were no properly updating when rendering animations.
The render engine was only updating the image user current frame on images used
by material textures. Now moved the function that updates all from the editors
to blenkernel level and do it on all frame changes.
|
|
Issue was caused by delayed or missing image user frame
number update, which lead to image loading failure in
cases node is updating from image signal callback.
Solved in a way that file from image datablock is used
for sockets detection instead of loading image for
current frame.

Before this change only old flag "Premultiply" was used to
detect alpha mode, which is not enough actually.
Now the logic here is:
- If "Premultiply" was enabled it is likely float image with
straight alpha, which shall be premultiplied before usage.
In this case image/sequence Alpha Mode is set to Straight.
- Otherwise use default alpha mode for image format based on
an extension. This could fail in some cases like TIFF, but
this wasn't handled fully correct in older blender anyway.
Initial discovered issue was that EXR images saved in older
Blender versions were set to Straight alpha mode, which is
obviously a straight way to lots of headache.
|
|
The use alpha option moved from the texture datablock to the image, and now it
will duplicate the image datablock in case you have one texture using alpha and
the other not.

Issue was caused by couple of circumstances:
- Normal Map node requires tesselated faces to compute tangent space
- All temporary meshes needed for Cycles export were adding to G.main
- Undo pushes would temporary set meshes tessfaces to NULL
- Moving node will cause undo push and tree re-evaluate fr preview
All this leads to threading conflict between preview render and undo
system.
Solved it in way that all temporary meshes are adding to that exact
Main which was passed to Cycles via BlendData. This required couple
of mechanic changes like adding extra parameter to *_add() functions
and adding some *_ex() functions to make it possible RNA adds objects
to Main passed to new() RNA function.
This was tricky to pass Main to RNA function and IMO that's not so
nice to pass main to function, so ended up with such decision:
- Object.to_mesh() will add temp mesh to G.main
- Added Main.meshes.new_from_object() which does the same as to_mesh,
but adds temporary mesh to specified Main.
So now all temporary meshes needed for preview render would be added
to preview_main which does not conflict with undo pushes.
Viewport render shall not be an issue because object sync happens from
main thread in this case.
It could be some issues with final render, but that's not so much
likely to happen, so shall be fine.
Thanks to Brecht for review!

It was caused by image threading safe commit and it was noticeable
only on really multi-core CPU (like dual-socket Xeon stations), was
not visible on core i7 machine.
The reason of slowdown was spinlock around image buffer referencing,
which lead to lots of cores waiting for single core and using image
buffer after it was referenced was not so much longer than doing
reference itself.
The most clear solution here seemed to be introducing Image Pool
which will contain list of loaded and referenced image buffers, so
all threads could skip lock if the pool is used for reading only.
Lock only needed in cases when buffer for requested image user is
missing in the pool. This lock will happen only once per image so
overall amount of locks is much less that it was before.
To operate with pool:
- BKE_image_pool_new() creates new pool
- BKE_image_pool_free() destroys pool and dereferences all image
buffers which were loaded to it
- BKE_image_pool_acquire_ibuf() returns image buffer for given
image and user. Pool could be NULL and in this case fallback to
BKE_image_acquire_ibuf will happen.
This helps to avoid lots to if(poll) checks in image sampling
code.
- BKE_image_pool_release_ibuf releases image buffer. In fact, it
will only do something if pool is NULL, in all other case it'll
equal to DoNothing operation.

This adds support of movie textures for Cycles rendering.
Uses the same builtin images routines as packed/generated images,
but with some extra non-rna hookups from blender_session side.
Basically, it's not so clear how to give access to video frames
via C++ RNA -- it'll require exposing ImBuf to API, doing some
threading locks and so. Ended up adding two more functions which
are actually bad level call, but don't consider it's so much bad
-- we have few bad calls already, which are actually related.
Changed a bit how builtin images names are passing to image
manager. Now it's not just an ID datablock name, but also a frame
number concatenated via '@' character, which makes itpossible to
easily know frame number to be used for movie images, without
adding extra descriptors to image manager.
Decoding of builtin name is a bit slower now, but it should be
still nothing in comparison with rendering complexity.
Also exposed image user's frame_current to python API, which
is needed to get absolute frame number of movie from node's
image user.
P.S. Generated/packed images are also using bad level call but
only does it to make things more clear here. Either all images
are using C++ RNA here or no images does. That's the most clear
for now.

