* Made the TimeLine current frame indicator get drawn using the standard frame-indicator code. Also, it is now possible to show the frame indicator box beside the line as in the other animation editors, although this is disabled in the timeline due to the closeness of the frame number field.
* Removed some old (unnecessary) code
-> "Continue Physics" option in TimeLine, which is now obsolete with the current physics options. Feel free to restore if this is not the case.
-> Already commented out hacks to create "speed ipo" for curves. There are easy alternatives that are better integrated.
-> Unused init/exit callbacks for scrubbing time, since those were only used to set an obsolete flag for timeline drawing that is now used for the indicator.
* Switched long-keyframe optimisation code to use constants instead of some magic numbers + fancy trickery...
customisable player.
You can choose a player in User Preferences -> File Paths. You can
choose a plan custom command line, otherwise there are presets available
for the Blender 2.4 player or DJV (where it will give it the correct filename,
fps, etc on the command line). So for example if you have a Blender 2.4
version installed, you can enter the path to the blender 2.4 executable,
and the playback will work just like before.
Any info on other frame players (FrameCycler? pdplayer?) and their
command line settings could be useful for adding some more presets too,
if anyone knows of them.
It's available in Render->Play Rendered Animation (Ctrl F11)
[#20336] Missing notifier - properties view does not update on UV unwrap
[#20337] Shift select is not working in UV-editor island mode
[#20338] Update automatically menu item has strange icon behavior
[#20339] Select all will quit working in UV editor
Revised external multires file saving. Now it is more manual in that you
have to specify where to save it, like an image file, but still saved at
the same time as the .blend. It would ideally be automatic, but this is
difficult to implement, so for now this should at least be more reliable.
Added option to KeyingSets+Keyframing Functions which makes newly added F-Curves for Transforms + Colours to use the colour mode which uses the array index to determine the colour of the F-Curve.
The main implication of this is that when this option is enabled for a KeyingSet, all sets of XYZ F-Curves (i.e. location, rotation, scale) for transforms will be shown in Red/Green/Blue instead of some automatically determined "rainbow" colour. Useful for animators far too used to Maya's Graph Editor :P
This setting is named, "XYZ to RGB", though that doesn't make its purpose entirely clear.
* added default_fader to transform strip, since it used the old fac too.
* removed ANIMATEABLE attribute from the settings in the transform strip, since they are animated via the effect_fader and not directly for now. (too confusing)
* UI: only show default_fader for the effect strips that support it
Sequencer Durian feature: uniform scale for Sequence transform strip.
* for now re-using variable for x-axis scaling.
Note: This brings back functionality as close to 2.49 as possible. The Start and End values in the current design are not meant to be animated directly, but via the effect_fader.
* Massive Code Cleanup, still not "Layout Code Guidelines" conform, but much better.
* Commented out buttons that don't work yet, like translation buttons.
* Some minor shuffling around of buttons in "System" Tab. William: Feel free to modify that, still some room for improvements. :)
Now, temp screens are hidden from being accessed directly, with a new 'Back to Previous' button appearing in place of the screen menu when (for example) fullscreen render image areas are present. Window type menus also get disabled here too, to prevent things from getting too mixed up.
1. MSVC 9 projectfiles update (graph_header.c, action_header.c and nla_header.c removed)
2. Fix for opening the filebrowser when saving file for the first time (untitled.blend) from file menu
3. Add CROSS effect sequence type back to menu. (Durian fix)
Note: Removed SEQ_EFFECT from rna, since this no actual sequence type, but rather used to check for the effect bit.
* Don't allow adding/removing multires levels in editmode.
* Customdata code for swapping mdisps restored.
* Fix inflate brush crashing with multires.
* Smooth and layer brush don't work yet with multires, but at
least avoids crashing now.
* Fix threading issue with flatten brush.
* Make partial update work again for faster editing.
* Draw parents over children again, nicer for editing.
* Fix crash with remove tools & showing child particles.
* Fix children not disappearing always when setting to None.
* Fix wrong normal for last point in child path.
* Fix a python error in the hair dynamics panel.
Brecht, I added a Layout template function, template_dopesheet_filter -> uiTemplateDopeSheetFilter, this creates the group of buttons for filtering ID type (and some other options) for animation editors (Graph, NLA and Dopesheet). I hope this is all right, if not, we can move this maybe to a .py file as a function for reuse.
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)
