Giant commit! A full detailed description of this will be done later... is several days of work. Here's a summary: Render: - Full cleanup of render code, removing *all* globals and bad level calls all over blender. Render module is now not called abusive anymore - API-fied calls to rendering - Full recode of internal render pipeline. Is now rendering tiles by default, prepared for much smarter 'bucket' render later. - Each thread now can render a full part - Renders were tested with 4 threads, goes fine, apart from some lookup tables in softshadow and AO still - Rendering is prepared to do multiple layers and passes - No single 32 bits trick in render code anymore, all 100% floats now. Writing images/movies - moved writing images to blender kernel (bye bye 'schrijfplaatje'!) - made a new Movie handle system, also in kernel. This will enable much easier use of movies in Blender PreviewRender: - Using new render API, previewrender (in buttons) now uses regular render code to generate images. - new datafile 'preview.blend.c' has the preview scenes in it - previews get rendered in exact displayed size (1 pixel = 1 pixel) 3D Preview render - new; press Pkey in 3d window, for a panel that continuously renders (pkey is for games, i know... but we dont do that in orange now!) - this render works nearly identical to buttons-preview render, so it stops rendering on any event (mouse, keyboard, etc) - on moving/scaling the panel, the render code doesn't recreate all geometry - same for shifting/panning view - all other operations (now) regenerate the full render database still. - this is WIP... but big fun, especially for simple scenes! Compositor - Using same node system as now in use for shaders, you can composit images - works pretty straightforward... needs much more options/tools and integration with rendering still - is not threaded yet, nor is so smart to only recalculate changes... will be done soon! - the "Render Result" node will get all layers/passes as output sockets - The "Output" node renders to a builtin image, which you can view in the Image window. (yes, output nodes to render-result, and to files, is on the list!) The Bad News - "Unified Render" is removed. It might come back in some stage, but this system should be built from scratch. I can't really understand this code... I expect it is not much needed, especially with advanced layer/passes control - Panorama render, Field render, Motion blur, is not coded yet... (I had to recode every single feature in render, so...!) - Lens Flare is also not back... needs total revision, might become composit effect though (using zbuffer for visibility) - Part render is gone! (well, thats obvious, its default now). - The render window is only restored with limited functionality... I am going to check first the option to render to a Image window, so Blender can become a true single-window application. :) For example, the 'Spare render buffer' (jkey) doesnt work. - Render with border, now default creates a smaller image - No zbuffers are written yet... on the todo! - Scons files and MSVC will need work to get compiling again OK... thats what I can quickly recall. Now go compiling!

Christmas coding work! ********* Node editor work: - To enable Nodes for Materials, you have to set the "Use Nodes" button, in the new Material buttons "Nodes" Panel or in header of the Node editor. Doing this will disable Material-Layers. - Nodes now execute materials ("shaders"), but still only using the previewrender code. - Nodes have (optional) previews for rendered images. - Node headers allow to hide buttons and/or preview image - Nodes can be dragged larger/smaller (right-bottom corner) - Nodes can be hidden (minimized) with hotkey H - CTRL+click on an Input Socket gives a popup with default values. - Changing Material/Texture or Mix node will adjust Node title. - Click-drag outside of a Node changes cursor to "Knife' and allows to draw a rect where to cut Links. - Added new node types RGBtoBW, Texture, In/Output, ColorRamp - Material Nodes have options to ouput diffuse or specular, or to use a negative normal. The input socket 'Normal' will force the material to use that normal, otherwise it uses the normal from the Material that has the node tree. - When drawing a link between two not-matching sockets, Blender inserts a converting node (now only for value/rgb combos) - When drawing a link to an input socket that's already in use, the old link will either disappear or flip to another unused socket. - A click on a Material Node will activate it, and show all its settings in the Material Buttons. Active Material Nodes draw the material icon in red. - A click on any node will show its options in the Node Panel in the Material buttons. - Multiple Output Nodes can be used, to sample contents of a tree, but only one Output is the real one, which is indicated in a different color and red material icon. - Added ThemeColors for node types - ALT+C will convert existing Material-Layers to Node... this currently only adds the material/mix nodes and connects them. Dunno if this is worth a lot of coding work to make perfect? - Press C to call another "Solve order", which will show all possible cyclic conflicts (if there are). - Technical: nodes now use "Type" structs which define the structure of nodes and in/output sockets. The Type structs store all fixed info, callbacks, and allow to reconstruct saved Nodes to match what is required by Blender. - Defining (new) nodes now is as simple as filling in a fixed Type struct, plus code some callbacks. A doc will be made! - Node preview images are by default float ********* Icon drawing: - Cleanup of how old icons were implemented in new system, making them 16x16 too, correctly centered *and* scaled. - Made drawing Icons use float coordinates - Moved BIF_calcpreview_image() into interface_icons.c, renamed it icon_from_image(). Removed a lot of unneeded Imbuf magic here! :) - Skipped scaling and imbuf copying when icons are OK size ********* Preview render: - Huge cleanup of code.... - renaming BIF_xxx calls that only were used internally - BIF_previewrender() now accepts an argument for rendering method, so it supports icons, buttonwindow previewrender and node editor - Only a single BIF_preview_changed() call now exists, supporting all signals as needed for buttos and node editor ********* More stuff: - glutil.c, glaDrawPixelsSafe() and glaDrawPixelsTex() now accept format argument for GL_FLOAT rects - Made the ColorBand become a built-in button for interface.c Was a load of cleanup work in buttons_shading.c... - removed a load of unneeded glBlendFunc() calls - Fixed bug in calculating text length for buttons (ancient!)

