This commit/patch/branch brings a bunch of powerful new options for B-Bones and
for working with B-Bones, making it easier for animators to create their own
rigs, using fewer bones (which also means hopefully lighter + faster rigs ;)
This functionality was first demoed by Daniel at BConf15
Some highlights from this patch include:
* You can now directly control the shape of B-Bones using a series of properties
instead of being restricted to trying to indirectly control them through the
neighbouring bones. See the "Bendy Bones" panel...
* B-Bones can be shaped in EditMode to define a "curved rest pose" for the bone.
This is useful for things like eyebrows and mouths/eyelids
* You can now make B-Bones use custom bones as their reference bone handles,
instead of only using the parent/child bones. To do so, enable the
"Use Custom Reference Handles" toggle. If none are specified, then the BBone will
only use the Bendy Bone properties.
* Constraints Head/Tail option can now slide along the B-Bone shape, instead of
just linearly interpolating between the endpoints of the bone.

New Bone option: "Relative Parenting".
This makes Child-Objects of Bones transform similar to how deformations
of bones are calculated. Allows to move bones in editmode to set pivot.
The option is in Bone Panel, with clear label.
It is ON now by default when you add new bones

finally works
This commit finally hooks up the Mask Modifier's "Armature" option with the
relevant depsgraph updates on bone selection. Hence, this feature finally works
as it was originally intended - that is, bone selections can be used to control
which parts of the mesh that the mask modifier is applied to are displayed,
giving riggers more freedom to experiment with rigs that don't necessarily
feature overbearing/cluttering widgets.
Regarding the implementation ("has_viz_deps" flag):
This feature is just the "tip of the iceberg" of a number of related set of
rigging/visual animation tools I've had in mind for a while now (dating back to
the introduction of this modifier). Key considerations
- Not all rigs will use this, so we don't want an extra (depsgraph-flush +
search) recalc cost for those that don't use this.
- There are some planned features which will also use this

This commit extends limit of ID and objects to 64 (it means 63 meaning
characters and 1 for zero-terminator). CustomData layers names are also
extended.
Changed DNA structures and all places where length constants were hardcoded.
All names which are "generating" from ID block should be limited by MAX_ID_NAME-2,
all non-id names now has got own define called MAX_NAME which should be used all
over for non-id names to make further name migration stuff easier.
All name fields in DNA now have comment with constant which corresponds to
hardcoded numeric value which should make it easier to further update this
limits or even switch to non-hardcoded values in DNA.
Special thanks to Campbell who helped figuring out some issues and helped a lot
in finding all cases where hardcoded valued were still used in code.
Both of forwards and backwards compatibility is stored with blender versions newer
than January 5, 2011. Older versions had issue with placing null-terminator to
DNA strings on file load which will lead to some unpredictable behavior or even
crashes.

which can be found in the Armature's Skeleton panel by the Deform options. Before only Blender's armature_deform_verts() was used. Now users can choose a vertex deformation function that is optimized for the BGE. At the moment it is mostly a copy of armature_deform_verts() with various chunks of code removed, and the BLI_math code was replaced with Eigen2. In my test scene, the new function offered about a 40% improvement over armature_deform_verts() (17~19ms rasterizer to 11~12ms). The only current limitation that I'm aware of if that B-Bone segments are not supported in the BGE version, and I will probably leave it out. I would like to also limit the BGE version to 4 weights to make things easier for a GPU version, but this may just make things slower (sorting weights to find the top 4).

This is equivalent to using B-Bones which are all scaled to have
xwidth=zwidth=0, which can be useful to see how some limbs will bend,
without the overhead of blocks blocking the view or having to scale
down bone sizes first.

documentation done.

mostly replace strcpy with BLI_strncpy and multiple strcat's with a BLI_snprintf().
also fix possible crash if CWD isnt available.

Patch #25901 by Tobias Oelgarte.
Bone transformations would be converted back and forth between different
representations when changing modes, which due to numerical errors could
lead to bone transformations slowly changing as you edit the armature.
Now the editmode head, tail and roll values are stored in bones and used
directly when entering edit mode. Head and tail were already there but
now we ensure they are the exact same value, roll was not yet there, so
we have a version patch for it.
The sub version was incremented to 1 for the version patch.

Armature properties: layer buttons now show which ones are in use,
like object layers.
|
|
consistent with active object, mesh editmode, curves & metaballs.
- active is no longer assumed to be selected.
this fixes a simple bug - eg: Adding a new armature, entering pose mode and toggling selection failed.
- outliner editbone selection now works like object and pose mode.
- mouse selection sets the bone active even when the tip is selected.
- active, unselected bones draw as wire color with a 15% tint of the selected color.
|
|
- fixed bug in paste material, exposed by stricter warnings.
- removed/renamed various shadowed vars.
- removed BGE lamp.colour, only allow lamp.color attribute.

now to be removed.

* Finished baking code for motion paths, generalising it so that it works for both Objects and Bones.
It is based on the old code for baking bones, although I have modified the updating code to use a more 'correct' method of updating dependencies. However, this may turn out to be too slow, and another API method should be added for that...
* Moved some of the old version-patching code for animviz settings out of the drawing functions, instead doing this on the version patching proper.
* Added RNA support for the new AnimViz types, and included RNA access via their users too. The old settings have still been left in for now, since there are still some things not ready to use yet.
----
* F-Curve's with sample points (i.e. sounds to F-Curves) now perform linear interpolation between sample points instead of using constant interpolation.

