previous fix unintentionally made linking groups also add objects to the scene,
tested this more throughly, its ensured only to run on append and not to conflict with group linking/appending.
Linking in groups also ended up adding those objects to the current
scene that we're linking the group in to. This is a regression. It
leads to more work (and/or confusion) from animators when just trying
to get a character into a shot file to start animating it (see my
notes on my blog for the proper workflow regarding this).
Reverting r36762, which caused this mess.
- when saving blend file with 'Remap Relative' enabled, don't try make paths absolute if the internal filename is invalid.
- use case insensitive path comparison on windows when checking if path remapping is needed & for comparing next/prev dirs in the file selector.
- rename 'name', 'dir' --> 'filepath' where these actually represent a file path to avoid confusion.
- bugfix for possible (but unlikely) uninitialized string.
- remove commented script append function, now we have a python api for this.
The main purpose for this is to allow rendering motion blurred blender fluids in external renderers (eg. http://vimeo.com/21870635 ).
Python code snippet for interpreting this data here: http://www.pasteall.org/21577 . Cleaned up some ugly hacks in this area too
* Also added read-only access to scene.subframe to RNA - setting current frame and subframe should still go via scene.frame_set()
simple modifier, almost like a hook, except it can deform with 2 object source -> target, has option to preserve rotation and use different falloff types.
Made some improvements to the point density texture. Added support
for tweaking the falloff with a custom curve. Also coded new
falloff types based on the age or velocity of particles.
Also added a test break check to the volumetric shade cache code,
to avoid nasty hangups from the preview render (on render, exit,
etc).
Actions now get tagged with an ID-code, which is used to determine
what ID-blocks they can be assigned to. This ensures that material
actions cannot be assigned to the object-level for example.
* Action lists in general will now show only the actions that can be
set for that particular slot. This prevents selection of invalid
actions, and helps cut down the list of actions.
** An exception here is the Add Action Clip in NLA Editor, which will
show all actions but will only add where appropriate. This is because
it's not easy/possible to tell in advance which blocktypes to filter
for when building this list. (TODO?)
* The "Action Editor" is now strictly for object-level action
editing+setting now. This avoids repeateded confusion by people who
try using this to view their shapekey actions, which should go to the
Shape Key Editor instead!
** A context switcher for the legitimate times where this capability
might come in handy is still being investigated.
* "Floating" actions (i.e. actions in some action_library.blend) are
NOT able to be automatically tagged until they are assigned to some
datablocks (i.e. loaded onto the rig + played back once). It is
possible to write scripts that check for certain RNA-paths and "guess"
what datablocks they work on, but it is recommended that you load up
the Datablocks Viewer, and go through such actions by hand, setting
the "ID Root Type" property as appropriate per action.
on smooth/flat flag on faces. This does give better results for low poly
game models, but there's just too much functionality that depends on this
(modifiers, displacey, editmode tools, extrude, ...), that there's not
enough time to fix these before the release.
