This patch solves some major problems of the svg script :
- reading of the inkscape svg format
- parsing of the scientific numbers
- redundant arc data in the same path for only one command "a"
- blending of curves after several files import and at the end a more correct management of the current point.
- Scripts Help Browser: error parsing doc info wrapped in triple single quotes, like done in the 3ds importer. Thanks Jean-Michel (jms) for informing me about it.
- visualizing data, rendering scenes automatically and character rendering on a server.
This example script shows how you can run blender in background mode, parse arguments from the command line to generate a simple scene and render/save it.
- Scripts Help Browser: Brendon Murphy requested and Kevin Morgan implemented a "run script" button.
- AC3D importer: option to store emis color from .ac file in mirror color in Blender (the exporter has the option to export mirror color as emis). Patch by Francesco Brisa.
Thanks for the contributions.
* Improved compatibility with VRML files
* Extract strings so they dont get modified for parsing, filename URL's with {} [] dont break importing anymore.
* Cameras were rotated incorrectly
* inline files were not opened with GZip
* Animation Support - currently only loc/scale/rot (scale untested)
* Lists of image URLs now use the first image from the list since there is no support for dynamic switching.
* use imagemagick to convert GIF's so they load in linux. (WIP - could be extended, At least it should not break anything)
BPyMathutils angle2ToLength function could be simplified (pointed out by brecht)
Modified to work in linux too, on my system subprocess.Popen(appstring) only works when appstring is a list.
Blenders __import__ didnt support keywords like pythons causing the subprocess module to fail for me.
added keywords to blenders c/api import to match pythons.
* fix two typos in RenderLayer API (renderosiy -> renderosity in two places. Will break .py's saved with render_save_layers.py, just fix passRadiosiy and passRadiosiyXOR)
* add some docs on RenderLayer API
* fix some copy/paste leftover in render_save_layers.py
Bug: [#17734] Loading a python script's help dosn't work
reported by Rian Tut (thanks).
Actual problem: scripts with spaces in their filenames were not supported by the code that registers scripts in menus and runs them. Added support w/o breaking eventual, rare scripts that parse the Bpymenus file. They will still need an update to support filenames with spaces, like done here for these scripts: Scripts Help Browser and Scripts Config Editor.
PS: tested on Linux. Please test on other platforms: just make sure scripts still appear in menus (the File->Export, for example), even after re-registering them (Scripts window -> Scripts Menu -> Update Menus) and that the Scripts Help Browser still works.
