Bug reported by Brecht on IRC.
|
|
This code adds a basic and simple skeleton generator.
Examples and links are in the wiki, docs will come eventually: http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Theeth/skeletor
In a nutshell, select a vertex at the top of the head and press "Generate Skeleton". UI Panel is in the Editing buttons in Edit Mode, tooltips and semi-useful.

* Old files now get initialised with the correct scale. The wrong calculation was being used
* Added a new tool to Alt-S menu: "Apply Scale"
This tool causes all the keyframes in the active strip to be moved to their NLA-scaled times, the scale to be set to 1.0, and the frame ranges recalculated accordingly (to remove any nasty weird errors)
* Scale field now draws red when the action-range is < 1, and the tooltip in this case instructs the user how to fix this (by using "Apply Scale").
|
|
NLA-Strips now have a new setting: Scale.
It determines how much the action-range is scaled for each repeat, instead of the scaling being implicitly determined based on repeats + strip-length.
One of the instant benefits of this, is that when increasing the number of repeats, the strip length increases by the right amount. Thus, increasing the number of repeats retains a constant speed.
Hopefully we can prevent weirdly scaled actions this way. (i.e. 0.00001 frames long action * 10000 or so)
Todo:
- Transform code needs to be able to set the scale setting (it doesn't yet)
- Add a new option to "apply scaling", to fix up problems with old files that have really bad scaling. Situations when this is needed could get indicated in the interface too... (red background for "Scale" field?)

=========
- Fix crash in particle transform with the particle system not editable.
- Particle child distribution and caching is now multithreaded.
- Child particles now have a separate Render Amount next to the existing
Amount. The render amount particles are now only distributed and cached
at render time, which should make editing with child particles faster.
- Two new options for diffuse strand shading:
- Surface Diffuse: computes the strand normal taking the normal at
the surface into account.
- Blending Distance: the distance in Blender units over which to
blend in the normal at the surface.
- Special strand rendering for more memory efficient and faster hair and
grass. This is a work in progress, and has a number of known issues,
don't report bugs to me for this feature yet.

- Library referencing didn't add the new local Ipo for constraints
- Proxy command didn't set the driver object in constraint ipo to be
the new proxy object.
|
|
=========
Bugfix for crash with disabling the particles system and saving/loading
files, the way it detected if the mesh had changed could not work correct.
|
|
Now reading files with many references to other files uses correct
version patching.
|
|
- new option for Local Constraint Ipos did not set user counter in
Ipo at file reading, causing data to get lost (not saved).
- Driver feature: the channels "Loc X Y Z" now also use the result
of constraints, but transformed back into local space, as if it
was action X Y Z. Nice stuff for those who understand this...
it means you can drive something with a bone that has constraints.
|
|
supported with library referencing yet.
|
|
option, needed for leaves.
modifier.c, BKE_modifier.h - flag for modifiers to say they use pointcache, also new func modifiers_usesPointCache
renamed //pointcache to //blendcache_blendfilename so blendfiles in the same dir dont conflict, and other to show this dir isnt limited to pointcache only (nodes way want to use this)
wizard_curve2tree.py - better defaults for pretty tree's
|
|
=============
A new "Selected to Active" option in the Bake panel, to (typically) bake
a high poly object onto a low poly object. Code based on patch #7339 by
Frank Richter (Crystal Space developer), thanks!.
Normal Mapping
==============
Camera, World, Object and Tangent space is now supported for baking, and
for material textures. The "NMap TS" setting is replaced with a dropdown
of the four choices in the image texture buttons.
http://www.blender.org/development/current-projects/changes-since-244/render-baking/

