[Bf-committers] fire sim update and design question

Hello, First of all, i started a new site to collect information and documentation about my fire simulation system: http://sites.google.com/site/blenderinflames/home It's been a while since the last update, the reason being some tricky math problems i had to tackle. I worked on the rendering

Re: [Bf-committers] scons/install stale files problem.

Hmm might be good to move the scripts that are present to a 'oldscripts' folder. So that you don't get rid of scripts permanently that a person might want to keep around even if they don't work with the current version. LetterRip On Wed, Feb 10, 2010 at 1:15 AM, Campbell Barton

Re: [Bf-committers] scons/install stale files problem.

If we already had an established 'user scripts folder' separate from the install folder then wiping it out without asking would probably be fine, but users are generally used to placing their own scripts in there. So we need at least some sort of warning or heads up that 'any scripts in your

Re: [Bf-committers] scons/install stale files problem.

On linux we do - ~/.blender/scripts, perhaps the same should be done on all OS's, nevertheless, users can set their own scripts folder if they want. I also don't see this so much as a user issue (ofcourse you cant remove a users scripts without asking), this is a problem with compiling and

Re: [Bf-committers] scons/install stale files problem.

If that's done, it should be either with a special target (scons release) or an option that defaults to false (scons BF_CLEAR=1). Of the two, I prefer the target, it's clearer that this is building for redistribution. Martin --- On Wed, 2/10/10, Campbell Barton ideasma...@gmail.com wrote:

Hi, PCRE development package should be installed on your system. Alternatively you can try building with PCRENATIVE=0 option in which case a bundled PCRE version (under Externals/pcre) will be built. Also, after OpenCollada is built, you need to copy the libraries into ./lib under OpenCollada's

[Bf-committers] Particle fluids buoyancy... wellcome gases :)

Hi all :) las nigth I have implemented a buoyancy force for particle fluids that will allow simulation of gas particles, not just liquids that are the widespread solution, and since those parametters could be animated I start imagine boiling watter ;) visit my site for wispy smoke tests

I tried the build exactly as laid out in the web page and then tried PCRENATIVE=no, I've also tried XMLPARSER with expat native and supplied, also libxmlnative, I haven't tried the supplied libxml yet but it will most probably give the same result, possibly caused by openSUSE's pcre installation

Hi, Note for interested devs: video texture is working in the game engine, via ffmpg. You could check on the code there and see how to copy it. Remember that this is a very early work I'm showing you, so don't get scared!! The final project will look nothing like this. Well, a mockup or

Hi, After talk with JPBouza in irc, it appeared he wants to have alpha layering in 3d window. This just means the image 'auto refresh' tag should work for image texture in 3d window. This already works for background image and image window or composite. Quite easy to code really, a very

Hi, rogerwic...@yahoo.com (2010-02-09 at 1936.00 -0800): interesting. what takes my time (and vertical space) is scrolling thru expanded panels, and i find myself constantly collapsing them. If I were allowed to request a feature, it would be a hotkey to collapse all panels within a context.

Re: [Bf-committers] scons/install stale files problem.

Also, alternatively we could store scripts as a gzip file datatoc'd into blender, and extract it to a hidden temp folder on startup (or even have python directly read from the gzip file, though I'm not sure how to do this). Joe On Wed, Feb 10, 2010 at 8:44 AM, Campbell Barton

There's a function to update and get the image data, image_update_for_frame or um something like this. The backjground image code does this. Joe On Wed, Feb 10, 2010 at 12:12 PM, Benoit Bolsee benoit.bol...@online.be wrote: Hi, Recently, based on my status of the VideoTexture module
