When the current action is the active strip in the nla editor and that strip
is scaled, snapping keys to the current frame didn't work correct. Now,
I've added a correction for snapping and mirroring keyframes in action
editor for such cases.
|
|
* Moved BEZSELECTED macro to blendef.h as it is used in several files
* Removed other duplicated macros
|
|
* Now it is possible to invert the selection status of keyframes and markers.
These options can only be found in the Select menu in the header.
* It is also possible to select the keyframes that occur within the 2
'extreme' selected markers. Hotkey for this is Ctrl K
|
|
Now it is possible to mirror selected keyframes in the action editor;
either over the current frame or the vertical axis.
Hotkey is: SHIFT M (like in ipo editor).
|
|
Check the menu headers for the correct set of hotkeys to use.
|
|
Now time-markers work in all time-related spaces (i.e. Ipo,
Action Editor, NLA editor, TimeLine, Sound). The hotkeys and
functionality set should be the same for each of these modes
(with a few exceptions still). I've had to change a few hotkeys
here and there, so hopefully they aren't too bad.
Marker Operations:
MKEY - Add Marker
SHIFT MKEY - Rename marker (was CTRL MKEY)
XKEY - Delete Marker
PAGE UP - Jump to next marker
PAGE DOWN - Jump to previous marker
CTRL A - Select all markers
SHIFT G - Transform markers (NLA, IPO, Action)
G - Transform markers (Sound, Timeline)
CTRL SHIFT D - Duplicate markers (NLA, IPO, Action)
SHIFT D - Duplicate markers (Sound, Timeline)
BKEY - select markers and other keyframes (if any)
I've also made a few little tool additions to NLA and Action editors:
* NLA editor - Snap To Frame.
Now with the option to offset strip so that it starts at the current frame.
Added menus for this.
* Action editor - Snap To Frame
A few new menus for this too

Key snapping in Action Window, cleanup and added option to snap to
current frame.
|
|
other are changes so calchandles_ipocurve only calc handels on a bezier line.
This makes bvh import faster but should also speed up internal IPO operations.
|
|
all, and even crashed in some cases.
|
|
NLA and Action window sometimes suffered from very weird scaled display,
caused by making the subwindow very small. Was a missing check for small
sizes.
Also in this commit removal of debug print N_T left in for ipos.

issues in parallel... So this commit contains: an update of
the solver (e.g. moving objects), integration of blender IPOs,
improved rendering (motion blur, smoothed normals) and a first particle
test. In more detail:
Solver update:
- Moving objects using a relatively simple model, and not yet fully optimized - ok
for box falling into water, water in a moving glass might cause trouble. Simulation
times are influenced by overall no. of triangles of the mesh, scaling meshes up a lot
might also cause slowdowns.
- Additional obstacle settings: noslip (as before), free slip (move along wall freely)
and part slip (mix of both).
- Obstacle settings also added for domain boundaries now, the six walls of the domain are
obstacles after all as well
- Got rid of templates, should make compiling for e.g. macs more convenient,
for linux there's not much difference. Finally got rid of parser (and some other code
parts), the simulation now uses the internal API to transfer data.
- Some unnecessary file were removed, the GUI now needs 3 settings buttons...
This should still be changed (maybe by adding a new panel for domain objects).
IPOs:
- Animated params: viscosity, time and gravity for domains. In contrast
to normal time IPO for Blender objects, the fluidsim one scales the time
step size - so a constant 1 has no effect, values towards 0 slow it down,
larger ones speed the simulation up (-> longer time steps, more compuations).
The viscosity IPO is also only a factor for the selected viscosity (again, 1=no effect).
- For objects that are enabled for fluidsim, a new IPO type shows up. Inflow
objects can use the velocity channels to animate the inflow. Obstacles, in/outflow
objects can be switched on (Active IPO>0) and off (<0) during the simulation.
- Movement, rotation and scaling of those 3 types is exported from the normal
Blender channels (Loc,dLoc,etc.).
Particles:
- This is still experimental, so it might be deactivated for a
release... It should at some point be used to model smaller splashes,
depending on the the realworld size and the particle generation
settings particles are generated during simulation (stored in _particles_X.gz
files).
- These are loaded by enabling the particle field for an arbitrary object,
which should be given a halo material. For each frame, similar to the mesh
loading, the particle system them loads the simulated particle positions.
- For rendering, I "abused" the part->rt field - I couldnt find any use
for it in the code and it seems to work fine. The fluidsim particles
store their size there.
Rendering:
- The fluidims particles use scaled sizes and alpha values to give a more varied
appearance. In convertblender.c fluidsim particle systems use the p->rt field
to scale up the size and down the alpha of "smaller particles". Setting the
influence fields in the fluidims settings to 0 gives equally sized particles
with same alpha everywhere. Higher values cause larger differences.
- Smoothed normals: for unmodified fluid meshes (e.g. no subdivision) the normals
computed by the solver are used. This is basically done by switching off the
normal recalculation in convertblender.c (the function calc_fluidsimnormals
handles other mesh inits instead of calc_vertexnormals).
This could also be used to e.g. modify mesh normals in a modifier...
- Another change is that fluidsim meshes load the velocities computed
during the simulation for image based motion blur. This is inited in
load_fluidsimspeedvectors for the vector pass (they're loaded during the
normal load in DerivedMesh readBobjgz). Generation and loading can be switched
off in the settings. Vector pass currently loads the fluidism meshes 3 times,
so this should still be optimized.
Examples:
- smoothed normals versus normals from subdividing once:

http://www10.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/~sinithue/temp/v060227_2subdivnorms.png
- fluidsim particles, size/alpha influence 0:

size influence 1:

size & alpha influence 1:
http://www10.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/~sinithue/temp/v060227_5particlesalpha.png
- the standard drop with motion blur and particles:

(here's how it looks without
http://www10.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/~sinithue/temp/elbeemupdate_t1old.mpg)
- another inflow animation (moving, switched on/off) with a moving obstacle
(and strong mblur :)
http://www10.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/~sinithue/temp/elbeemupdate_t3ipos.mpg
Things still to fix:
- rotating & scaling domains causes wrong speed vectors
- get rid of SDL code for threading, use pthreads as well?
- update wiki documentation
- cool effects for rendering would be photon maps for caustics,
and motion blur for particles :)

crashed when there's a channel with no ipo.
|
|
selected actions in the action editor (to the menu - code to handle hotkey (to rise a popup) is there too but unused & untested now).
|
|
|
|
ensure the handles never result in a curve that goes beyond the neighbour
control points.

-> Note; added 2 new c files (split editipo.c). MSVC needs upgrade.
Impatient people can check the goodies in CMS:
http://www.blender3d.org/cms/Action_and_NLA_editor.706.0.html
Most work was on trying to unwind the spaghetti for editing ipos. Too much
history and bad design got added here. Most evident changes:
- made generic 'context' for detecting which Ipo is being edited, or to
assign ipos or to retrieve ipo curves.
- made generic insertkey() for all ipo types, including actions
- shuffled a lot of code around to make things more logical. Also made
sure local functions are not exported
It is far from ready... when action/nla was added in Blender, a lot of
duplicate code was generated. That's for another time.
Now the goodies;
- made Actions to allow any Ipo type
- made NLA to define active actions, for Action window too
- corrected timing for active action, so it shows the 'real time', as
defined in NLA editor.
I did update python code, but that would require testing. Testing is
needed for this commit in general, too many changes happened on all
levels of the animation system. :)
Will keep track of all reports this evening, hopefully it doesnt break
the pre-release schedule!
