- added image.getBindCode() docstring to Image's epydoc file (thanks Satish Goda).
Scripts:
- Adding Apply_def.py to "Mesh" scripts menu (thanks author: Theeth);
- Updating JMS's disp_paint.py (also changed its name to remove version info);
- minor updates in docs and scripts.
- hotkeys, obdatacopier and renameobjectbyblock, all from Jean-Michel Soler (jms);
- bevel_center by Loic Berthe, suggested for inclusion by jms;
- doc_browser, by Daniel Dunbar (Zr)
Thanks to them for the new contributions!
(I included doc_browser at 'Misc' because only users interested in script writing would actually use it, but it could also be under 'Help'. Opinions?)
BPython related:
- Added scriptlink methods to object, lamp, camera and world.
- Object: added object.makeTrack and object.clearTrack (old track method).
- sys: made sys.exists(path) return 0 for not found; 1 for file, 2 for dir and -1 for neither.
- doc updates and fixes.
- made ONLOAD event work. G.f's SCENESCRIPT bit was being zeroed in set_app_data.
- Blender: updated functions Load and Save to support the builtin importers and exporters besides .blend (dxf, videoscape, vrml 1.0, stl, ...)
- Draw: added mouse wheel events.
- Scene: added scene.play to play back animations (like ALT+A and SHIFT+ALT+A). Makes a good counter, too, when the 'win' attribute is set to a space that doesn't "animate".
The scene.play() addition and the fix to ONLOAD scriptlinks is part of the work for a Blender demo mode. It already works, but I'll still add support for Radiosity calculations and fix a thing in main(): it executes onload scripts too early (BIF_Init), giving funny results in alt+a animations and renderings when firing up Blender. Loading after the program is up has no such problems. When I finish I'll post examples of demo mode scripts.
- Campbell Barton contributed another function (thanks again), the Image.reload method:
with this a script can keep an image that is being edited and saved by an external program updated in Blender.
changed "get_ipo(key, ..." to "get_ipo((ID *)key, ..." in line 107.
* changed insert_meshkey(Mesh *me) to insert_meshkey(Mesh *me, short offline):
To call this function from a script, so that it doesn't pop the
"relative / absolute" dialog window when the "offline" arg is non-zero.
Exppython:
* NMesh module:
- Added method NMesh.addMaterial(mat) to the NMesh module:
alternative safer (aka slower) way to add materials.
- Added optional arg to NMesh_update():
if given and equal to 1, the mesh normals are recalculated.
- Fixed NMesh.getVertexInfluences: it was segfaulting when a NULL bone was
linked to the vertex. Thanks to Jiba on the bf-python mailing list for
bug report and sample .blend file. Also made this method give an IndexError
when the vertex index is out of range.
* Material module:
Added specR, specG, specB vars for compatibility with the 2.25 API.
Pointed by Manuel Bastioni.
* Image module:
Exposed image width, height and depth parameters.
From a suggestion by jms.
* BPython Ref Doc:
- Small updates to reflect the above additions.
- Added info for the Bone type in the Armature doc.
