- buttons "Show" and "Key" didn't set the active constraint, causing
confusement in display for the IpoWindow
Also made the backdrop for constraints and modifiers to use the Panel
theme color, making it better integrated.
unpredictable one!
This is what it did; if two or more Constraints are of the same type, it
accumulates the Target positions/rotations for the constraints, averages
them, and then only applies the last Constraint in the row. It seems to
be a trick to blend IK Constraints or so... in all other cases I cannot
find a good use for it (nor did Bassam).
For example; add three Empties, and make one Empty to have 2 location
constraints to the other two. This just didn't work, unless you insert
an "Empty" constraint inbetween.
I will post in the blender.org animation forum feedback for it too. :)
Its quite easy to make it an option, but I first like to grasp fully what
the actual use of such an option is.
for some configs. This was an old hack for sgi's, so I've put it behind an
ifdef for sgi and suns now.
Test if blender still works by switching screens, and check for the borders
between the blender area windows. These should draw all nice empty/black.
directory... so the slowdown was still evident!
Maintenance commit;
- *Giant* speedup for LMB frame-dragging in ipo/action/nla windows. It was
calling a routine that accessed frontbuffer drawing.... a very old patch
for SGIs even! :)
- Prepared code for support of unlimited Shape keys
- Curve objects didnt draw correct for selection-outline option
Thanks to testing in studio orange (thnx andy, matt!) I've found the
simple way to code it.
Static particle systems, when not set to wire or halo, now render 1 pixel
wide 'strands', which are actually just faces with vertexnormals and
proper orco texture. Check for quick fun;

(and rt6, rt7, rt8)
- should allow users to render a filename.extension to the render path
Example:
import Blender
s = Blender.Scene.GetCurrent()
r = s.getRenderingContext()
r.setRenderPath('C:\\')
r.render()
r.saveRenderedImage('myRender.jpg')
Blender.Scene.Render.CloseRenderWindow()

- Prepared code for support of unlimited Shape keys
- Curve objects didnt draw correct for selection-outline option
- adding new Shape didn't set correct Ipocurve code... so you could not
even add new curves
- the keylines (first channel) always came back in display... ancient error
User doc: http://www.blender3d.org/cms/Shape_Keys.678.0.html
- The mixed use of "Vertex Key","Key" or "RVK" in Blender was a bit
confusing. Also a 'vertex key' assumes keys per vertex, which actually is
only a single key for the entire shape. The discussions on blender.org
forums all mentioned "Shape" or "Blend Shapes", which I think is an OK
name for a "Vertex Key" in the UI. :)
- Most work was code spaghetti cleanup. Doing shape-keys now nicely goes
via the depgraph and DerivedMesh. That then allows to have different
shapes per object, with the new "Pin" feature.
Objects now define what Shape is shown (ob->shapenr)
- Added a Shape Panel in the Edit buttons with the various options
- Fixed a lot of issues in the IpoWindow, with drawing the channels.
For example, deleting a key-line there caused the entire Relative option to
go wrong, same for moving the lines up/down.
Changing key-line order now reflects in order of channels. The active
Shape is drawn more clear now too.
- Noticed it doesnt work yet for curves/lattice. Need modifier advise!
caused a myriad of other errors in tools... now you couldn't create a
triangle if one 1 edge was in a face already.
I should have known it should be coded differently. :)
So, here's another version, which actually restores the old code, and
only has the exception on pressing Fkey.
Hooks now support vertex groups. With weight painting it looks very
interesting. Almost z-painting! :) Try a sphere with all vertices in a
group, hook it, and scale empty in object mode a bit.

(Which gives the idea to make a Displace Modifier working with normals and
vertexgroups..)
Works as follows now; in Mesh editmode, when no vertices are selected, it
tries to assign on CTRL+H command the active Vertex Group. (Menu is getting
to long now... need to think over). Only works when vertices are assigned
to a Vertex Group, this to calculate the Hook center.
- Trackball rotate was missing the NoConstraints flag
- Zooming didn't recalculate the 2D center correctly
- Zooming in transform was sending event to the 3D window even when working on UVs. (disabled when working on UVs for now, will need to send events to a 2D window handler eventually)
- In camera mode, when the selection was exactly on the camera, initgrabz was barfing, fallback to 1.0 now, which gives ok results.
Grmble... and now the feature ALT+J 'join triangles' broke. :)
Also found out the Fkey option didn't work anymore on 2 triangles (makes 1
quad too). Luckily we got people testing eh!
Hrms... previous commit here to make sure faces are not added 'double',
caused a part in removedoubles not to work well, removing too many
faces. Solved it more proper now.
There we can find now Particles, Fields & deflectors, Soft Body and Fluids.
This also as preparation for more work on the particle side (becomes two
panels).
Also renamed panels, and made sure the name "Soft Body" is spelled every-
where the same!
It uses an icon as was designed long ago already. Needs some thinking...
by daniel before. :)
Note; the shaded display uses smooth normals by default, because thats how
the derived mesh works!
Daniel; I've changed the G_WEIGHTPAINT hack in derivedmesh code... no idea
how this could work even. Still ugly though.
Playback of sequencer sound crashed in combination with dupliverted
Objects. (confirmed in osx only btw).
Found out there's old not-needed code in the update_for_newframe() call,
that was intended to do updates for Manipulators (calling countall()).
In countall(), the entire duplilists were generated over, just for
counting the totals.
First step was removing the countall from update_for_newframe, and added
a count_duplilist() call which doesn't generate the full duplilist. That
made Blender not crashing anymore, but gives "Error totblock", without
printing the block names even...
The weird thing also was that the crash showed severe memory corruption in
the malloc library, when combining audio scrubbing (SDL) and duplilists.
I now suspect there's a remaining issue with DerivedMesh, but for that I
need help from Daniel.
(fixed shadowed variables warnings, removed cfgparser.hpp,
added cfgparser.h, removed debugging output)
- added support for env. var BLENDER_ELBEEMDEBUG to enable
debugging output again
- fixed missing triangle display (marching cubes produced v3=0 triangles)
- fixed geometry init bug (nearest intersection check
for intersecting objects was messed up)
- changed position of derived mesh creation in DerivedMesh.c
(for some reason the useDeform code is necessary, without it or
with useDeform=0 nothing is displayed)
- 3dviews now update every 2 seconds to show simulation progress
- note: mesh_strip_loose_faces(me); in ./source/blender/blenkernel/intern/mesh.c:937
not necessary anymore?
In Surface editmode, solid draw mode, curves are drawn in wire now
(where in invisible). Its a simple fix, it shouldn't give issues with
the Nurbana work. :)
For using the Fkey (add face) editmesh tool:
prevented triangles being made that are partially a quad face already.
Tools in editmode don't like such situations (tria->quad for example), also
subsurf hates it. :)
Excluded the 3D cursor from being clipped with the new ALT+B clipping.
Also added a refresh for the object that gets (Pkey) separated in mesh
editmode, might solve issue reported by Campbell.
