do_versions fix: hd audio tracks within metastrips were not properly
upgraded from 2.49 files, resulting in broken unusable tracks, which were
rendered as black strips as a bonus.
This prevents access to non-existent typeinfo during type initialization,
when node types have been removed and such nodes are deleted from older files.
All blenkernel functions now only set the node->update flag instead of directly
calling the update function. All operators, etc. calling blenkernel functions
to modify nodes should make a ntreeUpdate call afterward (they already did that
anyway).
Editor/RNA/renderer/etc. high-level functions still can do immediate updates by
using nodeUpdate and nodeUpdateID (replacing NodeTagChanged/NodeTagIDChanged
respectively). These old functions were previously used only for setting
compositor node needexec flags and clearing cached data, but have become generic
update functions that require type-specific functionality (i.e. a valid typeinfo
struct).
- added API examples for mathutils.Color/Euler/Quaternion/Matrix.
- corrected own bad spelling matricies --> matrices.
- minor pep8 edits.
- update CMake ignore file list.
There has been quite a bit of fuss about particle dupliobject rotation in 2.59, so here are some changes to make things work a bit more consistently and predictably in 2.60.
Much of the confusion has been about what the "Initial rotation" for particles actually means. Simply put it's just a vector that that the particles (and the dupliobjects) are aligned to and around which they can be rotated with the phase controls. I've now renamed these controls under a label "Rotation axis".
In 2.59 and previous versions the dupliobject's global x-axis was aligned to the particle rotation axis for non-hair particles. This meant that the object's own rotation (in addition to the particle rotation) could effect the dupliobjects' rotations. This old behavior can still be used with the "Rotation" option in the particle render panel when object/group is set as the visualization. This option is also activated automatically for old files to maintain backwards compatibility.
Now the default dupliobject rotations ignore the object's own rotation completely and align the object's tracking axis to the particle rotation axis. The tracking axis can be found under the Object tab -> Animation Hacks panel.
In 2.58 the way of calculating the rotation for hair didn't work as intended and enabled many non-functional combinations of options. For this reason I removed most of the rotation options for hair in 2.59. Now the options have been reimplemented better and the dupliobject's tracking axis is aligned to the hair direction by default (Rotation axis = Velocity / Hair). All the other axis options work too along with the phase controls.
- cmake/windows was installing locale & font when internationalization was disabled, twice when enabled.
- file selector was using the string size-1, where this isn't needed since string buttons expected this value to be the sizeof(), accounting for '\0'.
- use const char for extension checking funcs.
- minor pep8 edits
The cause is an unknown node socket type in node groups. Ideally the node system
should handle this better and remove the unknown sockets from groups, but this
is a bit of a risky fix to do now, so instead the shader socket type has been
added, since this is a simple change and the code has been tested well.
It helped to make things works better for some movies but it
didn't help proxies to work properly. Correct fix seems a bit larger
and better not be made atm, so to keep behavior of proxies and
original movie consistent keep resolution behaves like it was before
recent changes,
