Works like vertex-parent for Mesh and Curve/Surface. Select one or three
vertices in edit mode, and use CTRL+Select to select another object.
Then press CTRL+P.
Armature and Hook modifiers, and the flag field for the Mirror modifier. These
modifiers should all be copied correctly now.
This fix also means that converting modifiers to mesh with Alt-C now works
correctly (the convertmenu function copies the modifers before applying them,
so it wasn't always giving correct results for the above modifiers before).
The convertmenu function has also been changed to use DM_to_mesh instead of
converting to DispListMesh and using displistmesh_to_mesh, which means that
extra mesh data such as dverts is preserved.
My commit to fix weightpaint display (revision 1.125 of DerivedMesh.c) broke
normal recalculation for meshes which have only deform modifiers applied.
This commit fixes that by adding calls to CDDM_calc_normals in the appropriate
places.
The DM_from_template and DM_init functions checked for numVerts > 0 before
initialising the DerivedMesh's custom data layers. This was something of a
hack intended to allow DerivedMesh creation functions to initialise default
function pointers without initialising custom data layers (by passing a 0 for
the numVerts parameter). It is unneeded now that DM_init_funcs is present, and
causes memory deallocation warnings later on when the number of vertices
really is 0, so it has been removed.
module itself, replacing the special MEM_mallocT/MEM_freeT functions.
Mutex locking is only enabled when threads are running.
There was no good reason to have these separate, it just led to ugly
hacks when calling functions with non-threadsafe malloc from threads.
file path where library is read from.
In Outliner, choose new view mode "Libraries". A ctrl+click on the library
name then allows to change the file name or path. Note that when you change
the file name, nothing is being re-read or re-linked. Only after saving the
.blend file and reading it back the new library is used.
This feature allows to cleanup library usage. You can make files relative,
or reorganize a project. Just keep in mind that you cannot use this feature
to fix .blend files that link to non-existing other files. That because the
lost data is actually not read at all, so cannot be saved either.
Currently, library errors are only printed in the console... quite
important to keep track of when using Libraries.
Implementation note: this Outliner view mode can become expanded to a full
"Database view", showing something similar as SHIFT+F4 databrowse does now.
structured and more maintainable. The old algorithm could leave the mesh in an
inconsistent state during recursive calls, making it quite fragile. The new
algorithm keeps the mesh in a consistent state, and should be more robust.
This commit fixes the issues EdgeSplit was having with non-manifold meshes
(bug #4946, also reported by several other people). EdgeSplit now works
correctly with all the test files I have.
This commit also fixes the BLI_ghash_remove function to correctly decrement
gh->nentries (the number of entries in the hashtable) on a successful removal.
In a quick glance: (temp image)

Main reason is that Lattices are useful a lot for Armature deformation.
Lattices just provide much more precise and interesting control. However,
with only bone envelopes it's very hard to use.
Working with Lattice vertex groups is nearly identical to Mesh:
- on CTRL+P 'make parent' you can choose the deform option now
- In editmode, the buttons to control vertex groups are available
- In outliner you can select vertexgroups too
- Deforming Lattices with Armatures has all options as for Mesh now.
Note:
- No WeightPaint has been added yet. To compensate, the editmode
drawing for a Lattice with vertex group shows weight values for the active
vertex group.
- Lattice editmode doesn't undo/redo weight editing yet.
- Softbody for Lattice still uses own vertex weights
Implementation notes:
- derivedmesh weight_to_rgb() is now exported to drawobject.c
- been doing cleanups in code (order of includes, var declarations, etc)
- weightpaint button handling now is generic
I've checked on Brecht's proposal for Custom Element data;
http://mediawiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/CustomElementData
It could have been used, but that would mean the existing code for
vertexgroup handling and armature deform couldn't be re-used. I guess this
is really a later todo.
had to make some room in the "Mesh Tools 1" panel,
removed "Center" - its alredy in the "Mesh Tools" panel, and grouped the "Normal" draw buttons.
At the moment mixing modes dosnt work, we will need to review this to see if its worth attempting.
Curve Length" or "Fixed Count" and the base mesh was scaled to 0 in edit mode
(could also happen while entering a numerical scale value like 0.25).
The problem was that the dist value could be almost 0, leading to a
ridiculously large duplicate count which would then cause memory allocation
to fail and the array modifier to get stuck in an almost infinite loop trying
to calculate the offset of the final copy. This commit fixes the problem
by checking that dist is greater than FLT_EPSILON before continuing.

modifier.
The bug was caused by an endless loop in the Array modifier's calc_mapping
function. The loop worked under the assumption that there could not be sets
of vertices such that (for example) vertex A merges with vertex B and vertex
B merges with vertex A. As it turns out, this situation is possible, so the
loop got stuck going from A to B to A to B ad infinitum.
This commit fixes the problem by limiting the number of loop iterations with
the copy number for which the mapping is being calculated. This should also
give more correct results in general.
data, due to the temporary "Weight-coloured" TFace data being replaced by
the original before displaying. This commit fixes that by changing the type
of DerivedMesh calculated by mesh_calc_modifiers when no non-deforming
modifiers are applied from MeshDerivedMesh (which depends on the original
Mesh) to CDDerivedMesh (which doesn't depend on the original Mesh).
