Set T_ALT_TRANSFORM flag event handling function rather than accessing
window manager form flushing sequencer transform data.
Visual feedback about what exactly will happen on placing strip between
two other strips could be also improved.
- Disabled "Quick Cache" option. It was causing ridiculous updates
on the entire animation system for start-end frame on every user
event causing changes here (like during transform). Worst was that you
couldn't transform animated objects for that reason either.
Most of the code is still there, waiting for a moment to revise it...
- Constraint "Follow Track" (marker) wasn't using inverse matrix code
in transform, making it wacko to use (wrong pivot, crazyspace)
In response to some of the feedback, I've taken a second look at the situation
when multiple views are open, and indeed in that situation having it display in
every region and blinking was quite overwhelming (admittedly, I've mainly been
testing on single-view setups). Now it only shows for the region that was used
for initiating the transform.
By default, this is enabled, so that newbie users who are most likely to be
caught short by this will get the benefits of this option, while seasoned
animators are likely to know where to go to turn things off (i.e. the scratch-
an-itch urge is quite a powerful motivating force...)
Recently on the bf-funboard list, there have been some requests for clearer
indications for animators that autokeying has been enabled when transforming so
that corrective action can be taken sooner if this wasn't expected. This is
especially important in distributed+collaborative environments where multiple
artists may work on a single shot file: someone working on a shot from
another animator may not be aware that autokeying was enabled, thus accidentally
setting a whole bunch of extra keyframes.
In this current incarnation, we display using red (not hardcoded, but using an
existing theme color) a solid 1px border around the 3D view while transforming
with autokeying enabled. In addition to the border, a blinking indicator (record
icon + "Auto Keying On" text) appear in the top right corner, as inspired by the
traditional recording indicator icons on camcorders.
Generated and UV coordinates from the duplicator of instance instead of the
object itself.
This was used in e.g. Big Buck Bunny for texturing instanced feathers with
a UV map on the bird. Many files changed, mainly to do some refactoring to
get rid of G.rendering global in duplilist code.
The issue was caused by SEQ_BEGIN macro modifying sequence's depth
which ruined transformation routines. Used own DFS instead which
doesn't modify sequences.
Also corrected some typos in api and comments.
