When WITH_INPUT_NDOF is disabled, 3D mouse handling code is removed
from:
- GHOST (was mostly done, finished the job)
- window manager
- various editors
- RNA
- keymaps
The input tab of user prefs does not show 3D mouse settings. Key map
editor does not show NDOF mappings.
DNA does not change.
On my Mac the compiled binary is 42KB smaller after this change. It
runs fine WITH_INPUT_NDOF on or off.
Now, when creating new keyframes in the graph editor by ctrl-clicking, only
the newly created keyframes will be selected. This is a little workflow tweak
to make it faster to work, as you no longer have to deselect all, and then
re-select the newly added keys in order to manipulate them.
The old behaviour (not modifying the selection status of the old keys) has been
kept, but is now available via Shift-Ctrl-Click.
Feature request from @Shhlife
This was a feature request from a few years back (IIRC from ZanQdo?) to make it
easier to reuse one set of driver variables across several different drivers.
Dev Notes:
* Finally it's done! All that trouble for two little buttons.
* Grr... cmake... grrr!
When working is the Graph Editor it can be very important to be able to work with fractions
(sub integers), especially when working with Drivers. Currently the "Cursor Y" is hooked up
to "cursor_position_y" which allows fractions but "Cursor X" is directly hooked up to
"frame_current" which is an integer.
This commit adds initial support for this feature.
* When in Drivers mode, the x-part of the cursor is mapped to a new "cursor_position_x"
value which can have fractional values. Animation mode however remains mapped to frame_current
* This commit only adds the UI/property/drawing tweaks needed to support this.
Many operators still need to be modified to consider this value instead of the
current frame, for this to be more useful.
Sometimes the timeline header didn't update after time-scrubbing in the graph
editor ends, leaving the "Pause" button visible until the next refresh of the
timeline (e.g. on mouse over)
Our current keymap doesn't give us enough room to make such changes in
the event system. To fix small issues caused by this, we would need to do
drastic changes in Blender's keymaps and internal handling. It was worth
a try, but it didn't work.
I can write down a more descriptive statement in a few days, but for now
I need a break of this stuff.
Design task: T42339
Differential Revision: D840
Initial implementation proposal: T41867
Short description:
With this we can distinguish between holding and tabbing a key. Useful
is this if we want to assign to operators to a single shortcut. If two
operators are assigned to one shortcut, we call this a sticky key.
More info is accessible through the design task and the diff.
A few people that were involved with this:
* Sean Olson for stressing me with this burden ;) - It is his enthusiasm
that pushed me forward to get this done
* Campbell and Antony for the code and design review
* Ton for the design review
* All the other people that gave feedback on the patch and helped to
make this possible
A big "Thank You" for you all!
This works by using the distance in the x axis only (usually artists want to influence nearby
keyframes based on timing, not value). Tweaking handles is the same as tweaking
the central handle. It's a bit ambiguous if proportional editing is really meaningful
for handles but will leave that for artists to decide.
and graph editor.
This was a tricky commit that was not so straightforward to make work.
The information for bones is not easy to come by in the animation curves,
however we do have some string manipulation tricks to make it happen.
Testing in gooseberry worked for the rigs there, commiting to master now
In the process, I've removed the old operator (ANIM_OT_channels_visibility_set)
and folded that option in with the hide operator, to make this consistent
with how this is done in the 3D view and other parts of Blender.
Now the hotkeys here work in line with what's done for other parts of Blender
* H = Hide selected
* Shift-H = Hide unselected (i.e. old VKEY behaviour)
* Alt-H = Reveal all
Revised the tools for managing which FCurves are visible in the Graph Editor
curves area. Now, there are the following tools in place:
* V (channels region only) = Hide all curves except those in selected channels [OLD]
* H = Hide all selected curves [NEW]
* Shift-H = Show all previously hidden curves [NEW]
I've removed the old operator to toggle visibility status of selected curves,
as it doesn't seem that useful anymore.
Quick fix, this is actually a demonstration of why we should use modal keymaps!
We can give any event to *start* the op, but then hard-code how to *end* it... tsk.
This uses a different operator than the other time editors (as it needs to support
the setting of the value-cursor too), so the changes here didn't get propagated through.
This commit introduces support for a number of new interpolation types
which are useful for motion-graphics work. These define a number of
"easing equations" (basically, equations which define some preset
ways that one keyframe transitions to another) which reduce the amount
of manual work (inserting and tweaking keyframes) to achieve certain
common effects. For example, snappy movements, and fake-physics such
as bouncing/springing effects.
The additional interpolation types introduced in this commit can be found
in many packages and toolkits (notably Qt and all modern web browsers).
For more info and a few live demos, see [1] and [2].

This operator used to be called "Jump to Frame". It basically takes the midpoint
(frame number and/or value) of selected keyframes, and positions the current
frame (or2d-cursor in Graph Editor) at this point.
The hotkey for this is now Ctrl-G (i.e. as it's similar to a "Goto Frame"
feature). It is also now in the Key menu instead of in the relatively obscure
View menu, even though it doesn't actually result in any keyframe edits taking
place.
(Also, fixed a typo/grammer issue with one of Remove Bone Group operator)
