Hi, Voicing in as an add-on writer: access to a least square solver would be highly appreciated. It could simplify and speed-up the LoopTools script. So ideally option 1, but more realistically (taking size into consideration): option 2 will do. Best, Bart (Crouch) On Mon, Apr 23, 2012 at

Hello Andrew, Even though this change might be for the better, it has the potential to break existing scripts. There already was a change in the vector/matrix multiplication order some months ago, and the result was that a lot of users complained about broken scripts. I have to admit that I might

Since I'm not familiar with Blender's C source, I can't comment on the way the patch is written. But as an end-user the proposed method sounds like a good solution. The callbacks aren't associated with specific datablocks, but since the context and the ID data can be accessed in the callback

If you're talking about doing this in python, there is a very useful code snippet at BA*. It's using old api calls, but the math behind it is still sound. I've successfully used it in Blender 2.5. *

Also a lock camera to view option would be great so we can just move the camera like we move any other viewport Like Campbell said, that isn't very hard to do in python. Below you can find some code for it. Copy the text below into the text-editor, Run Script (alt+P), go to 3d-view, search

Hi Campbell, What might be helpful is to have an example of recommended practice. Speaking for myself: right now it's often a matter of experimentation to get things to work and this might result in solutions that depend on bad practice. For example, if you wish your add-on to display a panel

[Bf-committers] Improving add-ons panel

2010-03-10 Thread bartius crouch
When a user has a lot of scripts in his add-ons folder, the add-ons panel (in User Preferences) will become messy. After asking ideasman42 about it I wrote an improved user interface script, which reorganises the panel. It adds filtering and search functionality, as well as the ability to display
