- bugfix for setting string defaults in rna functions (incorrect pointer use and would copy past string length).
- Object.dm_info was setting a default when it didnt need to.
through Object.dm_info('SOURCE/DEFORM/FINAL')
this is to help tracking down issues with modifiers where loosing data
layers between modifiers can cause bugs, also to helo with comparing
bmesh/trunk's modifier stack.
- Object.to_mesh was still using deprecated colbits variable (object material wouldnt work for any material after 16)
- dont set colbits when setting material slot anymore.
use more api functions more (some vertex group editing functions were copied about), also make some functions int oapi calls.
- remove defgroup_find_index(), use BLI_findlink instead since they both work the same way.
- move static function getNearestPointOnPlane() to BLI_math api function closest_to_plane_v3()
- ED_vgroup_give_parray() added option to return an array where unselected verts are NULL (simplifies code & works for lattice when it didn't before).
- more consistant error checking of ob->actdef.
Some notes about code status:
* The Blender modifications were fairly quickly put together, much more code
polish and work is needed to get this to a state where it can be committed
to trunk. Files created with this version may not work in future versions.
* Only simple path tracing is supported currently, but we intend to provide
finer control, and more options where it makes sense.
* For GPU rendering, only CUDA works currently. The intention is to have the
same kernel code compile for C++/OpenCL/CUDA, some more work is needed to
get OpenCL functional.
* There are two shading backends: GPU compatible and Open Shading Language.
Unfortunately, OSL only runs on the CPU currently, getting this to run on
the GPU would be a major undertaking, and is unlikely to be supported soon.
Additionally, it's not possible yet to write custom OSL shaders.
* There is some code for adaptive subdivision and displacement, but it's far
from finished. The intention is to eventually have a nice unified bump and
displacement system.
* The code currently has a number of fairly heavy dependencies: Boost,
OpenImageIO, GLEW, GLUT, and optionally OSL, Partio. This makes it difficult
to compile, we'll try to eliminate some, it may take a while before it
becomes easy to compile this.
Object.is_modified(scene, 'PREVIEW') function for python exporters to check if any modifiers or shape keys are applied (weather the original mesh can be used for exporters).
'create' was used as prefix and suffix, change dupli list functions to use as suffix, this matches obj.animation_data_create() & obj.animation_data_clear().
obj.create_dupli_list() --> obj.dupli_list_create()
obj.free_dupli_list() --> obj.dupli_list_clear()
Don't use 'create' for object to mesh function since other uses of this are for createing data which stays attached, instead use mathutils style naming convention.
obj.create_mesh() --> obj.to_mesh()
- WITH_OPENJPEG wasn't defined for creator.c with CMake.
- remove shadowed/redefined vars.
- remove some unused RNA report args.
- re-arrange IMB_FILE_TYPES so IRIS is not the first format tested, since its not very common test JPEG and PNG first.
available on many keyboards these days, so that they can be used for
animation playback (giving more options over alt-a and alt-a ad-
infinitum).
Currently, this is Windows only as I don't have a Linux/Mac system to
test on (it should compile with both mingw and msvc, at least using
scons). Maintainers for those systems can probably easily add this in
once they find out the relevant mappings for those systems.
* Particle duplis are now always created with render percentage if G.rendering is set.
* This is not yet a perfect solution (hair for example won't yet work correctly), but
it's good to have even partial functionality here until a proper way to handle this
is implemented.
move Object.update(...) to ID.update(). since depsgraph update function can now be called on ID types.
also changed how update flags work.
obj.update(scene, 1, 1, 1)
... is now
obj.update({'OBJECT', 'DATA', 'TIME'})
Don't pass scene anymore. This was used for recalculating text but I think this is better dont in a different function.
