I have uploaded the ALTERNATE patch ... I *strongly* urge people to try both patches. Using it makes the difference more apparent than thinking/talking about it. Set a handle-pair to "align", then choose one handle to "free" and see the behavior difference (summarized below).
BOTH patches fix issues working with single-spline handles: - add tooltips to the handle-type-set menu - fix a visual bug where selected spline handles are highlighted incorrectly - add a (subtle) visual for a rotation-constrained spline handle - introduce a safer eHandleSetMode enum (necessary to make the tooltips work) BOTH patches have exactly the same possible spline handle behaviors for the same handle states. The DIFFERENCES between the patches can be understood somewhat by considering the tooltips and options in the handle-type-set menu... Patch [#36029] - match docs, fix behavior (IMO, much more intuitive) http://projects.blender.org/tracker/?func=detail&aid=36029&group_id=9&atid=127 "Free" - allows the handle to rotate independently from the other handle. "Align" - aligns the handle with the other handle "Align + Constrain" - aligns the handle with the other hand and constrains it's rotation Patch [#36048] - keep behavior, fix docs http://projects.blender.org/tracker/?func=detail&aid=36048&group_id=9&atid=127 "Free" - Align the handle(s) to the other. If the other handle is Free, Vector, or Auto, this will cause the handle to be rotation constrained. "Align" - Allow the handle(s) to freely rotate. To allow the handle to rotate independently, set the other handle to Free, Vector, or Auto. _______________________________________________ Bf-committers mailing list Bf-committers@blender.org http://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers
