documentation done.
|
|
Some reorg of modules/pages, start makesdna and makesrna.
In many places license block needs to be changed to not start with /**, because otherwise documentation will go weird.

* New option to distribute particles in a hexagonal grid.
* This is much more stable for fluids than normal grid distribution and looks quite nice otherwise too :)
* Also some small scale code cleanup of grid distribution code.
|
|
python functions.
- use NULL rather then 0 where possible (makes code & function calls more readable IMHO).
- set static variables and functions (exposed some unused vars/funcs).
- use func(void) rather then func() for definitions.
|

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

* Renamed the old split uv's animate option "time" to "age" and added a new option to change the used split frame by frame. These are good changes were suggested/implied by Hannu Hoffren over 3 years ago in his tutorial video! (oh my how time flies)
* Also cleaned up the billboard ui quite a bit. For example now the uv channels can be properly chosen from the existing channels.

* Greetings from farsthary: particle rotation is now taken into account for particle effector direction.
** This gives all kinds of new possibilities as he shows in his blog http://farsthary.wordpress.com/2011/02/08/vortex-particle-simple-tut/.
**The only modification I made to his patch was to use the actual rotated particle direction as the effector direction as this defaults to the particle velocity vector, so no actual new options are needed.
* I also added an "effector amount" setting for particle effectors so that only a part of the particles can be considered as effectors. This makes it possible to create simple "farsthary vortexes" with only one particle system.
* Also some tiny reorganization of the falloff min/max values for a nicer ui.

* Effecting particle properties with textures was possible in 2.49,
but not in 2.5 anymore.
* Now particles have their own textures (available in texture panel
for objects with particle systems), which are totally separate from
the material textures.
* Currently a basic set of particle properties is available for
texture control. Some others could still be added, but the whole
system is not intended as an "change anything with a texture" as
this kind of functionality will be provided with node particles in
the future much better.
* Combined with the previously added "particle texture coordinates"
this new functionality also solves the problem of animating particle
properties through the particle lifetime nicely.
* Currently the textures only use the intensity of the texture in
"multiply" blending mode, so in order for the textures to effect
a particle parameter there has to be a non-zero value defined for
the parameter in the particle settings. Other blend modes can be
added later if they're considered useful enough.

after discussion over the mailing-list it seems that it really makes no sense to restrict that. Specially since we have the "Property" playback mode that usually will be a float.
Since there is no need for do_version or whatoever I don't see a problem. Any Thoughts? Maube to allow it only through the Python API?

different sizes for x/y blurring in relative mode, but choose to use aspect correction on either of the axes.
|
|
relative to both axes or just either width or height.
|
|
|
|
optional, simply turning town the merge limit just simply do anything, and merging is off by default as this seems more logical behaviour

gains when using really heavy files

* Texture context was previously determined by going to the appropriate panel, for example "world panel -> texture panel" to access world textures. Additionally there was a separate button to access brush textures.
* Now the texture context can be selected directly through an expanded icon menu, which shows the available context options.
* This context selector is now at the top of the texture panel, but this could later be perhaps integrated to the context path somehow to be more intuitive.

header is now by default the node type string. A custom label callback can be implemented to display more detailed information. This is currently used by group nodes, which display their internal tree name, and math, vector math, mix and filter nodes, which use their internal operation sub-type. Also the node tree selection/naming box for groups is now displayed only on open groups, to make it clearer that this is the internal type of the group and get a cleaner main tree.

New "auto render" now prevents calling anim-updates, that's
not needed (and popped back transformed keyed objects).
|
|
When using masks or other simple 3D elements in composites, doing
a layer re-rendering on a node is a bit clumsy all the time.
This commit does two things to help:
- new hotkey "Z" in node editor automatically finds render layer
that changed and re-renders it + composites
- option "Auto Render" does same, but then after every transform
edit in 3D window
The latter is experimental; real & proper system for this requires
full threaded render support (like previews). But it works!
Demo file:
http://download.blender.org/demo/test/auto_composite.blend
Important fix:
After any render, all the render layers were tagged "changed", which
caused any edit to first totally recomposte everthing. Now it only
composites changes.
Implementation notes
- DAG scene flush now sets 'changed' flags in render layer nodes
- Added notifier for 'transform finished' to trigger the update,
this is temporarily.

* There were a lot of settings in the particle panels that made no sense for simple hair and only cluttered up the ui.
* Now these settings are hidden by default unless "advanced" hair options are shown.
* Without advanced options the particle velocity controls are replaced by a simple "hair length" value, which actually corresponds to the grown hair length in blender units.
* Some hair effector options that are actually very useful were not shown in ui. These are now found in the "field weights" panel.

- Bugfix #25937
Child-of constraint now behaves like regular parent-child
relationship when all options are set. This prevents the
errors that can happen when decomposing non-uniform matrices.
- Todo item
The area corner hotspots for splitting/merging were far too
narrow. Now it uses a circular distance to detect whether
the hotspot is active. Also cleaned up drawing code for it.
|
|
rendering them was a real mess.
* After countless different bugs particles should now render correctly inside dupligroups.
* Only particles with metaball visualization are still problematic, this is mostly due to the ancient metaball code.
* I'll also add a test file for some of the situations, so that hopefully these cases stay fixed :)

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.
|
|
* Particles that aren't shown are now actually deleted (huge memory savings for flat objects).
* Grid distribution for flat objects is now done on the surface object surface without offset.
* Invert grid option wasn't in ui and it didn't work for non-volume grids.
* New parameter to randomize the grid point locations.
* Resolution soft/hard limits changed to even 50/250.

