<div>Week 2 Radish Branch</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>1) what you did this week</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I changed the locking system so that it fully protects the deformations and works with auto normalize.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>There's a checkbox in the list view by the vertex group's name so you can see which ones are locked without selecting them first.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I added buttons to assist in managing locks on large #'s of vertex groups.</div>
<div>(Lock All, Invert Locks, Unlock All)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>2) what you will do next week</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I _want_ to make multiple vertex groups selectable</div>
<div>(either by selecting the bones or highlighting the names in the list)</div>
<div>to make a faster method for locking/unlocking groups</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If multiple groups are selected, then only selected groups will be modifiable,</div>
<div>and the rest are considered locked.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>For that idea to work, the weight related colors will need changing, it should either be the average weight displayed,</div>
<div>or the # of vertex groups should be the new upper bound for the highest weight color.</div>
<div>(Selecting 2 vertex groups makes red 2 instead of 1, for instance).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This multi-selection idea could be difficult to implement, given that Blender is coded for 1 'active' group.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If _nothing_ else, multiple groups could be 'selectable,' but the active group is just the first/last</div>
<div>one you selected (probably last), but the others you selected are unlocked too.</div>
<div>It might be more compatible with anything Blender currently does.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>3) any problems that will require extra attention</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Depends on how hard it is to select multiple groups.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Still on schedule.</div>
