New current_orientation property that returns the current transform orientation data (if any)
New UI elements to rename and remove custom orientation (visible only when needed)
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.
This is similar to the old retopo all option but uses the snapping code and not the openGL depth buffer (it's thus more precise).
Not sure if making it available as a snap option is sensible, this is up for discussion.
NOTE: it will get slow fast on large meshes, we need to plug in an acceleration structure into snapping.
This will need an icon too.
bpy.ops.mesh.primitive_torus_add(major_radius=1, minor_radius=0.25, major_segments=48, minor_segments=16)
- experemental dynamic menus, used for INFO_MT_file, INFO_MT_file_import, INFO_MT_file_export and INFO_MT_mesh_add. these can have items added from python.
eg.
- removed OBJECT_OT_mesh_add, use the python add menu instead.
- made mesh primitive ops - MESH_OT_primitive_plane_add, ...cube_add, etc. work in object mode.
- RNA scene.active_object wrapped
- bugfix [#19466] 2.5: Tweak menu only available for mesh objects added within Edit Mode
ED_object_exit_editmode was always doing an undo push, made this optional using the existing flag - EM_DO_UNDO, called everywhere except when adding primitives.
- added TexMesh access ([#19505] Missing option : TexMesh)
- Ctrl+Tab works again, not-so-nice workaround, disallow switching to paint modes from editmode, but would be nicer to manage this with keymaps.
* Unified scene wide gravity (currently in scene buttons)
instead of each simulation having it's own gravity.
* Weight parameters for all effectors and an effector group
setting.
* Every effector can use noise.
* Most effectors have "shapes" point, plane, surface, every point.
- "Point" is most like the old effectors and uses the
effector location as the effector point.
- "Plane" uses the closest point on effectors local xy-plane
as the effector point.
- "Surface" uses the closest point on an effector object's
surface as the effector point.
- "Every Point" uses every point in a mesh effector object
as an effector point.
- The falloff is calculated from this point, so for example
with "surface" shape and "use only negative z axis" it's
possible to apply force only "inside" the effector object.
* Spherical effector is now renamed as "force" as it's no longer
just spherical.
* New effector parameter "flow", which makes the effector act as
surrounding air velocity, so the resulting force is
proportional to the velocity difference of the point and "air
velocity". For example a wind field with flow=1.0 results in
proper non-accelerating wind.
* New effector fields "turbulence", which creates nice random
flow paths, and "drag", which slows the points down.
* Much improved vortex field.
* Effectors can now effect particle rotation as well as location.
* Use full, or only positive/negative z-axis to apply force
(note. the z-axis is the surface normal in the case of
effector shape "surface")
* New "force field" submenu in add menu, which adds an empty
with the chosen effector (curve object for corve guides).
* Other dynamics should be quite easy to add to the effector
system too if wanted.
* "Unified" doesn't mean that force fields give the exact same results for
particles, softbody & cloth, since their final effect depends on many external
factors, like for example the surface area of the effected faces.
Code changes
* Subversion bump for correct handling of global gravity.
* Separate ui py file for common dynamics stuff.
* Particle settings updating is flushed with it's id through
DAG_id_flush_update(..).
Known issues
* Curve guides don't yet have all ui buttons in place, but they
should work none the less.
* Hair dynamics don't yet respect force fields.
Other changes
* Particle emission defaults now to frames 1-200 with life of 50
frames to fill the whole default timeline.
* Many particles drawing related crashes fixed.
* Sometimes particles didn't update on first frame properly.
* Hair with object/group visualization didn't work properly.
* Memory leaks with PointCacheID lists (Genscher, remember to
free pidlists after use :).
* Added missing RNA wrapping for Scene -> AnimData
* Fixed bug (with temp-fix) where sequence strips with no names couldn't be animated properly. Currently, this will just use the index of the strip, although that is likely to be mutable (adding/removing strips will change it).
* Removed some old unused code from action.c
* Threading buxfix letting MSVC Debug builds crash because of corrupted std::lists
* Adopted two property ranges
* Changed the mixdown volume to set the device volume instead of the volume of every sound.
I also removed the private redefinition of m_logicmgr in SCA_BasicEventManager, which was already defined protected in the parent class SCA_EventManager and thus caused a bug letting GE crash here because of an uninitialized pointer.
% sign for percentage assuming it is between 0-100, while factor is
for values 0-1.
Move collision setting absorption from modifier to collision settings,
was inconsistent to have it there as the only one, and made it have
range 0.0-1.0 instead of 0-100.
* Fixed mixdown volume being int instead of float
* Fixed audio muting for sequencer not working
* Added 3D listener settings with RNA (not working in GE yet)
* PROP_NEVER_NULL is now a flag instead of a subtype.
