* Baked normal particles can now use the "Path" visualization. * Path "max length" & "abs length" are now history: - New option to set path start & end times + random variation to length. - Much more flexible (and calculated better) than previous options. - This works with parents, children, hair & normal particles unlike old length option. - Only known issue for now is that children from faces don't get calculated correctly when using path start time. * New option "trails" for "halo", "line" and "billboard" visualizations: - Draws user controllable number of particle instances along particles path backwards from current position. - Works with children too for cool/weird visualizations that weren't possible before. * Normal particle children's velocities are now approximated better when needed so that "line" visualization trails will look nice. * New particle instance modifier options: - "path"-option works better and has controllable (max)position along path (with random variation possible). - "keep shape"-option for hair, keyed, or baked particles allows to place the instances to a single point (with random variation possible) along particle path. - "axis" option to make rotation handling better (still not perfect, but will have to do for now). Some fixes & cleanup done along the way: * Random path length didn't work for non-child particles. * Cached & unborn particles weren't reset to emit locations. * Particle numbers weren't drawn in the correct place. * Setting proper render & draw visualizations was lost somewhere when initializing new particle settings. * Changing child mode wasn't working correctly. * Some cleanup & modularization of particle child effector code and particle drawing & rendering code. * Object & group visualizations didn't work. * Child simplification didn't work.
