OK, this commit does a lot, and it was hard to separate the changes, so
mega-commit.
- We now export stencils in such a way that Plasma layers can be affected
by multiple stencils, theoretically matching the Blender behavior
- We don't try to animate stencils or even offer animation options. This
is nonsense.
- In our zealousness to skip over illegal texture slots, there was a bug
introduced in which we queried texture fcurve paths illegally,
potentially causing animations to be exported incorrectly. This has been
fixed.
- There was a potential issue with the animation command node's material
option in which the message could be sent to the wrong page. This has
been corrected by making the Object field mandatory for all animation
types.
- Add an opacity value for exported layer.
- Add a conversion button in the toolbar for old PyPRP Ages
which used the diffuse color factor as the opacity value.
As requested by Doobes, we now have buttons that enable Plasma Object on
everything and all Textures. These are mostly useful for the case of
updating from PyPRP, which was opt-out and totally ignored the
checked-ness of Textures.
So this is a fairly massive chunk. I tried to get our Plasma Modifiers to
match the Blender Modifier UI fairly well. In the process, I discovered
that Blender "helpfully" hides the modifier button on Empty objects. Bah.
Significant Changes:
- Hid all of the Blender Physics mess
- The Physics context is now the Plasma Object context
- Moved Plasma Object and Plasma Synchronization to the Context Formerly
Known as Physics
- Added a Plasma Modifier Panel
Here's how you create Plasma Modifiers:
- Add your PropertyGroup to properties.modifiers
- Make sure you have a pl_id naming your modifier, a category, and a label
- Implement the export() method to actually export something useful (not
goat porn, please)
- Implement your UI draw function in ui.modifiers.
- Wasn't that easy?
We are attempting to encourage the pages=layers paradigm; however, this is
not strictly enforced. This commit has lots of bits and bobs but little
actual substance. More to come when I begin work on the exporter.
