[Soc-2010-dev] Sculpt Status - Week 6

[Jason Wilkins]

This week has been mainly focused on bug fixing and interface improvements
of which there are too many small improvements to list here.   The goal is
to have sculpt in a state that it can be merged into the trunk.

One of the biggest improvements to the UI is the use of large icon previews
to select brushes.  This improves the UI by emphasizing the use of brushes
and deemphasizing the changing the tool setting of a single brush.  The
distinction between these two ways of working with sculpt was causing
confusion.

Also, there is now the crease and blob brushes as well as the use of
autosmooth strength based on how much pen pressure there is.  These are all
examples of using multiple brushes at the same time and there should
eventually be a general way to do this.

Autosmoothing based on pen pressure allows for the creation of what is
called a 'polish' brush where the brush flattens a surface if you press hard
and then smooths it out if you press lightly.
