This uses the weighted average of polygon centroids based on area
It work well in most cases but will be slightly wrong when polygons have
many vertices.
- define array sizes for functions that take vectors.
- quiet some -Wshadow warnings.
- some copy/paste error in readfile.c made it set the same particle recalc flag twice.
Center Cursor uses BKE_object_minmax(), which uses pchans' bone member to check whether a bone is visible or not. But after a duplication, the duplicated pchan->bone are NULL, skiping in this case (as if they were hidden, not optimal but should do the work for now - anyway, using pchan's values in Edit mode does not really make sense, imho).
the render branch.
When a material is linked in and has a light group override, this can now use
a local group in the scene file, by replacing the linked light group with a
local group that has the same name. A use case might be controlling the specular
highlight on linked character's eyes per scene.
Patch from render branch by Pablo Vazquez.
Bit flag 5 has apparently been used for another purpose in old versions, then deprecated and was actually removed from DNA (this should never be done), then later it got reused for SOCK_DYNAMIC. Now a one-time check to clean up these flags is done in do_versions.
This makes it possible to do a border render inside a viewport even
when not looking through the camera.
Render border could be defined by Ctrl-B shortcut (works for both
camera render border and viewport render border).
Camera render border could still be defined using Shift-B (so no
muscule memory would be broken). Currently used a special flag of
operator to do this, otherwise you'll need to either two operators
with different poll callback or it could go into conflict with a
border zoom,
Border render of a viewport could be enabled/disabled in View
panel using "Render Border" option.
check if the object is already parented to said deformer before trying to add a
new modifier
This should help reduce the number of cases where users inadvertantly end up
creating multiple deform modifiers pointing to the same object, which has been
known to be a cause of "double-transform" artifacts.
Note that this is only able to detect these cases by checking if the parent
object is selected, so this will only really work for the Ctrl-P shortcut where
you have to select both objects first. However, it shouldn't be a problem either
in the Outliner (drag and drop), as the object probably won't be a child of its
parent already if you're doing this.
Just makes progressive refine :)
This means the whole image would be refined gradually using as much
threads as it's set in performance settings. Having enough tiles is
required to have this option working as it's expected.
Technically it's implemented by repeatedly computing next sample for
all the tiles before switching to next sample.
This works around 7-12% slower than regular tile-based rendering, so
use this option only if you really need it.
This commit also fixes progressive update of image when Save Buffers
option is enabled.
And one more thing this commit fixes is handling display buffer with
Save Buffers option enabled. If this option is enabled image buffer
wouldn't have neither byte nor float buffer until image is fully
rendered which could backfire in missing image while rendering in
cases color management cache became full.
This issue solved by allocating byte buffer for image buffer from
tile update callback.
Patch was reviewed by Brecht. He also made some minor edits to
original version to patch. Thanks, man!
Each BSDF node now has a Normal input, which can be used to set a custom normal
for the BSDF, for example if you want to have only bump on one of the layers in
a multilayer material.
The Bump node can be used to generate a normal from a scalar value, the same as
what happens when you connect a scalar value to the displacement output.

It's using the Ward BSDF currently, which has some energy loss so might be a bit
dark. More/better BSDF options can be implemented later.
Patch by Mike Farnsworth, some modifications by me. Currently it's not possible yet
to set a custom tangent, that will follow as part of per-bsdf normals patch.
(Note for Lockal: also checked fcurves/drivers, but those names are directly taken from RNA prop name, hence they are as UI label, translated in the current language, but not stored in data. So no problem here ;) ).
* new/remove for GPencil frames/strokes/
* add/pop for points
* clear for frame/layer & grease_pencil
* copy for frame
+ fix for free_gpencil_frames() not clearing the active frame
