Ongoing updates to the Blender.Node Python API:
- Changed Blender.Node.node to Blender.Node.Scripted to be more specific and conform to bpython API.
- Added a Blender.Node.Socket type to be used to define node sockets in a PyNode script. Also, socket type is inferred from the value(s) passed in, instead of also being defined by the script author.
- Added attr access to input and output sockets in the __call__ method. Ex: an input socket called 'color' can be accessed as self.input.color now.
These changes break existing pynode scripts, which shouldn't be a problem yet, of course, since we're still finishing this feature for 2.46. The wiki page and sample .blends have already been updated:

Removing the stub I added for a binreloc function. Here for some reason it's needed (somehow binreloc is not being included ?) or the player won't link, but for others (at least on 64 bit systems) the opposite happens.
Thanks Chris Want for the feedback to the commit where I tested this.
|
|
1) Trying to bring back compatibility with Python2.3.
2) Adding some stubs to compile blender player again on linux.
Please tell me if Blender still doesn't compile with py 2.3 or if the player isn't compiling. There was a binreloc related stub I needed to add, so probably the player wasn't compiling before the pynodes commit.
Thanks PanzerMKZ for reporting and testing part of the fix to py 2.3.

Fixed bad level calls in sculptmode.
|
|
Cleaned up bad level calls for multires; moved most of multires functions to blenkern, where they should have been in the first place. Functionality of the tool is unchanged.
|
|
Applying Stephan Kassemeyer's patch (#6750) to add a curve modifier for sculpting.
A few changes from the patch:
* The default curve is closer to the old behavior
* Fixed loading files already saved in sculpt mode
* Changed the interface; split the brush texture controls off into a third sculpt tab, and put the curve (and curve reset) into the Brush tab.
|
|
I was careful in selectively rolling back revisions, but if you've committed changes unrelated to BPY mixed with BPY changes, I might have reverted those too, so please double check.
|
|
* Added missing stubs so that blenderplayer can be linked.

Fix for bug #7878: particle panels do not update properly when
chaning particle types.
|
|
=========
Merge of the famous particle patch by Janne Karhu, a full rewrite
of the Blender particle system. This includes:
- Emitter, Hair and Reactor particle types.
- Newtonian, Keyed and Boids physics.
- Various particle visualisation and rendering types.
- Vertex group and texture control for various properties.
- Interpolated child particles from parents.
- Hair editing with combing, growing, cutting, .. .
- Explode modifier.
- Harmonic, Magnetic fields, and multiple falloff types.
.. and lots of other things, some more info is here:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/Particles_Rewrite
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/Particles_Rewrite_Doc
The new particle system cannot be backwards compatible. Old particle
systems are being converted to the new system, but will require
tweaking to get them looking the same as before.
Point Cache
===========
The new system to replace manual baking, based on automatic caching
on disk. This is currently used by softbodies and the particle system.
See the Cache API section on:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/PhysicsSprint
Documentation
=============
These new features still need good docs for the release logs, help
for this is appreciated.
|
|
====================
The MeshDeform modifier can deform a mesh with another 'cage' mesh.
It is similar to a lattice modifier, but instead of being restricted
to the regular grid layout of a lattice, the cage mesh can be modeled
to fit the mesh better.
http://www.blender.org/development/current-projects/changes-since-244/modifiers/
Implementation Notes:
- OpenNL has been refactored a bit to allow least squares matrices to
be built without passing the matrix row by row, but instead with
random access. MDef doesn't need this actually, but it's using this
version of OpenNL so I'm just committing it now.
- Mean value weights for polygons have been added to arithb.c, a type
of barycentric coordinates for polygons with >= 3 vertices. This
might be useful for other parts of blender too.

