Don't use passes anymore for indirect lighting, people were using this
probably thinking it would do bounces, but that's not the intention of
this feature, it is to reduce problems with light bleeding. I want to
remove this option for AO as well, but will leave it in for now until
there is a better alternative.
Added bounces option for indirect, could be implemented much better,
but perhaps useful for testing now. Existing files need to set this to
1 to get the same results again.
After testing and feedback, I've decided to slightly modify the way color
management works internally. While the previous method worked well for
rendering, was a smaller transition and had some advantages over this
new method, it was a bit more ambiguous, and was making things difficult
for other areas such as compositing.
This implementation now considers all color data (with only a couple of
exceptions such as brush colors) to be stored in linear RGB color space,
rather than sRGB as previously. This brings it in line with Nuke, which also
operates this way, quite successfully. Color swatches, pickers, color ramp
display are now gamma corrected to display gamma so you can see what
you're doing, but the numbers themselves are considered linear. This
makes understanding blending modes more clear (a 0.5 value on overlay
will not change the result now) as well as making color swatches act more
predictably in the compositor, however bringing over color values from
applications like photoshop or gimp, that operate in a gamma space,
will give identical results.
This commit will convert over existing files saved by earlier 2.5 versions to
work generally the same, though there may be some slight differences with
things like textures. Now that we're set on changing other areas of shading,
this won't be too disruptive overall.
I've made a diagram explaining the pipeline here:
http://mke3.net/blender/devel/2.5/25_linear_workflow_pipeline.png
and some docs here:
http://www.blender.org/development/release-logs/blender-250/color-management/
This brings back the single bounce indirect diffuse lighting for AAO,
it's not integrated well but that will be tackled later as part of
shading system refactor and subdivision changes. The caveats are the
same as AAO, with one extra thing, the diffuse lighting is sampled once
per face, so it will not be accurate unless faces are subdivided.
I'm committing this now so we can start testing it for Durian, and
since changes need to make it work properly are planned.
2. Add action parameter to Select_All_Toggle operators, rename to Select_All.
Options are Toggle (default), Select, Deselect, Invert (same as select swap). This makes it possible to map separate hotkeys for select all and deselect all.
NOTE for Aligorith: I didn't change animation operators for select_all which already had an Invert operator. These should be fixed eventually.
Brought back default effect fading: (adding a wipe effect makes it
wipe by default for the length of the strip)
First round in upgrading IPOs from older versions. (works for non-IPO
case now and sets at least the new "default effect fade"-flag)
Still non-working for old IPOs, since Sequence-Strips aren't real IDs!
And: non-frame-lock case should stretch the FCurve to the right length!
* Moved more of 3dview header to python
* Fixed the layout of the ui layers template to show the correct number of buttons
* Added support for layer icons (active layer, used layers)
[#20123] "Import" menu entry becomes empty
[#20141] In Object menu Make Links appears twice - SVN 24970
also moved OBJs name cleaning func to bpy.utils.clean_name(name, replace="_")
* Now support a Surface mode next to the existing Volume mode. This binds
the mesh to the cage mesh surface rather than it's volume.
* Implemented reusing the bone heat weighting code.
* Advantage is that it works for cage meshes that are not volumes and that
binding is much faster.
* Weak point is that disconnected components of a mesh are not guaranteed
to stick together (same problem exists with bone heat weighting).
* Bind weights could still be compressed better to use less memory.

* Dolly zoom Vertical/Horizontal switch
Changes between using vertical or horizontal mouse movement for zooming
* Invert Zoom Direction
Inverts the vertical or horizontal mouse movement for dolly zoom
Available in object mode (Object -> Join as Shapes), only works for meshes at
the present. Will merge all selected objects as shape keys on the active object,
if the vertex count is the same.
This does not keep references to the external objects like in some applications,
rather it's a quick way to update the shapes on the active object (perhaps after
importing new versions from external applications).
Renaming "Sync Audio" to "Realtime Playback" to make it clearer about its purpose. Internally, it's still called "sync_audio" since that's strictly what it represents, but that could be changed later if there is a need.
This contains two entries - one which calls the region flip operator, and one which calls the maxmize area operator.
Unfortunately, there seem to be some context issues which are causing the wrong region to get activated for use by the region flipping, meaning that nothing happens.
Also, fixed own typo in 3d-view header/menu code...
the To Do was more like self-remaining since no one else is currently working with stereo :)
I will get back to that once 2.5alpha0 is out. In the mean time let's have a cleaner interface.
