implemented the support for animated colors and a workaround for non animated colors. To be cleaned if/when this bug is fixed:
[#25487] BGE: Object Color only works when it has a keyed frame
* also increased the size of the text. Now it supports 280 (or 140 unicode) chars.
New option to start threaded wmJobs, with flag WM_JOB_SUSPEND.
This makes the job wait 1 timer step before running.
Used now for Material Icon render renders, which makes the
big preview to be always rendered first while using UI.
- File Window: when opened with operator (save, load, etc), you
couldn't start a new one, causing memleaks. Now it nicely
refreshes file window for new operator.
Also means you can make CTRL+F3 screenies of filewindow now.
- CTRL+F3 screenshot had memleak on cancel.
Due to popular request and usability considerations, this commit
reintroduces functionality similar to 2.4's "Draw Mode" for Grease
Pencil.
In the toolbar under the Draw/Line/Eraser buttons, you can find the
"Use Sketching Sessions" toggle, which enables this feature. This is a
per-scene setting, and defaults to off, so that the current 2.5
behaviour is still the default (i.e. the Grease Pencil operator will
only do a single stroke at a time).
With this option enabled, drawing with Grease Pencil will enter a
semi-modal state where you can draw multiple strokes without needing
to keep holding the DKEY throughout (though you'll still need to do so
to start the strokes, unless you use some toolbar buttons), while
still being able to manipulate the viewport. Header help-text prints
show the appropriate keybindings (i.e. press ESCKEY or ENTER to end
the sketching session).
Notes:
- To aid maintainability of the 3D-View toolbar code, I've taken the
liberty to factor out the groups of widgets which commonly occur in
most of the toolbars into separate functions (namely "Repeat" and
"Grease Pencil"). Perhaps it might make it slightly harder to newbies
to the toolbar code to grasp, though the physics panels are far worse
;)
- I've reshuffled some code in the Grease Pencil code to separate out
the various states of operation again more clearly, though some more
work is still needed there (TODO)
- There can now be only one Grease Pencil operator running at a time
- Redoing Grease Pencil operations where sketching sessions was
enabled still needs work. Namely, a way of delimiting the set of
points recorded into strokes is still needed (TODO)
- Ultimately, it should be possible to switch tools midway through a
session. Currently sessions are limited to only being able to be used
with a single drawing mode (TODO)
- After ending a drawing session, the titlebar contols may not work on
Windows without manually making the main window lose focus and then
regain (i.e. click on some other window in toolbar, then come back).
This may be related to (bug #25480)
2D view scrollers were drawing over background contents, making it
look somewhat messy (like for text, nodes, fcurves). Now it clears
first the back in the region edge.
Drag/drop now has a User preset for dragging threshold.
Noticed this was set to 3 pixels even, made it 5 as default.
Tablet owners can put it larger too :)
Note: the tweak-threshold (3d win) is 10 pixels now, I think
this needs another preset too, leave this for now.
Also: fixed crash in filewindow: drag .blend icon and drop it.
You can't test anything in Blender or you get a bug :)
- On each re-render, the node image was cleared. Skipping this gives
nicer pictures
- Node render was using AA, but unfortunately only 1 sample for Nodes
is being stored. Disable AA render for now, nice speedup too.
- New Node editor now opens with larger view, the default
was like zoomed in factor 2.
- Add node via menu now shows new node more visible
- Click on (material) node now doesn't re-render the entire
tree anymore, much nicer.
- Duplicate node creates preview image immediate
After loading file, the Undo-push happened too early, causing an
undo for the first action to show animated setups wrong.
(material.c: removed old crap)
This commit partially fixes the problems with Shapekeys from older
files, as seen from the Regression suite (relative.blend and
dolphin.blend in particular).
In older files, keyblock->slidermax was never truly set to 1.0 even
though the UI may have shown such a value (which was bizzarely being
sourced from somewhere else). Hence, after loading the files in 2.5,
the shapekeys wouldn't animate, as the value would get clamped between
0 and 0.
To fix this, I've added a version patch which corrects these
situations in old files, and I've adjusted the slider-RNA code so that
it is not possible to set up such clamping anymore.
TODO:
The fixes detailed here only make it possible for these files to work
again in 2.5. However, I haven't been able to find a way to get the
files to actually work in 2.5 without manually changing the active
shapekey (per object) after loading the files with these patches
applied. Possibly it's just some depsgraph magic needed, unless
there's still some other evil voodoo in the shapekey code
move Object.update(...) to ID.update(). since depsgraph update function can now be called on ID types.
also changed how update flags work.
obj.update(scene, 1, 1, 1)
... is now
obj.update({'OBJECT', 'DATA', 'TIME'})
Don't pass scene anymore. This was used for recalculating text but I think this is better dont in a different function.
Also added bpy.path.display_name_from_filepath(), since filepaths are not ensured to be utf8.
same as calling: os.path.splitext(os.path.basename(name))[0].encode("utf8", "replace").decode("utf8")