Once again, I've recoded the constraints system. This time, the goals were:
* To make it more future-proof by 'modernising' the coding style. The long functions filled with switch statements, have given way to function-pointers with smaller functions for specific purposes.
* To make it support constraints which use multiple targets more readily that it did. In the past, it was assumed that constraints could only have at most one target.
As a result, a lot of code has been shuffled around, and modified. Also, the subversion number has been bumped up.
Known issues:
* PyConstraints, which were the main motivation for supporting multiple-targets, are currently broken. There are some bimport() error that keeps causing problems. I've also temporarily removed the doDriver support, although it may return in another form soon.
* Constraints BPy-API is currently has a few features which currently don't work yet
* Outliner currently only displays the names of the constraints instead of the fancy subtarget/target/constraint-name display it used to do. What gets displayed here needs further investigation, as the old way was certainly not that great (and is not compatible with the new system too)

* centre -> center
* normalise -> normalize
* modelling -> modeling

Fixed bug #6153, Blender Crash during rendering (internal) with object selected in edit mode.
* Added a render parameter to several of multires's functions. If render==true, multires won't push data onto the undo stack, and regular Mesh data is always used (as opposed to EditMesh data.)
|
|
Fixed bug #5799, Multires mesh modifications get reset by rendering
This bug can cause some nasty data loss (was introduces with my commit for using orco with multires.) Fixed by making sure to do multires_update_levels before applying modifiers.
|
|
Fixed bug #5756, Rendering artifacts when MRM is not set to maximum
Several changes were made:
* Added function multires_level_n to get the nth level from a multires mesh
* Removed the changes I made some time ago to init_render_mesh for multires meshes. Previously it was making a full copy of the mesh object in order to be able to apply deformations to the Pin level and propagate them to the Render level.
* Added two functions to DerivedMesh.c, multires_render_pin and multires_render_final. These two functions work together in the mesh_create_derived_*_render functions to apply all modifiers to the Pin level, then create the DerivedMesh from the Render level, and lastly restore the mesh to its original (undeformed) state.
* Added a check in multires_del_lower and multires_del_higher to ensure that level indices are properly clipped to the actual range of available levels.

longer exits editmode, and undo should now work as expected. Still to come is loading customdata from the editmesh.
|
|
|
|
All data layers, including MVert/MEdge/MFace, are now managed as custom
data layers. The pointers like Mesh.mvert, Mesh.dvert or Mesh.mcol are
still used of course, but allocating, copying or freeing these arrays
should be done through the CustomData API.
Work in progress documentation on this is here:
http://mediawiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/BlenderArchitecture/CustomData
Replaced TFace by MTFace:
This is the same struct, except that it does not contain color, that now
always stays separated in MCol. This was not a good design decision to
begin with, and it is needed for adding multiple color layers later. Note
that this does mean older Blender versions will not be able to read UV
coordinates from the next release, due to an SDNA limitation.
Removed DispListMesh:
This now fully replaced by DerivedMesh. To provide access to arrays of
vertices, edges and faces, like DispListMesh does. The semantics of the
DerivedMesh.getVertArray() and similar functions were changed to return
a pointer to an array if one exists, or otherwise allocate a temporary
one. On releasing the DerivedMesh, this temporary array will be removed
automatically.
Removed ssDM and meshDM DerivedMesh backends:
The ssDM backend was for DispListMesh, so that became obsolete automatically.
The meshDM backend was replaced by the custom data backend, that now figures
out which layers need to be modified, and only duplicates those.
This changes code in many places, and overall removes 2514 lines of code.
So, there's a good chance this might break some stuff, although I've been
testing it for a few days now. The good news is, adding multiple color and
uv layers should now become easy.

I wonder how this survived so long in Blender... (2005/03/09 commit).
Reason was the call to BPY_free_screen_spacehandlers(sc) in kernel,
which was freeing up scripthandlers in a weird way. That call is
really obsolete. The real freeing should go in the del_area() call,
to prevent copying and deleting area in the UI to go wrong.
(Crash happened in testing timeline markers, and holding CTRL+Uparrow
a while...)

