effect for a render engine using new shading nodes. In short:
* No longer uses images assigned to faces in the uv layer, rather the active
image texture node is what is edited/painted/drawn.
* Textured draw type now shows the active image texture node, with solid
lighting.
* Material draw mode shows GLSL shader of a simplified material node tree,
using solid lighting.
* Textures for modifiers, brushes, etc, are now available from a dropdown in
the texture tab in the properties editor. These do not use new shading nodes
yet.

to be used by cycles. For testing there's a panel in the node editor if you set
debug to 777, didn't enable it because I'm not sure it's very useful there.
===========================
Commiting camera tracking integration gsoc project into trunk.
This commit includes:
- Bundled version of libmv library (with some changes against official repo,
re-sync with libmv repo a bit later)
- New datatype ID called MovieClip which is optimized to work with movie
clips (both of movie files and image sequences) and doing camera/motion
tracking operations.
- New editor called Clip Editor which is currently used for motion/tracking
stuff only, but which can be easily extended to work with masks too.
This editor supports:
* Loading movie files/image sequences
* Build proxies with different size for loaded movie clip, also supports
building undistorted proxies to increase speed of playback in
undistorted mode.
* Manual lens distortion mode calibration using grid and grease pencil
* Supervised 2D tracking using two different algorithms KLT and SAD.
* Basic algorithm for feature detection
* Camera motion solving. scene orientation
- New constraints to "link" scene objects with solved motions from clip:
* Follow Track (make object follow 2D motion of track with given name
or parent object to reconstructed 3D position of track)
* Camera Solver to make camera moving in the same way as reconstructed camera
This commit NOT includes changes from tomato branch:
- New nodes (they'll be commited as separated patch)
- Automatic image offset guessing for image input node and image editor
(need to do more tests and gather more feedback)
- Code cleanup in libmv-capi. It's not so critical cleanup, just increasing
readability and understanadability of code. Better to make this chaneg when
Keir will finish his current patch.
More details about this project can be found on this page:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Nazg-gul/GSoC-2011
Further development of small features would be done in trunk, bigger/experimental
features would first be implemented in tomato branch.
update signal for this was missing. Problem is that the operator properties
RNA update callback doesn't know the associated keymap item, worked around it
with UI template now.
from Andy Braham (andybraham)
This adds support for empties to reference images and draw in the 3D view.
Modifications from the original patch.
- use an empty draw 'image' type
- use image aspect ratio for non-square-pixels
- when the image is not found, still draw the frame.
Also use const char in many other parts of blenders code.
Currently this gives warnings for setting operator id, label and description since these are an exception and allocated beforehand.
- made interface, windowmanager, readfile build without unused warnings.
- re-arranged CMake's source/blender build order so less changed libs are build later, eg: IK, avi
- set_frame() --> frame_set()
- set_context_pointer() --> context_pointer_set()
material adding works for curves and metaballs, new function to remove materials.
materials.link() didnt well fit how this is used elsewhere
- order matters
- it can be linked more than once.
- remove(material), isnt that useful since you need to manage indicies.
... use list style functions instead. materials.append(mat) / materials.pop(index)
eg:
row.prop_search_self(scene, "active", "keying_sets", text="")
...becomes
row.prop_search(scene.keying_sets, "active", scene, "keying_sets", text="")
This is more flexible since it works for other UI functions too.
layout.prop_search_self(), the same as layout.prop_search() except it uses an attribute of the collection.
A number of collections have an 'active' member which couldnt be used with prop_search() and meant we had a mix of active properties being in collections and directly added as properties.
layout.prop_object() --> prop_search().
The internal name is uiItemPointerR, in python this can translate into into an Object, however this is misleading.
It can be confused with a blender Object and uiItemPointerR can also be used for strings.
- remove brush array for each Paint struct, just use a single brush pointer.
- removed rna function based template filtering.
- filter brushes using a flag on the brush and the pointer poll function.
- set the brushes using a new operator WM_OT_context_set_id().
TODO
- remake startup.blend, currently brush groupings are lost.
- rewrite WM_OT_context_set_id() to use rna introspection.
Fairly closely match some mac application colin has called 'Looks', to give better results.
- lift is now applied non linear (was being added to the color)
- change the color wheel to preserve the luminance of the gamma and gain values, this stops the color from being set too dark (option for the color wheel template).
- sub-pixel precission for the color wheel since the white area at the center can make a lot of difference with a very small change.
This change will make existing node and sequencer setups lift render slighly differently however discussed this with Ton and he's ok with it.
* Constraint template now uses 2 rows as well, when the area width is small.
* UI Code could use some code/layout cleanup still, will look into that soon.
- rename 'no_bg' argument to 'emboss' (and negated)
- added 'emboss' option for operator buttons.
- Addon UI Layout slight modifications, changed enable/disable buttons for checkbox, grey out text of disabled addons to make it obvious at a glance whats enabled.
- column expanded enums now align text to the left.
- renamed ui_item_enum_row to ui_item_enum_expand since its used for columns and rows.
* Now it displays the last report from the global list, not just from operators
* Rather than disappearing when a new operator is run, it stays until it times
out or a new report is added
* Fun animated transitions ;)

Now need to investigate report usage with popups. Ideally we can have most
reports non-blocking, so they're less intrusive, only popping up for dire errors.
Problem is many things in Blender right now are marked as RPT_ERROR
when probably RPT_WARNING is more appropriate. Should probably keep
RPT_ERROR for things that demand immediate attention.

This adds the waveform monitor and vectorscope to the image editor 'scopes'
region, bringing it inline (plus a bit more) with sequence editor functionality,
and a big step closer to the end goal of unifying the display code for image/
comp/sequence editor. It's non-intrusive, using the same code paths as
the histogram.
There's still room for more tweaks - I modified the original patch, changing
the openGL immediate mode drawing of the waveform display to vertex arrays for
speed optimisation. Xavier can look at doing this for the vectorscope now too.
Thanks very much Xavier!
C functions and python used different argument order, this relied on mapping non-keyword arguments to 'REQUIRED' arguments but meant that you could not have an optional, non-keyword argument.
next commit will make order of arguments consistant (currently only changed order that rna wrapped).

Reports (i.e. 'info' or 'errors') are now shown in the info header in place of the scene statistics if the last executed operator had some, with this info disappearing again once another operator is run (to show scene statistics again).
For example, this means that info such as the the number of verts merged, or whether a Keying Set successfully inserted keyframes, etc. is now shown again somewhere, and that this is done in a non-blocking manner.
The current implementation is still a bit crude (i.e. lacking fancy polish), but is at least barebones functional. The todos...
* When more than 1 report message is generated by the last operator, there is currently a display of the number of reports. In future, it would be nice to be able to add a button beside this or make the label clickable with appropriate text indicating this (commented out atm) to show popup menu of all the reports...
* There could probably be some kind of coloured backdrop behind the text. Currently using standard box, but that has padding problems, and lacks visual interest.
* Timer based fade out/disappear?
