* fix two typos in RenderLayer API (renderosiy -> renderosity in two places. Will break .py's saved with render_save_layers.py, just fix passRadiosiy and passRadiosiyXOR)
* add some docs on RenderLayer API
* fix some copy/paste leftover in render_save_layers.py
needed to add a small value to the baking distance for it to include faces of that distance (maybe should make this happen from the user interface too)
could be 0, hanging yafray. This commits removes the separate yafray
number of processor setting and simply using the blender threads
button, there is no reason for a separate setting.
----------
Added RenderData.activeLayer attribute, lets user access the active
rendering layer. Also corrected description of RenderData.freeImages
attribute.
Note: doesn't seem like there is any support in the python API for accessing
the renderlayers settings....
----------
Document Peter's fps_base attribute for scene rendering objects; also remove
framesPerSecBase() method (preference is to add only attributes, and he did
add fps_base attribute).
3ds_import - added option to disable recursive image searching (could be slow somtimes)
export_obj - when making group/object names only use both object and mesh name when they differ.
weightpaint_clean, weightpaint_grow_shrink - minor updates.
Render.py - own error in epydocs.
Second pass at sceneRender.c / Scene.Render API clean-up. Most of the remaining clean-up needs to wait for the API refactor, since the "good" attribute names are already used by methods.
- added documentation to Render - saveRenderedImage has an option to save the zbuffer along with the image
(off by default)
- fixed a really annoying runtime error of uninitialized data being passed to a method in pipeline.c during a render
- update for the old mathutils rewrite
- update for some other methods ive added
- added explaination of wrapped data
- added a .css file for epydoc gives nice blender/python colors :?
Scripts:
- Thanks Jean-Michel Soler (jms) for updated versions of dispaint, fixfromarmature and unweld (also renamed to remove version part).
- Thanks Bart for the upgraded VRML exporter (great doc webpage!). It is available as VRML 97 and the original VRML 2 is for now still there, to help users testing the new version. For the next release the old one should be removed, of course.
- New script: Scripts Config Editor (Scripts win -> Scripts -> System). Scripts with config options (simple data that is to be set according to user needs or preferences) can use this facility instead of providing a gui and writing config files to disk themselves.
- Added new menu: System, available in the Scripts win.
- Updated sys_info.py, help_browse.py and the AC3D importer and exporter.
- Removed use of the Scrollbar and added arrow keys and mouse wheel support instead in Daniel Dunbar's old doc_browser.py. The scrollbar events handling doesn't exist, Ton suggested removing the scrollbar from the API months ago. For now its ref doc is gone and no bundled script uses it, until we get time to implement it properly.
- Added module BPyRegistry.py with functions to handle reading / writing config files automatically to the scripts/bpydata/config dir.
- Removing dir release/bpydata and its contents (moved earlier to release/scripts/bpydata/)
- Bug #2379: made small changes to bevel_center's ui to fix a problem reported by Alexander Ewering (intrr):
http://projects.blender.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=125&aid=2379&group_id=9
BPython:
- Thanks Campbell Barton for new functionality: Blender.Get() now can also return all the paths from the user prefs -> file paths win and there is a new function: Blender.sys.expandpath() to transform Blender paths (those starting with '//' and ending with '#') to absolute paths.
- Added function Blender.ShowHelp(), to open the Scripts Help Browser with a given help page -- just a time saver for scripts.
- Improved function Blender.Run() to also work with gui and file select scripts.
- Found a (new?) crash related to NMesh.PutRaw when creating a new object while in edit mode. Leaving / entering edit mode fixes the problem, so a check for obj created, edit mode and leaving / re-entering it were added to the code for now (gdb didn't help much, no backtrace)
- doc updates, including splitting intro page in two, with bpython related stuff (registering / documenting / configuring scripts and command line mode (thanks Chris Want for "use system variables to pass parameters to scripts" idea).
- Registry: functions have been updated to support writing to / reading from disk, for the config editor -- only simple config data supported, for large amounts coders should write to a file themselves. This is done with a new parameter: Registry.GetKey(keyname, True) will also search for the key on the config dir, if not already loaded; equiv. for Registry.SetKey(keyname, dict, True). Data is only written to / read from disk when needed and only scripts already used (assuming they support this functionality) will have config data saved.
- Added function Blender.Save(filename) to save .blend files.
- Added scriptlink-related methods (get, clear, add) to Scene and Materials. Will still add method remove and add these methods to World, Object, Camera and Lamp.
- Updates and small fixes in docs.
