This adds a center circle (like translation and resize) to the rotation manipulator that triggers trackball rotation.
It will still flip, but it now has a small buffer region before it does that which returns a really large positive or negative value. This still only happens in perspective cases, when moving along an axis that is nearly aligned with the view.
Reordering some function calls in transform cleanup to make it simpler (that means other fixes are possible too, sequencer probably don't need it's own freeing function anymore).
Limitations:
1) Parents and children of selected objects are excluded from the pool (siblings are ok) Making it work with that would required unparenting and reparenting after transform, that would turn nasty really quick.
2) Does not support Connected (this could be done through parent links, but see 3 first).
3) Parent relationships in affected objects aren't taken into account. When parent and children in the area of effect, remember that the children will also take the motion of the parents (with additive results). This could perhaps be fixed, but it could be nasty.
Other stuff:
New BASE_EDITABLE macro that checks if base is editable (like TESTBASELIB except it doesn't check for selection)
Add scene parameter to TESTBASELIB_BGMODE macro (using it from current scope is nasty)
- undo stops all running jobs (operator redo was crashing with threaded render)
- adding new armatures was crashing if there was no valid view3d
- transform with an active hidden object would crash
Will use rotation gimbal axis when an object or bone set to Euler rotation mode is selected (global axis otherwise)
Use case: being able to do rotations that only affect one animation curve in the 3d view instead of just in the curve editor.
I'm committing this right now despite what follows because it's already useful as is.
Known bug: manipulator arrows can look slightly skewed (not really a big problem), but more importantly, rotation circles for the rotation manipulator are skewed and will not perfectly reflect the rotation axis (it will still use the correct one though). That will be fixed shortly.
To do: This orientation should act like Local, where each object/bone uses its own orientation and not just the one of the active object/bone.
Note: Saved files with custom orientations might end up with other orientations selected when being opened up. I don't think it's that useful to make a do_version for that, but I can if warranted.
* AutoKeying was broken after the fix to get automerge working again in 3D view. The 3D-View check was swallowing the processing before autokeying could be done. Separated these out again.
* The error print when some external data couldn't be found for objects was missing a newline.
* There's an unresolved error in transform_conversions.c which I've flagged in this commit. I'm not quite sure what the exact intentions of that code were (i.e. was the "void_pointer = 1" really intended)
- Generated and uploaded api docs - http://www.blender.org/documentation/250PythonDoc
- Added Edit docs menu item & operators as discussed with Mindrones, Brecht, Stani & Letterip @ bconf, needs some web backend. python operator can aparently use xml/rpc to upload docstrings.
- Added operator invoke function - context.manager.invoke_props_popup(self.__operator__, event)
this calls a popup for invoke by default (which intern calls execute())
- Own recent commit to game framing applied to non-camera views too.
- v3d->persp is deprecated but still used in some places.
- Transforming strips could overlap 1 frame if moving them below frame 0
- Transforming overlapping strips could go into an eternal loop (though overlapping strips should not exist)
The previous order is correct, the new order forced all global scale on local axis (in object mode).
The "problem" with scaling (or mirroring) in object mode along an axis that is not aligned along one of the local axis is that the result has to be decomposed (as best it can by TransMat3ToSize) into scaling factors along local axis. The more axis aligned the object is, the more "correct" it will look, with the worse being a scale along two local axis when the scaling axis is right between them.
One "solution" could be to make all Mirror transform in object mode work on local axis only (but I don't think that would be correct, since it still works correctly on aligned axis).
Blended shape keys can now be displayed & edited in edit mode. This
is much like showing an armature modifier in edit mode, and shape keys
now are a applied as a virtual modifier (for mesh & lattice only, curve
doesn't fit in the stack well due to tilt).
The main thing missing still is being able to switch between the active
shape key in edit mode, that's more complicated.. but the weights of
other shapes can be edited while in edit mode.
