All sculpting used to disappear before. Save MDISPS if new mesh has got the same faces amount.
NOTE: maybe some other layers should be saved?
- Apply multires modififier if MDISPS was auto-created.
Multires's applyModifier used to return unchanged DM when MDISPS was auto-created.
- Set multires totlvl from MDISPS layer when new multires was added to mesh with existing MDISPS layer.
* When removing a modifier that effects the depsgraph the DAG_scene_sort has to be done after the update call so that dynamic systems can clear the collision surface properly.
* Although not strictly a bug it is the expected behavior and won't mess anything else up.
* Note: the lattice is applied to the actual hair keys instead of the calculated strands so the applied result will differ a bit from the original.
path -> filepath (for rna and operators, as agreed on with elubie)
path -> data_path (for windowmanager context functions, this was alredy used in many places)
- added relative option to saving external multires data
- renamed multires external functiosn to have save / pack as suffix.
- added TODO's for file select operators that should support relative paths but dont.
- also disable openmp on linux cross compile, mingw currently isnt linking -lgomp
Made texture/texture slot context a bit less flaky when dealing with active material and
texture nodes inside a node material in the node editor. Now if the active material has
nodes enabled, and there are no active material/texture nodes inside it, nothing will be
shown in the texture properties (similar to 2.49).
Previously all modifier operators relied on the buttons layout data context pointer to
decide which modifier to work on. This meant that these operators would only work
from from the properties panel, and not from scripting/macros or for operator redo.
This commit makes all modifier operators take the modifier name as an operator
property, so the operators can be re-done or executed outside of the modifier panel.
When invoking the operators from the modifier panel, they automatically fill in the
operator property from context.
This isn't a perfect API design, but it does bring these operators in line with the design
of being able to access all UI functionality via other means like scripts.
multires modifier if both are in the stack (patch #21965)
This patch also removes limitation of multires reshaping when
destination object has got modifiers after multires modifier.
Only source/blender/editors/ dir, should not give errors on different platforms
Only removing: UI_*.h, ED_*.h, WM_*.h, DNA_*.h, IMB_*.h, RNA_*.h, PIL_*.h
Used approach with creating DerivedMesh for curves whet they've got such modifiers.
Available modifiers are: array, edge split, mirror, solidify, subsurf.
The 'save over' popup was only appearing based on a string comparison of the operator name ("Save"). Changed this to use a hidden operator property: "check_existing". Python operators must
have this property for the file selector confirmation too.
This property can also be set to false, to prevent checking for existing files, useful in the File->Save menu item to prevent the dangerously missable confirmation popup.
this is too arbitrary and could break if roperty order is changed.
store the property in the operator type that is to be used for menu and enum search func's.
python function for searching operator enums on invoke. (just need dynamic python enums now)

* added renamed files in revision 25337
* renamed BLI_util.h -> BLI_path_util.h for consistency
* cleanup of #includes: removed BLI_blenlib.h in favour of direct includes of the needed headerfiles in a few places.
* removed debug print in sequencer.c
* added missing include in blenkernel/blender.c -> bad dependency, needs to be fixed still
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.
Did a lot of cleaning Object operator poll functions to check if the object's linked
or not. For this, added the function ED_operator_object_active_editable() as
opposed to ED_operator_object_active()
* Now support a Surface mode next to the existing Volume mode. This binds
the mesh to the cage mesh surface rather than it's volume.
* Implemented reusing the bone heat weighting code.
* Advantage is that it works for cage meshes that are not volumes and that
binding is much faster.
* Weak point is that disconnected components of a mesh are not guaranteed
to stick together (same problem exists with bone heat weighting).
* Bind weights could still be compressed better to use less memory.

Available in object mode (Object -> Join as Shapes), only works for meshes at
the present. Will merge all selected objects as shape keys on the active object,
if the vertex count is the same.
This does not keep references to the external objects like in some applications,
rather it's a quick way to update the shapes on the active object (perhaps after
importing new versions from external applications).
* Displacement coordinates are now stored differently, as a grid per
face corner. This means there is duplication of coordinates, especially
at low subdivision levels, but the simpler implementation justifies it
I think.
* ToDo: conversion of existing multires files (2.4x or 2.5x), loading them
may even crash now.
* Editmode preservation/interpolation code also has not been updated yet.
* Multires now works on the CCGDerivedMesh grids instead of CDDerivedMesh,
which should be more memory efficient.
* There are still bad memory peaks (if you're using 32bit) when subdividing
or propagating displacements. Though at least there should be no huge
memory blocks allocated, which windows is now to have trouble with.
* Still found some weird spike artifacts at lower multires levels, some also
happening before this commit. Perhaps computation of tangents needs to be
tweaked more.
* Multires modifier now has viewport, sculpt and render levels. Also the
levels have been made consistent with subsurf, previously the same level
of subdivision was one less for multires.
* Both multires and subsurf modifier now can have their subdivision level
set to 0 for no subdivision.
Rather than applying the modifier to the object data, it will create a new shape
with the deformed vertices in there. Only mesh at the moment, other object
types on the todo.
Parenting an object to some deformer (i.e. Armature, Curve, Lattice) now adds a new modifier if the object is deformable.
The advantages of this over setting PAR_SKEL mode are:
- instead of a hidden 'virtual' modifier, the user has direct feedback about what sort of modifier is being applied to deform
- most of the time in 2.4, whenever a virtual modifier was added, users would inevitably end up clicking "Make Real" on it
Of course, it's still possible to get 'virtual' modifiers by setting the parent type using the menu-property, but this just makes general setup easier.
Now shares the same operators as the modifier buttons, works context-sensitive, and uses Python menu too.
