... fixes that, but should be investigated further.
This commit removes the Old Track method (used to be found under Object -> Animation -> Track), with all existing instances of this being converted to Track To Constraints. In fact, while performing this removal, I found that this was supposed to have happened in version 2.27 already, but for some reason the options were left in, and this function managed to survive for a further decade.
I've left the tracking axes around still, since it seems some curve tools still use that. However, that usage should probably get faded out in future too?
Misc notes:
* Fixed compiling error with constaints from harkyman's Maintain Volume patch.
* Subversion of 2.52 now bumped up to .2
This commit restores fluid sim baking functionality in 2.5, it's been on the todo for
a while, and was previously almost completely non-functional. The old
code was quite complicated and specific to the 2.4 animation system, so I've
pretty much rewritten most of it.
This includes:
* Animated variables work again - just key them in the UI. Non-animateable values
should be already set non-animateable in RNA, hopefully I got them all.
Available are: Domain Gravity / Domain Viscosity / Object loc/rot/scale /
Object initial velocity / Deforming meshes / Fluid control Attract strength /
Fluid control Attract radius / Fluid control Velocity strength /
Fluid control Velocity radius / Object Active status (checkbox next to fluid type)
The Domain time scale is still not yet implemented.
* Fluid sim now use global scene units data by default - when enabled, the
scene's global gravity value is used and when units are set (metric/imperial)
the simulation real world size is taken from the object's actual measurements.
* The baking process is now done in the background, using the nifty threaded
Jobs system. It's non-blocking and your domain object will show the simulated
fluid as it becomes available for that frame.
A nice extra thing for the future would be to improve the visualisation of the
object's state while baking, and also the jobs system/ui could do with some
touchups - currently it has to share a bit from the 'render' job, and appears as
'Render' in the header. Progress bars for jobs in the header would be great too.
