[Soc-2011-dev] Weekly progress report #5 - Dynamic Paint

[Miika Hämäläinen]

Uh, I dont have paint_mask.c in carrot. :o It's all purely based on trunk.

Anyway, Dynamic Paint is *very* different from regular sculpt/paint 
tools. Because painting happens with objects and and it modifies mesh 
data, it is implemented as a simulation modifier. It doesn't even use 
same code files. 95% of the code is located in dynamicpaint.c. That's 
why there is no need to worry about conflicting changes. :)
