- Also made it so sys.stdin isnt overwritten anymore, instead the interactive consoel overwrites while it executes and restores after.
- removed hope folder from sphinx patch path
This commit started out aiming to make the "Stepped" F-Modifier (committed last night) even more useful, but ended up fixing a few other finer-points of how F-Modifiers work.
Firstly, the new stuff:
I've addded options to the Stepped F-Modifier to not affect frames before and/or after specified values, and renamed the 'start offset' to 'offset' for clarity.
The main objective of this is to allow Stepped F-Modifiers to only affect certain time ranges, so that by layering/using multiple instances of the F-Modifier, it can be possible to have multiple stepping-sizes.
This allows for effects like:
http://www.pasteall.org/blend/2230
or in words, it provides a convenient mechanism for animators to specify whether sections of the animation is shown "on twos", "fours", or even "forty-second-ths plus a smidgen", as can be easily done with 2D.
Assorted changes to support this:
* Properly fixed up how F-Modifiers that work with time, evaluate the time to evaluate the curve at. Now layered time effects like this should be possible in a much nicer way.
* Added proper value range validation/clamping to many properties. There are still a lot more that need checking, but at least more properties now do "the right thing".
* Copy/Paste operators for F-Modifiers
Available in Graph and NLA Editors. Use the Copy/Paste buttons beside the 'Add Modifier' buttons.
Copy copies all the modifiers of the ACTIVE F-Curve or Strip depending on the editor.
Paste pastes modifiers from the buffer to all the selected F-Curves or Strips, adding the new modifiers to the ends of each list.
* 'Stepped Interpolation' F-Modifier
This modifier holds each interpolated value from the F-Curve for several frames without changing the timing.
This allows to preview motions 'on-twos' for example without altering the timing, or having to go through setting heaps of keyframes. In this case, Andy wanted to use this for CG <-> StopMo.
Most likely will not compile for others, I'd appreciate any build errors
and missing files reports (I can never seem to get everything committed
and all the build systems working without help).
Porting over the sculpt/multires tools was a breeze,
thanks goes to brecht for a design that didn't exclude
ngons and was easy to port.
Note that I've not tested externally-backed multires
file support yet. Also, I still need to write version
patch code for some cases.
Some notes:
* Like trunk, topological changes don't update multires right,
so e.g. subdivide will duplicate multires data on the new faces,
instead of subdividing it.
* If you set the debug value (ctrl-alt-d) to 1 it'll turn on
my experiments in speeding up sculpting on higher-res multires
meshes (but note it makes partial redraw not completely accurate).
* There's a bug where you have to go through editmode to get out
of sculpt mode, not sure if I inherited or created this myself.
* Removing duplicate api functions
* Shuffled around newly added api functions to make the ordering more consistent
* Fixes for a few bugs in the api functions as I checked over them
* Replaced most of the #defines for flags and modes with enums
- renamed .add() to .new() for rna collection functions since they dont add an existing item.
- remove 'name' as an argument from the new driver target function, better to keep the api minimal and let scripters use the data api for editing values after.
- added some api functions to keep rna api from becoming a mess.
* Convert all code to use new functions.
* Branch maintainers may want to skip this commit, and run this
conversion script instead, if they use a lot of math functions
in new code:

* #19727: Noise modifier does nothing with size 1.0
When the 'Size' and 'Phase' parameters were both 1.0 exactly, and evaltime was an integer (as is the case when doing animation evaluation but not for Graph Editor drawing), the noise calculation function was bailing out. Now, the 'z' component supplied to this function is a decimal value (hardcoded to 0.1 after experimentation) to try and avoid this situation.
* Graph Editor 'Bake' operator was using wrong poll callback, making it useless when trying to use it on a F-Curve that only has modifiers on it (i.e. the main use case of the operator!)
* F-Modifier API is now in its own file in blenkernel
* Renamed and refactored these so that they're no dependent on F-Curves, since all they really used was the fcu->modifiers list
* Added missing license blocks to a few files