- PR_DRAW_RENDER: preview is rendered and drawn, as indicated by called context (buttons panel)
- PR_ICON_RENDER: the preview is not drawn and the function is not dynamic,
so no events are processed. Hopefully fast enough for at least 32x32

in use for node editor now.

This will enable much easier use of movies in Blender PreviewRender: - Using new render API, previewrender (in buttons) now uses regular render code to generate images. - new datafile 'preview.blend.c' has the preview scenes in it - previews get rendered in exact displayed size (1 pixel = 1 pixel) 3D Preview render - new; press Pkey in 3d window, for a panel that continuously renders (pkey is for games, i know... but we dont do that in orange now!) - this render works nearly identical to buttons-preview render, so it stops rendering on any event (mouse, keyboard, etc) - on moving/scaling the panel, the render code doesn't recreate all geometry - same for shifting/panning view - all other operations (now) regenerate the full render database still. - this is WIP... but big fun, especially for simple scenes! Compositor - Using same node system as now in use for shaders, you can composit images - works pretty straightforward... needs much more options/tools and integration with rendering still - is not threaded yet, nor is so smart to only recalculate changes... will be done soon! - the "Render Result" node will get all layers/passes as output sockets - The "Output" node renders to a builtin image, which you can view in the Image window. (yes, output nodes to render-result, and to files, is on the list!) The Bad News - "Unified Render" is removed. It might come back in some stage, but this system should be built from scratch. I can't really understand this code... I expect it is not much needed, especially with advanced layer/passes control - Panorama render, Field render, Motion blur, is not coded yet... (I had to recode every single feature in render, so...!) - Lens Flare is also not back... needs total revision, might become composit effect though (using zbuffer for visibility) - Part render is gone! (well, thats obvious, its default now). - The render window is only restored with limited functionality... I am going to check first the option to render to a Image window, so Blender can become a true single-window application. :) For example, the 'Spare render buffer' (jkey) doesnt work. - Render with border, now default creates a smaller image - No zbuffers are written yet... on the todo! - Scons files and MSVC will need work to get compiling again OK... thats what I can quickly recall. Now go compiling!

Christmas coding work! ********* Node editor work: - To enable Nodes for Materials, you have to set the "Use Nodes" button, in the new Material buttons "Nodes" Panel or in header of the Node editor. Doing this will disable Material-Layers. - Nodes now execute materials ("shaders"), but still only using the previewrender code. - Nodes have (optional) previews for rendered images. - Node headers allow to hide buttons and/or preview image - Nodes can be dragged larger/smaller (right-bottom corner) - Nodes can be hidden (minimized) with hotkey H - CTRL+click on an Input Socket gives a popup with default values. - Changing Material/Texture or Mix node will adjust Node title. - Click-drag outside of a Node changes cursor to "Knife' and allows to draw a rect where to cut Links. - Added new node types RGBtoBW, Texture, In/Output, ColorRamp - Material Nodes have options to ouput diffuse or specular, or to use a negative normal. The input socket 'Normal' will force the material to use that normal, otherwise it uses the normal from the Material that has the node tree. - When drawing a link between two not-matching sockets, Blender inserts a converting node (now only for value/rgb combos) - When drawing a link to an input socket that's already in use, the old link will either disappear or flip to another unused socket. - A click on a Material Node will activate it, and show all its settings in the Material Buttons. Active Material Nodes draw the material icon in red. - A click on any node will show its options in the Node Panel in the Material buttons. - Multiple Output Nodes can be used, to sample contents of a tree, but only one Output is the real one, which is indicated in a different color and red material icon. - Added ThemeColors for node types - ALT+C will convert existing Material-Layers to Node... this currently only adds the material/mix nodes and connects them. Dunno if this is worth a lot of coding work to make perfect? - Press C to call another "Solve order", which will show all possible cyclic conflicts (if there are). - Technical: nodes now use "Type" structs which define the structure of nodes and in/output sockets. The Type structs store all fixed info, callbacks, and allow to reconstruct saved Nodes to match what is required by Blender. - Defining (new) nodes now is as simple as filling in a fixed Type struct, plus code some callbacks. A doc will be made! - Node preview images are by default float ********* Icon drawing: - Cleanup of how old icons were implemented in new system, making them 16x16 too, correctly centered *and* scaled. - Made drawing Icons use float coordinates - Moved BIF_calcpreview_image() into interface_icons.c, renamed it icon_from_image(). Removed a lot of unneeded Imbuf magic here! :) - Skipped scaling and imbuf copying when icons are OK size ********* Preview render: - Huge cleanup of code.... - renaming BIF_xxx calls that only were used internally - BIF_previewrender() now accepts an argument for rendering method, so it supports icons, buttonwindow previewrender and node editor - Only a single BIF_preview_changed() call now exists, supporting all signals as needed for buttos and node editor ********* More stuff: - glutil.c, glaDrawPixelsSafe() and glaDrawPixelsTex() now accept format argument for GL_FLOAT rects - Made the ColorBand become a built-in button for interface.c Was a load of cleanup work in buttons_shading.c... - removed a load of unneeded glBlendFunc() calls - Fixed bug in calculating text length for buttons (ancient!)

Giant commit! A full detailed description of this will be done later... is several days of work. Here's a summary: Render: - Full cleanup of render code, removing *all* globals and bad level calls all over blender. Render module is now not called abusive anymore - API-fied calls to rendering - Full recode of internal render pipeline. Is now rendering tiles by default, prepared for much smarter 'bucket' render later. - Each thread now can render a full part - Renders were tested with 4 threads, goes fine, apart from some lookup tables in softshadow and AO still - Rendering is prepared to do multiple layers and passes - No single 32 bits trick in render code anymore, all 100% floats now.
