This commit is just meant to give the new GUI framework a concrete shape.
There is no usefulness in newly introduced elements at the moment.
Freestyle options in render layers now include a pull-down menu named Control
Mode that allows you to choose either the Python Scripting or Parameter Editor
mode. The Python Scripting mode is the conventional way of controlling
Freestyle by directly using style modules written in Python. The Parameter
Editor is a new control mode that is intended to be used by everyone without
relying on Python programming.
In the Parameter Editor mode, you can specify multiple line sets for each
render layer. A line set defines feature edge selection criteria, as
well as a line style for drawing the selected feature edges using specific
line stylization parameters. Line style is a new datablock type, meaning
that a line style can be shared by multiple line sets (possibly those in
different render layers in different scenes).
Much more additions are anticipated in subsequent commits to implement UI
controls for specifying feature edge selection criteria and line stylization
parameters.
- obstacle culling for correct simulation in 3d
- flag for steering actuator termination on reaching target
- path recalculation period
- advance by waypoints (for path following)
An entry "Crease Angle" has been added to the Layers tab of the Render
buttons, to allow users to specify an angle (between 0 and 180) used for
crease edge detection. An edge is considered a crease edge if the angle
between two faces sharing the edge is smaller than the threshold. The
default value is 134.43 degrees (for backward compatibility). Be aware
that a larger threshold leads to a larger number of feature edges and
thus a larger memory consumption.
A checkbox "Material Boundaries" has been added to the Freestyle
options in the Layers tab of the Render buttons. By enabling the
option, any edge between two faces with different materials is
detected as a feature edge. In style modules, edges at material
boundaries can be tested with pyNatureUP1D(Nature.MATERIAL_BOUNDARY).
* Removed dynamic linking libTIFF code and change it to static linking
(built into the blender executable). Dynamic linking made things a
fair bit more complicated and wasn't working at all before on OS X -
the dylib didn't exist and wasn't being copied. Since TIFF is more heavily
depended upon now in Blender, it makes sense to make it less 'optional'
and more in line with other libraries.
I've updated both CMake and scons, and CMake on OS X/64bit works fine.
It's now up to other platform/build system maintainers to enable this for
their respective platforms (Campbell will check it for linux). For windows,
and non-64bit osx, we need static libtiff libraries in /lib.
I've added options WITH_TIFF for CMake and WITH_BF_TIFF for scons,
so if blender won't build because of this, you should be able to disable
these options until your build system has been updated.
* Bonus feature: while doing this, I added support for loading 16bit and 32bit
per channel TIFFs - they get converted to Blender's float buffers. Handy for
zbrush displacement maps!
'Mask layers' should be visible always, they still work to mask out objects on
layers when zmask isn't on (zmask is slightly different.. a bit confusing)
Icon tweaks too
* Division by zero fix for TNT SVD code.
* Sound fix, in case ffmpeg decode fails, don't use the samples.
* Fix for incorrect bounds of transformed objects in new raytracing code.
* Gave memory arena's a name used for allocations for easier memory
usage debugging.
* Dupligroup no_draw option was using layers but not restrict view/render
setting. (not a bugfix exactly but would do display list context switching
while drawing for no reason).
* Fix objects instanced on hair particles not giving consistent results
when the object is transformed.
* New math functions: madd_v4_v4fl, len_squared_v3v3, interp_v4_v4v4v4,
mul_v4_m4v4, SH and form factor functions, box_minmax_bounds_m4.
* mul_m4_m4m4 and mul_m3_m3m3 now accept the same pointers for multiple
arguments.
* endjob callback for WM jobs system.
* Geometry node uv/color layer now has search list/autocomplete.
* Various small buildsystem tweaks, not strictly needed yet in trunk.
Supports default OSX codecs : Linear PCM, Apple Lossless and AAC
Note that AAC codec doesn't support sample rates above 48kHz. If a python/rna guru knows how to easily enforce this limit, he is welcome!
Enjoy making Quicktime movies now with audio!
create_mesh, create_dupli_list, make_display_list and is_visible.
This is done in order to make these context independent as the RNA API should
be as much as possible, and to fix#21297 and #21719, where there was an
assumption from these functions that there is a scene in the context, which
does not work for external render engines exporting in a separate thread.
Also avoided using context in a number of other functions, ideally only UI/WM
type functions should use context.
I've updated the scripts in trunk, but the addons and external ones in
development will need updates too.
* Some cases of struct name being set where it shouldnt have been.
* Spelling: wich --> which
* Copy and initialize uv modifier scale, remove unneeded enum.
* Ability to pin any object into the context.
* Update uv window while transforming (useful when used with UVProject modifier)
* Patch by Wahooney, so new template's are internal text and dont get saved over
by mistake.
* Fix for https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=572186
Bug 572186 - [abrt] crash in blender-2.49b-5.fc12: Process
/usr/bin/blender.bin was killed by signal 6 (SIGABRT). Original fix submitted
by Jochen Schmitt.
* [#21816] bpy.data.add_image has stopped working on Windows. moved to
bpy.data.images.load(), missed this call.

This commit clarifies the somewhat "murky" separation between "builtin" and "absolute" KeyingSets as a result of discussions with Cessen.
* "Builtin" Keying Sets are now just the Keying Sets which in the past have been known as PyKeyingSets or Relative KeyingSets. These are registered from Py Scripts at startup, and will use the context info to determine what data they should be keyframing. These are stored per Blender session, independent of files, since usually these will be coded specific to sets of rigs used at a studio.
* "Absolute" Keying Sets are the ones that you can create from the Scene buttons and/or KKEY or RMB over any property. They specify the exact set of properties which should always get keyframed together. These are stored in the scene.
In relation to this, I've made it possible to now set one of the builtin Keying Set types as the active Keying Set.
* For now, this can only be done via the box beside the insert/delete key operator buttons on the TimeLine header (now complete with an recycled icon - HINT TO ICON DESIGNERS, to make this a bit more obvious). Later on I'll commit an operator to set this via a hotkey.
* The "IKEY" menu will only show up when there is no active Keying Set. When there is one, keying will happen silently (with info notice at the top of the screen). Later on, I'll hook this menu up to a hotkey, so that that active Keying Set can be changed without inserting keyframes or clearing active Keying Set...
* By default, there isn't any default Keying Set enabled. IMO, this is probably a good default, though some might like to have LocRotScale instead.
* I'm not terribly impressed with the search menu for the items being SORTED (and of all things, alphabetically!) currently, since this does break muscle-memory with the menu (and jumbles up order of closely related vs not closely related).
* The Scene buttons for KeyingSets still need some changes to fully cope with users setting builtin KeyingSets as active sometimes. Controls which are useless or shouldn't be used when a builtin set is shown are being shown.
Builtin set registrations have been tweaked a bit:
* Renamed "bl_idname" to "bl_label" for consistency with rest of API. Note that this is the identifier used by Blender internally when searching for the KeyingSet, and is also what the user sees.
