A large chunk of documentation goodness from Campbell Barton (ideasman).
Thanks!
Note that any mispellings, errors, or inconsistencies are due to
my ham-fisted editing.

Aim was to get a total refresh of the animation system. This
is needed because;
- we need to upgrade it with 21st century features
- current code is spaghetti/hack combo, and hides good design
- it should become lag-free with using dependency graphs
A full log, with complete code API/structure/design explanation
will follow, that's a load of work... so here below the list with
hot changes;
- The entire object update system (matrices, geometry) is now
centralized. Calls to where_is_object and makeDispList are
forbidden, instead we tag objects 'changed' and let the
depgraph code sort it out
- Removed all old "Ika" code
- Depgraph is aware of all relationships, including meta balls,
constraints, bevelcurve, and so on.
- Made depgraph aware of relation types and layers, to do smart
flushing of 'changed' events. Nothing gets calculated too often!
- Transform uses depgraph to detect changes
- On frame-advance, depgraph flushes animated changes
Armatures;
Almost all armature related code has been fully built from scratch.
It now reveils the original design much better, with a very clean
implementation, lag free without even calculating each Bone more than
once. Result is quite a speedup yes!
Important to note is;
1) Armature is data containing the 'rest position'
2) Pose is the changes of rest position, and always on object level.
That way more Objects can use same Pose. Also constraints are in Pose
3) Actions only contain the Ipos to change values in Poses.
- Bones draw unrotated now
- Drawing bones speedup enormously (10-20 times)
- Bone selecting in EditMode, selection state is saved for PoseMode,
and vice-versa
- Undo in editmode
- Bone renaming does vertexgroups, constraints, posechannels, actions,
for all users of Armature in entire file
- Added Bone renaming in NKey panel
- Nkey PoseMode shows eulers now
- EditMode and PoseMode now have 'active' bone too (last clicked)
- Parenting in EditMode' CTRL+P, ALT+P, with nice options!
- Pose is added in Outliner now, with showing that constraints are in
the Pose, not Armature
- Disconnected IK solving from constraints. It's a separate phase now,
on top of the full Pose calculations
- Pose itself has a dependency graph too, so evaluation order is lag free.
TODO NOW;
- Rotating in Posemode has incorrect inverse transform (Martin will fix)
- Python Bone/Armature/Pose API disabled... needs full recode too
(wait for my doc!)
- Game engine will need upgrade too
- Depgraph code needs revision, cleanup, can be much faster!
(But, compliments for Jean-Luc, it works like a charm!)
- IK changed, it now doesnt use previous position to advance to next
position anymore. That system looks nice (no flips) but is not well
suited for NLA and background render.
TODO LATER;
We now can do loadsa new nifty features as well; like:
- Kill PoseMode (can be option for armatures itself)
- Make B-Bones (Bezier, Bspline, like for spines)
- Move all silly button level edit to 3d window (like CTRL+I = add
IK)
- Much better & informative drawing
- Fix action/nla editors
- Put all ipos in Actions (object, mesh key, lamp color)
- Add hooks
- Null bones
- Much more advanced constraints...
Bugfixes;
- OGL render (view3d header) had wrong first frame on anim render
- Ipo 'recording' mode had wrong playback speed
- Vertex-key mode now sticks to show 'active key', until frame change

no executable code.
Martin noticed many of our bpy instance variables were
incorrectly marked as class variables in the doc. This
commit essentially changes the title of sections of the doc
from Class Variables to Instance Variables. Now that we are
adding class or module dictionaries for constants, etc. this is
a distinction worth making. Plus it is right.

- bug #2033 reported by Ken Hughes: Vertices of mesh parented to lattice is scaled incorrectly:
https://projects.blender.org/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2033&group_id=9&atid=125
- bug #2211 reported by German Alonso Tamayo (servivo): Add a vertex to a mesh with groups using a script and then edit that mesh hangs blender:
https://projects.blender.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2211&group_id=9&atid=125
(#2211's hang was already fixed with previous commit, but this way should work better)
- doc updates (Ken reported missing info about Render slinks, thanks).

