This adds a few settings to control global render quality, for faster
renders when tweaking lighting etc. The implementation is not so great,
and this should really be part of a proper render profile and preset
system. So for now it's a hidden Peach feature, enabled by setting rt
to 1. Before the next release, I'll either remove or improve it.
Settings are:
- Maximum subsurf level
- Child particles percentage
- Maximum shadow map samples
- AO and SSS quality factor
This is messy because the files can be left there when blender quits, however saveBuffers and sessions alredy do :/ Some cleanup function needs to Blender that deals with this!
- Material buttons code didn't set particles update flag
- Small change to how particle emit time is interpreted from textures, now the "time" texture output can actually be used for something
- Hair didn't update the visibility flag of each particle
- Changing the disp value gave a too strong update call to particles
- Changed disp value behavior for dynamic particles a bit, now all particles are always calculated for uncached frames so that every particle gets it's data cached. Now the disp value actually does what it's supposed to do, it alters the amount of particles DISPlayed in viewport, but doesn't change the simulations. (With old particles it was possible to only calculate the disp amount of particles too as everything was always recalculated from scratch anyways, but now that particles are more complicated and cached etc. it's not an option anymore.)
-softbody BodyPoint indexes were created with a lag of one leading to use of wrong softbody points for particles when creating path cache
-interpolation points for softbody hair weren't chosen optimally when not yet at the end of a hair
Bone extension string was not long enough for new extensions .bot and .top. This was surely causing some stack memory to be overwritten...
Warning reported by JMS on french newsgroup.
only becomes correct after a frame change. This also caused errors in
vector blur with strands. Cause was the BONE_UNKEYED flag, which is
not valid anymore after file read with proxies, and should be cleared.
1) Trying to bring back compatibility with Python2.3.
2) Adding some stubs to compile blender player again on linux.
Please tell me if Blender still doesn't compile with py 2.3 or if the player isn't compiling. There was a binreloc related stub I needed to add, so probably the player wasn't compiling before the pynodes commit.
Thanks PanzerMKZ for reporting and testing part of the fix to py 2.3.
* Optimised transform constraint a bit
* PyConstraints now show the script-selection menu correctly when a new constraint is added (i.e. it now displays the correct initial value).
Also made rem_from_group return if it removed the object which save some looping.
Added a node in the blender help message that background mode dosnt load the .B.blend file as a bug was reported recently because of this.
Added a new brush option, "Anchored". When enabled, the brush doesn't move with the mouse, but rather stays in it's initial location and grows larger or smaller to follow the mouse. Good for brushing alphas on to the mesh. (Note that this option isn't available for the grab brush, and ignores the smooth stroke option.)
Fixes:
- Cloth event refactor to solve 2 unknown cache bugs
- Cloth vgroup refactor (faster + scalable stinnes now working)
- Cloth + Collision modifier on one object crash
- Editmode + faceextrude on baked cloth crash
- Stiffness groups would get pinned
- Correct scaled stiffness calculation
- Fixes freeing error under some circumstances
- Deactivating reset/cache freeing when in editmode
- Autobaking setting doesn't get screwed up anymore
- More than 1 collision object in a scene could explode
- Pinning + not protected cache didn't reset cloth
- Start simulation on first frame and not on 2nd
- Maximum structstiff now correct (copy-paste error)
- Loading file with baked cloth calculate the spring length correctly
- Loading file behaviour improved with cache
- Collision object is evaluated first (untested)
- Debug output activated with rt>0
Be carefull: Files with some cloth cache or something should be
regenerated.