-> Constraint Influence Ipo now can be local, linked to constraint itself
You enable this in the IpoWindow header, with the Action icon to the left
of the Ipo Type menu. The button tooltips give the clue as well.
Tech note: the Ipo now can get directly linked to a constraint, and is
being called during regular pose constraint solving.
Actions (and drivers in actions) are being calculated *before* pose
constraint solving. Result of actions then is written in bones, which
then solves the entire pose.
This means you can have a driver on both the constraint, as on the action
channel for the constraint! Not that I'm going to debug that easily :)
Additional fix: Joshua added a copy/paste IpoCurve feature, but he broke
the functionality to be able to paste in an empty ipo channel. That now
works again

purely topological symmetries and potential spatial symmetries that should be restored by merging symmetric arcs).
Also shortening the names in the UI a bit and some rewording or tool tips.
|
|
=========
- Fix for child particles disappearing with right mouse drag translation.
- Added partial cache updates for selection, should make it a bit faster.
|
|
=========
- Fix for bug in emission from vertices.
- Fix for undo/redo refresh glitch.
|
|
=========
Merge of the famous particle patch by Janne Karhu, a full rewrite
of the Blender particle system. This includes:
- Emitter, Hair and Reactor particle types.
- Newtonian, Keyed and Boids physics.
- Various particle visualisation and rendering types.
- Vertex group and texture control for various properties.
- Interpolated child particles from parents.
- Hair editing with combing, growing, cutting, .. .
- Explode modifier.
- Harmonic, Magnetic fields, and multiple falloff types.
.. and lots of other things, some more info is here:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/Particles_Rewrite
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/Particles_Rewrite_Doc
The new particle system cannot be backwards compatible. Old particle
systems are being converted to the new system, but will require
tweaking to get them looking the same as before.
Point Cache
===========
The new system to replace manual baking, based on automatic caching
on disk. This is currently used by softbodies and the particle system.
See the Cache API section on:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/PhysicsSprint
Documentation
=============
These new features still need good docs for the release logs, help
for this is appreciated.

This is much nicer than subdivision by angle but is somewhat less intuitive for users.
Added Bucket arc iterator, removing a lot of weird duplicated code in skeleton generator.
|
|
- Seperated StripData into
StripData
TStripData
where StripData holds only image-filenames and TStripData holds
the working information needed for ImBuf caching.
=> Large drop in memory usage, if you used a lot of movie and meta strips.
=> Fixed bugs in "duplicate" on the way (imbufs where copied around without
taking reference counting seriously...)
=> Code is much cleaner now
- Added defines for TStripData->ok
Finally figured out, what the magic values ment and named them properly :)
- Got rid of Sequence->curelem.
Reason: very bad idea(tm) for multi threading with more than one render
thread. Still not there, but this was a real show stopper on the way.

Adding symetry detection (right now, only primary symetries and only used to determine bone orientation).
Fixing bugs (infinite loops) in length based subdivisions.
Adding number of post processing passes parameter
|
|
Also an unrelated warning fix.
|
|
Support for using the axes of a different object as the line of mirror
symmetry for a mirror modifier. As a nice consequence, this allows
"clipping" to arbitrary planes in editmode.
A fun example of using a couple of mirror modifiers and an array
modifier to easily make a nice flower type model is here:

just the head or tail
Patch by: Roland Hess (harkyman)
For example, a constraint can be sub-targeted at the 50% (or 31.2% or 85% etc.) point of its target bone, giving you enormous rigging flexibility and removing the need for complex contraptions to do such things as:
- A bone whose base slides only between to points on a rig (CopyLoc with a variable, animated subtarget point)
- Bones that attach to multiple points along another bone (CopyLocs, each with a different head/tail percentage)
- Bones that need to stretch to a point midway between specific spots on two other bones (old way: too crazy to mention; new way: stretch bone between points on end bones, then another stretch to the midpoint of the first stretch)
It is only used for the constraint types for which it is relevant: CopyLoc, TrackTo, StretchTo and MinMax, TrackTo, and Floor.
Notes:
- This is accessed by the Head/Tail number-slider.
- This value can be animated per constraint
- The old "Copy Bone Tail" option for the CopyLoc constraint has been automatically converted to 1.0 Head/Bone values for the affected constraints
- In the code, this value is in the bConstraint struct, so it is available for all constraints, even though only a few implement it.