This codec is absolutely needed to generate DCP using OpenDCP,
before that external application to convert JP2 to J2K was used
which slowed down export a lot.
New codec is exposed to image format settings panel and called
Codec. Default one is JP2 which creates files with .jp2 extension,
new one is called J2K which creates with .j2c extension.
Other changes:
- Fixed avi jpeg warning which was treating as error here.
- Made it so extension is detecting from ImageFormatData instead
of image file type, which makes it possible to have different
extension for the same file type depending on it's settings.
IRIS format should still be changed (depending on number of
channels it'll be .bw, .rgb or .rgba extension)
- Default image format settings would be set from image buffer
when re-saving it. Makes it possible to easily open .j2c file
and save it using J2K codec (without this change it'll save as
.jp2 using JP2 codec)

This commit makes BKE_image_acquire_ibuf referencing result, which means once
some area requested for image buffer, it'll be guaranteed this buffer wouldn't
be freed by image signal.
To de-reference buffer BKE_image_release_ibuf should now always be used.
To make referencing working correct we can not rely on result of
image_get_ibuf_threadsafe called outside from thread lock. This is so because
we need to guarantee getting image buffer from list of loaded buffers and it's
referencing happens atomic. Without lock here it is possible that between call
of image_get_ibuf_threadsafe and referencing the buffer IMA_SIGNAL_FREE would
be called. Image signal handling too is blocking now to prevent such a
situation.
Threads are locking by spinlock, which are faster than mutexes. There were some
slowdown reports in the past about render slowdown when using OSX on Xeon CPU.
It shouldn't happen with spin locks, but more tests on different hardware would
be really welcome. So far can not see speed regressions on own computers.
This commit also removes BKE_image_get_ibuf, because it was not so intuitive
when get_ibuf and acquire_ibuf should be used.
Thanks to Ton and Brecht for discussion/review :)

than normal
There was a missing byte buffer linearization for shader nodes.
Also fixed incorrect image input color space refresh when image is packed.
|
|
Color management would be applied on both of float and byte buffers on image
save in cases if file format doesn't require linear float buffer and if image
is saving as render result.
This solves both initial report issue and TODO marked in previous fix.
Also de-duplicated image buffer color managing code and gave some more
meaningful names for few functions. Also wrote documentation around this
function, so current assumptions about spaces should be clear enough.
Made regression tests by saving EXR/PNG images to all supported format and
rendering OpenGL/Normal animation, in all cases seems everything is fine,
but more tests for sure would be welcome.

Replace old color pipeline which was supporting linear/sRGB color spaces
only with OpenColorIO-based pipeline.
This introduces two configurable color spaces:
- Input color space for images and movie clips. This space is used to convert
images/movies from color space in which file is saved to Blender's linear
space (for float images, byte images are not internally converted, only input
space is stored for such images and used later).
This setting could be found in image/clip data block settings.
- Display color space which defines space in which particular display is working.
This settings could be found in scene's Color Management panel.
When render result is being displayed on the screen, apart from converting image
to display space, some additional conversions could happen.
This conversions are:
- View, which defines tone curve applying before display transformation.
These are different ways to view the image on the same display device.
For example it could be used to emulate film view on sRGB display.
- Exposure affects on image exposure before tone map is applied.
- Gamma is post-display gamma correction, could be used to match particular
display gamma.
- RGB curves are user-defined curves which are applying before display
transformation, could be used for different purposes.
All this settings by default are only applying on render result and does not
affect on other images. If some particular image needs to be affected by this
transformation, "View as Render" setting of image data block should be set to
truth. Movie clips are always affected by all display transformations.
This commit also introduces configurable color space in which sequencer is
working. This setting could be found in scene's Color Management panel and
it should be used if such stuff as grading needs to be done in color space
different from sRGB (i.e. when Film view on sRGB display is use, using VD16
space as sequencer's internal space would make grading working in space
which is close to the space using for display).
Some technical notes:
- Image buffer's float buffer is now always in linear space, even if it was
created from 16bit byte images.
- Space of byte buffer is stored in image buffer's rect_colorspace property.
- Profile of image buffer was removed since it's not longer meaningful.
- OpenGL and GLSL is supposed to always work in sRGB space. It is possible
to support other spaces, but it's quite large project which isn't so
much important.
- Legacy Color Management option disabled is emulated by using None display.
It could have some regressions, but there's no clear way to avoid them.
- If OpenColorIO is disabled on build time, it should make blender behaving
in the same way as previous release with color management enabled.
More details could be found at this page (more details would be added soon):