Scene (Toolsettings, i.e. alongside "layered" option for using NLA
while doing auto-keying)
This option makes all Auto-Keying operations use the active Keying Set
to carry out keyframing operations instead of picking and choosing
their own Keying Sets to use, thus cutting down on the number of
unwanted keys.
Warning: if the older userpref option was enabled in an old
startup.blend, it may be difficult to turn this option off.

Migrating "redraws" settings from TimeLine view data to per Screen.
The options are now still shown in the TimeLine "Playback" menu
though.
This means that whatever redraw settings you set in a TimeLine editor
will be used throughout a screen (i.e. editor layout) to determine
which editors will get updated during playback, instead of only
certain editors doing certain things at vague times.
---
Also, I moved some version patches pre 2.56 version bump into a
version-check for 2.56. These must've been missed when doing the
release...

on all files in a directory and optionally save out blend files for inspection.
This comes in handy for testing importers against 100's of files, quickly showing breakages and easier to setup then unit tests.
Example usage:
blender.bin --background --python source/tests/batch_import.py -- \
--operator="bpy.ops.import_scene.obj" \
--path="/data/testfiles/obj" \
--match="*.obj" \
--start=0 --end=50 \
--save_path="/tmp/test"
Also found my name was spelt wrong in some places :)

While doing some animation work over the past few days, I found that
it would be useful to be able to tag keyframes as a another type yet:
"jitter" for fill-in secondary motion (i.e. blinks/hand-keyed camera
shake). Of course, what you really use these for is up to you, but
this is one more option when you need it :)

Alpha blending can be enabled by a button when "Use Backdrop" is selected.

.blend1 etc backups.
Proves again that lazy coders only make bad code :)
Implementation note:
The filewindow now recoginizes .blend version backups as
a special type, so filtering for .blend files themselves
ignores it. However, they're recognized correctly as valid
.blend files, and draw an icon as .blend file when filtering
is off. Can become a distinct icon if we want...

oldbump -> original
newbump -> compatible
*new* -> default (3tap)
*new* -> best quality (5tap)
the latter two have an option to apply bumpmapping in
viewspace - much like displacement mapping
objectspace - default (scales with the object)
texturespace - much like normal mapping (scales)

Balbio, changes by me.
----------------------------------
While we are more and more moving towards enabling features in the Python API, it's also important to have Logic Bricks working with no scripts.
This option allows you to start the game with the mouse cursor on (it's on Render Buttons). The defalt is still off (no do_version needed here).
|
|
"Modal cursors" now remain visible, until reset. These cursors
were reset already on edges. Example: 3d view toolbar, grease
pencil. Do note, only use WM_cursor_modal() on real modal tools,
and restore it at end.

ERROR: still 1 structs unknown
*** Unknown structs :

Pose Proxy: layer settings only saved the 16 bits for proxy armatures, was
still a short, whilst the other layer settings use ints.

enter weight paint, hopefully fully fixed this time
* The texture selector for brushes wasn't updating. Seems that preview
images have two sizes, small (icon) and big, but it was only
updating if the icon size was set to update. Now both are checked.
* Also changed the previewimage arrays to use the already-existing
PREVIEW_MIPMAPS define, makes it a little clearer what the arrays
are for.

paint
A couple underlying issues:
* Paint icon was looking only at the object mode to determine what the
"current" mode is, but that gave problems when the object mode was
anything other than texpaint, but 2D image paint was turned on. Fix
was to also look at what space is being drawn, and only if it's in
the 3D view does it look at the ob mode.
* The brushes lists weren't getting filtered correctly in the same
case where 2D image paint was on but a different object mode is
enabled. Fixed by changing the brush rna poll to look at the paint
source, rather than the object mode.

Added new option for applyong modifiers on splines' points. This moves
tesselation point and path would be affected by modifiers which are applied on
splines' points.
|

|
new 2.5x code was not passing group recalc flags onto objects within them.
|
|
These were markers which belonged to an action instead of the scene,
and are used by PoseLib to keep track of where poses are.
To restore this, I've made this only available in Action/Shapekey
Editor modes, and only when an action is being shown and the "Show
Pose Markers" option in the Markers menu has been enabled. Other than
that, all the standard marker operators apply now (instead of using a
separate set of special operators).

* Viscoelastic springs between the fluid particles can simulate all kinds
of viscous and elastic substances, such as jelly and honey. This is
achieved by creating springs dynamically between neighboring particles
and adjusting their rest length based on stretching/compression.
* This nearly completes the currently intended functionality for particle
fluids. The last missing thing is a surfacing extraction algorithm,
which is needed for a proper representation of a sph fluid.
* I also cleaned up and renamed some of the fluid parameters to make the
ui a bit easier to understand.
* One addition to the patch is an option to use "initial rest length" for
the springs, which uses the lengths between the particles at the time of
spring creation as the spring rest lengths instead of interaction radius/2.
This makes the fluid keep it's original shape better (good for very
viscoelastic materials), but can create large density differences inside
the fluid (not really physically correct for a fluid).
* Viscoelastic springs are stored in point cache as extra data.
|
|
* Not strictly necessary right now, but better for future.
* Struct data (only boids at the moment) is now written as structs (with dna) so they work between 64 and 32 bit machines too.
