- updated docs with recently added functions
- dynamic menu entries now are sorted (alphabetically, of course)
- added new menu categories for scripts: Wizards, Modifiers, Generators, Materials, Animation:
only added to list of options, didn't mess with any Blender header. They are already available from the "Scripts" menu in the scripts win, but not elsewhere.
- added option 'datadir' to Blender.Get(option):
so scripts can use .blender/bpydata for reading / writing their data files.
- Finally added Blender.Load function for loading .blend files, useful for demos, for example.
- Moved data from Blender.h to Blender.c. We'll keep doing this where it applies and someday remove all unused files at once.
ID_asPyObject and ID_getScriptlinks functions,
moved code into BPY_interface.c (where it fit better)
- EXPP_interface.c is essentially obselete now
- I didn't test this, I'm sure I broke something, if a Pythonista
could comment that would be nice (oh and the maintainer too).
- added some constants for the rendering module to blender module
- moved rendering functions from scene to scene.render
- rendering functions called from renderData struct instead of from scene directly
- getRenderingContext() returns rendering data struct
- deprecation of old scene functions
- some formatting/documentation of code
- New module + doc: Blender.Library:
It's like File->Append, loads datablocks from .blend files.
- small updates to fix warnings and accomodate for the new module, in readfile.[ch]
- New Blender.sys module function: time, a wrapper of the PIL get time function.
- Updated original makefile and scons builds.
- fixed two warnings, unused var in Object.c and undeclared function in script.c
- updated Blender.Draw doc, it was missing info about Button object
- refactored pytype initialization to try to fix for once platform (and distro!) specific crashes on startup. This asked for tiny updates in Effect.[ch] (removed static from declaration, moved definitions to the .c file) and modules.h
- fixed error I made trying to fix scripts w/ no [eol] char in menus. Thanks Michael Velikanje for reporting the problem!
- Michel's linux test builds with Python 2.3.x were crashing. This of course shouldn't happen even when Python isn't installed in the system. The problem was much probably some uninitialized internal type needed by the Mathutils module and the "fix" is stupid.
Moving the registration of Mathutils module in Blender.c to the end of the list solves the crash here.
Basically this provides three new things:
1. Choice of a list of noise-base functions, which can be used by the
current Clouds, Marble, Wood textures as well.
2. Three new texture types: Musgrave, Voronoi and DistortedNoise
3. Python access to noise functions (not for render!)
All of this together makes Blender's builtin procedural textures a LOT
more powerful. Here again, a full webpage should be made to show off all
possibilities, and explain some of the more scientific names for settings.
A good read on Musgrave textures can be found here:
http://www.ypoart.com/Downloads/Musgrave.htm
About Voronoi:
http://www.ypoart.com/Downloads/Worley.htm
I can't find official DistortedNoise docs easily... maybe its something
Eeshlo created himself.
I've spent some time to change the patch Eeshlo provided. Worth noting:
- created main texture "Musgrave" with 5 sub choices (instead of 5 new
main textures)
- added for all new textures the option to scale (zoom in out)
- added patch in do_versions to initialize variables
I hope the Python team will check on the Noise.c API. And include in docs!
- tentative fix for scripts with CR/LF endings and split lines:
in 2.32, the ac3d and vrml2 exporters, for example, had lines
split with '\\\\' and so gave syntax errors when executed on Win
platforms, because the scripts bundled with Win binaries had dos
line endings.
- Chris Keith has written code to execute Python scripts from the
command-line, with '-P ' switch: "blender -P filename":
a Blender.Quit function was also added, so Blender can quit after
running the script (end the script with Blender.Quit()), but there's
still work to be done in this part, including adding more functions,
to load / save .blend files and to run scripts. More testing and
discussions are necessary.
Thanks Chris, for both your contributions and your patience, since I
wasn't available to check / commit this for a while.
- support for quaternions, euler, vector, matrix operations.
- euler supports unique rotation calculation
- new matrix memory construction and internal functions
- quaternion slerp and diff calculation
- 2d, 3d, 4d vector construction and handling
- full conversion support between types
- update to object/window to reflect to matrix type
- update to types/blender/module to reflect new module
- enabled all the Lattice methods in Object.c
- added Lattice types to Types.c
- add Lattice initialization to Blender.c
- updated makefile for new lattice file
- added Lattice.c/Lattice.h
- Window: added .GetCursorPos()
- Lamp: updated for NoDiffuse and NoSpecular modes
- Registry: new module to handle persistent data
- vector: made it correctly print only 3 values when vec->size==3:
Fixes nmvert coords printed with a 4th 0.0 coordinate
- Text: fixed crash on startup (Python 2.3, linux):
added definition of the Text pyobject earlier, in Types.c
* Moved public declarations in camera and lamp to a new file: bpy_types.h.
