* Restored Center View to 3D Cursor. For now, I've mapped this to QKEY since all other nice combinations of CKEY have been taken now.
* Fixed bug introduced in commit last night where parenting lattice to armatures with deforms would no longer work.
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.
* Convert all code to use new functions.
* Branch maintainers may want to skip this commit, and run this
conversion script instead, if they use a lot of math functions
in new code:
http://www.pasteall.org/9052/python
- split into 2 operators: object.make_links_data() & object.make_links_scene since they are quite different.
- added reusable functions RNA_group_itemf & RNA_scene_itemf which can be used for any operator that takes ID data (easy to add more types Mesh, Text etc)
- DummyRNA_NULL_items for dynamic items so each operator need not define its own empty enum.
* There's an unresolved error in transform_conversions.c which I've flagged in this commit. I'm not quite sure what the exact intentions of that code were (i.e. was the "void_pointer = 1" really intended)
I've made this a separate operator to Make Parent, since the two were signficantly different (this version only works for Objects, and doesn't care about other types of parenting).
* Path Constraint option (i.e. this creates a follow-path constraint but doesn't actually parent the object to the curve) works now. Fixed a crash here too.
* Follow Path option (i.e. parent the object to the curve, and follow it), is not working correctly yet. Some matrix seems to get set wrongly.
* Updating Preview Range settings results in correct updates for Animation Editors
* Compositing nodes now correctly animate when the values were set by IKEY/RMB on suitable node parameters. Beware that these nodes are not relinkable node-trees, hence the standard code not working.
* Ctrl-P to parent objects to bones now works in Pose Mode too. I needed to add a special keymap entry for this, though I thought this would have been better to be automatically inherited/present from Object keymap already?
* Ctrl-P -> Parent to Bone option now works correctly again. 1.5 lines of code missing here...
* Breakdowns tool now shows custom cursor during 'modal' phase so that it's not that confusing what's going on.
* Added RNA subtype for layers.
* Shift-click works again.
* uiItemR can now also handle armature/bone layers.
* Also makes Move to Layer popup work as expected.
* Split object_edit.c into multiple files:
object_add.c, object_edit.c, object_hook.c, object_relations.c,
object_select.c, object_transform.c.
* Rename files to have consistent object_ and mball_ prefix:
object_shapekey.c, object_lattice.c, object_vgroup.c, mball_edit.c.
* Added operators:
* vertex group menu and set active
* apply location, rotation, scale, visual transform (location is new)
* make local
* make vertex parent
* move to layer
* convert to curve/mesh (not finished yet)
* Many small fixes for marked issues, but still much code to be cleaned
up here...
