with Ton on IRC. This feature was old, something of a hack and didn't really
work well with the modifier stack. To paraphrase Ton: We want to make blender
higher quality, so poorly thought out code should be removed, or replaced
with decent implementations.
- Unitialized variable in new shadow code caused Sun lamp shadow to not
work.
- Ipo handle bug: when the handle was vertical it flipped around
- Loop select: unitialized variable caused it to work unpredictable in
cases. Also found an unitialized var in collaps_edgeuvs().
- Crash, caused by commit of 1 hour ago to fix 'All Z' render problem
- Bug: yesterday's fix for node material renders caused some issues with
precalculating correct shadow.
- Composite Translate node: input sockets allowed multiple inputs
Now it is possible to 'protect' action channels and constraint channels.
* When a channel is 'protected', the only operation possible on keyframes
is selection. All other operations are not able to be performed.
* The padlock to the right of each channel's name toggles the protection
status of that channel. You can only alter the protection status of one
channel at a time.
Todos:
* Menus still pop up when trying to do stuff to keyframes even if
all the keyframes selected are from protected channels.
* Shapekey channels shown in action editor should also get locks
This is the last of the changes needed to support all the EditMesh data that
previously worked only with the regular Mesh, so this should fix bug #5331,
Various problems with Editmode Undo and Multi-Resolution Meshes.
- from all selected nodes
- only connections between highest order socket types; so if there's RGBA
and Value sockets, only RGBA sockets are connected. This because in
these cases the Value sockets usually are for user input.
Example: Mix node.
Thanks Trip for the hint!
- Blur nodes didn't accept RGB buffers (only RGBA or single channel ones)
- Mix node had maximum for 'mix' on 1.0, for passes edit that could become
more, made it 5!
This commit upgrades the modifier stack to only calculate the data which is
needed, either by modifiers further down the stack or by other functions at
the end of the stack (e.g. drawing functions).
This speeds up modifier stack recalculation, especially where vertex
groups and UV coordinates are concerned. For example, a mesh with an Armature
modifier followed by a Subsurf modifier would previously have required the
Subsurf modifier to interpolate all the vertex groups in the mesh, slowing
down modifier calculations considerably. With this update, vertex group data
is not propagated beyond the Armature modifier, so calculations are faster.
Note that this depends on the order of modifiers in the stack. If the Armature
and Subsurf modifiers were swapped in the above example, the Subsurf modifier
would have to interpolate vertex groups, as they are needed by the Armature
modifier.
* Now it is possible to invert the selection status of keyframes and markers.
These options can only be found in the Select menu in the header.
* It is also possible to select the keyframes that occur within the 2
'extreme' selected markers. Hotkey for this is Ctrl K
Now it is possible to column select keyframes that occur on the
same frame as selected markers with the hotkey: SHIFT K
More selection goodies to come :-)
Cleaned-up drawing code of keyframes. Code redundancy has been
reduced, and there should be slight performance gains (less looping,
no sorting of keys needed, possibly less memory usage).
Now, when auto-keyframing, there is the option to have 'cleaner'
ipo curves. This is a user-pref option, and is based on the same
code responsible for the 'Only Needed' keyframing mode.
* Bugfix for Nicholas Bishop's recent sculptmode hotkeys:
When entering text in a text object, hotkeys were not disabled,
eg. type n = floating panel appears press 2 = layer 2 becomes visable.
Was 'if' instead of 'else if'
Reported by mfoxdogg on cvs.
Fixed an off by one error in Speed Controller.
If no IPO is present, enlarging the strip will now "stretch" time.
Shrinking doesn't work right now because of stripdata-handling...
using the standard drawing functions. Enabling the "Partial Redraw" item in the
sculpt menu will turn on the optimizations which stores unmodified parts of the
color buffer and only redraws the polygons that are within the modified area(s).
The Partial Redraw option uses the accumulation buffer to store the copy, and
unfortunately this is not accelerated on older cards. There are alternatives,
e.g. drawing to an auxiliary buffer or downloading the data from the graphics
card with glReadPixels, but there's no guarantee that these will run at an
acceptable speed on older graphics cards either. For the cards that do
accelerate the accumulation buffer (for nvidia cards, I would assume that is at
least FX5200 and up, and maybe earlier) it provides a very significant speedup.
BPy conventions were not being followed for PyObject_New;
now they are. I still doubt the usefullness of doing this,
however its important to maintain module standards.
Which reminds me, anyone know where I can get that source code
prettier that was used on the api files? It was kindof
hard following the coding style of bpy with it being so
different from normal blender, and also what with having
to write the IDProperty code from scratch. :)

As recommended on bf-committers, I created an entirely separate section for
sculptmode hotkeys, so none of the standard hotkeys in space.c carry over.
(However, the standard hotkeys in toets.c are left unchanged.)
There are probably some useful hotkeys that have been disabled with this commit,
and other hotkeys that still need to be added, so this needs review.
