Our current keymap doesn't give us enough room to make such changes in
the event system. To fix small issues caused by this, we would need to do
drastic changes in Blender's keymaps and internal handling. It was worth
a try, but it didn't work.
I can write down a more descriptive statement in a few days, but for now
I need a break of this stuff.

Missing Bits
============
First rule of Multi-View bug report: If something is not working as it should *when Views is off* this is a severe bug, do mention this in the report.
Second rule is, if something works *when Views is off* but doesn't (or crashes) when *Views is on*, this is a important bug. Do mention this in the report.
Everything else is likely small todos, and may wait until we are sure none of the above is happening.
Apart from that there are those known issues:
* Compositor Image Node poorly working for Multi-View OpenEXR
(this was working prefectly before the 'Use Multi-View' functionality)
* Selecting camera from Multi-View when looking from camera is problematic
* Animation Playback (ctrl+F11) doesn't support stereo formats
* Wrong filepath when trying to play back animated scene
* Viewport Rendering doesn't support Multi-View
* Overscan Rendering
* Fullscreen display modes need to warn the user
* Object copy should be aware of views suffix

(NLA buttons support to come)
After looking into this more carefully, I've found that we do in fact need a dedicate
operator to add some custom logic when trying to unlink an action from the editor/datablocks.
Specifically, this new operator does the following:
1) When in Tweak Mode, it shouldn't be possible to unlink the active action,
or else, everything turns to custard.
2) If the Action doesn't have any other users, the user should at least get
a warning that it is going to get lost.
3) We need a convenient way to exit Tweak Mode from the Action Editor
4) If none of the above apply, we can just unlink normally
This commit implements this for the Action Editor, with stubs for the NLA Editor too.
Those will be fixed next.

Design task: T42339
Differential Revision: D840
Initial implementation proposal: T41867
Short description:
With this we can distinguish between holding and tabbing a key. Useful
is this if we want to assign to operators to a single shortcut. If two
operators are assigned to one shortcut, we call this a sticky key.
More info is accessible through the design task and the diff.
A few people that were involved with this:
* Sean Olson for stressing me with this burden ;) - It is his enthusiasm
that pushed me forward to get this done
* Campbell and Antony for the code and design review
* Ton for the design review
* All the other people that gave feedback on the patch and helped to
make this possible
A big "Thank You" for you all!

It turned out that the constantly changing width of the datablock selector
made it a pain to use these to quickly toggle between different actions,
as the buttons would keep jumping around, thus leading to errors when
quickly toggling between actions. This way doesn't look quite as great,
but should be more usable.
|
|
With this feature, it is now possible to quickly switch between different actions
stacked/stashed on top of each other in the NLA Stack without having to go to the
NLA Editor and doing a tab-select-tab dance, thus saving quite a few clicks. It
was specifically designed with Game Animation / Action Library workflows in mind,
but also helps layered animation workflows.
Usage:
Simply click on the up/down arrow buttons (between the action datablock selector
and the pushdown/stash buttons) to go to the action in the NLA Track above/below
the NLA Strip being whose action is being tweaked in the Action Editor.
Notes:
- These still work when you're not editing the action used by a NLA Strip.
If you're just animating a new action normally, it is possible to use the "down arrow"
to temporarily jump down to the previous action without losing the new action you're
working on, and then use the "up arrow" to get back to it once you're done checking
the other action(s).
- If there are multiple actions/strips on the same layer/track, then only the one
closest to the current frame will be used.

This commit is an experiment exploring the relationship between the action
management buttons (i.e. action selector + pushdown/stash, and soon a few others)
and the filtering stuff (i.e. summary, only selected, etc.)
The old ordering meant that the filtering stuff was consistently in the same
place beside the mode selector, meaning that the order was "common stuff, then
editor specific stuff", this was not that great on smaller windows, where there
important stuff was often out of view.
This new order places greater emphasis on the parts which are likely to be more
important. It also allows us to have a better hierarchy/flow; this is especially
because we'll soon introduce a way to specify which datablock "level" the
action comes from, so going from "level -> action -> filters within action" will
make more sense.

From the various forum threads and the fact that a new addon has cropped up,
it appears that it is not that well known that this tool exists, and that it
can be used solve a very common problem that animators face. Namely:
When you've gone through blocking out your key poses and then realise
that you need to adjust parts of the rig which don't change much, this
tool solves the problem of needing to go through doing grunt-work to
fix all the other keyframes which now need to change as well.
So, this tool is now available in the following two places (in addition to
the existing Pose -> Propagate menu):
* Toolbar - The "Propagate" button will use the default mode (or the last
used mode for each subsequent invocation).
The arrow-button beside this will allow choosing between the different
modes. (NOTE: The UI team may have different thoughts on this, but,
let's give this a try for a while first, to see if this sort of thing works)
* Alt-P - In Pose Mode, this will now bring up a menu allowing you to choose
which mode is used. Since this sort of thing is something that does
get run several times in a row when you need it, having this hotkey
will make it a bit more convenient.
|
|
This commit adds a new mode for the Propagate Pose tool. With this new option,
the Propagate Pose will copy the current pose over to all selected keyframes
after the current frame.
For reference, some of the other/existing options are: to copy it to each subsequent
keyframe with the same value (WHILE_HELD - the default), to the next keyframe,
or to the last keyframe.

This works by using the distance in the x axis only (usually artists want to influence nearby
keyframes based on timing, not value). Tweaking handles is the same as tweaking
the central handle. It's a bit ambiguous if proportional editing is really meaningful
for handles but will leave that for artists to decide.

