* Added toolbar UI for setting "anchored" mode
* Added a "persistent" mode for the layer brush; basically you can keep sculpting on the same layer between strokes when this is on. There's a button to reset the base so you can add another layer on top of that, and so on.
This feature was suggested by Blenderer on BA, thanks!
Note, I think these options could use better names in the UI, but I couldn't really think of anything very descriptive, suggestions welcome
Various fixes for painting, sculpting and particle edit, still
much to be done...
* Move RNA paint and sculpt structs into rna_sculpt_paint.c,
* Added Particle Edit RNA.
* Some tweaks to existing Paint RNA.
* Put texture paint and particle edit object in context.
* Fix some errors in the brush layout, properly doing None
checks, fixing some wrong property identifiers.
* Added tool enum for texture paint and particle edit in panels.
* Allow editing brush textures in the texture buttons, still with
a stupid toggle, ideas for how to make the connection better are
welcome.
* Revert lamp sampling/buffers change. The right enum items should
be defined in RNA, not the layout, so that it works in outliner,
python api too.
* Also changed type popup to radio buttons again, and removed the
icons. This is more consistent, and I don't think it's a good idea
to start using icons for these things, too much clutter.
* Replace Mesh with Normals panel in the mesh buttons.
* Remove Material panel from mesh buttons.
* Added name fields for shape/vgroup/vcol/uv.
* Spacing tweak to Object and Bone names.
* Fix some naming conflicts in RNA, with "name" and "type" properties
being defined twice in the same struct.
* context.scene.tool_settings -> context.tool_settings.
* Some changes to make lamp and world textures editing work.
You may have to click on another texture slot once before
being able to add a texture, and the layout is messy. Added
this so lightenv project isn't blocked by this being missing.
* Adding a new material slot now doesn't create a new material
anymore, to avoid creating unused materials.
* Tiny changes to scene/object buttons.
* support for dynamic enums to be inspected enumProp.items() from python.
* fix, enums check for a separator was flipped, meant no enums were in docs.
* dynamic enum functions now check for a NULL context and return all possible options for the "items" attribute used for docs.
* added an arg for rna arrays to free the array there looping over (needed to free dynamically allocated enum items)
* python api checks for NULL items since this can happen in some cases.
* python api, When getting an enum ID from an int in an array - If it failed it would get the first enum identifier and return that. Brecht? dont understand, making it return an empty string in these cases.
== Re-added smooth stroke ==
UI: toggle is just in the sculpt menu for now. Also changes the sculpt paint cursor slightly, draws a line between previous and current locations.
It's a different implementation than in 2.4, works like this:
The stroke interpolates between the last mouse location and the current location, weighted towards the previous location. If the stroke gets within a certain radius of the current mouse location, the stroke stops. This radius allows for sharp turns in the stroke.
Todo: there are two hard-coded parameters that should become user settable, that's the weighting between previous and current locations, and most important, the no-update radius.
Note also that this option was added as a per-brush flag, worth discussing whether that's the correct place, or whether it should be a sculpt setting like symmetry?
== Improved stroke spacing ==
The previous implementation of stroke spacing simply guaranteed that stroke dots would not occur any closer than the space setting. It now forces stroke dots to always be the specified distance apart.
Todo: Performance gets pretty awful with a small spacing setting, this needs optimization.
* Added icon to property and enum property items. The latter is
responsible for the large number of files changed.
* For RNA functions, added PROP_RNAPTR flag to ask for a PointerRNA
as argument instead of a C pointer, instead of doing it implicitly
with the AnyType type.
* Material: properly wrap diffuse/specular param variables, and
rename some things for consistency.
* MaterialTextureSlot: added "enabled" property (ma->septex).
* Image: make animated property editable.
* Image Editor: make some things editable, notifiers, respect state.
* Context: fix issue with screen not being set as ID.
* Automatically do us++ and us-- reference counting in ID pointer
set functions.
* Added an enum property callback to dynamically vary the list of
available items.
* Added some functions to do removes on pointers and collections
runtime defined for RNA and using ID properties.
* Constraints now have owner/target space wrapped, and most
pointers made editable. They can be ported to use python layouts.
* Also other pointers made editable that I think are see now with
the automatic reference counting.
* Allow pointers to be editable, did SpaceTextEditor.text as a test.
* Changed PROP_NOT_EDITABLE to PROP_EDITABLE, and added
RNA_def_property_clear_flag.
* Removed rna_dependency.c test code.
* Image painting back. 2d paint, 3d paint and projection, undo,
pressure, repeating paint operations, etc should all work.
