* Collapse selected channels should now work for most channels. It still doesn't work for Action Groups for some reason...
* Objects are now deemed to only be selected in Animation Editors if the are selected (i.e. if they are active but not selected, they are no longer considered to be selected)
* Outliner updates when scrubbing the TimeLine. As a consequence, anim playback with an Outliner open is a bit slower now.
|
|
- Completed cleaning up the drawing code so that F-Curves with modifiers now get drawn to reflect this.
- Added a temporary operator to add modifiers (hotkey Ctrl-Shift-M)
|
|
* When inserting keyframes, newly created groups are no longer created with expanded + active flags set. The former should work better and keep the views less crowded by default when there are many F-Curves.
* Fixed crash when trying to select action groups. This only seemed to happen in one of the BBB files...
* Settings that have been tagged in RNA as being un-animateable are now ignored when creating Keying Sets.
* Removed some un-needed old code from keyframing code. I've still left in the old-style builtin KeyingSets from about 2.48, since those will be useful reference when setting up the new builtin KeyingSets.
* Removed obsolete correction factor for Visual Keying -> object rotations.

of its Material datablocks, they will now get included too.
This makes it possible to edit keyframes for material animation where no object-linked animation exists. However, this is provided that the material is linked to an object!
|
|
Currently, this is just used to print the 'name' of the active F-Curve in a panel for verification purposes. This is the recommended way of getting this info.
|
|
* Removed unnecessary define for context loop (editable posechannels)
* Fixed crash in animation-channel filtering - missing check for no world animation.
|
|
* Scene and World AnimDatas are now included in animation editors
* Keyframes for integer-value settings now get the FCURVE_INT_VALUES flag set for their F-Curves, which restricts those curves to only having integer-values. F-Curve displays have been altered accordingly, but some editing tools may still need tweaks to work with this.
* Fixed notifiers for Insert Keyframe -> Active Keying Set.
|
|
F-Curves can now be hidden/shown in the Graph Editor in one of 3 ways:
* Specialised VKEY toggle hotkey, which alters the visibility of all selected F-Curves
* The setting toggle operators (Shift-W, Alt-W, Ctrl-Shift-W)
* Checkmark (*1) boxes in front of names of F-Curves
This allows irrelevant curves to be hidden from the keyframes area only if you want them hidden. By default, all curves are visible. Also note that a separate hotkey is used now for toggling visibility (VKEY) instead of lumping it under select-all (AKEY) as in the past, which was a major cause of confusion.
Notes:
1) I've used the ICON_BLANK011 and ICON_BLANK012 icons, which in the current icon set are two states for a checkbox type thing. These defines should probably get renamed sometime, but I'll leave that up to Matt.
|
|
* Drivers view in Graph Editor now displays drivers only, instead of displaying normal Animation data.
* 'Materials' channel is now only shown under an Object when there are Materials with animation data...
* Hid more debug prints behind debug flag. These should be removed...
|
|
* Objects parented to bones now load correctly again (so Mancandy no longer looks like he had a run-in with a lawn mulcher). Was caused by a typo. I'm not sure how that got in there (or who did it)
* Action/Graph Editors would crash when loading files with Materials with some drivers.
|
|
* Copied files containing code for tools from Action Editor to use as a base for the Graph Editor's tools. The toolsets are now very similar, so it should just be a case of making a few tweaks here and there. Currently all of these tools are #if-def'd out, as there are still a few things to clean up.
(BUILDSYSTEM MAINTAINERS BEWARE!)
* Tweaked some UI stuff (width of mode selector in header, names in the spacetype choosing menu)
* Fixed a few bugs which were causing crashes when loading old files with IPO Editors open.