Users can write any valid Python expression (that evals to an int or float) inside Blender's gui number buttons (preceded by #) and have them evaluated to their actual int or float value.
Button Evaluation has access to the same modules as PyDrivers.
For example:
#1.0*9-2.3
#ob("Camera").LocZ
#1.0/ob("Cube").LocX
#math.sin(math.pi) -- or simply #m.sin(m.pi)
etc

text module when user edits the input text box of any pydriver
(Transform Properties panel, Ipo window).
It's enough to click in and out of a single pydriver's text input box
for the module reloading and also re-evaluation of all pydrivers
available. Maybe this "refreshing" should also be available from a
menu, let's see.
Note for Python fans:
Definitions and redefinitions in a reloaded module are properly handled
in Python, but previously defined data in the module doesn't disappear.
So if you define a function "f" inside a module, import it, then change
the function's name to "g" and reload the module, both "f" and "g" will
be available. This is considered a feature, check reload's documentation:
http://docs.python.org/lib/built-in-funcs.html#l2h-59

wiki with info: http://mediawiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/PyDrivers
(there are two sample .blends in the patch tracker entry, last link in
the wiki page)
Notes:
In usiblender.c I just made Python exit before the main library gets
freed. I found a situation with pydrivers where py's gc tried to del
objects on exit and their ID's were not valid anymore (so sigsegv).
Ton needs to check the depsgraph part.
For now pydrivers can reference their own object, something normal
ipodrivers can't. This seems to work fine and is quite useful, but if
tests prove the restriction is necessary, we just need to uncomment a
piece of code in EXPP_interface.c, marked with "XXX".
Thanks Ton for the ipodrivers code and adding the hooks for the py part
and Martin for the "Button Python Evaluation" patch from which I started
this one.
Anyone interested, please check the wiki, the .blends (they have
README's) and tell me about any issue.

- blur works again (this was a serious bug in gamwarp...)
- seperates all sequence effects into a seperate file with a clean interface
- thereby fixing some obscure segfaults
- seperates the scope views into a seperate file
- adds float support to all effects and scope views
- removes a bad level call to open_plugin_seq
- FFMPEG seeking improved a lot.
- FFMPEG compiles with debian sarge version cleanly
- Makes hdaudio seek and resample code really work

A full detailed description of this will be done later... is several days
of work. Here's a summary:
Render:
- Full cleanup of render code, removing *all* globals and bad level calls
all over blender. Render module is now not called abusive anymore
- API-fied calls to rendering
- Full recode of internal render pipeline. Is now rendering tiles by
default, prepared for much smarter 'bucket' render later.
- Each thread now can render a full part
- Renders were tested with 4 threads, goes fine, apart from some lookup
tables in softshadow and AO still
- Rendering is prepared to do multiple layers and passes
- No single 32 bits trick in render code anymore, all 100% floats now.
Writing images/movies
- moved writing images to blender kernel (bye bye 'schrijfplaatje'!)
- made a new Movie handle system, also in kernel. This will enable much
easier use of movies in Blender
PreviewRender:
- Using new render API, previewrender (in buttons) now uses regular render
code to generate images.
- new datafile 'preview.blend.c' has the preview scenes in it
- previews get rendered in exact displayed size (1 pixel = 1 pixel)
3D Preview render
- new; press Pkey in 3d window, for a panel that continuously renders
(pkey is for games, i know... but we dont do that in orange now!)
- this render works nearly identical to buttons-preview render, so it stops
rendering on any event (mouse, keyboard, etc)
- on moving/scaling the panel, the render code doesn't recreate all geometry
- same for shifting/panning view
- all other operations (now) regenerate the full render database still.
- this is WIP... but big fun, especially for simple scenes!
Compositor
- Using same node system as now in use for shaders, you can composit images
- works pretty straightforward... needs much more options/tools and integration
with rendering still
- is not threaded yet, nor is so smart to only recalculate changes... will be
done soon!
- the "Render Result" node will get all layers/passes as output sockets
- The "Output" node renders to a builtin image, which you can view in the Image
window. (yes, output nodes to render-result, and to files, is on the list!)
The Bad News
- "Unified Render" is removed. It might come back in some stage, but this
system should be built from scratch. I can't really understand this code...
I expect it is not much needed, especially with advanced layer/passes
control
- Panorama render, Field render, Motion blur, is not coded yet... (I had to
recode every single feature in render, so...!)
- Lens Flare is also not back... needs total revision, might become composit
effect though (using zbuffer for visibility)
- Part render is gone! (well, thats obvious, its default now).
- The render window is only restored with limited functionality... I am going
to check first the option to render to a Image window, so Blender can become
a true single-window application. :)
For example, the 'Spare render buffer' (jkey) doesnt work.
- Render with border, now default creates a smaller image
- No zbuffers are written yet... on the todo!
- Scons files and MSVC will need work to get compiling again
OK... thats what I can quickly recall. Now go compiling!

