The other day I noticed the default cube had a mask vertex layer -
this isnt so bad - only storing one extra float per vertex - but seems
unnecessary.
There are some other data layers that the user had no way to remove

Hi everyone,
I'd like to discuss the issue that I encounter every time I want to make a
simple parenting structure of objects:
Let's parent object A to object B.
Select A, then select B, and hit Ctl-P.
Here's what happens:
A didn't change its visual transformations, it stayed exactly where it
Maybe some way to display/tweak the local transform would solve this?

From a user perspective I agree with your assertion.
For a possible solution I'd suggest something like a [Global | Local] switch in
the Transform dialog(s). That should be pretty universal.
I'm not sure if this is easily possible from the programming side though.
Best regards,
Martin
Hi Bartek,
there is a non-exposed(a shame!) feature in parenting routine:
For non-inverse-mode press Shift-Ctrl-P instead. This creates an
alternative parent-child-relationship where child-objects exist
entirely in parent coordinate system. This is the better choice for
CAD purposes for example.
oops, haven't read your post to the end
There is of-course the option to parent objects using Shift-Ctl-P. This creates
proper relation between A's transform properties and its visual
transformations,
but it as well moves A to B's location and it's not always the desired
result.
In order to get proper parenting I use a little script:
active = bpy.context.active_object
selected = boy.context.selected_objects
for c in selected:
if c =! active:
m = c.matrix_world
c.parent = active
c.matrix_world = m
This gives me
Yes, yes, I know… I made a mistake:
it should be:
if c != active:

I don't have any strong objections, but a couple of things to look at:
1) Should check how big of a delay this introduces for the first use
of the mask brush on a dense mesh. Don't want there to be a big delay
that makes masking a second-class citizen among brushes :)
2) Implementation issue:
Hi,
a quick reminder for some people here, BCon 4 means essential bug fixes
only! ;-)
So please no big code cleanups, removals and stuff...you never can be
sure that it does not break anything.

I think one more thing:
3) GPU_draw_buffers seems to be also assuming sculpt mask always exists.
We could switch to lazy initialization, but i wouldn't want this to happen
at this point -- think this could wait for after release.

Fixed the issue with the Geometry Data panel not showing up for Cycles.
In regard to the Normal panel, I think this is correct, as these are
Shading options related to Blender Internal only.

Nope, Double Sided working in Cycles too. I beleive that maybe we need global

What i would like to see here is stack based (modo) or nodal (maya) transforms-
that way you could:
expose inverse parent transform
get rid of hard coded dx dy dz transforms
expose constraint offset transforms, and simplify constraints
expose child of constraint
freeze transforms ala maya by
+1 to Bassam Kurdali's proposal :-)

A transform stack has got my vote. :-)
Realistically that's probably still a ways off, though.
As for the current behaviour, if you:
ctrl p
then
ctrl alt p - clear inverse parent
i believe you'll have what you want. Not sure if there is an operator that
just does that
It wouldn't be hard

Why sticky coordinates were removed from blender? The original comment
says that this feature was unavailable from blender UI, but in reality
the only part of blender without support of sticky coordinates was
cycles. This feature was quite popular since Andrew Price created a
tutorial about camera
Unless I'm missing out on something, using project from view uvs is a
better solution and works with cycles.

Incomplete:
Compositing nodes: empty still.

Thank you.
However we are only half way there. It solves the major issue as we at least
don't have weird properties of the child.
The question still remains:
How to make a parent such that the child stays at it's current location,
rotation and scale, but the values of loc/rot/scale change.

Project from view ignores the scale and aspect of camera. Additional
uv tweaking is needed to match the scale of original image.
The other potential replacement could be adding and applying UvProject
modifier on the special uv layer, however it distorts uvs in
perspective mode. Also it doesn't
@Nicholas, this happens when entering sculpt mode so there would be
some slowdown there - I assume, this would just move the delay to the
first time someone uses the mask brush, it would only be once - since
this is a very light data layer I doubt it would be noticeable
slowdown. - compared to

2 easy work arounds for this:

I don't think it should happen by default. it could be especially nasty
for animation data, linked data, etc. Also it doesn't store as much
information (the relationship between child and parent at the time of
parenting) which could come in handy later. However, it is not hard to
do!

If anyone is interested in helping with the release notes, here's the
current status. Even if pages are complete they can always use better

@Lockal,
Cameras really shouldn't be scaled - when you scale a camera it won't
render scaled, so UV project is correct in this case.

My vote is for putting them back, since its clear they are being used,
so as long as BI is still being used sticky should remain, just not on
bugs associated with it that the feature is no longer developed and will
not be fixed. Not to mention its very late in the cycle to be doing this

I would vote for that we remove it.In my opinion using the UV Project modifier

@Sergey, I wouldn't want to wait until after release with this -
mainly because it adds data to peoples meshes they probably won't use

option.
This fixes the nasty errors you pointed out.
