locations are: smart, middle, v1, and v2
where smart is an attempt to generate a loc that will collapse without loosing volume.
This can now collapse a subdivided cube properly.
Added better docscrings
Added a texture baker for procedural textures,
Its able to make a WYSIWYG image from the texture, by using the texmesh property, so texture coords arnt lost up when flattening the mesh.
Use a high res image not to see any seams
Some optimizations and Ctrl will escape the script properly if you want to skip merging the islands.
Thanks to Melchior FRANZ for the report and debug blend
- bake wire
- bake image
- bake vcol
- bake normals
Fitting all the options for these into 1 PupBlock was not good.
An example of 4 different baking made from these scripts
http://members.iinet.net.au/~cpbarton/temp.png
Added options to use material colors (can be multiplied with vcol)
Added wire option for UV Export type functionality. (implys no bleeding)
Added Option to render with no oversampling
changed alpha blending
usefull for baking radiosity back into an image (with non overlapping UV's) and also has an option for including the texface image, and using normals (instead of colors)
Added BPyRender with a utility function to render off an ortho image from a number of objects.
[ #4581 ] related to scripts window updates, details here:
http://projects.blender.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=4581&group_id=9&atid=125
Scripts updated:
-Jean-Michel Soler updated some of his scripts: paths importer (ai,
eps, gimp, svg), kml / kmz importer and also updated Axiscopy.py by A
Vanpoucke (xand) and the knife script (this version handles multiple
materials) by Stefano Selleri and Wim Van Hoydonck. Thanks!
fixed some other UI logic in the python menu script
Added an option to use a vertex group for a reduction weight map to force reducing some areas more then others.
Mesh epydocs activeGroups can be None as well as string.
When through and replaced the obvious ones but there are still a a few Id rather not touch without more about whats going on.
Did quite a few changes to export-iv also.
Export mesh data with modifiers and objects matrix applied. export not only mesh data but text, nurbs etc (thanks to BPYMesh getMeshFromObject)
Small updates to ply import, dont set the TEX of a face (no pink faces anymore)
made ngon loop-reduce function faster by replacing dicts with sets
off_export has some errors, modernized the script.
added a python 2.3 reversed compat function - just uses ls[::-1]
Further 2.3 compat testing needed.
LWO cheats by having multiply poly lines in 1, by doubling back on the line. BPyMeshes NGON function splits this into multiple NGons so PolyFill can fill properly.
Tested with 1711 LWO files - (2 had unreadable faces) 77meg and 103 OBJ files- all worked.
Further changes need to be added but theres a bug in Blender that prevents the NGon function from working.

Lightwave major update by Alessandro Pirovano (uaraus) intergrated with my changes.
Tested with ~ 500 models to import without throwing an error.
Added subsurf back, image loading fixes and removed meshtools dependancy
- Jean-Michel Soler updated the svg to obj module used by Paths
Importer (thanks!)
- user request: added option to control whether user prefers per face
(uv face select "TwoSided" toggle) or per mesh ("Double Sided") single /
double face info in ac3d exporter.
BPY:
- Blender_ShowHelp() was now crashing Blender when called for the
second time, due to EXPP_dict_set_item_str decrementing the reference
count of an object passed as argument to Blender_ShowHelp() (so not
owned by that function).
Added remove doubles as a keyword option,
Fixed Triangulate (need to select the faces first)
Fixed boundry weighting (defaults reduced boundries first more then
non boundry verts!)
Made face area weighting give better results.
Workaround for a problem where badly predicted positions are further then half the edge length, on these cases just collapse to the weighted middle of teh edge.
Added docs for "PolyReduce" (Uses BPyMesh_Redux) and WIP Docs for AutoTex Layout.
http://mediawiki.blender.org/index.php/Manual/PartXIII/Modelling_Scripts
~20% faster and memory saved by re-using the face and edge lists and their classes each pass rather then __init__'ing new ones.
Stupid mistake- was only collapsing edges with UV's
Added support for "Weighted Collapse" Before an edge could only collapse into its middle,
Now the edge collapses into a point bias'd by the 2 verts Concave/Convec "Pointyness" value as well as boundry weighting.
This works much better for boundry verts. - UV's Vcols and Weights are correctly interpolated into the new location.
Added a tool in the mesh menu for accessing the poly reduction tool.
fixed some bugs in BPyMesh_redux, tweaked to work well for test cases. much better use of error levels for edge weighting. better collapsing to the desired target. triangulates before reduction be default now.
* Much improved, slower edge collapse weighting method that makes this script about 2.5x slower, but brings it up to the quality of qslim (lightwave's decimator), without the manifold' errors.
Probably worth adding a UI front end to this function.