New diffuse shader, "Fresnel", which using existing fresnel formula.
Since it hilights edges (away from lamp), nice to fill darker parts with
the new layering system.
Weird stuff though;
http://www.blender.org/bf/0001_0040.avi
(Movie disappears in a couple of days!)
Note; for ray-shadow you need to use the Bias, to prevent 'terminator'
problems. I made that option default now.
|
|
(WIP, don't bugs for this in tracker yet please!)
- New Panel "Layers" in Material buttons, allows to add unlimited amount
of materials on top of each other.
- Every Layer is actually just another Material, which gets rendered/shaded
(including texture), and then added on top of previous layer with an
operation like Mix, Add, Mult, etc.
- Layers render fully independent, so bumpmaps are not passed on to next
layers.
- Per Layer you can set if it influences Diffuse, Specular or Alpha
- If a Material returns alpha (like from texture), the alpha value is
used for adding the layers too.
- New texture "Map To" channel allows to have a texture work on a Layer
- Each layer, including basis Material, can be turned on/off individually
Notes:
- at this moment, the full shading pass happens for each layer, including
shadow, AO and raytraced mirror or transparency...
- I had to remove old hacks from preview render, which corrected reflected
normals for preview texturing.
- still needs loadsa testing!
|

- Set the button in Paint Panel, Edit buttons context
- It assumes the mesh to be near-perfectly mirrored. Current threshold is
set to 0.0001 (maximum difference allowed).
In order to evaluate proper mirroring, a new option will be added in
Mesh editmode later.
- When the flipped group doesn't exist yet, it creates the group
- Of course this doesn't work for mirror modifier!
New: Select/activate flipped bone or vertex group
- Press SHIFT+F in PoseMode or WeightPaint mode to get the flipped bone.
Is especially to see while painting if the mirror copying works OK.
New: "Apply Envelope to VertexGroup" uses X-mirror option too.
Todo; check on mirror vertex painting, and mirror Mesh editmode....
The implementation is based on a 8x8x8 Octree, where vertex locations are
stored. Vertices on the threshold boundary of an Octree node are filled in
the neighbour nodes as well, ensuring that the lookup works with threshold.
The current size of the Octree gives good speedup, even for 128k vertices
it only needs 256 lookup cycles per checked vertex.
Same code could be used for the bevel tool for example.
src/meshtools.c:
int mesh_octree_table(Object *ob, float *co, char mode)
- mode 's' or 'e' is "start octree" or "end octree"
- mode 'u' is "use", it then returns an index nr of the found vertex.
(return -1 if not found)

This means the diffuse and specular shaders don't use the normal
for hair (which is actually undefined, a hair is micro cylinder) but
it uses the tangent vector (vector in direction of hair).
For Diffuse, it computes a fake normal now, representing the optimal
hair normal pointing towards the light. All current builtin shaders
work with this, including ramps.
For Specular, it uses another formula to remap dot products for all
lines that now use the tangent vector instead of the normal:
dot = vector * tangent
dot = sqrt(1.0 - dot*dot)
Gives better results than using the 'fake' normal for diffuse. Officially
(according the papers) this could be used for diffuse too, but then hair
becomes very flat. Now you can control the flatness easily with ramps or
using Oren-Nayer for example.
Example image (disappears in some weeks)
http://www.blender.org/bf/rt9.jpg
- Added new texture channel "Strand" to apply textures on hairs over the
length of hair (1 dimensional). Orco now gives 1 fixed coordinate for
the entire hair, based on where it starts.
Note; UV doesn't work yet. Nor vertexcolor.

