Force Fields and Falloff are now simpler and more compact
by removing unnecesary labels (there was a text label just for one option)
Particle Force Fields Falloff is now a sub-panel of each effector type,
rather than just as a section with label.
Move Navigation Manipulator toggle next to Mini Axis as they are related
(and in the future merged into one pulldown) and rename Manipulator
to "Transform Manipulator" to make it clear they're different kinds
of manipulators. Also move to the first column next to other viewport settings.
In stead of a single refresh function that re-init the whole system. The
API now supports adding and removing. Which will be much faster and less
flickering of missing icons when adding/removing lights
There was a Full Shading bool that was shared across the WP, VP and TP
modes. This commit makes some changes:
- Replace the bool with a factor. This gives the user more control on
the visibility.
- Also draw it on top of the Material and Rendered mode so the user can
control what he needs. In certain cases you don't want to see the final
rendered material, but the actual texture.
- Removed the skipping of objects when in paint modes. As now the paint
modes are blended.
the use of the texture drawtype is limited. so who should we have it
this prominent on the screen. By adding it as a shading.color_type
option we should save some screenspace.
Expose search like in 2.7, we could make it pop on Ctrl+F to save space if needed.
Align Filter and the less used View menu to the right.
Based on mockups and feedback session with William
H hides selected objects, Shift+H hides unselected objects, and Alt+H
reveals hidden objects.
This hiding state is distinct from restrict viewport and render, and
meant for temporarily hiding objects without affecting more persistent
collection hiding.
Object hiding is per view-layer, same as selection. It affects the
viewport and any preview renders in there, but not final renders.
In the outliner, different icons are now used for temporary hiding, and
restrict viewport and render. Hidden objects are greyed out.
Remaining design issues:
* For lamps we probably still want to keep their effect on the scene,
currently they are fully disabled by hiding. Arguably mesh lights or
even objects being reflected or casting shadows are not that different
but perhaps the special lamp exception from local view should remain.
* We need a feature still to disabled this hiding for specific viewports,
for render or animation preview where you want to see the entire scene
while working in another view.
* We need a new icon for restrict viewport, for now it uses a grid similar
to the 2.4 icon.
* Hiding objects does not preserve selection state as it did in 2.7,
it's probably convenient to support this again?
By default users want AA in the viewport. For slower systems you want to
be able to turn it off. As in the future we would also like to support
TAA in the viewport we introduced it as a Max Viewport AA settings.
Also removed the drawoption to enable/disable AA per viewport
When rendering the AA is always turned on.
This mimics the behaviour of the old wireframe mode. When in Xray mode,
don't use the limit selection to visible option.
Also hide the option if Xray is enabled.
This means the shader can now be used for procedural texturing. New
settings on the node are Samples, Inside, Local Only and Distance.
