(Empty space will get OSA options, that I add tomorrow or so)
- Removed a lot of old unused variables in renderdata. Also meant I had
to remove this from python API... please check if this gives valid
scripts?
- Cleaned up bad formatted code for FFMPG buttons (spaces instead of tabs)
|
|
* UV and Radiosity passes are now visible in Outliner (like for other passes)
* Changed tooltip of overwrite material to:
"Name of Material to use as Materials instead"
* Also, fixed Reflection and Refraction passes in the Outliner - flags were
mixed up, so turning on Reflection turned on Refraction and vica-versa.
|
|
Without setting anything, it uses ZIP now as default, which gives the best
lossless compression and works nice fast.
|
|
'non generated' correctly.
Also: tooltip fix for radio pass.
|
|
Please read:
http://www.blender3d.org/cms/Imaging.834.0.html
Or in short:
- adding MultiLayer Image support
- recoded entire Image API
- better integration of movie/sequence Images
Was a whole load of work... went down for a week to do this. So, will need
a lot of testing! Will be in irc all evening.

frame set higher than End: frame
The end frame should not be allowed to have a value less
than the start frame. This commit sets the minimum allowable
value of the end frame button in the Anim panel and the timeline
to the start frame value.
Ton/Matt - if there is a good reason to not do this, feel free to
revert it back.

|
- New Passes: UV and Rad(iosity)
- New Nodes: UV Map and Index Mask
- Z-combine now is antialiased
As usual, please check the log. Has nice pics!
http://www.blender3d.org/cms/Composite__UV_Map__ID.830.0.html
For devs: the antialias code from Vector Blur is now exported in compo
too. Works pretty good. Even fixed a bug in antialias, so vectorblur
will be better.
Also: found out that OpenGL display list speedup accidentally was still
triggered with the rt button... so it did not work by default.
|
|
Fiddled with the button spacing a little bit so Disable Textures button fits
a little nicer.

Adds a button next to the threads button to disable texture processing
in a render. If anyone doesn't like the button feel free to revert this
one, its pretty simple.

Full log:
http://www.blender3d.org/cms/Render_Passes.829.0.html
In short:
- Passes now have option to be excluded from "Combined".
- RenderLayers allow to override Light (Lamp groups) or Material.
- RenderLayers and Passes are in Outliner now, (ab)using Matt's nice
'restriction collumns'. :)

Removed all limitations from render code for maximum threads. The only
define for this now is in BLI_threads.h, and currently set to 8.
Note that each thread renders an entire tile, and also allocates the
buffers for the tiles, so; more threads might work better with smaller
tiles.
IMPORTANT: node system won't work yet with more than 2 threads! So, don't
try material nodes or compositing with over 2 threads. That I'll commit
later today.
What does work (should work :) is AO and soft shadow now.

It seems like you can't quote the executable path on win32 using system().
So, playing back a rendered animation now works again on win32, however,
the bug remains... no idea how to correct it.

library .blend files anymore, making it a load faster to use.
- Fixed ancient annoyance; samples were not properly freed, giving a lot
"Error Totblock" when using sound.
This fix also involves removing an ancient NaN hack, which treated the
samples as fake Library data in the Main database.
But still, the Blender Sound and Sample code is horrible... :/

http://projects.blender.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=4786&group_id=9&atid=125
If the path to Blender contained whitespace, various places which called
the Blender executable wouldn't run. Now the path to the executable
should be quoted correctly everywhere.
If this breaks anything on other platforms, please shout :)

Added redraw event to button that choses FFMPG codec type.
|
|
Windows machines, but Linux didn't complain at all, tsk tsk) - this may fix odd crashes for
those that try to open up .blends with scene buttons visible
* added a define around yafray panel
|
|
- Removed obsolete IRIZ image support from menus.
This was a Blender-only version of SGI Iris images, used internally in
the nineties because it was the only format supporting Z easily
A much better Z exporting - and industry compliant - is via OpenEXR
- Scene strips in Sequencer now get Z buffers as well. This is only in
float format, containing actual distances from the camera.
|
|
* Add WITH_BF_YAFRAY, which per default is 'true', so no visible changes for developers (and users).
Set WITH_BF_YAFRAY to 'false', and you'll save some major compile time :) Also handy if you're strapped for memory and compilation fails on yafray compilation due
to this.
- this commit also has a few whitespace changes and
- made BF_NO_ELBEEM a proper BoolOption. This will be renamed to WITH_BF_ELBEEM in the near future...