- moved back to editing buttons, where life is now cramped... switched
to constraint style foldout panes, still a WIP. In particular not
sure what buttons should be in header (and if current toggles stay
in header if they should also be in an expanded pane). Also need
new icons for move up/move down (and drag and drop would of course
be nice). Finally current plane is to make it so modifiers will
expand out in modifier pane for horizontal orientations instead of
just going down down down to goblin town.
- added error field to modifiers that is displayed in UI, need to have
some way for modifiers to return errors back to interface (esp. important
for python)
- tweaked cage determination and handling, currently the editmode cage
is determined by last modifier with OnCage set that is preceeded completely
by modifiers that support mapping or are disabled in editmode. it is
kinda confusing, but the interface only lets you toggle OnCage for modifiers
that support it - it just might not be clear all the time why you can't
toggle a certain modifier OnCage.
- update displistmesh_copy to only copy edges if non-NULL
There is a display bug that already existed but is more obvious with
new modifiers where parts of the pane get drawn in a different area
after toggling editmode. It has to do with drawing parts of the interface
using GL instead of 100% buttons. I try to keep my grubby little toes
out of the interface code so this can wait for Ton to return.

- Made Blender.event var (previously only used by script links) hold ascii value -- where it applies -- of current event during events callback registered with Draw.Register(gui, events, button_events). Useful for gui scripts like Campbell's Python console. No problem using this var to hold the value, since in gui scripts it was not used (always None).
- Updated Window and Window.Theme with new theme vars and the Time space.
- Script links:
-- Added "Render" event for script links (runs twice, second time as "PostEvent", for clean-up actions). Now FrameChanged links don't run when a single pic is rendered.
-- Added "Enable Script Links" button in the script buttons tab. Now this bit gets saved in .blends along with the rest of G.f, so users can define per .blend if they are on or off by default. "blender -y" also disables all slinks as happened before with OnLoad ones only.
-- Other small changes in the script buttons tab:
When a link is added (button "new"), it becomes the active one for the window, no need to press a button to reach it.
Also, a pupmenu showing all available texts is shown when "new" is pressed, so users can choose a text w/o having to type. Cancel the popup to leave the string button empty (link exists, but has no script assigned). A pulldown would be better UI-wise, but it's kinda weird to show both scripts and normal texts (Blender doesn't differentiate them) in a script links pulldown. With a popup we can show only texts ending in ".py" (not done in this commit, need opinions) and if the script has no or another extension, case of many in old and current .blend's, there's still the string box for writing its name.
-- Implemented Ton's space handler script links:
Right now only for the 3d View, but it's trivial to add for others. There are two types: EVENT, to receive 3d View events from a chosen window and DRAW, to draw on the window. Ton's idea was to give scripts a controlled way to integrate better within Blender.
Here's how it works:
- scripts must have a proper header, like:
# SPACEHANDLER.VIEW3D.EVENT
and then they are shown in 3d View's View menu, "Space Handler Scripts" submenu. Check (mark, click on it) a script to make it active.
EVENT handlers should consult the Blender.event var to get the current event, which can be compared with values from the Draw module:
import Blender
from Blender import Draw
evt = Blender.event
if evt == Draw.AKEY:
print "a"
elif evt == Draw.LEFTMOUSE:
print "left mouse button"
else:
return # ignore, pass event back to Blender
Blender.event = None # tell Blender not to process itself the event
DRAW handlers are free to draw to their owner 3D View. OpenGL attributes and modelview and projection matrices are pushed before running the handler and poped when it finishes.
To communicate between EVENT and DRAW handler scripts we have the Blender.Registry module, as always.
Still need to code some nice example, which should also serve to test properly space handlers. Simple tests went fine.
- doc updates about the additions.
=======
Note: the UI part of the space handlers and script links is of course open for changes, I just tried to make it understandable. Probably we won't use the scriptlinks icon for "None Available" (check 3d View -> View -> Space Handler Scripts), though it hints at what space handlers are. The tooltips may not be accepted either, since other menus don't use them. Opinions welcomed.

