This patch cleans up the sequencer core by replacing the caching system
(TStripElems) with a hash based system, which is:
a) a lot faster
b) a lot more readable
c) a lot more memory conserving
The new caching system is also a good building ground for
a) sub frame precision rendering (even on scene strips)
b) multi core rendering (threaded rendering is still disabled, but can
be extended now to arbitrary core numbers)
I tested the code on an extensive editing session today and had no
crashes during 4 hours of editing. So I consider it very stable.
* Fix: unify strength and size did work consistently with other paint modes
* Fix: If [ and ] keys were used to resize a brush it was not possible to increase the size of the brush if it went under 10 pixels
* Fix: Made interpretation of brush size consistent across all modes, Texture/Image paint interpreted brush size as the diameter while all the other modes interpret it as radius
* Fix: The default spacing for vertex paint brushes was 3%, should be 10%
* Fix: due to fixes to unified strength, re-enabled 'Unify Size' by default
* Fix: Unified size and strength were stored in UserPrefs, moved this to ToolSettings
* Fix: The setting of pressure sensitivity was not unified when strength or size were unified. Now the appropriate pressure sensitivity setting is also unified across all brushes when corresponding unification option is selected
* Fix: When using [ and ] to resize the brush it didn't immediately redraw
* Fix: fkey resizing/"re-strength-ing" was not working consistently accross all paint modes due to only sculpt mode having full support for unified size and strength, now it works properly.
* Fix: other paint modes did expose the ability to have a custom brush colors, so I added the small bit of code to allow it. Note: I made all of the other paint mode brushes white. Note2: Actually, probably want to make the paint modes use the selected color for painting instead of a constant brush color.
* I had removed OPTYPE_REGISTER from some Sculpt/Paint operators but in this commit I add them back. I'm not completely sure what this option does so I don't want to disturb it for now.

First pass at post-merge stabilization. Seems to work well enough now, but
I need to do more testing. Also need to go through bmesh_class.h and make
sure the design/headers there make sense.
animation. Only allow this from main thread, opengl can't be called from
render threads. It was already disabled in background mode.
For now I'm going to consider this a limitation.
A number of UI elements were newly introduced to control line color, alpha
transparency and line thickness by means of base color/alpha/thickness plus
modifiers that alter the base values. To begin with, three basic modifiers
were prototyped with the aim of putting the new UI framework in practice
and evaluating if it works properly.
The Parameter Editor mode is still in a work-in-progress state and totally
useless from users' viewpoint.
Cutting effect strips (esp multicam) didn't free endstill tstripdata.
Doesn't sound like much of a problem, but those can get big on large
timelines. So every cut eating 3 MB of memory doesn't leave much room
for editing decisions :)
* Default icons can be selected from a menu
* Option to make a custom icon from a file is present but the UI is disabled because of a mysterious crash
* New startup.blend that has the appropriate icons selected
* First, try to load the file from the given filename. This is either absolute or relative to the current .blend
* If file is found using the given filename directly then look for the file in the datafiles/brushicons directory (local, user, or system).
* Note: This commit does not update the .blend to reference the default icons
* Note: This commit does not make sure that the build system copies the default icons to the 2.52/datafiles/brushicons directory
Bugfix: free_imbuf_seq() was closing IMB anim handles on nearly every
change of RNA variables. This can be *very* slow, if you twiddle with
parameters during playback. Especially multicam editing...
Now: we close IMB anim handles only on refresh_all() and filepath
changes.
- the length of a new text object wasnt set on creation.
- tex3d and controllers rna name was being set to its body (rather then ID name)
- remove reference to wave objects which are very old and not used anymore.
This commit and other commits attempting to fix it broke various things. The
main thing that changed was that instead of computing children/paths in
advance as part of particle_system_update, this was moved to do it just before
drawing or rendering. I've changed back that behavior and tried to keep the
other fixes in the commit.
When the new particle system was just committed, it also worked this way but
gave various problems, and I had to remove that behavior to get things working
stable. Basically it meant that you could get have a path cache that was
outdated in various situations, and it doesn't fit well with dependency graph
evaluation order.
This fixes:
#22823: Children Particle Rendering is broken
#22733: Particle objects not displayed
#22888: SigSegV when rending hair particles
#22820: Another SigSegV when undo adding hairs in particel edit mode
Some particle setups in dupligroups.
The three bugs that the original commit fixed are now also still working in
my tests:
#21316: Hair weight drawing is wrong
#21923: Consistent Crash When Rendering Particle Scene.
#21950: Path rendering option for particles causes crash
when both are off the behavior is unchanged.
This is needed when rendering alpha text so its possible to have a single layer of faces but use the bevel option to make text thicker.
adding a rim on the back when back is disabled also doesnt make much sense IMHO.
minor python edits too.
