[Bf-gamedev] Unreal Engine-like Viewport Navigation (patch)

Tue Aug 25 17:28:36 CEST 2015

Hi there,
Last year I had to put this project on hold to get multiview finished.
I'm now resuming the work here, and hope to get this out of the way
soon. I've addressed most of the suggestions:

Recent changes in Blender core:
=========================
  - Fix lookaround twisting the view after awhile
  - Take redraw and base speed into consideration for mouse move
  - Increase stability of WALK_MOUSE_MOVEVERTICAL mode (MMB) by doing
only one movement at a time

Recent changes in Python scripts:
==========================
  - Basic interaction file for unreal
  - F (focus) shortcut to view_selected
  - Set default walk speed 10x faster
  - Map Alt + Tweaks to expected behaviours (rotate, zoom, move - LMB, RMB, MMB)

Updated builds:
============
Win: http://www.dalaifelinto.com/ftp/builds/epic-navigation-blender-2.75-3e88532-win64.zip
Linux: http://www.dalaifelinto.com/ftp/builds/epic-navigation-blender-2.75-3e88532-linux-glibc211-x86_64.tar.bz2
OSX: http://www.dalaifelinto.com/ftp/builds/epic-navigation-blender-2.75-3e88532-OSX-10.6-x86_64.zip

Not implemented:
==============
* Control transitions (smoothly switch between modes when release or
clicking an extra mouse button)
* LMB + RMB: behave as MMB

Feedback is once again appreciated. I'm particularly interested on
whether what we have is master-worthy, or not. Specially because the
"not implemented" items may be not doable.

Best regards,
Dalai