Render:
- New; support for dual CPU render (SDL thread)
Currently only works with alternating scanlines, but gives excellent
performance. For both normal render as unified implemented.
Note the "mutex" locks on z-transp buffer render and imbuf loads.
- This has been made possible by major cleanups in render code, especially
getting rid of globals (example Tin Tr Tg Tb Ta for textures) or struct
OSA or using Materials or Texture data to write to.
- Made normal render fully 4x32 floats too, and removed all old optimizes
with chars or shorts.
- Made normal render and unified render use same code for sky and halo
render, giving equal (and better) results for halo render. Old render
now also uses PostProcess options (brightness, mul, gamma)
- Added option ("FBuf") in F10 Output Panel, this keeps a 4x32 bits buffer
after render. Using PostProcess menu you will note an immediate re-
display of image too (32 bits RGBA)
- Added "Hue" and "Saturation" sliders to PostProcess options
- Render module is still not having a "nice" API, but amount of dependencies
went down a lot. Next todo: remove abusive "previewrender" code.
The last main global in Render (struct Render) now can be re-used for fully
controlling a render, to allow multiple "instances" of render to open.
- Renderwindow now displays a smal bar on top with the stats, and keeps the
stats after render too. Including "spare" page support.
Not only easier visible that way, but also to remove the awkward code that
was drawing stats in the Info header (extreme slow on some ATIs too)
- Cleaned up blendef.h and BKE_utildefines.h, these two had overlapping
defines.
- I might have forgotten stuff... and will write a nice doc on the architecture!

The changelog is very long... it's on the web too:
http://www.blender3d.org/cms/Mesh_editing_rewrite.425.0.html
EditMesh refactor notes (user)
**** New selection modes
When entering Edit Mode for a Mesh, you now have the choice for three selection modes. These are shown as icons in the 3D header (hotkey is being searched for!).
- Vertex Select
Select vertices as usual, fully compatible with how previous version work
- Edge Select
Vertices are not drawn anymore, and selections happen by default on the edges. It is a true edge select, meaning that you can select three out of four edges in a face, without automatic having the 4th edge selected.
- Face Select
Instead of vertices, now selection 'points' are drawn in the face centers. Selected faces also get a colored outline, like for edges. This also is true face select, for each face individual regardless selection status of its vertices or edges.
While holding SHIFT, and press a selection mode, you can also combine the above choices. Now selection becomes mixed, and will behave as expected.
For example; in Edge+Face select mode, selecting the 4 edges of a face will select the face too.
The selection modes and optional drawing modes (like transparant faces, normals, or solid drawing) all work together. All of Blender's mesh editing tools now react to the correct selection mode as well.
Most noticeable it's in:
**** Extrude
Extruding in Edge or Face Select mode allows much more precise control over what's extruded and what should be excluded. Try for example a checker pattern selection, and extrude it.
New is the fixed translation when faces are extruded. This always follows the (averaged) face normal(s) of the old face(s), enabling much easier working in 3D views . A single 'G' (Grab) or 'R' (Rotate) or 'S' (Scale) will change transform modus as usual.
**** Other things to note
- Hiding edges/faces will also behave different based on Select Mode.
- while editing, normals of faces are updated always now
- Border select (BKEY) has 2 different rules for edges; when one edge is fully inside of the border, it will only select edges that are fully inside. Otherwise it selects each edge intersecting with the border.
- in face mode, adding vertices, edges or a circle is invisible...
- "Add monkey" now works as a normal primitive (rotated and on 3d cursor)
- Mesh undo was fully recoded, hopefully solving issues now with Vertex Keys and Groups
- Going in and out of editmode was fully recoded. Especially on larger models you'll notice substantial speed gain.
**** Todo
Add 'FaceSelect mode' functionality in EditMode, including zbuffered selection, display and editing of UV texture.
EditMesh refactor notes (coder)
**** Usage of flags in general
The "->f" flags are reserved for the editmesh.c and editmesh_lib.c core functions. Actually only selection status is there now.
The "->f1" and "->f2" flags are free to use. They're available in vertex/edge/face structs. Since they're free, check carefully when calling other functions that use these flags... for example extrude() or subdivide() use them.
**** Selection flags
EditVert: eve->f & SELECT
EditEdge: eed->f & SELECT
EditFace: efa->f & SELECT
- Selection is only possible when not-hidden!
- Selection flags are always up-to-date, BUT:
if selection mode >= SELECT_EDGE vertex selection flags can be incorrect
if selection mode == SELECT_FACE vertex/edge selection flags can be incorrect
This because of shared vertices or edges.
- use for selecting vertices:
eve->f &= SELECT
- use for selecting edges always:
void EM_select_edge(eed, 1) // 1 = select, 0 = deselect
- use for selecting faces always:
void EM_select_face(efa, 1) // 1 = select, 0 = deselect
- To set the 'f' flags in all of the data:
void EM_set_flag_all(int flag);
void EM_clear_flag_all(int flag);
- the old faceselectedOR() and faceselectedAND() are still there, but only
to be used for evaluating its vertices
**** Code hints for handling selection
If the selectmode is 'face'; vertex or edge selections need to be flushed upward. Same is true for 'edge' selection mode. This means that you'll have to keep track of all selections while coding... selecting the four vertices in a face doesn't automatically select the face anymore.
However, by using the above calls, at least selections flush downward (to vertex level). You then can call:
void EM_selectmode_flush(void);
Which flushes selections back upward, based on the selectmode setting. This function does the following:
- if selectmode 'vertex': select edges/faces based on its selected vertices
- if selectmode 'edge': select faces based its selected edges
This works fine in nice controlled situations.
However, only changing the vertex selections then still doesn't select a face in face mode! If you really can't avoid only working with vertex selections, you can use this call:
void EM_select_flush(void);
Now selection is flushed upward regardless current selectmode. That can be destructive for special cases however, like checkerboard selected faces. So use this only when you know everything else was deselected (or deselect it). Example: adding primitives.
**** Hide flags
EditVert: eve->h
EditEdge: eed->h
EditFace: efa->h
- all hide flags are always up-to-date
- hidden vertices/edges/faces are always deselected. so when you operate on selection only, there's no need to check for hide flag.
**** Unified undo for editmode
New file: editmode_undo.h
A pretty nice function pointer handler style undo. Just code three functions, and your undo will fly! The c file has a good reference.
Also note that the old undo system has been replaced. It currently uses minimal dependencies on Meshes themselves (no abuse of going in/out editmode), and is restricted nicely to editmode functions.
**** Going in/out editmode
As speedup now all vertices/faces/edges are allocated in three big chunks. In vertices/faces/edges now tags are set to denote such data cannot be freed.
ALso the hashtable (lookup) for edges uses no mallocs at all anymore, but is part of the EditEdge itself.