This commit brings back the drawing code for the 'Graph Editor'. I've decided to call it this, as currently it can show either F-Curves for Animation stored in Actions, or F-Curves for Drivers.
Currently, it shows all curves, since some of the necessary filtering code (i.e. for limiting curve visibility) hasn't been put in place yet. At least this serves as good proof that we can have F-Curves from multiple sources at least.
It should be noted that the code still has to be modified to work with some of the new Animato features, such as F-Curve Modifiers (cycles are an example of one of the features that use this). Also, a nicer way to set the colours of the curves needs to be investigated.
Notes:
* Fixed a few bugs in RNA User-Preferences wrapping
* The keyframe drawing uses the new-style drawing for handles from AnimSys2. There's a minor bug that sometimes occurs, where a distorted handle gets drawn at the origin of the grid on the first run. Hints anyone?
* Removed most of the old data from SpaceIpo struct, as the new code uses that. Maybe later, the directories/files at least should get renamed.
* Removed ancient hack for NVidia/TNT drivers. It is probably no longer needed, but could be restored if someone needs it.
|
|
* Made the various datatypes in the DopeSheet get shown again (NOTE: some of the types that don't get conversions to Animato yet may need some further checking).
* Did some code cleanup to allow F-Curve channels to always show RNA-based names correctly
|
|
* Fixed bug in with RNA-paths. String identifiers (i.e. some_collection["somekey"]) were not getting handled at all due to wrong indices it seems. I don't know of any other code using this, so hopefully there aren't any unintended bugs caused by this.
This means that bone animation now works again.
* Added a few more sanity checks to file-reading code, and heaps of extra prints everywhere else for debugging purposes (these will be removed in due course).
|
|
* Streamlined the filtering code to remove a few redundant options, which required tweaking the code for most tools
* F-Curves are simply displayed using their full paths right now. This should eventually be the UI-string stored in RNA, but right now there are still a few missing things.
* There are a few tools which are not available yet which were available in 2.5 before Animato was added:
- Copy/Paste
- Rearrange channels
Also, the DopeSheet is not totally functional (in terms of displaying animation data for sub-object data yet). That will be added tomorrow.
* Added 'Action Group' pointer to F-Curves, as it will be handy for allowing Bone channels to still remain grouped as they were before with the Action Channels. However, reintroducing such a structure to the data-storage is not anticipated...

Finally, here is the basic (functional) prototype of the new animation system which will allow for the infamous "everything is animatable", and which also addresses several of the more serious shortcomings of the old system. Unfortunately, this will break old animation files (especially right now, as I haven't written the version patching code yet), however, this is for the future.
Highlights of the new system:
* Scrapped IPO-Curves/IPO/(Action+Constraint-Channels)/Action system, and replaced it with F-Curve/Action.
- F-Curves (animators from other packages will feel at home with this name) replace IPO-Curves.
- The 'new' Actions, act as the containers for F-Curves, so that they can be reused. They are therefore more akin to the old 'IPO' blocks, except they do not have the blocktype restriction, so you can store materials/texture/geometry F-Curves in the same Action as Object transforms, etc.
* F-Curves use RNA-paths for Data Access, hence allowing "every" (where sensible/editable that is) user-accessible setting from RNA to be animated.
* Drivers are no longer mixed with Animation Data, so rigs will not be that easily broken and several dependency problems can be eliminated. (NOTE: drivers haven't been hooked up yet, but the code is in place)
* F-Curve modifier system allows useful 'large-scale' manipulation of F-Curve values, including (I've only included implemented ones here): envelope deform (similar to lattices to allow broad-scale reshaping of curves), curve generator (polynomial or py-expression), cycles (replacing the old cyclic extrapolation modes, giving more control over this). (NOTE: currently this cannot be tested, as there's not access to them, but the code is all in place)
* NLA system with 'tracks' (i.e. layers), and multiple strips per track. (NOTE: NLA system is not yet functional, as it's only partially coded still)
There are more nice things that I will be preparing some nice docs for soon, but for now, check for more details:
http://lists.blender.org/pipermail/bf-taskforce25/2009-January/000260.html
So, what currently works:
* I've implemented two basic operators for the 3D-view only to Insert and Delete Keyframes. These are tempolary ones only that will be replaced in due course with 'proper' code.
* Object Loc/Rot/Scale can be keyframed. Also, the colour of the 'active' material (Note: this should really be for nth material instead, but that doesn't work yet in RNA) can also be keyframed into the same datablock.
* Standard animation refresh (i.e. animation resulting from NLA and Action evaluation) is now done completely separate from drivers before anything else is done after a frame change. Drivers are handled after this in a separate pass, as dictated by depsgraph flags, etc.
Notes:
* Drivers haven't been hooked up yet
* Only objects and data directly linked to objects can be animated.
* Depsgraph will need further tweaks. Currently, I've only made sure that it will update some things in the most basic cases (i.e. frame change).
* Animation Editors are currently broken (in terms of editing stuff). This will be my next target (priority to get Dopesheet working first, then F-Curve editor - i.e. old IPO Editor)
* I've had to put in large chunks of XXX sandboxing for old animation system code all around the place. This will be cleaned up in due course, as some places need special review.
In particular, the particles and sequencer code have far too many manual calls to calculate + flush animation info, which is really bad (this is a 'please explain yourselves' call to Physics coders!).

* Added the relevant filtering necessary for this to work, into the animation-channel filtering code.
* Updated most of the keyframe-editing tools to respect this
* Renamed keyframe-editing API loopers (added ANIM_ prefix) for consistency
* Added function for mapping keyframes to/from NLA-mapping for Ipo-Curves in addition to the one for IPO blocks. As a result, renamed the latter for consistency.

Remove context pointer from transform code. Solved the need for this by modifying the code that needed it.
|
|
Note: there were some crashes that would occur if context was not reset everytime the modal callback was run. Probably there's something about the context info we need to be more careful about.

User Notes (for using tools whose behaviour has changed):
* Mouse Selection Tools:
1) Click on keyframe to modify its selection. Holding the 'Shift' modifier when doing so, will result in keyframe selection being toggled instead of replacing existing selections.
2) Click on either side of the current frame indicator while holding the 'Alt' modifier. This will select only all the keyframes on the relevant side of the current frame indicator.
3) Click on a keyframe while holding the 'Ctrl' modifier. This will select all the keyframes that fall on that frame.
* Borderselect Tools
1) BKEY selects all the keyframes within the specified range (as per normal)
2) ALT-BKEY will select either all the keyframes in the frame-range specified or the channel range specified, depending on which axis of the select region was larger. This method is prejudiced towards frame-range selection.
Code Notes:
* Finished porting over all of the remaining keyframe selection tools, and recoded the ported ones to make them easier to use (after running into some technical limitations)
* Simplified the way to check if 'animation context' is valid by moving a necessary check into that function.
* Refactored internal keyframe-looping tools to reduce the amount of code needed per tool to edit keyframes, removing a lot of the unnecessary bulk. Now, the ipo/icu_keys_bezier_loop functions recieve a few more arguments (1st arg is pointer to generic customdata, and another defines a validation callback which makes it easier to reuse some of the select callbacks).
* Added 'totrect' adjustment for number of channels being shown in Action Editor, so that scrolling will be limited to where there is data (and also so that scroller displays more relevant context info).
For this to work, filtering channels now returns the number of channels extracted. This may come into use for other tools if there's such a need.
* I still need to port over some code for markers, which is required for some of the tools which use them. For now, those tools do nothing.
* Grease-Pencil editing mode in Action Editor is currently non-functional (code is commented out due to missing dependencies). This is currently pending the re-implementation of Grease Pencil in 2.5

It is now possible to select individual keyframes again in the Action Editor.
* Temporarily disabled markers keymap in Action Editor, as it was stealing all the events. Waiting for solution from Ton...
* Fixed a crash and wrong coordinate conversion errors
|
|
* Brought back backend for editing keyframes IPO/IPO-Curves. Did some refactoring work here that will still have to be verified when operators using them are added.
* Animation channel filtering code now returns the number of channels filtered (for Action Editor to set totrect of channels - TODO still!)
* View2D - made function to check if mouse is in View2D scrollers an API function
* Renamed keyframe related files. The old names were too clumsy.
* Started porting click-select operators for Action Editor. These don't work currently, as the events are being stolen by the markers. This needs to be fixed ASAP.

Initial commit of drawing code for Action Editor / Dopesheet. By default, the Dopesheet is now enabled (like in AnimSys2). There are still a few unresolved problems (like bad alpha blending for icons, and keyframes still not being drawn). However, these will be resolved in due course.
|
|
Brought back the Filtering API for Animation Editors. This is the 'backbone' of the current Action/Dopesheet Editor code, so it is essential to have this working.
|
|
* Fixed current frame number drawing in Animation Editors, so that the little frame number indicator box gets shown (animsys2 feature).
* Made all Animation Editors draw markers and preview range
|
|
DONE:
* moved almost all declarations from BLI_blenlib.h into their own proper header files.
* BLI_blenlib.h still includes all the declarations for convenience and to avoid changes in existing code
* split util.c into several files, where it wasn't done already
* DynamicList -> dynamiclist,
* ListBase -> listbase,
* String utility functions -> string.c
* removed a few unused macros and functions, if they're needed back, they're still in svn ;)
TODO:
* btempdir global
* further cleanup in the code of the different modules (especially util.c)
|
|
* Added new 'Animation' submodule under Editors. This will be used to house all code + features that are used by many different Animation Editors (Action/Dopesheet and IPO) as well as other parts of Blender.
* Added back some of the core code need by the Action/Dopesheet editor, which will also be used by IPO Editor.
* Brought back file for keyframing management code (i.e. keyframing.c), but there's still quite a lot of missing stuff that I'll need to restore, so in the meantime, it's #if 0'd out.
* Moved markers code to this new module (I'm not sure whether SVN will recognise this change, as TortoiseSVN doesn't seem to have any obvious copy/move commands)