One thing to be careful about is that this does automatic crazyspace
correction, which means that if you edit a shape key with a low value,
the actual vertices will be moved to correct for that and actually move
a (potentially much) longer distance.
Also includes some UI tweaks, mainly placing some buttons horizontally
since the vertical list was getting too long.
* RNA Path fixing when renaming data now checks if a path in question cannot be resolved before trying to fix it. This should reduce the number of misindentified cases I hope.
* Silenced compiler warnings for EdgeSlide stuff that mingw was making about unused variables.
* Transform code was not properly fixed to work with the new way that axis-angle data was stored
* The order of the args for the conversion function when switching rotation representations was wrong, causing problems when switching from quaternion to axis angle (i.e. these occurred for newly created bones).
It is now possible to choose from 'Bounding Box' (default), '2D-Cursor', and 'Individual Centers' as the pivot point(s) that rotation/scaling is performed around.
part. This fixes a bug where transform help line drawing would not
work with view clipping and mess up the z-buffer. This avoids the
transform code having to figure out what kind of opengl state is
enabled and disable it temporarily.
theeth: maybe there needs to be a new SnapMode for this? - SNAP_SELF?, like editmode but without setting t->editob
- dont run special_aftertrans_update on scene objects when after sequencer transform
- invalid pointer was used for getting the sequencer length crashing blender or setting the length to negative values.
- printf_strip(seq) for debugging sequence strip locations
- Spelling: Cheet Sheet -> Cheat Sheet
Updating the sequencer after transform could not use special_aftertrans_update because it relies on data that is freed
theeth: moved the customFree function to run before freeing t->data, t->data2d in postTrans(), checked that customData is not needed.
Actions on press is used everywhere in Blender, lets not make an exception here because there's something missing in the event system.
Bug report and potential solution is here, if anyone wants to have a go at it: http://projects.blender.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=19510
Made the confirm keymap for transforms use KM_RELEASE instead of KM_ANY (I didn't see any case where this failed yet?), and restored the "ctrl-click" as it was before r23903
* Changing to the ShapeKey editor now automatically enables the value sliders
* Filtering code for ShapeKey editor can now do AnimData block filtering too (internal details...)
* Silenced console warnings when inserting keyframes on F-Curves with no keyframes already (for Animation Editor sliders)
* Made the update code for keyframe transforms send more general depsgraph updates. Unfortuately, this still doesn't resolve the update problems with shapekeys
* Tiny tweak of GL commands used when drawing F-Curves (single GL_LINES instead of multiple GL_LINE_STRIPS) to hopefully improve the performance with heaps of handles drawn a bit
* Spelling fix for initTransDataCurveHandes -> initTransDataCurveHandles
The code for transforming a mixture of keyframes with bezier and non-bezier interpolation was crashing.
The old code only took all the handles when a keyframe was bezier, and one when it was not; but sometimes this underestimated the situation (the first handle is only really used if the previous keyframe was bezier, as per the standard evaluation rules for these, but it didn't really check for this). Now, it just adds them whenever, since there is the possibility that keyframes may be moved before other unselected ones, in which case the handles may become invalid.
Thanks to Lee (from Durian, who found the crash), and Jess Balint (who had submitted a patch with some steps towards fixing this)
wm.context_set(path="scene.tool_settings.someattr", somevalue)
wm.context_toggle(path="scene.tool_settings.somebool")
wm.context_toggle_values(path="scene.tool_settings.some_enum", value_1="somevalue", value_2="othervalue") # switch between 2 values
wm.context_cycle_enum(path="scene.tool_settings.some_enum", reverse=False)
the path value is taken from the context so the full path is
context.scene.tool_settings...
This means in keymaps you can cycle draw modes, change PET- anything with rna access.
If its not so nice to map keys to operators like wm.context_set we could use macro's to wrap it and have its own name
Use this for PET and setting pivot options
- Made userpref key shortcut Ctrl+Alt+U since its not used in 2.4x
- added pivot_point_align (Alt+Comma)
- added PET wasnt rna wrapped correctly.