If you define multiple RenderLayers with different view-layers, these
view-layers are rendered entirely, not looking at the faces that are
invisible. This allows layered composite, but only when geometry does
not intersect or overlap partially.
This new Renderlayer option "All Z values" will fill in the Z of not
visible faces (in the Scene view-layers) as well, which then allows
masking out as if these faces were set to Material option "Env".
Here's an example composite to show the effect:
Two cubes, in view-layers 1 and 2, and rendered in 2 RenderLayers:
http://www.blender.org/bf/all_z0.jpg
Same scene, but with both RenderLayers set to "All Z values":

- It saves a file with indicated type on each change, with number
appended denoting the current frame (like ANIM saving).
- Output filename button supports relative paths ("//")
- Shows optional preview image too
- For now, added a print on each file save as feedback
To make this option work nicely, changed the BKE_makepicstring() function
to have less globals inside, so it is more generic. Todo: allow amount of
digits in filenames to be set (to support files like tmp_123456.jpg)
|
|
- buffer overflow was possible with providing a file path argument longer
than 256 characters.
- buttons "VCol Light" and "VCol Paint" were not mutual exclusive
- quicktime error menu (unable to create) had a enter in end
- deleting points in CurveMapping button (like Curves node in compositor)
did not give proper recalc event
- edges render menu had a tooltip still mentioning the unified render
|
|
Play option: if you set output to render to .avi, but in the same
directory also individual files exist, it always played the files, not
the movie.
Now it checks for the Output type, and plays back a movie or frames, as
indicated.
|
|
The "Edge settings" menu in Scene buttons still was displaying old Unified
render options.
|
|
Sky - Solid - Halo - Ztransp - Edge
And added better info in the tooltips for it. It's important to know that
Halos will always be covered by Ztransp, if rendered in 1 RenderLayer.

event on compositing changes.
|
|
Fix for old (post 2.3) annoyance in UI; on redraw of the entire buttons
window, the active button (with highlight) was detected wrong. Was just
a matrix calculation on wrong moment. :)
Also: fixed tooltip for transparent material "add" option. It was talking
about "Glow", a confusing description.
|

naming convention for Compositing:
- Render Result node -> Render Layers node (name only appears in Add menu)
- Compositor image -> Viewer Node image
I've also added a version patch (2.41 saved files only) to rename existing
"Compositor" Images.
|
|
- removed "Unified" button, replaced with "HD" preset for 1920x1080 output
- removed the unused "Pass" options
- removed the unused "Strands" render-layer option
Because the internal render pipe supports this already; added two more
render-layer options:
- "Sky", to enable/disable sky render in a layer (this was part of "Solid"
before, not so correct... to ensure previously saved files work, the
"Sky" option is set by default when "Solid" was set. The version patching
will do this temporally always, until we've bumped up version to 2.42
- "Edge", to enable/disable edge render in a layer. Nice for compositing.
Also in this commit: fixed warnings for exported functions for the new
Node Editor pull-down menus.