The image file name function was updating the iuser->framenr using a supposed cfra parameter. However, the actual cfra is unknown when loading movies or sequences, so the iuser->framenr value itself was passed in its place, leading to incremental addition of the iuser frame offset. Removed the cfra parameter altogether from the image path function. This should instead be done separately if necessary, it's not an inherent part of constructing the image file name.

source
Added new flag to Imageuser which indicates whether user frame calculation is needed.
This flag is getting set in BKE_image_signal and handled in actual image usage areas
where both image user and current frame is known.
|
|
open/scale/save images.
|
|
|
|
also use ..._find_name(..., name) rather then ..._find_named(..., name) --- both were used.
|
|
new image. (not use existing one)
|
|
|
|
own save options rather then using the render options (works like image save a copy).
|
|
added some missing functions too - which are not used yep but should be there for api completeness.
* CDDM_set_mloop
* CDDM_set_mpoly
* BLI_mempool_count
|
|
made some small edits
- removed changes to AVI reading since the data types are apart of the format spec.
- absf -> abs for a double value in render code.
|
|
without the underscores these clogged up the namespace for autocompleation which was annoying.
|
|
also add rgba_float_to_uchar, rgba_uchar_to_float
|
|
show when its supported.
|
|
even when saving a copy.
- setting the color channels on save as would ignore the channel - BW/RGB/RGBA setting.
now its used when available but still need to hide BW for formats blender can only write as color.
|
|
move these checks from creator into BKE's image.c, this way we dont need the defines for creator, scons was missing DDS, HDR & Cineon for example and nobody noticed.
|
|
|
|
details:
- setting format options from python isnt possible anymore since this isnt exposed via op->properties, python should use image.save() function instead.
- image save UI now hides 'Relative' option when copy is selected since it has no effect.
- default image depth is set to 8 or more if the image has no float buffer, otherwise its set to 32 or less.
other fixes:
- image new was adding an image with a filepath set to "untitled", if this file happened to exist in the current directory a save on the generated image would overwrite it, now initialize to empty path.
- BKE_ftype_to_imtype was returning an invalid value if ftype==0.
|
|
where image saving settings are needed.
currently file out node and render output share this struct & UI.
|
|
- use BLI_join_dirfile for joining all paths (no need to ensure slash is appended).
- paths from linked library files now supported.