Array with 'auto' names for textures didn't have the new names yet
(musgrave, voronoi, distnoise)

I took a look at how other BPY_* functions were working in blenkernel/
and got to bad level calls (ah, so this is what that is for...).
As a test, I added BPY_clear_script to the "stubs", argh. If this works,
I'm curious: are these bad level calls needed only by some targets (irix)
because of peculiarities in compiler linkage?
Thanks again, Chris, if this doesn't work, I'll move or copy the function to
script.c, probably, also adding Python.h to it.

do a make clean in source/blender/ to be sure!
- Included the new shaders from Cessen... well, only the shader calls
themselves. To make sure the shaders work I nicely integrated it
- MaterialButtons: layout changed a bit, but still resembles the old
layout. The 'shader' options now are located together.
- Shaders are separated in 'diffuse' and 'specular'. You can combine them
freely.
- diffuse Lambert: old shader
diffuse Oren Nayar: new shader, gives sandy/silky/skinny material well
diffuse Toon: for cartoon render
- specular Phong: new spec, traditional 70ies spec
specular CookTorr: a reduced version of cook torrance shading, does
off specular peak well
specular Blinn: new spec, same features as CookTorr, but with extra
'refraction' setting
specular Toon: new spec for cartoon render
- default blender starts with settings that render compatible!
- works in shaded view and preview-render
- works in unified render
Further little changes:
- removed paranoia compile warnings from render/loader/blenlib
- and the warnings at files I worked at were removed.
