Blender Git Commits

this one bothered Basse here at Orange: NLA snap strip to frame missed snapping the end part, was just a line missing.

One visit to studio orange, and voila a todo list!

- bug: posemode, bones were drawing names and axes even when hidden
- bug: using softbody guides actually worked on themselves, causing
an infinite loop
- feature: when a pose/bone is completely locked for transform, a grab
will change into rotate by default.

Fix for bug #3414 provided by Lewis Saunders.

It appears that removing the 'int level' field from the
MemHead struct caused alignment issues for gcc builds of blender
on Irix (zr, who removed this field, commented that this problem
might occur, and sure enough it did happen). I've renamed the
field from 'level' to 'pad' to reflect that it has no meaning
beyond addressing alignment issues.

Bug in SoftBody for Curve/Surface: in some cases the edge spring array was
not initialized, like when adding a SoftBody to Object in EditMode.

Another Orange sneak-in feature: SoftBody support for Curves & Surfaces.

Well, it already worked a bit, but without weight options or edge
stiffness. You now can set the weights using the "Properties" Panel in
the 3D Window (allows multiple selections too) or with Wkey in Edit Mode.
Bezier curves have this too.

NOTE: Lattice SoftBody Goal created yesterday won't work anymore!
I've had to recode weight support for Nurbs Points, using a new weight
variable... this because the existing W variable was in use for Nurbs
already. Also Lattices have this new Weight variable, so the code is nice
uniform. Sorry for the artists who already created complex Lattices... :)

NOTE2: Surface Objects don't support edge stiffness yet

NOTE3: I've removed ancient screen coordinates from the Bezier struct,
which makes - even with added weight and padding - the struct smaller!

-- fix documentation error (replace removeCurve() with delCurve())

Bug reported by Bassam:

Influence for "Rot" option in IK constraint didn't work correct
in some cases.

some more msvc6 magic

adding some msvc6 magic to bullet part 2

adding some msvc6 magic to bullet part 1

Special Orange request; support for SoftBody Goal weights for Lattices.
Animating detailed clothes with softbody becomes messy, so now we'll
try it this way. :)

It simply uses the W (weight) value, as already available in each Lattice
Point. Only had to make it editable;

- NKey panel
- or press W in editmode

Further there's a minimalistic W button in the softbody Panel!

Added stepsize option for Pose ghosting draw. Patch provided by Roland
Hess.

In a comment on maillist I already mentioned a weird 0.5 in the code,
which I added to ensure correct rounding to integer frame numbers.
With a variable step size however, this won't work properly. You could
see it in the patch, because the ghost steps were animating.... they
should remain frozen, looks much nicer then. So I've added some fmod
voodoo here.

-- fix bug in constant_repr() which printed the final key twice

Mirror modifier with "do clipping" set crashed in transform when no
td->loc was set (like for crease).

Fix for #3409

Vertex-parenting a forcefield to a softbody caused eternal loop :)
It is partially because of the timing system (=weak) but actually also
because derivedmesh calls could also not build meshes all the time!

Error in local constraint option; the rotation correction for it was
accumulating, so constraint worked on top of previous position, giving
jumping around in cases.

Added a slider to control camera passepartout darkness in camera edit buttons.

New Constraint option for Pose: "Local" Copy Location/Rotation.

The locality is restricted to action or user-transform only. Or as it goes
in the code now: by setting a constraint local, it executes the constraint
before it calculates the influence of Action or user transforms.

ALso note that this works in Evil Eulerians. Meaning that when you only
want to copy the X,Y or Z compenent of a euler, it can give unpredictable
results when the other euler values are set, this because euler axis
rotations work on top of each other.

Revision of NLA stride option.

Previously, using the "Stride Bone" tried to get that Bone motionless on
the path by correcting the internal time of the Action. This however caused
too many problems, especially with irregular walks.

The new system also tries to keep the Stride Bone motionless, but this by
moving the entire armature, and not changing the timing of the Action.
Give much nicer results. :)

To make editing Strides easier, I've added a new option in the NLA
panel to disable the path. This way you can quickly switch to editing the
action itself (keying the stride bone) and viewing the result.

- point constructor
* added a constructor for the point class to mathutils