as tabs of the format panel (was annoying how the format panel
would jump far to the right after selecting format' Thanks ao2
for noticing.
Note: as self-appointed code weenie, I should point out that the
ffmpeg code has a lot of tab/space indenting mixed in nasty
ways -- this should be fixed.
|
|
Mixdown option (blending sequence audio strips) didn't write proper WAV.
- file length in header chunk was too short (potential crasher)
- endian switch code used swab(), which wasn't defined to work when src and
target is identical
- cleaned up some code too... like removing timecursor() for core loop.
|
|
Next to the "DispWindow" there are now two new choices:
- Display render output to Image Editor
- Display render output to Screen-sized Image Editor
Both options won't open a 2nd window anymore, which makes work quite more
smooth even, especially because 'focus' isn't lost. Further it fits in the
'single window UI' paradigm of Blender. Should have been done 10 years ago!
Lastly it might bypass issues with X11... having 2 windows with opengl
context is not always stable in Linux.
This option uses an identical trick as for the Compositor viewer, using an
Image block with a fixed name ("Render Result").
The flow, when invoking a Render, goes as follows:
- first it checks if there's an Image Editor visible displaying the "Render
Result", if so then it uses that area-window.
(Use this option for dual-monitor setups for example, a render will always
go to the same location then)
- else it checks if there's an Image Editor open in general, it then
assigns that window the "Render Result" Image.
- else: it searches for the largest Area in the screen, and turns that into
a temporal Image Editor showing render output.
After a render, an ESC will push back the former view, if the Area type has
changed.
Same rules apply for the "Full Screen" option. Here an ESC will always go
back to the regular Screen, and restore Area type if required.
While rendering, the queue for the renderwindow isn't handled yet, so you can
not zoom (nor get full redraws), as for the regular render window.
Existing conflicts:
- in FaceSelect mode, the Image editor enforces to display the face texture
after rendering again.
- when using an Image window for compositing, you'll lose the Viewer output
on a render.
Implementation note:
While rendering updates, nothing is drawn in frontbuffer anymore. That's
good news for b0rked OpenGL drivers (and faster). However, for the few
OpenGL cards that don't do a "swap copy" but a "swap exchange" you get
issues... has to be worked on. I'm afraid we have to drop frontbuffer
drawing altogether.
Other fixes:
- Hotkeys NumPad 1, 2, 4, 8 will set zoom levels (was half coded only?)
Use SHIFT to zoom out (smaller).
- Rendering Tile updates still had draw errors on edges of tiles, in OSA
only. (Caused by commit 4 days ago)

Added support for XVid and H264-codecs in codec-selection. (only work, if
ffmpeg is compiled with XVid and/or H264-support. Failure in doing so
results in an error message that codec can't be selected.)
Both are written always to AVIs since raw-h264-files created by ffmpeg
can't even be opened by itself...
Video render options are reset to sane defaults (=DVD preset) on startup now.
Don't expect quicktime-support to be very exciting, since ffmpeg can't really
multiplex quicktime files. (Tried several codecs with the ffmpeg-commandline
tool,... sigh)
Timestamp crash on Debian-Sarge version is fixed.

* Added 'Make Local' to the menus. Also a minor capitalisation tweak.
|

to a number field in scene buttons.
|

made xparts and yparts consistent in the different places it can be set now python and the buttons are max 64 (was 512 in some python locations) and xparts is max 512 (was max 64 in some python locations), also made the minimum xparts and yparts 1 again. Ed Halley suggests that we should up the max xparts to 1024 (instead of the current 512) for 'smoother panoramas'

This commit brings back:
- Field Render
- MBlur Render (old style)
- Border render with or without cropping
Note: Field Render is not supported in Compositor yet. Blurring or filter
will destroy field information.
Both MotionBlur as Field render are done before Compositing happens.
Fixes:
- The "Save Buffers" option only worked on single frame renders, not for
Anim render.
- Found an un-initalized variable in Render initialize... this might have
caused the unknown random crashes with render.
Code restructure:
Cleaned up names and calls throughout the pipeline, more clearly telling
what goes on in functions.
This is visible in the updated first image of the Wiki doc:
http://mediawiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/RenderPipeline
|
|
Bugfix: Don't draw mux_rate and max_rate output buttons on the same
screen position. (Never noticed, always used presets... )
|
|
Bugfix: FFMPEG-Codec Preset now changes values immediately. (One has to set B_REDR on the menu-button,
allqueue alone doesn't do the job...)

- code for detecting loops was overly complex, and detected loops wrong
even (when chains partially overlap it gave error)
- that code could NULLify sets of other scenes than the one you tested
- and that code should be in blenkernel, so it can be called in more
locations, like fixing potential loops in old files
- the code for looping over the chained scenes was bad too, I created a
nice #define to keep code readable. (See SETLOOPER in BKE_scene.h)
ALso fixes reports in tracker :)

Made the frame boost from short to int (30000 -> 300000 frames) complete
by walking through the source and finally changing all frame-variables
to ints.
This should finally fix the framecounter warp around seen in some buttons.
If you step on any further problems that may arise starting from frame
32768 please just give me a hint and I'll fix it.
(Sorry about that, didn't know enough about Blender, when I did it the first
time...)
|
|
Included a patch from Jacques Beaurain. On pressing "Play" the position of
the playback window didn't use same code as for pressing "Render".
|
|
Patch #4044 patch to change the step when changing frame with up or down arrow keys.
This adds a per Scene setting to specify the number of frames skipped by the up and down arrow.
This setting can be changed in the Timeline header and in the Anim/Playback section of the Scene settings.
Upon loading a file without that setting or creating a new scene, it is set to 10
Also fixed the Start and End frame buttons in the Scene buttons to do a proper refresh.

