<div>Week 5</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>1) what you did this week</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I gave Multi-Paint an M.O. and became much more familiar with the vertex drawing code for</div>
<div>weight paint's vertex selection.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>2) what you will do next week</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>After getting feedback from the requester, I'll make any necessary adjustments to Multi-Paint, but</div>
<div>the primary focus will shift towards vertex selection in weight painting mode.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>3) any problems that will require extra attention</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Nothing appears to be in the way.</div>

<div>Week 4</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>1) what you did this week</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I made locking and multi-paint functions that didn't take input from each other</div>
<div>so that other vgroup features can be more easily added</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>2) what you will do next week</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Next week is about making sure they work exactly as they should-- I'll be getting input from cessan,</div>
<div>running tests, and if its going well, try to come up with that custom list view code!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>3) any problems that will require extra attention</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>There's an issue with multi-paint, and I'm not sure what the best solution is:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>When you drag the mouse, the MDeformWeight you are painting is sometimes 'reset' and then </div>
<div>altered again from there using the corresponding uw in wpaint_blend()</div>
<div>(so that the weight doesn't instantly go to 0 or 1).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>But the selected groups are not reset each time - so nonactive selected groups tend to flatline at 0 or jump to 1</div>
<div>when you drag the mouse in multi-paint.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'll probably have a solution next week though--so it's okay.</div>

<div>Week 3</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>1) what you did this week</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>After receiving some additional input from my peers, I made a simple version of Multi-Paint, where you can weight paint multiple selected bones at the same time.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>2) what you will do next week</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I will refine Multi-Paint to work with the locking system (right now, it can't paint locked vertices</div>
<div>under any circumstances, but I intend to fix that).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Also, I'll attempt to make a modified list view to select multiple vertex groups to let users lock/unlock more quickly</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>3) any problems that will require extra attention</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I don't have any show-stoppers at the moment.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Still on schedule.</div>

<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>
