Ambient occlusion: multiplied with direct lighting by default, add
is also still available and more blending methods might be added if
they are useful. This is fundamentally a non physical effect.
Environment lighting: always added as you would expect (though you can
subtract by specifying negative energy). This can be just white or take
colors or textures from the world.
Indirect lighting: only supported for AAO at the moment (and is still
too approximate), and also is always added. A factor is available to
specify how much is added, though value 1.0 is correct.
Also:
* Material ambient value now defaults to 1.0.
* Added Environment, Indirect and Emit pass.
* "Both" blending method is no longer available.
* Attenuation, sampling parameters are still shared, some could be split
up, though if they are different this would affect performance.
Also meant to mention, on the todo: show the confirmation before closing the file selector,
rather than afterwards where it's inconvenient and easy to miss...
The 'save over' popup was only appearing based on a string comparison of the operator name ("Save"). Changed this to use a hidden operator property: "check_existing". Python operators must
have this property for the file selector confirmation too.
This property can also be set to false, to prevent checking for existing files, useful in the File->Save menu item to prevent the dangerously missable confirmation popup.
- Removed control-shape deformation bones from the spine rig (no longer necessary thanks to the new "custom shape at" feature).
- Various improvements to the mouth rig, including a corrective shape key for mouth-open.
- The new method of generating into the same armature object every time wasn't copying pose bone data in the process, such as rotation mode and transform locks.
* Better (and windows enabled) OpenMP handling (> 2x-5x speed)
* More Volumetric Texture mapping options (heat, etc) <-- Matt if that's not to your liking, just revert that part, it's separate anyway
* Initial velocity taken from particle settings (no more slow starting)
* Option to select compression method (there seem to be a bug in my high compression usage, at least it's been reported to result in exploding smoke - better use low compression for the time being)
It's been tested since a while but as usual please report any (new!) bugs. ;-)
By default the generated rig object is named "rig". But you can add a custom "rig_object_name" property to the metarig to specify the name of the object to generate into.
levels, child particles, and shadow/SSS/AO quality.. Now also works on what
is displayed in the 3d view instead of only rendering, see panel in the scene
properties.
Most file changes were to make scene available in the isDisabled modifier
callback function.
* Select Grouped
Selects bones in the same layer or same group as the selected ones. Optimised the code for the select same groups too.
* Flip Quats
Flips quaternion values so that the rotation progresses over a different path while maintaining the same endpoint orientations.
python modules bpy.app, bpy.utils are now included in docs.
C defined python module bpy.props has its docstrings extracted and written directly into sphinx docs since the C methods cant be inspected.
added docstrings to bpy.props and improved some in bpy.utils.
will update online docs tomorrow.
Works correctly with menu, keymap definitions and keymap export/import.
Properties set in the macro definition overwrite those set by the user (there's no way to see that in the UI at this point).
MISSING: Python operator calling code to fill in the properties hierarchy.
Also contains some keymap export changes by Imran Syed (freakabcd on irc): the exported configuration will use the name of the file and the exported script will select the added configuration when ran.
This patch by Guillaume Lecocq (lguillaume) adds user preference settings for setting the playback frame-rate and delay between captured frames for the screencasting feature.

I've made a few tweaks for a few minor issues
- Made DNA vars for these settings shorts instead of ints, reducing the number of unnecessary extra pad vars
- Added version patching to ensure that these settings are initialised by default
- Made tooltips for the settings more descriptive
- modify the path in python rather then C
- filter returns an object in python 3, set using slice.
also import sys as _sys so it doesnt appier in aytocompleation.
- In 2.4x, this setting was the lock button in the headers.
- Now, this option can be found in the View menus of all relevant editors
- Basically, this option toggles whether objects (using animation data that's being edited) get updated during animation editor transforms to give realtime feedback on the effects of tweaks.
- By default, this is enabled, since this fits in nicer with 2.5's everything 'live' paradigm. However, it is recommended to disable this on slower computers or when updates for heavy rigs are causing too much workflow lag
- Also, removed some old crufty settings from action editor data
- use xml.sax.saxutils.escape() to give an XML compatible string.
- in some cases material indicies could be invalid. use the default material rather then throwing an error.
Multiple background images displaying each on a different axis.
Changes made from the original patch.
- Use an enum rather then multiple booleans.
- Reduced the space taken up by the user interface.
- Made the image template compact display not show fields & premul options.
- Added readfile.c lines so old blendfile images are loaded.
- Option to hide BGpic UI (like modifiers & constraints)
- Use the index rather then a bgpic from the context for the remove operator.
note: could be good to use 1 image for both left+right, for eg, but for this to work as intended we would need to add image flipping depending on the axis so left this commented out for now.
- Added two driven-shape-key rig types that create and drive shape keys on a mesh/meshes based on the distance or rotation difference between two bones.
- Fixed bug in finger curl rig type where secondary finger controls were not created. Finger type can also now (optionally) have a hinge switch (useful when using it for wings).
- Changed the blending system in rigify_utils to use copy_transforms constraints instead of copy_loc+copy_rot.
- Finished the quadruped leg type. Now has both ik and fk control and ik/fk switching. Also uses a rotating bone to control the knee direction instead of a pole target (seems to work more consistently for quadruped setups). There's still one annoying bug regarding foot roll, but it's not blocking. I'll track it down later.
- Mouth rig now creates corrective shape keys on the face mesh for dealing with mouth corners when they spread open.
- Biped arm and leg types now cause mesh to scale when you scale the fk controls.
- Misc improvements to the rig types.