Summary:
========
The idea here is to move the texface options into the material panel.
For images with the change please visit:
http://code.blender.org/index.php/2011/09/bge-material-texface-changes
1 - Some of the legacy problems 2.49 and 2.5x has with the texface system:
==========================================================================
1.1) Shadow, Bilboard and Halo are mutual exclusive (in the code), yet you can
select a face to be more than one mode.
1.2) Sort only works for blend Alpha yet it's an option regardless of the
Transparency Blend you pick.
1.3) Shared doesn't affect anything in BGE.
1.4) ObColor only works for Text objects (old bitmap texts) when using Texture
Face Materials. (not address yet, I so far ignored obcolor)
2 - Notes:
============
2.1) Now "Use Face Textures" in material Option panel will work in Multitexture
even if there is no texture channel.
2.2) In FaceTexture mode it will use TexFace all the time, even if you don't
check the "Use Texture Face" option in the UI. It's a matter of decision, since
the code for either way is there. I decided by the solution that makes the
creation of a material fast - in this mode the user doesn't need to mess with
textures or this "Use Texture Face" option at all. I'm not strong in my opinion
here. But I think if we don't have this then what is the point of the Texture
Face mode?
2.3) I kept references for tface only when we need the image, UV or the tiling
setting. It should help later when/if we split the Image and UV layers from the
tface struct (Campbell and Brecht proposal).
3 - Changes in a Nutshell:
==========================
3.1) "Texture Face" panel (in the Mesh/Object Data panel) no longer exists. Those settings are all part of the material properties, visible when Game Render is set.
3.2) "Texture Face" Shading mode (in the Render panel) is now called “Single Texture”, it needs a material for special settings (e.g. Billboard, Alpha Sort, …).
3.3) New options in the Material Panel
* Shadeless option in the Material panel is now supported for all three Shading modes.
* Physics is now toggleable, this is the old Collision option.
* Two Side (on) is now called Back Culling (off).
* Alpha Sort is one of the Alpha options, together (and mutually exclusive) to Alpha Blend, Alpha Clip, Add and Opaque (i.e. solid).
* Shadow, Billboard and Halo are grouped in the “Face Orientation” property.
* "Face Textures" and "Face Textures Alpha" (under Options) can be used for all but GLSL shading mode (to be supported in GLSL eventually).
* The backend in the game engine is still the same as before. The only changes are in the interface and in the way you need to think your materials. The bottomline is: It’s no longer possible to share materials between faces that do not share the same game properties.
4 - Acknowledgment:
==================
Mike Pan for the design discussions, and testing along the whole development process.
Vitor Balbio for the first hands-on code with the interface changes. That helped me a lot to push me into work on that.
Benoit Bolsee and Brecht van Lommel for patch review (* no one reviewed the whole patch, or the latest iteractions, so I still hold liability for any problems).

This patch adds:
* support for proxy building again (missing feature from Blender 2.49)
additionally to the way, Blender 2.49 worked, you can select several
strips at once and make Blender build proxies in the background (using
the job system)
Also a new thing: movie proxies are now build into AVI files, and
the proxy system is moved into ImBuf-library, so that other parts
of blender can also benefit from it.
* Timecode support: to fix seeking issues with files, that have
a) varying frame rates
b) very large GOP lengths
c) are broken inbetween
d) use different time code tracks
the proxy builder can now also build timecode indices, which are
used (optionally) for seeking.
For the first time, it is possible, to do frame exact seeking on
all file types.
* Support for different video-streams in one video file (can be
selected in sequencer, other parts of blender can also use it,
but UI has to be added accordingly)
* IMPORTANT: this patch *requires* ffmpeg 0.7 or newer, since
older versions don't support the pkt_pts field, that is essential
for building timecode indices.
Windows and Mac libs are already updated, Linux-users have to build
their own ffmpeg verions until distros keep up.

there was no way to know the frame that blender was attempting to read.
added a label for image sequence images showing the image file's frame, even when not able to load, this also gives realtime feedback to the user while dragging the frame offset/start/duration buttons about so they can better understand how these settings work.
|
|
- add BKE_write_ibuf_stamp() since saving environment maps & screen shots shouldn't have stamp.
|
|
|
|
|
|
check for alpha channel while saving images that have been painted onto.
It would be nicer to do this while in paint mode except this isn't so simple with project paint using multiple images at once.
|
|
flagged as PROP_THICK_WRAP.
Also use const char in many other parts of blenders code.
Currently this gives warnings for setting operator id, label and description since these are an exception and allocated beforehand.
|
|
accessed by the UI at the moment, but could eventually be used for saving test-renders.
The main reason to have this is so renders can be scripted to write to a specific file without having to do annoying tricks like set a dummy start/end frame range, render an animation and work out the current frame image will be written to, then rename after rendering.
Also made some 'char *' args into 'const char *'