This commit sets up some of the groundwork necessary to extend the animation visualisation capabilities, previously only available for bones in PoseMode, to Objects as well. Also, some of the other goals of this refactor is to make future visualisation goodies (i.e. editable paths) more feasible...
(There's really nothing to see here yet. The following log notes are really just for my own reference to keep track of things.)
Currently, the following things have been done:
* New datastructures + settings have been tidied up, ready for usage
* Added these new types into the Object and PoseBone code as necessary, with freeing/adding/copying accounted for
* File IO code for the new data, including version patching to convert the old system to the new one.
* Set up the drawing system for motionpaths based on the old armature path drawing code. Armatures still draw using the old system, since the two systems use different storage systems.
* Started setting up the motionpath 'baking' code, but the core of this still needs to be coded...
Next Steps (after some semi-urgent Durian Driver changes):
* Port the ghosting/onionskinning code over too
* Finish motionpath baking code
* RNA wrapping for the new types
* Hooking up all the new code into the operators, etc.
|
|
* Increased the number of Armature and Bone Layers from 16 to 32. Please note that older versions of Blender may not correctly resolve the layers that bones are on when loading new files.
* Newly added objects are now made by default to allow locking of 4-component rotations using 4 separate locks (i.e. one by component) instead of requiring the obscure 'W' toggle (renamed '4L' now) to be enabled first. The objects in the default scene need modifying manually though.

puts the bone location in pose space rather than local bone space.

needs looking up.
- rna vars arm.bones.active & rna.edit_bones.active
- needed special undo support.
- readfile.c loads.
- duplicate and copy_armature support.
- keep the draw flag, renamed to BONE_DRAW_ACTIVE, only use for openGL drawing.
Note: it may be better to allow active/unselected as with objects.

At last, this commit introduces the Spline IK Constraint to Blender. Spline IK is a constraint that makes n bones follow the shape of a specified curve.
Simply add a chain of bones, add a curve, add a Spline IK Constraint to the tip bone and set the number of bones in the chain to make it work. Or, try the following test file:
http://download.blender.org/ftp/incoming/250_splineik_spine01.blend
Screenshots of this in action (as proof):
http://download.blender.org/ftp/incoming/b250_splineik_001_before.png
http://download.blender.org/ftp/incoming/b250_splineik_001_after.png
I've implemented this in a similar way to how standard IK solvers are done. However, this code is currently not an IK plugin, since I imagine that it would be useful to be able to combine the 2 types of IK. This can be easily changed though :)
Finally, a few notes on what to expect still:
* Constraint blending currently doesn't affect this. Getting that to work correctly will take a bit more work still.
* Options for not affecting the root joint (to make it easier to attach the chain to a stump or whatever), and non-uniform scaling options have yet to be added. I've marked the places where they can be added though
* Control over the twisting of the chain still needs investigation.
Have fun!

This allows you to do funky things like animating the number of segments in a b-bone.
|

Like edit data, this isn't saved, just a temp pointer used during work session.
Also bring back sketching panel for 3d view.

From the anti-globalization department:
G.obedit terminated!
Wherever possible, use CTX_data_edit_object(C) to get this
now. It's stored in scene now, and the screen context has
it defined.

Merged 'backend' changes from AnimSys2. Many of these changes are necessary for the Dopesheet and other changes I'm currently still stabilising. Those will come in due course.

This commit adds an exception for rotations (standard rotation and tracball) to still work on children of transformed objects and bones in an expected fashion. That is, you can select a chain of finger bones and rotate to flex them all at once.
Notes:
[1] This could be expended to other transformations if needed.
[2] Center of transformation is determined using the same principle as hinge bones (transformed children aren't taken into account)

This patch adds the ability to lock transformation on bones in edit mode, to protect them from accidental editing.
Bones can be locked from the editing buttons, the transform property panel, the specials popup menu or the python api.

* Bugfix #8599d:
When using the ChildOf constraint on bones without parents, with cyclic-offset in action the effect of the cyclic-offset was applied twice. Added a bone option to make the effect of cyclic-offset not be applied to rootbones which have the option 'enabled'.
In the UI, this is presented in the opposite way. It is represented by the 'Offs' button beside the parent-bone selector in the Armature Bones panel when in EditMode.
* Head/Tail setting and Constraint Channels:
Added back in checks to see if the head/tail IPO-curves for Constraint Channels can get applied for the target constraint. I had removed these when applying the patch, but I'd overlooked the fact that users could add an IPO-curve for this from the IPO-editor, potentially mucking up the behaviour of some constraints.
|
|
* Action Editor "Open/Close Level" now works with Action Groups. Groups have priority over Action Channels for collapsing/expanding.
* Custom bone shapes using the new 'wire' option, were drawing with the wrong wireframe colour at times (i.e. when out of posemode, this happened quite often).
* Fixed/added a few comments in various places
|
|
In production rigs, such as those for Peach and Plumiferos, custom bone shapes are often simple wireframe shapes (formed with a single line). These are only visible when the armature's drawtype is Wire, which means that this drawtype must be used for the display of those bones. On the other hand, 'normal' bones must also be drawn as wireframes.
I've added a small toggle beside the field for the name of the object to use. This is marked 'W' (this is not great, but it'll have to do for now).
When activated, that bone's custom bone shape will always draw as a wireframe. As a result, the armature's drawtype doesn't have to be set to 'Wire' to see these bones.
|
|
Added a new option for Armature Ghosting: Only draw ghosts for selected bones. This is activated by toggling the "Sel" button beside the GStep: field.
Note: this does not give any speed increases, as the whole pose must be recalculated for each ghost. In fact, it might even cause minor performance decreases, due to the need to tag and un-tag bones before/after drawing the set of ghosts.
|
|
* Added an option to make frame numbers of keyframes draw on bone-paths even when frame numbers for other points are not shown.
* Added a new ghosting method, which only shows the keyframes within a range.
