blender supports type changing for textures in a way that python doesnt.
add a new general function.
Example usage:
tex = bpy.data.textures.new("Foo")
tex.type = 'IMAGE'
tex = tex.recast_type()
Macro to give the number of users accounting for fake user.
ID_REAL_USERS(id)
Use this so you can remove a datablock if it has a fake users as well as apply transformations to it in the 3D view.
Move api function bpy.data.add_texture() --> bpy.data.textures.new()/remove()
change how data is added. eg.
bpy.data.add_mesh(name) --> bpy.data.meshes.new(name)
bpy.data.remove_lamp(lamp) --> bpy.data.lamps.remove(lamp)
image and texture stil use add_* funcs
* Property update functions no longer get context, instead they get only
Main and Scene. The RNA api was intended to be as context-less as
possible, since it doesn't really matter who is changing the property,
everything that uses the property should be updated.
* There's still one exception case that use it now, screen operations
still depend on context too much. It also revealed a few places using
context where they shouldn't.
* Ideally Scene shouldn't be passed, but much of Blender still depends on
it, should be dropped when we try to support multiple scene editing.
Change was planned for a while, but need this now to be able to call
update without a context pointer.
- Use CTX_data_main(C) over G.main
- no need to define object_type_items inline.
- rna_mesh.c - dynamic length array was commented out, not sure why this was needed. Povray and PLY scripts rely on faces having 3/4 verts rather then checking the 4th index is 0 (ok in C, not nice in py).
* Main.remove_object
* Scene.add_object
* Scene.remove_object
* Object.convert_to_triface
* Object.create_preview_mesh
- a small tweak in set_mesh (blenkernel/inter/mesh.c) to make it work on objects having data == NULL
* Added optional params to Object.create_render_mesh(apply_matrix, custom_matrix)
apply_matrix is a boolean, True to transform mesh by ob->obmat or custom_matrix if given
* Fix subtle error in Object.create_dupli_list
* Make RNA struct funcs static, hopefully didn't miss any
Ignore export_obj-2.5.py changes for now ;)
Merging changes made by Arystanbek in the soc-2009-kazanbas branch,
plus some things modified and added by me.
* The API files now all in the makesrna module, convention is to
call them e.g. rna_mesh_api.c for rna_mesh.c. Note for visual
studio build maintainers, the rna_*_api.c files are compiled as
part of "makesrna", but do not have rna_*_gen.c generated as part
of the library. SCons/cmake/make were updated.
* Added function flags FUNC_USE_CONTEXT and FUNC_USE_REPORTS, to
allow RNA functions to get context and error reporting parameters
optionally. Renamed FUNC_TYPESTATIC to FUNC_NO_SELF.
* RNA collections now have a pointer to add/remove FunctionRNA's, this
isn't actually used anywhere yet, purpose is to make an alias
main.meshes.add() for main.add_mesh() in python.
* Fixes to make autogenerating property set/get for multidimensional
arrays work, though a 4x4 matrix will be exposed as a length 16
one dimensional RNA array.
* Functions and properties added:
* Main.add_mesh()
* Main.remove_mesh()
* Object.matrix
* Object.create_render_mesh()
* WindowManager.add_fileselect()