Only" is enabled
The "Layered" option for auto keyframing will create a new NLA strip if playback
reaches the end of the frame range and jumps back again. The idea is that instead
of overwriting the keyframes you've already made, it will make a new animation
layer. However, this does not work with the "Insert Available Only" option
(which can either be set in the User Prefs, or in the active keyingset), as that
option needs some existing FCurves to tell what it can insert keyframes into.
The "fix" here is to simply not show the offending button in situations where it
cannot be used!

There are two per-editor settings now, the Per-Strip setting (default)
and the Project setting.
The per strip setting basically uses the previous, per-strip options for
storing the proxies.
The project setting though will use a specified directory for -all-
proxies, or the blend file directory if no directory is given.

This patch will fix the color management for the mist and global ambient color.
It will remove the old "Color Management" switch in the BGE "Render > Shading" panel and will use the "Display Device" setting in the "Scene > Color Management" panel instead.

mode.
Yes it will, because those modes stay active. So on user side, expose
depth of field option always (I don't see why not), but disable SSAO in
wireframe/bounding box mode. It is a known limitation that compositing
does not support antialiasing yet, but better give users some more
control.
This could be included in final release but it's not that serious
either.

This change introduces a new hysteresis parameter that it will be added
or subtracted to/from the LOD distance to avoid popping when a LOD
object moves close to the LOD transition continuously.
Then, we have the following:
- a new LOD Hysteresis setting per scene (default 10%) which is located
in Scene context --> Level of Detail panel. This scene parameter also
will active/deactive the scene hysteresis.
- and a new LOD Hysteresis setting per object (default 10%) which is
located in Object context --> Levels of Detail panel. The LOD hysteresis
setting per object (if active) will overwrite the hysteresis setting per
scene value.
For the new blends: the hysteresis setting per scene would be active by
default and the per object would be inactive by default.
For the old blends: both hysteresis settings (per scene and per object)
would be inactive by default. A quick way to take advantage of this
feature for old blends would be to activate the hysteresis parameter in
the scene context -> Level of Detail panel

A new checkbox "High quality" is provided in camera settings to enable
this. This creates a depth of field that is much closer to the rendered
result and even supports aperture blades in the effect, but it's more
expensive too. There are optimizations to do here since the technique is
very fill rate heavy.
People, be careful, this -can- lock up your screen if depth of field
blurring is too extreme.
Technical details:
This uses geometry shaders + instancing and is an adaptation of
techniques gathered from

default again
This commit modifies the "New Action" operator to always stash the old action
before it creates a new one. As a result, the old active action will now have
a proper user of sorts after the new one is created, preventing previously
created actions from being lost.
Now that the New operator does this, it can be used for the Action Editor header AND
NLA Editor (Animation Data Panel -> Active Action) again. The "stash and create"
operator is somewhat redundant at this point as a result.

and create new" operator
In constrast to the old "new" operator, this operator will stash the existing action
in the stack to prevent it from being lost. This situation isn't totally ideal yet,
since the NLA Editor still calls the old method.

I'm still not sure which version is better, but I suspect that with the labels,
this might help users figure this out more than if they were just unlabelled

This operator (the snowflake icon, beside the pushdown button on the Action Editor
header) adds the currently active action to the NLA stack in a muted track, then
creates + loads a new action ready to be populated with new keyframes.
Since the NLA is being used to hang on to all the actions here, no actions are
getting lost.
Usage Notes (there will be some additional tweaks to make this nicer):
* To preview different actions that have been "stashed", simply click the "Solo"
toggle for the track containing the action in question. Playing back the NLA will
now show the stashed track
* To edit a previously stashed action - simply enter tweakmode on it in the NLA
while the "Solo" toggle is enabled.
Todo:
* Add some more operators here to polish up the Action <-> NLA bridge to make the
layered and stash workflows smoother. Examples include some tools to easily
switch between the different actions layers in the stack, as well as making it
easier to get out of tweakmode (and sync up the action lengths)
* Review and cleanup the behaviour of the "new" operator here to avoid the old
problems that users were running into
* After the next release - Implement the full Action Libraries functionality, with
ways to bridge the stashed strips over to a full-blown library.

the NLA Stack
This commit exposes the "Push Down" button/functionality found in the NLA Editor
to the Action Editor, so that actions can be added NLA Stack from here too. The
main point of this for now is to make the whole layered-animation workflow nicer
more efficient, but not requiring the second editor be visible in common cases.
It also conveniently sets things up for the next few changes (already hinted at
here)...

OpenGL is detected:
Hoping to decrease the frequency of by far one of the most frequent bug
reports by windows users.
There is some reorganization of the GHOST API to allow easy addition of
further OpenGL options in the future. The change is not propagated too
deep to keep the size of the patch managable. We might reorganize things
here later.
For OpenGL we do two checks here:
One is a combination of GDI generic renderer or vendor microsoft
corporation and OpenGL version 1.1. This means the system does not
use GPU acceleration at all. We warn user to install a graphics
driver and of cases where this might happen (remote connection, using
blender through virtual machine)
The other one just checks if OpenGL version is less than 1.4 (we can
easily change that in the future of course) and warns that it is
deprecated.
Both cases will still let blender startup correctly but users should now
have a clear idea of the system being unsupported.
A user preference flag is provided to turn the warning off.
Now stop posting those bug reports without installing a driver first -
please?