- docs also updated

- based on a request by Campbell (he also provided a patch for scene.Layer) access to layers was improved a little, keeping the old method (ob.Layers is a bitmask) and adding the nicer one (ob.layers is a list of ints). Done for objects and scenes. House-cleaning: .Layer was renamed to .Layers (actually just using strncmp instead of strcmp, so both work, same done for Window.ViewLayers).
- finally committing patch by Ken Hughes to let .clearScriptLinks() accept a parameter (list of strings) to clear only specified texts.
- doc updates and fixes (JMS reported a problem in nmesh.transform() example code).
Thanks all who contributed.

Scripts:
Campbell Barton (Ideasman, thanks) updated his Wavefront OBJ importer.
BPython:
- Finally committed pending contributions:
Chris Keith wrote the Blender.Sound module -- still some testing to do this week;
Joseph (joeedh) added the OnLoad scene script event;
Satish Goda added 6 GLU functions to Blender.BGL. Great additions, thanks all!
- Small changes to Blender.Load (leave editmode as Blender wants) and Window.EditMode (allow definition of "undo string");
- Fixed bug #1539: Window.RedrawAll() crashed Blender if an empty spacescript was available while using it in a gui-less script.
- doc updates.

- new submodule Scene.Radio, for radiosity: still incomplete, but in shape for demos, updated SConscript to include it;
- new functions in Window module;
- doc updates: adding a todo file and a new start page for our docs: API_intro.py + other updates;
- small fix in Ipo.c provided by Damien McGuinnes (thanks!): Nathan has a patch with IPO additions and fixes for this and more, but until it is committed, there's this fix for Ipo.getCurve('LocX'), LocY, Z and QuatW,X,Y,Z too, according to Damien.
Other files:
- radpreprocess.c: added check for "during_script()" so eventual msgs don't popup during scripts;
- drawmesh.c: made a pointer (display list) be checked before accessed, fixes crash in scripts that forget to update display lists for subsurf meshes when a 3d view is in textured view mode.
Script: updated bevel_center by Loic Berthe.
|
|
- hotkeys, obdatacopier and renameobjectbyblock, all from Jean-Michel Soler (jms);
- bevel_center by Loic Berthe, suggested for inclusion by jms;
- doc_browser, by Daniel Dunbar (Zr)
Thanks to them for the new contributions!
(I included doc_browser at 'Misc' because only users interested in script writing would actually use it, but it could also be under 'Help'. Opinions?)
BPython related:
- Added scriptlink methods to object, lamp, camera and world.
- Object: added object.makeTrack and object.clearTrack (old track method).
- sys: made sys.exists(path) return 0 for not found; 1 for file, 2 for dir and -1 for neither.
- doc updates and fixes.
- made ONLOAD event work. G.f's SCENESCRIPT bit was being zeroed in set_app_data.
- Blender: updated functions Load and Save to support the builtin importers and exporters besides .blend (dxf, videoscape, vrml 1.0, stl, ...)
- Draw: added mouse wheel events.
- Scene: added scene.play to play back animations (like ALT+A and SHIFT+ALT+A). Makes a good counter, too, when the 'win' attribute is set to a space that doesn't "animate".
The scene.play() addition and the fix to ONLOAD scriptlinks is part of the work for a Blender demo mode. It already works, but I'll still add support for Radiosity calculations and fix a thing in main(): it executes onload scripts too early (BIF_Init), giving funny results in alt+a animations and renderings when firing up Blender. Loading after the program is up has no such problems. When I finish I'll post examples of demo mode scripts.
|
|
- Added function Blender.Save(filename) to save .blend files.
- Added scriptlink-related methods (get, clear, add) to Scene and Materials. Will still add method remove and add these methods to World, Object, Camera and Lamp.
- Updates and small fixes in docs.

|

|
|

To accept an optional parameter for a "full" update (using set_scene_bg()).
- Updated the docs accordingly.
|
|