* Fixed minor bugs in material, rgbTuple and Lamp + other minor changes.
* Made part of the changes to conform to decided naming conventions.
Now Blender.NMesh.PutRaw() doesn't destroy vertex color info anymore.
Both exppython's NMesh.c and bpython's opy_nmesh.c were updated.
* Minor changes in other files.
Jacques Guignot (guignot) sent updated files for his Curve module.
* Module Armature (and its submodule Bone) added:
Jordi Rovira i Bonet (bandoler) contributed both modules, which
are NEW additions to Blender Python, not available in Blender 2.27.
* Added function to NMesh.c:
Jordi again. He added the function NMesh_getVertexInfluence().
time.
* Created the M_ObjectCheckPyObject and M_ObjectFromPyObject functions. These
are needed for interfacing to other modules.
* The Object methods have been created. Not all of them are implemented yet.
Partially implemented. Most of it comes from opy_nmesh.c, plus needed
changes to integrate in into exppython.
* Added helper submodule vector, needed by NMesh.
* Minor changes in other files.
Callbacks registered with Draw.Register in Python are called now.
That should fix submodule Blender.Draw.
* Added a few other missing functions to BPY_interface.c
* Finished implementing Get() function for Camera, Lamp, Image and Text:
Both the .Get(name) and .Get() cases are handled now.
* Added function Blender.ReleaseGlobalDict():
This function should give script writers control over whether the
global Python Interpreter Dict should be cleared after the script is
run (default is to clear). This is a test.
Most of the code comes from bpython/intern/opy_window.c, but two
new functions were added, to access the file and image selector
windows in Blender.
* Added submodules Draw (gui) and BGL (OpenGL wrapper):
The code comes from bpython/intern/opy_draw.c, with minor changes
to integrate it in the new implementation.
* Made changes to Camera, Lamp and Image submodules:
The implementation was improved. These files should be good
starting points for interested new coders to look at, now.
* Renamed interface.[ch] to EXPP_interface.[ch] to avoid conflict:
There is another interface.h file in source/blender/include.
* Split Blender.c (created Blender.h)
* Followed a naming convention suggested by Willian for Modules and Classes.
* Implemented New, Get and GetSelected functions for the Object module.
* Implemented most of the attributes in the Get and Set functions for the
Object module.
* Hopefully fixed a link error on OS X.
Declared g_blenderdict externally in modules.h and moved the real
declaration to Blender.c
* Implemented BPY_end_python function.
* Implemented error handling. This results in rerunning a script after an
error has occurred. No need to restart blender anymore.
* Camera module supports dir()
* variable assignment now calls the Python equivalent function - this has
type checking and should be safer now.
* Implemented the Lamp module. Used the Camera module as a template.
* Implemented the Image module.
* Added EXPP_ClampFloat and EXPP_intError functions to gen_utils.[ch]
* Implemented 'constant' object.
gen_utils.c (GetObjectByName).
* Blender.link, Blender.bylink and Blender.event should work. Somehow the
only event coming through now is only REDRAW.
* Added include path to /intern/guardedalloc
Michel
* Object.Get("") should work.
* Many variables from module Object are implemented.
* Updated build environment to generate more warnings (-Wall)
Michel
wrapper functionality by hand.
* Removed the swig files (*.i and *_wrap.c)
* Created initial datablock functionality. Most of it has been copied from
the old implementation.
* Created some general functions in gen_utils.[ch]
* Blender.Get(), Blender.Set() and Blender.Redraw functions should work in a
script now.
* Started implementation on an Event function call (BPY_do_pyscript)
Michel
Blender.
* Moved api2_2x/interface.c to ./BPY_interface.c
This will be the general api layer from which all variants of the Blender
api. Currently only the 2.2x variant is initialised.
* Used swig (www.swig.org) to create Python wrappers for a couple of dummy
functions.
* Started implementation of the Blender and Blender.Object modules.