* It works for function parameters too now, so setting
this flag can help avoid NULL checks in the function.
* Renamed LocalLamp to PointLamp, making it consistent
with the UI name.
* Set icons for the different lamp struct types.
* Added RNA subtype for layers.
* Shift-click works again.
* uiItemR can now also handle armature/bone layers.
* Also makes Move to Layer popup work as expected.
- rename "Nurb" to "Spline" in RNA, eg. bpy.data.curves[0].splines[2].type == 'NURBS'
from a user perspective spline is a more generic term while Nurb is misleading when used for beziers and poly lines.
- added curve.active_spline property so the python UI can display the last selected curve.
- set the active spline when entering editmode (uses first selected spline)
- added back Hide Handles as a curve property (removed the global flag), access from the view panel in editmode.
- added hide normal option for curve, normal size access for curve and mesh display.
- changing orderU/V, endpoints, cyclic, bezierU/V now work in editmode and calls update functions.
- entering editmode was crashing with text objects
- curve.switch_direction() crashed (own fault from last commit)
- Tkey for tilt was overridden by Toolbar, made Tilt Ctrl+T.
- OBJECT_OT_mode_set check for compatible modes before running - so curves dont try go into paint mode with V key for eg.
(this is a generalization of some of the experimental stuff i tried during SoC,
but only had time to improve a few days ago)
- it should yield slightly better results
- the cost model can somehow be tweaked to optimize for diferent trees.
*cleaned up some code
*added counters for number of SIMD BB tests
*added GPL license block on missing files
renamed RNA properties.
x_offset, y_offset -> offset_x, offset_y, this order is more common in rna.
render.border -> render.use_border
render.placeholders -> render.use_placeholder
render.no_overwrite -> render.use_overwrite
* Wrapped Grease Pencil datatypes in RNA.
* Hooked up Grease Pencil access in RNA (i.e. via Main, ID, and Scene)
TODO:
Updates to properties are currently lacking property-update calls, since there's no good notifier for this.
Wrapped the Keying Sets API with RNA Functions so that they can now be called from Py-Scripts. This will ultimately be useful for riggers to create Keying Sets which can get loaded up/created for animators to use after importing their rig.
I've created a demo for this, which can be found at:
http://www.pasteall.org/blend/552
Notes:
- Kazanbas, I've had to create a rna_scene_api.c here to hold some of the relevant functions. Hopefully this won't cause you too much pain when you do your next merge from 2.5 to your branch ;)
- I've noticed that there seem to be a few cases mentioned in the demo which don't totally work yet. I'll commit some fixes for those later.
* Popup menus now remember the last clicked item again.
* Modifier and File Format menus are now organized in multiple
columns with categories.
* Hook, explode, uv project modifiers have all their buttons
again with the relevant operators implemented.
* Modifiers that can't be added by the user, or don't work on
curves for example, are not in the menu anymore.
* Fix search menu overlapping buttons when near the bottom of
the screen.
* Fix uv layers search menu not working in some modifiers.
* Cleanup popup menu code a bit, layout engine is used in more
cases now instead of ugly position calculation code.
Implementation:
* NC_SCENE or NC_OBJECT cause scene->stats to be cleared.
* NC_INFO is sent to tag info headers for redraw.
* In UI scene.statistics() creates scene->stats if it is
NULLd, and then returns the string.
* Fix header menu spacing bug, and make it consistent for all headers.
* For consistency, always put menus first in the header, then any enums
to switch the type of data displayed.
* Node editor header ported to python layout. Still quite a few
operators missing to make the menus complete.
* RNA wrapped node editor, and added use_nodes property to material
and scene.
* Added Shading and Performance panels in the scene buttons,
containing the options previously in the 2.4x game menu.
* Added show framerate/debug/physics/warnings back in game menu.
* Moved these settings from G.fileflags to scene GameData.
* Enabled Display Lists by default.
* Some other small game scene button tweaks.
* Reverse playback works again. Flag was getting overriden before it had a chance to do anything
* Active KeyingSet field in TimeLine header should now only be marked as editable when there are some Keying Sets. However, there still seems to be a bug when trying to change this...
TODO (Brecht?): it would be nice to be able to specify a list/collection of data for pointer-buttons that aren't ID's.
* Properly wrapped Keying Sets in RNA. Now the timeline header shows a popup for choosing KeyingSets instead of the nasty index button.
* Fixed bugs in Outliner code for adding/removing array elements to Keying Sets. This makes it possible to add only the x and z location settings for an object for example.
* Finally the header and menus are done via python.
* Added RNA for sync audio.
Note: This is just a basic working version in python. It needs more work and some layout changes.
Joshua: Feel free to adjust this further :)
