was required (compositor can also be used with only image input) told
the pipeline not to render when no composite nodes were available at all,
and with button 'Use Nodes' on.
work for Composite nodes using a scene... when you delete such a node the
scene could get zero users then.
Now scenes count users correctly, and are initialized to 1 on the correct
place.
Fixing compile for Windows mingw builds with cygwin make and scons.
Used SHGetFolderPath instead of SHGetSpecialFolderPath which is
better supported for mingw.
Thanks to Ralf Hoelzemer for the tip and the patch.
Let me know if any problems persist, I'll try to fix then.

- added a zoom factor for Planar Environment Map, allowing to zoom in or
out on the reflected object. The zoom is corrected when rendering, so it
just gives control over the resolution.
- Planar maps don't cycle anymore, but only render the front plane, using
standard image texture extend mode.
- threaded rendering is back in envmap render
patch #2554: My Documents and Desktop folder automaticly added to the Folders
pulldown of the filesector
Only affects Windows builds.
Uses shell functions to correctly get the My Documents and Desktop folders and
then add them to the fsmenu, right below the drive letters.
Needs shell32.lib linked, which is already linked by default for VS7 project files.
Platform maintainer please check if it has to be added to scons and MSVC6 project files.
Patch provided by Martin Poirier (theeth) - many thanks!
eg
Blender -b c:\blends\test.blend -o "c:\renders\render_#.png" -x 0 -F PNG
-x 1/0 for extension enable/disable
-F for format/filetype
This is important because somebody elses Blend files can render anywhere on your PC, possibly a security risk.
And nice for renderfarms to be able to set the path without running a python script inside the blend file.
blender --help (render opts only)
Render options:
-b <file> Render <file> in background
-S <name> Set scene <name>
-f <frame> Render frame <frame> and save it
-s <frame> Set start to frame <frame> (use with -a)
-e <frame> Set end to frame (use with -a)<frame>
-o <path> Set the render path and file name.
Use // at the start of the path to
render relative to the blend file.
Use # in the filename to be replaced with the frame number
eg: blender -b foobar.blend -o //render_# -F PNG -x 1
-F <format> Set the render format, Valid options are..
TGA IRIS HAMX FTYPE JPEG MOVIE IRIZ RAWTGA
AVIRAW AVIJPEG PNG AVICODEC QUICKTIME BMP
HDR TIFF EXR MPEG FRAMESERVER CINEON DPX
Use // at the start of the path to
-x <bool> Set option to add the file extension to the end of the file.
Added details to the -v option
Eg
blender -v
Blender 2.41 Build
build date: 2006-03-20
build time: 16:16:34
build platform: linux-glibc2.3.6-i386
build type: dynamic
Also fixed bugs where nagative/realy big frames could be set- causing Blender to crash.
allowing to use it for planar mirrors. Enable it with the new "Plane"
option in the Environment Map Panel.
Current default is to render the cube side that points to the positive
Z axis direction. To make it work, it uses the same image for all
other cube sides, so it will 'wrap around'.
Also made maximum resolution for environment map to be 4096x4096 now.
Fixed BLI_exist: In Windows stat doesn't recognize
a dirname ending is a slash, exept when it's
the root dir ("C:\\"), where it is required.
So trailing slashes are only removed when filename
is longer than 3 chars.
Also fixed Python Sys.c that now uses BLI_exist
instead of calling stat directly.
grp.objects
To have an iterator assigned as well as a list. Since gp.objects is an ietartor this is expected.
grp.objects= someGroup.objects works now.
Some other small fixes made.
Made a wrapper for add_to_group() That handles the OB_FROMGROUP flag. Should be moved to group.c's add_to_group()
void add_to_group_wraper(Group *group, Object *ob) {
Base *base;
add_to_group(group, ob);
if (!(ob->flag & OB_FROMGROUP)) { /* do this to avoid a listbase lookup */
ob->flag |= OB_FROMGROUP;
base= object_in_scene(ob, G.scene);
if (base)
base->flag |= OB_FROMGROUP;
}
}
This is very confusing.
Since in object has
ob.setDupliGroup() # Enable/Disable Dupligroup
ob.getDupliGroup() # see if its enabled.
ob.dupliGroup # the group data this object is instancing.
Not yet added
ob.groups # Groups that use this object.
Update image loader, optional arg for not autocreating the image. - aslo removed some stuff that shouldent have been left in.
Workaround for a bug in Blender.sys.exists()... should fix soon.
* Applied patch #4012 by Joseph Eagar. The patch provides a way to quickly assign a list
of libraries to build with debug symbols. Usage:
scons BF_QUICKDEBUG=src,bf_blenkernel,bf_blenlib
couple of bugs in the new float support in sequencer;
- when effects have float buffer input, the effect strip itself only got
byte buffers assigned, which bypassed the float versions of effects
- the float version of cross effect used ints to fade... should be float
- tests if an effect should be recalculated didn't check for float yet
- display of float buffer in sequencer preview showed black when no
byte rect was in imbuf
Peter; we need this urgent, so I commit now.. check if this is according
to how you thought floatbuffers to work? thanks!
render option "save result to disk" and ESC from rendering, it crashed...
Note; reading partially saved exr files still crash... but that's an issue
within the openexr lib. I've mailed the openexr dev list for assistance
how to properly close a partial saved tile-file.
now the button works as meant to be.
Still working on the feature though... I noticed exr files dont read
back when only part was saved (on user break). Working...
New option "Save Buffers", in first Output panel of renderbuttons, will not
allocate all render buffers, but instead save the rendered tiles to exr.
For each scene rendered, a single exr file then is created.
After rendering, the files get read, and only then the memory allocation is
done.
The exr files are saved in the temp dir (from user settings), and have
names derived from the filename+scene name. That way these buffers remain
relatively unique, and can be re-used later too.
Saving all render-layers and passes in a single file (as F3 command) will
be done later. Also reading back the current muli-layer exr files is not
supported yet (will read black). The purpose is that these files then can
be used as input for the Compositor.
One fun thing I added; after rendering once with this option, close
Blender, and restart it. If you have a Composite set up press 'R' on an
active RenderResult node. This will refresh the node(s) and load the exr,
so you can composite again without a re-render.
for faces can give inaccuracies resulting in UV values in the hundreds
range. The UV values now are being clipped.
This should fix weird 'shooting lines' for vectorblur on hair renders.
Schlaile; do you have a weird texteditor setting or so? It breaks up
function calls in a very strange way, with each argument of a call
on a new line. That's not code that way, that's movie credits! :)