====================
Dynamic binding support. This means that the mesh can move _within_
the cage and still deform correct. If the mesh goes out of the cage,
don't expect correct result. Must be enabled with the 'Dynamic'
option, because it is slower and consumes more memory.
This is useful to use e.g. the cage mesh for main deformations and
still have shape keys for facial deformation working.
|
|
This fixes up angle based subdivisions, adds embedding post processing methods (before, only average was there, added smooth and sharpen).
More parameters are controllable through the UI.
|
|
|
|
This is very much a work in progress commit to allow me to work outside of home.
While it does somewhat work, I wouldn't recommend anyone to use it.
|
|
|
|
====================
The MeshDeform modifier can deform a mesh with another 'cage' mesh.
It is similar to a lattice modifier, but instead of being restricted
to the regular grid layout of a lattice, the cage mesh can be modeled
to fit the mesh better.
http://www.blender.org/development/current-projects/changes-since-244/modifiers/
Implementation Notes:
- OpenNL has been refactored a bit to allow least squares matrices to
be built without passing the matrix row by row, but instead with
random access. MDef doesn't need this actually, but it's using this
version of OpenNL so I'm just committing it now.
- Mean value weights for polygons have been added to arithb.c, a type
of barycentric coordinates for polygons with >= 3 vertices. This
might be useful for other parts of blender too.

Version patch for Constraints Refactor I was getting called for too many cases. This was noticeable in the way the StretchTo constraint got reset on loading.
|
|
==================
This adds an extra target to the IK solver constraint to define the
roll of the IK chain.
http://www.blender.org/development/current-projects/changes-since-244/inverse-kinematics/
Also fixes a crashes using ctrl+I to set an IK constraint on a bone
due to the recent constraints refactor.
|
|
Files saved with PyConstraints with multiple targets crashed on load, as the targets didn't actually get saved.
|
|
The list of changes (some are fixes):
- Properly horizontally centered tags in all fields (bug?).
- File area does not have trailing space and has leading "File " at
start instead (probably a bug).
- Small separation between to time related fields, space saving.
- Removed colons, for consistency and space saving again.
- Frame field is zero aligned for higher visual stability.
- Marker name shows a rarer name, "<none>" (using <> is typical for cases
in which there is nothing: <none>, <empty>, <blank>, etc).
- Top area for misc info that can be really long (file, note and render date).
- Bottom area for more constantly changing but short ones (marker, SMPTE,
frame, camera and scene).
- Only render date moves a line (when note field is not used), and frame one
moves if no SMPTE (still in same line, so no big jump), for extra visual
stability (marker is fixed, assuming most people would show frame and or
SMPTE).
- ISO 8601 date format for render date, localization independant.

Once again, I've recoded the constraints system. This time, the goals were:
* To make it more future-proof by 'modernising' the coding style. The long functions filled with switch statements, have given way to function-pointers with smaller functions for specific purposes.
* To make it support constraints which use multiple targets more readily that it did. In the past, it was assumed that constraints could only have at most one target.
As a result, a lot of code has been shuffled around, and modified. Also, the subversion number has been bumped up.
Known issues:
* PyConstraints, which were the main motivation for supporting multiple-targets, are currently broken. There are some bimport() error that keeps causing problems. I've also temporarily removed the doDriver support, although it may return in another form soon.
* Constraints BPy-API is currently has a few features which currently don't work yet
* Outliner currently only displays the names of the constraints instead of the fancy subtarget/target/constraint-name display it used to do. What gets displayed here needs further investigation, as the old way was certainly not that great (and is not compatible with the new system too)

