Start working with Blender 2.40. The release will be in a day. Completely new animation system for you.

imho the real advantage of getting a lot of thread would be like if each part of blender would have a thread, this way for example you could render and still continue to work on your scene. but that also imply modularisation. And this will have to wait until 3.0 and purple...

why don't you use add? Mix will give you the mean of current and bruch value. like .5 and 1 will paint .75. Doing "add" with 1 weight and 1 oppacity will give you want you want. for myself What i miss from old system is the ability to paint a region without having to paint all over. What i mean is I...

OMG!
Now you need to put that in the patch tracker ASAP!

There was also talk about crafter.
That's all I know.

Next one will be offical-like

Pocket PC support for Blender would be awesome.
You' the man!

ding dong!

It's not a shader, but a map-input option.
You need to add particle to an object, then go in material, map-input panel and you'll see "strand" mapping.

And no the vertex group for particle is not in there because it's still not commited.

Hi, I'm trying to build as often as possible now. Better than nothing. Lotsa new stuff again. Enjoy. Hair: driven ipo, new strand channel.. Note: This build is done with glibc 2.3.5 and python 2.4.2. So very last version of python, though 2.4 will do. Testing python is a must. I'll most likely post ...

Not to kind of break the party here. But you can read the goal of the Blender foundation: http://www.blender.org/cms/About.30.0.html
It is not a goal for Blender to become comercial-ready. This can explain some decisions made by the dev team.
just some though

thanks for the head up

me too.
Bug tracker then.
it's in the menu on your left.

Time for an update. Sorry for this long post. This is the default build, including game engine, sumo. Bullet still don't compile, don't have time to check. Done with glib 2.3.5 and python 2.4 ----------------------- Relevant feature: -bugfixes -Roland Hess' Floor Constraint patch: -realtime boleans ...

just to give more food for the though: The current effect panel will dissapear. As the only "effect" remaining is the particle. The rest is now part of the modifier stack. Original discussion on the ML was leading to: Remove completely the notion of effect. Create a panel of button just for particle...
