* Added a User-Pref option for the "XYZ to RGB" colour-mode setting for new F-Curves to compliment the one used for Keying Sets. With this option enabled, the builtin Keying Sets also can obey this option.
* Made all places that were previously manually checking the flags for keyframing to use a standard API function to do this now.
* Fixed bug introduced earlier today in commit 25353 by reverting the changes to keyingsets.c. Forgot that delete_keyframe doesn't handle do the "entire array" hack with array_index = -1
* Fixed bug with the insert-keyframe code for the array_index = -1 case, where too many channels were being keyed (i.e. an imaginary channel was often keyed in addition to the valid ones)
Also put a bit more logic for guessing player paths based on my system.
If anyone can make this a bit more clever/bulletproof, please feel free to
get involved in it, it's all python!
On ubuntu/debian install these tools...
sudo apt-get install pylint pyflakes python-setuptools python-pip
sudo pip install pep8
then run from blenders source dir...
python release/test/pep8.py
This searches for the comments "# <pep8 compliant>" and "# <pep8-80 compliant>", running the checking tools on these scripts only.
* some minor pep8 corrections too.
Removed the Start/End Settings and the effect_fader from the sequencer transform strip.
The transform strip can now only be animated directly by keying the Scale X, Scale Y, Translate X, Translate Y and Rotation values.
Caveat:
The uniform scale re-uses the Scale X value, so when changing the animation on Scale X in the non-uniform scaling case, the uniform scaling will be affected too. This was done to not break files for Durian.
Note:
As much as I would have liked to clean up the TransformVars, it caused crashes of earlier versions of blender when opening the file.
The rna identifiers were also kept as to not break any existing animation on those keys.
* optional default blend argument, use for better leg & arm defaults
* way to define arbitrary options for bones that can then be passed to the generator function, only used to set elbow target parent at the moment.
http://www.blender.org/development/release-logs/blender-250/sculpt-and-multiresolution/
Release logs are work in progress, also check missing items on that
page, there's still a few things that need work.
Quick summary of the changes:
* Use BVH for optimizing sculpt mode, doing only editing and updates
on nearby nodes.
* Memory reduction by use of CCG grids for subsurf, own undo stack,
no vertex-face map, no origindex, .. .
* Multithreading for sculpting, multires, and subsurf.
* Optional external file storage for multires displacements.
* Various tweaks to brush behavior.
* Made the TimeLine current frame indicator get drawn using the standard frame-indicator code. Also, it is now possible to show the frame indicator box beside the line as in the other animation editors, although this is disabled in the timeline due to the closeness of the frame number field.
* Removed some old (unnecessary) code
-> "Continue Physics" option in TimeLine, which is now obsolete with the current physics options. Feel free to restore if this is not the case.
-> Already commented out hacks to create "speed ipo" for curves. There are easy alternatives that are better integrated.
-> Unused init/exit callbacks for scrubbing time, since those were only used to set an obsolete flag for timeline drawing that is now used for the indicator.
* Switched long-keyframe optimisation code to use constants instead of some magic numbers + fancy trickery...
customisable player.
You can choose a player in User Preferences -> File Paths. You can
choose a plan custom command line, otherwise there are presets available
for the Blender 2.4 player or DJV (where it will give it the correct filename,
fps, etc on the command line). So for example if you have a Blender 2.4
version installed, you can enter the path to the blender 2.4 executable,
and the playback will work just like before.
Any info on other frame players (FrameCycler? pdplayer?) and their
command line settings could be useful for adding some more presets too,
if anyone knows of them.
It's available in Render->Play Rendered Animation (Ctrl F11)
[#20336] Missing notifier - properties view does not update on UV unwrap
[#20337] Shift select is not working in UV-editor island mode
[#20338] Update automatically menu item has strange icon behavior
[#20339] Select all will quit working in UV editor
Revised external multires file saving. Now it is more manual in that you
have to specify where to save it, like an image file, but still saved at
the same time as the .blend. It would ideally be automatic, but this is
difficult to implement, so for now this should at least be more reliable.
Added option to KeyingSets+Keyframing Functions which makes newly added F-Curves for Transforms + Colours to use the colour mode which uses the array index to determine the colour of the F-Curve.
The main implication of this is that when this option is enabled for a KeyingSet, all sets of XYZ F-Curves (i.e. location, rotation, scale) for transforms will be shown in Red/Green/Blue instead of some automatically determined "rainbow" colour. Useful for animators far too used to Maya's Graph Editor :P
This setting is named, "XYZ to RGB", though that doesn't make its purpose entirely clear.
* added default_fader to transform strip, since it used the old fac too.
* removed ANIMATEABLE attribute from the settings in the transform strip, since they are animated via the effect_fader and not directly for now. (too confusing)
* UI: only show default_fader for the effect strips that support it
Sequencer Durian feature: uniform scale for Sequence transform strip.
* for now re-using variable for x-axis scaling.
Note: This brings back functionality as close to 2.49 as possible. The Start and End values in the current design are not meant to be animated directly, but via the effect_fader.