Fixed fixup code in readfile, that makes old files load with
correct FPS.
|
|
This adds fractional FPS support to blender and should finally
make NTSC work correctly.
NTSC has an FPS of 30.0/1.001 which is approximately 29.97 FPS.
Therefore, it is not enough to simply make frs_sec a float, since
you can't represent this accurately enough.
I added a seperate variable frs_sec_base and FPS is now
frs_sec / frs_sec_base.
I changed all the places, where frs_sec was used to my best knowledge.
For convenience sake, I added several macros, that should make life
easier in the future:
FRA2TIME(a) : convert frame number to a double precision time in seconds
TIME2FRA(a) : the same in the opposite direction
FPS : return current FPS as a double precision number
(last resort)
This closes bug #6715
Standard framerates not supported / breaks sync -- 23.967 29.967 etc.
https://projects.blender.org/tracker/?func=detail&aid=6715&group_id=9&atid=125
Please give this heavy testing with NTSC files, quicktime in/export
and the python interface.
Errors are most probably only spotted on longer timelines, so that is
also important.
The patch was tested by Troy Sobotka and me, so it most probably should
work out of the box, but wider testing is important, since errors are
very subtle.
Enjoy!

metadata and optionally
draws into the
frame.
This patch includes some changes I made...
* use blenders bitmap fonts (rather then own fonts)
* select font size
* user interface layout changes
* Marker as another image stamp option
Also added some new API calls
BMF_GetFontHeight(font);
BMF_DrawStringBuf(...); - so we can draw text into an imbuf's image buffer.
get_frame_marker(frame) - get the last marker from the frame.
IMB_rectfill_area(...) - fill in an image buffer with a rectangle area of color.
TODO - draw stamp info in 3d view, at the moment it just displays in the animation.

B-Bones already deformed the mesh in the armature rest position, which is
unconvenient. For backwards compatibility existing .blend files still have
a button for the old behavior enabled.

- activated image browser for texture databrowse (texture buttons)
- activated image browser for brush texture databrowse (+small fix of callback function)
- activated image browser for image databrowse in UV/image editor
- fixed: filter didn't work with databrowse and append/link.
- filter buttons in header now don't appear when doing databrowse or append/link
- loading previews for textures added when linking/appending.

image) - useful when editing UV coords with textures that have been resized to values that run fast in openGL (256/512/1024) but have lost their original aspect ratio, especially useful when rotating UV's.
Bumped the subversion to 2, so the default aspect is set to 1:1.
Made "Repeat Image" option time image drawing and bail out early if its taking too long. (quater of a sec max) this could be avoided if the texture was drawn on a quad, but that wouldnt support other image draw options.
This is a good short term solution because it was possibly to lock up blender if you zoomed out a long way then enabled "Repeat Image".

I blame the 2.45 version-raising!

This adds some new lamp attenuation options to the Lamp panel, replacing the old 'Quad' button. Yes, the panel layout is still nasty here, but I've ignored it for now to address properly in the panels cleanup work.
* Constant
http://mke3.net/blender/devel/rendering/falloff-constant.jpg
Lamp doesn't decay with distance
* Inverse Linear
http://mke3.net/blender/devel/rendering/falloff-invlinear.jpg
Default, and same as in older Blender without 'Quad' on. Decays linearly, with 'Dist' value as the lamp's half-energy-distance
* Inverse Square
http://mke3.net/blender/devel/rendering/falloff-invsquare.jpg
A sharper, more realistic decay, good for most electric lights (i.e. not sunlight). This is similar to the old Quad option with slight changes.
* Lin/Quad weighted
Exactly the same as in older Blenders with the old 'Quad' button enabled. When this setting is chosen, two sliders are shown, 'Linear' and 'Quad' (previously Quad1 and Quad2), which controls the 'linearness' or 'quadraticness' of the falloff curve. Lamps in old files with the 'Quad' button on will be initialised to this setting.
But much better for precise control over the lamp falloff now is:
* Custom Curve
This shows an extra 'Falloff Curve' panel, where you can use the standard Blender curve UI control to precisely control how the light falls off. The Y axis is intensity, and the X axis is distance, stretched over the length of the 'Dist' value.
Some example curves and renders:
