in the UI
This is the second part of the fixes for [#32492], making it easier to identify
which part of a driver (i.e. which of its targets) is causing problems
A number of additional/related changes needed to be made:
* Red-alert status for layouts is now propagated down to child layouts when they
are created. This is needed as otherwise some of the templates used in the Graph
Editor driver settings won't actually get the red-alert status flushed down to
them. Also, note that this status needs to be set before any widgets are added
to the layout, or else the settings aren't applied when the relevant widgets get
created.
* "Single Property" RNA-Paths resulting in out of bounds array access will now
trigger an error status and appropriate warnings
TODO:
* The error tagging doesn't get applied immediately after variables are created,
or their types changed
* There was also some other weirdness involved when a higher-value flag (1<<10)
was used for this setting, which needs further attention

*Add a new idname to keyingsets, keeping name as label-only (using same string for both made lookup fail when using i18n other than english, as it tried to compare an untranslated static string id against a translated RNA name). Also adding a description string (can be helpful with custom keyingsets, imho).
*Fixed a few other bugs related to that area (namely, you can’t deselect current keyingset from the shift-ctrl-alt-I popup menu, and insert/delete key ops were using a rather strange way to get chosen custom keyingset…).
*Fixed UI code so that it always uses (RNA) enum, and simplified menu-creation code.

Speaker objects fully functional!
Minor changes:
* Fixed three memory bugs found via valgrind.
* Fixed bug with jack transport crashing after file loading.
* Sound NLA Strips now start at CFRA instead of 0.
|
|
These are basically just for specifying when a speaker should fire off
it's soundclip, and as such, many NLA operations are irrelevant for
it. They can only be specified on object-level for speaker objects.
I've still got some UI tweaks I'll need to work on in order for these
to be able to be added even when the speaker doesn't have any NLA
tracks yet. (EDIT: while typing this, I had an idea for how to do
this, but that'll be for next commit). In the mean time, you'll need
to add a single keyframe for the object, snowflake that action and
delete the NLA strip before you can start editing.

handle/key
This used to be a weird per-curve setting which would happen to get
applied/work correctly if handles were set to "auto", and was a source
of constant confusion for both old and new animators. The main effect
of this handle-type/option was really to just ensure that auto-handles
stayed horizontal, instead of tilting as the keys were moved.
This commit simply changes this from a per-curve to per
keyframe/handle setting.

By popular demand, the "Transformation Channel" driver variable type
now has a "local space" transform space option which uses the same
magic that constraints use for defining local-space. This is what many
bug reporters and feature requesters have moaned about for a while
now, so after reviewing several of the bug reports which lead to the
current situation, here is what has been much-wanted for so long!
In order to implement this, I've:
- renamed the old "Local Space" option here to "Transformation Space",
in order to prevent old rigs breaking. This has also been kept, as it
is useful for #21384 (though perhaps with this new option it isn't
needed anymore)
- reviewed my fix for #20870 (IIRC, a Durian-era bug), which related
to the non-uniqueness of matrix->euler decomposition

Following on from my commit to introduce frame ranges for FModifiers,
those frame ranges can now have blend in/out values. By setting a
blendin or blendout value, you're specifying the number of frames for
the modifier's "full influence" to take effect or fade out relative to
the start/end frames.
The "full influence" above needs a little clarification.
When the "use influence" setting is enabled, "full influence" is taken
from the "influence" slider (a new setting). Otherwise, it uses 1.0
(i.e. unmodified influence, same as old behaviour before the
introduction of influence controls). The influence slider basically
says how much the modifier's effects are allowed to contribute to the
final result.
---
Notes:
- This opt-in "Use Influence" approach is really forced upon us
because there are heaps of old files for which we cannot easily
version patch without spending some effort going through all the data
in the file, hunting out the F-Modifiers.
- interpf() seems to use a backwards order compared to everything else
|
|
Using this feature, it is now possible to for example have different
noise-profiles for different parts of a curve, which makes it possible
to do animate camera shake for example.
Or perhaps, for having greater control of mixing and matching
different parts of F-Modifier effects, such as combining several
generator modifiers to get multi-case functions for instance.

- Adding drivers from the UI (not from py-scripts though) will now
automatically add a "Transform Channel" driver variable to the newly
created drivers. This makes setting up drivers a bit more convenient
for the most commonly used case.
- Drivers now report their errors using the Reports system instead of
writing these directly to the console.
- Clarified some comments to be more insightful about the "why's" of
some design decisions, and related formatting/cleanup tweaks
- Reduced scope of "path" vars to just the scope they're required in
- Removed some unused defines from a failed experiment in the original
Keying Sets code ("templates" and "template flags") which was
superseeded by the more flexible + nicer "Builtin KeyingSets"

This commit restores the ability to reorder channels in the animation editors (DopeSheet/Action/etc., Graph/Drivers, NLA). The hotkeys for this are:
- Shift-PageUp = Move Up
- Shift-PageDown = Move Down
- Ctrl-Shift-PageUp = Move to Top of List
- Ctrl-Shift-PageDown = Move to Bottom of List
Do note that only animation data can get reordered using this.
So, do not expect to be able to change the object order (that is actually taken from the order that Blender actually evaluates them per update/frame).
---
In the process, I've fixed a couple of other bugs:
* Removed 'optimisation step' check in anim_filter.c for dopesheet with no filtering options modified, since this meant that the ANIMFILTER_ANIMDATA data filter was not getting processed (and potentially there were other maintenance problems with that).
* Made NLA Editor's channel list not totally duplicate the basic Animation Channels keymap. Instead, the "NLA Channels" keymap now only defines the parts that are different, and this then gets specified before the standard one so that these different parts will override the standard ones.
* Attempted to fix BorderSelect on NLA Channels list. Still not totally working correctly yet though.
* Moved "Euler Discontinuity" menu entry from "Channels" to "Keys". It really belongs in the latter, since it affects the keyframe values, rather than some aspect of the channel (i.e. ordering of channels or how they're displayed)

This commit started out aiming to make the "Stepped" F-Modifier (committed last night) even more useful, but ended up fixing a few other finer-points of how F-Modifiers work.
Firstly, the new stuff:
I've addded options to the Stepped F-Modifier to not affect frames before and/or after specified values, and renamed the 'start offset' to 'offset' for clarity.
The main objective of this is to allow Stepped F-Modifiers to only affect certain time ranges, so that by layering/using multiple instances of the F-Modifier, it can be possible to have multiple stepping-sizes.
This allows for effects like:
http://www.pasteall.org/blend/2230
or in words, it provides a convenient mechanism for animators to specify whether sections of the animation is shown "on twos", "fours", or even "forty-second-ths plus a smidgen", as can be easily done with 2D.
Assorted changes to support this:
* Properly fixed up how F-Modifiers that work with time, evaluate the time to evaluate the curve at. Now layered time effects like this should be possible in a much nicer way.
* Added proper value range validation/clamping to many properties. There are still a lot more that need checking, but at least more properties now do "the right thing".
|
|
* Copy/Paste operators for F-Modifiers
Available in Graph and NLA Editors. Use the Copy/Paste buttons beside the 'Add Modifier' buttons.
Copy copies all the modifiers of the ACTIVE F-Curve or Strip depending on the editor.
Paste pastes modifiers from the buffer to all the selected F-Curves or Strips, adding the new modifiers to the ends of each list.
* 'Stepped Interpolation' F-Modifier
This modifier holds each interpolated value from the F-Curve for several frames without changing the timing.
This allows to preview motions 'on-twos' for example without altering the timing, or having to go through setting heaps of keyframes. In this case, Andy wanted to use this for CG <-> StopMo.

After a few days of wrong turns and learning the finer points of RNA-type-subclassing the hard way, this commit finally presents a refactored version of the Keying Sets system (now version 2) based on some requirements from Cessen.
For a more thorough discussion of this commit, see
http://sites.google.com/site/aligorith/keyingsets_2.pdf?attredirects=0&d=1
------
The main highlight of this refactor is that relative Keying Sets have now been recoded so that Python callbacks are run to generate the Keying Set's list of paths everytime the Keying Set is used (to insert or delete keyframes), allowing complex heuristics to be used to determine whether a property gets keyframed based on the current context. These checks may include checking on selection status of related entities, or transform locks.
Built-In KeyingSets have also been recoded, and moved from C and out into Python. These are now coded as Relative Keying Sets, and can to some extent serve as basis for adding new relative Keying Sets. However, these have mostly been coded in a slightly 'modular' way which may be confusing for those not so familiar with Python in general. A usable template will be added soon for more general usage.
Keyframing settings (i.e. 'visual', 'needed') can now be specified on a per-path basis now, which is especially useful for Absolute Keying Sets, where control over this is often beneficial.
Most of the places where Auto-Keyframing is performed have been tidied up for consistency. I'm sure quite a few issues still exist there, but these I'll clean up over the next few days.
|

Added a new option to filter the out Object-level (i.e. transforms, object visibility/settings, and also bone animation) animation data from the channels list. As most of these settings are transforms, I've used the transform manipulator icon and named the RNA setting display_transforms.
This is useful when trying to filter out only material animation data for example, as requested by Colin.

F-Curves now internally store radians again instead of degrees.
- This solves problems with inconsistencies when working with drivers.
- No need to version patch old files, potentially screwing them up. As such, removed the version patching for F-Curves.
- Is better suited to optionally showing radians throughout the UI instead or degrees.
As a result, values are now converted on the fly in the Graph Editor for display and operators that operate on values. I've made the conversion system for this rather general, so that other unit type conversions can also be hooked up with the type conversion backend.
Also, made some tweaks to F-Curve RNA wrapping to make it represent the data better.
TODO:
- Transform code currently still needs to be corrected to work with these changes. Currently moving keyframes for rotation curves will make them change too rapidly vertically when using degrees.
|

Rotations are now stored internally as radians, while exposing degrees in the UI -
in the graph editor and UI controls. This is done in two areas:
1) Using the unit system to convert RNA data to display as degrees in the UI controls
2) FCurves now use degrees for rotation, so you can edit in the graph editor what
you see in the UI.
All rotation data is consistently accessible in DNA and RNA as radians, degrees are only
used for the UI controls and graph editor.
This commit includes conversions will convert old files (stored data and also fcurve data)
to the new units, hopefully everything should go smoothly!
Part of this also changes a few properties that were hard-coded as degrees before (such
as IK pole angle and brush texture rotation) to also use the same consistent system of
radians (dna/rna) and degrees (ui).
Thanks to Joshua for hints and review here too.

Feature request for ZanQdo, which shows the intermediate values used in driver calculations (i.e. current value of driver, and current value of variables), allowing drivers expressions to be debugged. This is a per-driver setting...

for drivers, which will cause files that include drivers and saved since
then to crash on load, and loading existing files to crash as well. This
commit fixes that problem. So, don't use builds from revision 25736-25743.
The problem is this line, SDNA does not support parsing #defines:
DriverTarget targets[MAX_DRIVER_TARGETS];

* Fixed Driver version-patching code to work correctly again with the new system.
* Fix for bug #20484, by adding a new driver variable type ('Transform Channel') which makes it easier to use object/bone transforms as in the past. The main differences with using this (compared with the 'Single Prop' type) are that this allows for 'final' transforms to get used instead (i.e. constraints are also taken into account), and also that this variable type can only be used for transforms (more limited scope -> less flexibility -> point-n-click goodies can follow). Mancandy now loads correctly again.
* Added toggle for local vs worldspace transforms when working with Rot/Loc Diff variable types, and also for the newly added Transform Channel
* Removed some dead code from sequencer...
|

Highlights:
* Support for Multi-Target Variables
This was the main reason for this recode. Previously, variables could only be used to give some RNA property used as an input source to the driver a name. However, this meant that effects such as Rotational Difference couldn't be used in conjunction with other effects and/or settings to achieve the powerful results. Now, a variable can take several input targets, perform some interesting operations on them, and spit out a representative value based on that.
* New Variable Types
With the introduction of multi-target variables, there are now 3 types of variable that can be used: single property (i.e. the only type previously), Rotational Difference (angle between two bones), and Distance (distance between two objects or bones).
* New Driver Types
In addition to the existing 'Average', 'Sum', and 'Expression' types, there is now the additional options of 'Minimum' and 'Maximum'. These take the smallest/largest value that one of the variables evaluates to.
* Fix for Driver F-Curve colouring bug
Newly added drivers did not get automatically coloured in the Graph Editor properly. Was caused by inappropriate notifiers being used.
Notes:
* This commit breaks existing 2.5 files with drivers (in other words, they are lost forever).
* Rigify has been corrected to work with the new system. The PyAPI for accessing targets used for the variables could still be made nicer (using subclassing to directly access?), but that is left for later.
* Version patching for 2.49 files still needs to be put back in place.

24759) due to unusability and performance issues. The ability to use a sound as animation source will be added as an import operator later that renders a sound to an f-curve which brings the advantage that you can edit the generated curve later and the disadvantage it is not automatically updated when the sound changes.
|
|
'B' border select
This bug was caused by my recent commit to get bone select -> selection syncing working. The selection flushing was occurring too readily, blocking any selection tools from having any visible effect. Now this syncing is only triggered when appropriate notifiers+flags have been set.
|
|
Added option to KeyingSets+Keyframing Functions which makes newly added F-Curves for Transforms + Colours to use the colour mode which uses the array index to determine the colour of the F-Curve.
The main implication of this is that when this option is enabled for a KeyingSet, all sets of XYZ F-Curves (i.e. location, rotation, scale) for transforms will be shown in Red/Green/Blue instead of some automatically determined "rainbow" colour. Useful for animators far too used to Maya's Graph Editor :P
This setting is named, "XYZ to RGB", though that doesn't make its purpose entirely clear.

Added new template for choosing to use any type of ID-block. The first combo box allows you to choose the type of ID-block that gets used, and the second box allows you to choose the ID-block of the type specified by the first one.
This is currently used for setting the ID-block used for Keying Sets, but the main user for this was intended to be the Drivers UI. However, I still need to clear up a few button-event issues there before I can port this over.
Additional Bugfixes:
* Adding new Keying Set path was setting the active path wrong, meaning that you had to click on the list to get some response after adding
* Bone Groups list was being drawn too long by default (when empty)
|
|
Added a way to view and edit Keying Sets via the Scene Buttons. These are still some tweaks needed to make this really workable, but should still work well enough for simply viewing and tweaking existing Keying Sets created using other means.
Additional bugfixes:
* Adjusted the size of labels on properties that had a 'label' for their name. Now it uses 1/3 of the total width instead, which looks much better for most cases.
* Added missing entries for adding Force Fields from the Info-header 'Add' menu. At some point we should unify this menu with the popup operator's one, since this is exactly the kind of situation we had hoped in avoid with new UI architectures.
* Moved all the operator defines for keyframing stuff to the 'intern' anim header instead

This (biggish) commit generalises the rotation modes functionality added for Bones, allowing Objects to use the various Euler Rotation orders, Axis-Angle, and Quaternion rotation representations.
I've also cleaned up the nomenclature of the rotation-related settings so that the naming styles are more consistent with each other. Unfortunately, this will break all files involving object or bone rotation animation made in 2.5 versions (2.4x will still get correctly converted).
General Notes:
* By default, Objects still default to using Eulers, while Bones will use Quaternions by default still.
* I've fixed all areas that I'm currently aware of to work with these changes. However, there are probably a few places where I've missed a few changes (i.e. auto-keyframing will need attention later).
* Removed the old "IPO-Keys" stuff from Transform code. I'm unlikely to restore this in the near future, and trying to fix that to include support for this commit would have been too much work.
|
|
Main Feature:
* It is now possible to choose which AnimData block is the 'active' one for editing, and/or select them too. AnimData blocks are generally the dark blue and lighter-blue expanders (i.e. Scene, Object, Camera, Lamp, Curve, Armature, etc.)
* Objects are no longer selected/deselected when AKEY is used to toggle selection of channels. This was getting a bit annoying.
* Following on from selection of AnimData blocks, it is now possible to select/make active an AnimData block in the animation editors, and change the active action for that block via the 'Animation Data' panel in NLA Editor's properties region.
--> Be aware that user-counts are not totally handled correctly there yet, so some funky behaviour might be seen...
--> It is possible to assign a new action, or to assign an existing one, allowing to switch between actions as in the past with Actions/IPO Editors...
Other tweaks:
* Some code tweaks towards making the 'Euler Filter' feature for Graph Editor working sometime soon
* Added some backend code for snapping the values of keyframes to a single value. Still need to work out some UI for it though.
* Shuffled the code for ACT_OT_new() around, and removed the poll() callback so that it worked in NLA too.
* Fixed some more notifier bugs with deleting bones and a few other editmode operations for Armatures.

properly using built-in keyingsets (i.e. the IKEY menu in 3D-View)
|
|
* When doing realtime recording of animation (i.e. transforming objects + bones while animation playback is running, and auto-keying is enabled), animation will be added to a new NLA Track+Strip combo everytime a single 'loop' of the frame range has finished. This will allow 'passes' over the animation to be less destructive.
* Made the evaluation of the active action (when NLA data is present), be handled as part of the normal NLA system evaluation code (as if it were just another strip in a track at the end). The immediate benefit is that there are now some settings (available in the "Animation Data" panel in the NLA Editor with a strip selected) which allow for the way the active action is combined with the NLA stack results. For instance, the way that the action extrapolates is used in the recording tweaks above.