Drawing cursor needs a bit of work, only gets shown when enabling
texture paint mode now.
* Move sculpt, image paint, and vertex/weight paint into a single
sculpt_paint module. Doesn't make much difference now, but nice
to have it together for better integration and consistency in
the future.
* RNA_blender.h is now generated along with the other files. It is not
used anywhere yet, and still located quite hidden next to the other
rna_*_gen.c files. Read only access for now.
* Inherited properties are not copied from the base anymore but
iterated over. Patch by Vekoon, thanks!
* Array get/set callbacks now do the whole array instead of getting an
index. This is needed for some layers for example so python can set
the array as a whole, otherwise the check that one layer has to be
enabled at all times gets in the way. Also nicer for the C API.
* Also some changes to returning pointers to make the API cleaner, got
rid of the type() callback and instead let get() return PointerRNA
with the type included.
The C API looks like this currently:
http://users.pandora.be/blendix/RNA_blender.h
* Added a rotation setting to brush (and brush RNA)
* Brought back strength and rotation modes for radial control
* Brought back brush texture for radial control
* Turned off display of sculpt brush during radial control operator
* Finished DNA_lamp_types.h, DNA_world_types.h and DNA_sound_types.h.
* Renamed "parent" struct property to "nested", and also remaining "from"
usage to "base".
* Added a NEVER_NULL subtype for pointers and use it for all properties
that apply.
* Make sure all structs have a description, and fix any other DOC_BROKEN
descriptions, also many other naming consistency improvements.
a special UI handler which makes the code clearer. This UI handler is attached
to the region along with other handlers, and also gets a callback when all
handlers for the region are removed to ensure things are properly cleaned up.
This should fix XXX's in the UI code related to events and context switching.
Most of the changes are in interface_handlers.c, which was renamed from
interface_ops.c, to convert operators to the UI handler. UI code notes:
* uiBeginBlock/uiEndBlock/uiFreeBlocks now takes a context argument, this is
required to properly cancel things like timers or tooltips when the region
gets removed.
* UI_add_region_handlers will add the region level UI handlers, to be used
when adding keymap handlers etc. This replaces the UI keymap.
* When the UI code starts a modal interaction (number sliding, text editing,
opening a menu, ..), it will add an UI handler at the window level which
will block events.
Windowmanager changes:
* Added an UI handler next to the existing keymap and operator modal handlers.
It has an event handling and remove callback, and like operator modal handlers
will remember the area and region if it is registered at the window level.
* Removed the MESSAGE event.
* Operator cancel and UI handler remove callbacks now get the
window/area/region restored in the context, like the operator modal and UI
handler event callbacks.
* Regions now receive MOUSEMOVE events for the mouse going outside of the
region. This was already happening for areas, but UI buttons are at the region
level so we need it there.
Issues:
* Tooltips and menus stay open when switching to another window, and button
highlight doesn't work without moving the mouse first when Blender starts up.
I tried using some events like Q_FIRSTTIME, WINTHAW, but those don't seem to
arrive..
* Timeline header buttons seem to be moving one pixel or so sometimes when
interacting with them.
* Seems not due to this commit, but UI and keymap handlers are leaking. It
seems that handlers are being added to regions in all screens, also in regions
of areas that are not visible, but these handlers are not removed. Probably
there should only be handlers in visible regions?
* Added a function to define booleans negative, to turn negative
properties into positive ones gettin rid of the no_ prefix, and
also got rid of the use_ prefix for two booleans.
* Also made the function for enum bitflags separate, this is quite
rare so don't need to bother with this in most cases.
* Removed svn:executable flags from some files.
many small changes, but the two bigger ones are:
* Sensors and controllers now use inheritance, rather than pointing
to the data in a separate struct. Had to add some new RNA define
functionality to support this better.
* DNA_meta_types.h was marked as done but still missing many things,
now completed.
Implemented RNA wrappers for curves and VFont. Only issue I could
not yet solve is related to struct CharInfo curinfo; . This particular
line proved to be hard to wrap and I therefore marked it as a TODO
should someone want to fix this issue.
I also cleaned up makesrna.c a bit by unifying brush/meta parts
under one call just the way it is done in the case of other
wrappers.
Wrapped most of brush. Brush is still missing a link to texture and to
BrushClone. Also PAINT_TOOL_DRAW etc. flags found on DNA_brush_types.h
need to be associated to a brush somehow. Currently they are linked
to a brush via ImagePaintSettings.
Also changed identifiers in metaball wrapping to conform with the
standards.
