Previously we tried this but reverted (see 64d40c82c3)
because there wasn't a predictable set of keys to use global-space.
Now the keys are swapped:
- 'GX' always transforms in the user defined orientation.
- 'GXX' always transforms in global space.
As before 'GXXX' cycles back to disabling constraints.
This does have a down side that GXX won't be used for local-space
when the user has global space set.
Also, when global is the user-orientation, pressing GX and GXX
does the same thing.
Note: examples here use GX but could be any transform-mode/axis.
Bring back per-viewport localview. This is based on Blender 2.79.
We have a limit of 16 different local view viewports.
We are using both the numpad /, as well as the regular /.
Missing features:
* Hack to make sure lights are always visible.
* Make rendered mode with external engines to support this as well
(probably just need to support this in the RNA iterators).
* Support over 16 viewports by taking existing viewports out of local view.
The code can use a cleanup pass in the future to unify the test to see
if an object is visible (or we can use TESTBASE in more places).
Needed for situations when we can't use the orientation.
With extrude the initial extrusion recalculates normals for edges
and vertices which then don't give a useful axis.
This commit merge the full development done in greasepencil-object branch and include mainly the following features.
- New grease pencil object.
- New drawing engine.
- New grease pencil modes Draw/Sculpt/Edit and Weight Paint.
- New brushes for grease pencil.
- New modifiers for grease pencil.
- New shaders FX.
- New material system (replace old palettes and colors).
- Split of annotations (old grease pencil) and new grease pencil object.
- UI adapted to blender 2.8.

This is the result of nearly two years of development and I want thanks firstly the other members of the grease pencil team: Daniel M. Lara, Matias Mendiola and Joshua Leung for their support, ideas and to keep working in the project all the time, without them this project had been impossible.
Also, I want thanks other Blender developers for their help, advices and to be there always to help me, and specially to Clément Foucault, Dalai Felinto, Pablo Vázquez and Campbell Barton.
There are now 3 categories in the overlay popover:
- Navigation
- Active (camera, lamp... etc)
- Tool (manipulator)
The user preference for mini axis now controls if the mini axis
displays minimal or a full-interactive widget.
Part of design: T55863
Note that due to RNA get/setters issue, that one may actually add some
G.main usages to the total... But at least it's not hidden anymore in a
very low-level, dark corner of BKE pointcache code!
Notes:
* Really need to address RNA setters case, end up adding way too much
G.main here these days... :/
* Added Main pointer into bAnimContext, helps a lot in anim code ;)
574c0fe38f caused complications
restoring the cursor.
Use WM_cursor_modal_set/restore which is intended for operator use,
calling ED_region_cursor_set after an operator runs isn't reliable.
Existing code checked pose/edit mode to check for transforming in an
objects local space.
This added many similar checks all over the code,
which leads to confusion.
Multi-edit caused a regression in UV transform since where UV's
had the object matrix applied by accident.
Now there is a boolean to use a local matrix,
this allows for any mode to have a 4x4 matrix
applied w/o adding mode specific checks everywhere.
