Blender on windows already supports having the .blender folder in different locations outside of the install folder, regardless of the build engine used. That's not a new thing and not a big issue. Martin --- On Sat, 2/13/10, joe wrote: > From: joe > Subject: Re: [Bf-committers] scons/instal

I wasn't implying we should keep old scripts around. Simply that you shouldn't play around so freely with the behavior of build systems like this, at least not without thorough testing :) IMHO it should not use the $HOME directory unless your explicitly making a release package. Joe On Sat, Feb

This is whats happening on linux/unix for years with blender 2.4x, if ~/.blender is defined, maybe we switch to ~/blender-2.5.x in future, this has been discussed in other posts. They can be made to co-exist pretty easy I think, just make "$PWD/.blender" override "$HOME/.blender" I explained in t

Thanks for that. I added auto refresh support for movie as well, now the movie texture updates in the 3D view. The auto_refresh option must be turned on on the Texture channel. This feature is very memory hungry: all the images loaded from the movie are kept uncompressed in memory. This represent a

I think this is a great idea, just some ideas: -somehow there should be resolved grouping of such scripts, so that more at once get loaded, could be solved with categorisation. -these groups would possibly have similar subdirectories like the main blender scripts - ops, io, ui,...(think big! :))

Sure people will make their own 2.5 script packs, and we should make this easy to install etc. however IMHO these are not mutually exclusive. For eg, You might get a script pack, yet not have it clutter your menu's, and only enable say 4 useful scripts from the pack. On Sat, Feb 13, 2010 at 6:35 P

Hi, in the past i also thought it would be a good aproach to break blender down in several packages, for e.g. core package and 2-3 script packages. Shipping as much scripts as possible with the blender package itself, putting scripts in categories, which then can be enabled or disabled would be so

Couple of things: The Extrude operator in the tool shelf uses the menu because I forgot to change it. I'd probably set it with Extrude and Extrude Individual as two separate operators there (the equivalent of the E and Shift-E keys). Extrude region from the menu not doing extrude along normals

Word of caution: the "shift-key brings a popup and changes the default behavior , key just does the default" idea proposed by matt d. Is only good where only one behavior is used frequently, otherwise you're going to be using the toggle all the time. In the specific case of extrude I think Marti

Playing with it, I find I actually prefer the current popup's way of not snapping to the normal immediately when extruding edges and vertices. I was in love with the feature yesterday, because it works very well, but since much of my modelling deals with retopology that's something that'd just

Hi, I present here a new noise function called "flow noise". This is an extension to the usual Perlin noise method, which allows for pseudo-physical animation of turbulence by rotating the noise base vectors. From the original author of this code, Stefan Gustavson: * This is an implementation of