Compositor: Rotate Node
It only delivers RGBA buffers for now. Also Image size is unaltered, so
parts get cropped away. Doesn't work with translation Node before this
node yet.
RGB values if they are returned by the texture function. This fixes an issue
reported by several people where Image textures gave no displacement unless
CalcAlpha was turned on.
a vertex group which will modulate the influence of all bones in the armature.
This commit also tidies up the height of the modifier panels; they should all
have the same size margin now.
exception of the clone tool.
One level undo for image- and texturepaint, only storing those tiles
that changed.
Test to improve texturepaint performance using glTexSubImage2D, only
enabled with 2^n sized textures and mipmapping off. Painting a 2048x2048
texture is then pretty smooth here, as long as the geometry is not too
complex.
Particle distribution error when using Vertex Weights.
In the unlucky case the last face in a Mesh has no weight (zero), the code
that tries to distribute particles evenly accidentally could assign it
still a particle, because of the 'remainder' calculus.
Also only happens in cases where the remainder has a value.
So a workaround is also to increase/decrease amount of particles.
- this patch adds verse support for SCons, which can be enabled by
giving WITH_BF_VERSE=1, ie. on command-line
- this patch also adds a custom lib dir possibility. From the patch description:
"To set a custom ../lib dir, put LCGDIR="path to lib dir, including the platform folder name!" in your user-config.py."
* Fixed win32-vc-config.py so that it links to the proper library. Reported by Brandano.
of the fluidsim can now be disabled with the
flag: BF_NO_ELBEEM='true', e.g. for irix systems.
(The number of ifdefs from the original
patch was reduced, and the defines are now
only necessary when elbeem is switched off.)
- particle generation option is available again
[ #4337 ] Cant refresh the C:\
[ #4710 ] Wrong paths in file selector under user prefs
[ #4353 ] Using ^ char + click on Open/Load = Blender crash
Details:
Fixes for root paths like C:\ on Windows, where Blender still used '/'.
Also contains fixes for relative paths:
- no relative paths for the default dirs (forced to absolute)
- message if using relative paths when .blend file hasn't been saved.
Lastly also added '.' for refresh in root paths. Windows
FindFirstFile/FindNextFile also return '.' and '..', but not in root paths like C:\
Compositor: Image nodes used for Movie files didn't convert the relative
paths (if used), so it could not load the movie file.
This bug explains why sometimes movies worked in the Compositor... so for
the current release the bypass is to disable the "Relative" button in the
File Window.
The Blur node didn't pass on a buffer when the 'factor' value was not
exactly zero. Tiny values (like 0.0000001) or even negative ones were
still handled by the blur code.
Boundbox code for display lists lacked a check for empty Curve/Surface
objects, causing a boundbox to be giant (initialized huge values). That
frustrates code like 'view3d home', or 'centered object view'.
(Commit in view.c is only a little bit code cleanup)
Reports came in that Elephants Dream files crash on quit or loading other
files. Was caused by freeing Material Nodes, which was accessing memory
that potentially was just freed before (node->id). Apparently only Windows
really gives issues then, which is actually a good thing :)
New toolsettings variable "select_thresh" was not initialized. This caused
the option "similar normals" to not work really (uses a dot product).
It now is initialized (scene.c) as well as corrected in do_versions for
saved files.
really cool to get this working solidly, but there are many potential problems with the
triangle face creation across the flat surfaces, especially when there are holes inside
the curves. Maybe this could be a fun project for someone better at this than I? :)
Taper object curves still cause similar problems...
* Made the curve radius affect the 'Nsize' curve normal drawing too, so you don't need a
bevel to see the value.
This is a much faster and easier way to give a bevelled curve a taper, without
using taper curves. Each point on a curve now has a 'radius' value that you can
shrink and fatten using Alt S, which will influence the taper when the curve is
bevelled (either with a bevob, or with front/back turned off and a bevel dept
set). Alt S shrinks and fattens the selected points in an interactive transform,
and you can set an absolute radius for selected points with 'Set Radius' in the
curve specials menu.
See demo: http://mke3.net/blender/etc/curve_shrinkfatten-h264.mov
This can be a quick way to create revolved surfaces (eg.
http://mke3.net/blender/etc/wineglass-h264.mov ) and it would be very
interesting to use this radius value in other tools, such as a 'freehand curve'
tool that would let you draw a curve freehand, with the radius affected by pen
pressure, or even using the radius at each point to control curve guides for
particles more precisely, rather than the continous maxdist.
Posemode, Wkey option "Select constraint target" did not work for Copy
Scale constraint.
Also added a check for NULL pointer, constraint targets cannot exist...
- It saves a file with indicated type on each change, with number
appended denoting the current frame (like ANIM saving).
- Output filename button supports relative paths ("//")
- Shows optional preview image too
- For now, added a print on each file save as feedback
To make this option work nicely, changed the BKE_makepicstring() function
to have less globals inside, so it is more generic. Todo: allow amount of
digits in filenames to be set (to support files like tmp_123456.jpg)
other are changes so calchandles_ipocurve only calc handels on a bezier line.
This makes bvh import faster but should also speed up internal IPO operations.