New option "Save Buffers", in first Output panel of renderbuttons, will not
allocate all render buffers, but instead save the rendered tiles to exr.
For each scene rendered, a single exr file then is created.
After rendering, the files get read, and only then the memory allocation is
done.
The exr files are saved in the temp dir (from user settings), and have
names derived from the filename+scene name. That way these buffers remain
relatively unique, and can be re-used later too.
Saving all render-layers and passes in a single file (as F3 command) will
be done later. Also reading back the current muli-layer exr files is not
supported yet (will read black). The purpose is that these files then can
be used as input for the Compositor.
One fun thing I added; after rendering once with this option, close
Blender, and restart it. If you have a Composite set up press 'R' on an
active RenderResult node. This will refresh the node(s) and load the exr,
so you can composite again without a re-render.

standard for film scanning, 10 bits/channel and logarithmic. DPX is
derived from Cineon as the ANSI/SMPTE industry standard.
DPX supports 16 bits color/channel, linear as well as logarithmic.
Code has been gratefully copied from CinePaint and was integrated in
Blender by Joe Eagar.
According to CinePaint's dev Robin Rowe the DPX code defaults to log
colorspace. Can't find in the code clues yet how to enable/disable that.
However, tests with write/read of DPX seems to show no visible loss by
log conversion code. Might be because it uses the entire 16 bit range...
CinePaint dpx files have been succesfully imported in a Quantel IQ HD/2K
finishing/grading set without problem, so for now I guess we can
use it! :)
Changes in code: added tests for image magic numbers before entering
the actual reading code. Prevents error prints, and makes it faster too.
(Note; this because Blender doesn't check for extensions, but calls
reading functions on every file until one accepts it. :)

option to re-render that specific node. Also works for nodes using other
scenes.

The old implementation was added quite hackish (talking about 10 yr ago).
You also had to make a small image slice, which was extended Xparts in
size. That also required to adjust the camera angle. Very clumsy.
Now; when enabling the Panorama option, it will automatically apply the
panorama effect on the vertically aligned tiles. You can just enable or
disable the "Pano" button, to get a subtle lens effect like this:
(without pano)
http://www.blender.org/bf/rt.jpg
(with pano)
http://www.blender.org/bf/rt1.jpg
For Panorama render, the minimum slice size has been hardcoded to be 8
pixels. The XParts button goes up to 512 to allow that. In practice,
rendering 64 slices will already give very good images for a wide angle
lens of 90 degrees, the curvature of straight lines then is equal to
a circle of 256 points.
Rendering a full 360 degree panorama you do by creating an extreme wide
angle camera. The theory says camera-lens 5 should do 360 degrees, but
for some reason my tests reveil it's 5.1... there's a rounding error
somewhere, maybe related to the clipping plane start? Will look at that
later. :)
Also note that for each Xpart slice, the entire database needs to be
rotated around camera to correct for panorama, on huge scenes that might
give some overhead.
Threaded render goes fine for Panorama too, but it can only render the
vertically aligned parts in parallel. For the next panorama slice it has
to wait for all threads of the current slice to be ready.
On reading old files, I convert the settings to match as closely as
possible the new situation.
Since I cannot bump up the version #, the code detects for old panorama
by checking for the image size. If image width is smaller than height, it
assumes it's an old file (only if Panoroma option was set).

can get wrong, but secure code is always OK. :)

- Button option "Single" in render-layer panel will enable to only render
the currently indicated render-layer. It will also skip compositing.
- Brought back the 'Local View' render. This will only render the visible
objects, but with lights from the original view-layers.
To make the option useful, it also temporal enables 'Single', which has
the a disadvantage that you need to set the correct render-layer.
It is a bit a tricky option though... since its quite invisble and
confusing for people who don't know the feature. This might become either
a button in 3d header, or use a popup requester to confirm, or... will
need to think over!
At least; both options display in render window a text to denote the option.
