added _prop suffix to ui functions which take a prop rather then a propname, may change this later since its not that nice but for gsoc branches this keeps existing UI functions working the same.
- icons were scaling by the sqrt(dpi)/8.48528, but infact they only need to be scaled by (dpi/72).
- UI_icon_get_width value was being used without multiplying by dpi scale.
handle/key
This used to be a weird per-curve setting which would happen to get
applied/work correctly if handles were set to "auto", and was a source
of constant confusion for both old and new animators. The main effect
of this handle-type/option was really to just ensure that auto-handles
stayed horizontal, instead of tilting as the keys were moved.
This commit simply changes this from a per-curve to per
keyframe/handle setting.
Some people like curved lines, other hate them. This commit will let the user change the level of curving.
In UserPreferences=>Themes=>Node editor=>Noodle curving the level can be modified. Allowed range is 0-10 with the default on 5
The patch will default everything to the way blender works ATM.
File subversion has been increased otherwise older 258 files got straight lines.
The data is stored in the ThemeSpace.noodle_curving
the bezierdrawing is done in the drawnode. Also tested the Line cut tool
the Outliner
Channels which can be renamed include:
- Scenes, Objects, World, Material, Texture, etc. (i.e. "ID-blocks",
or the dark and light blue channels)
- Action Groups (green channels)
- Action expanders (i.e. "CubeAction", "WorldAction", etc.)
- Grease Pencil stuff
Channels which CANNOT be renamed, as they mostly use hardcoded values
or otherwise include:
- Drivers expander
- FCurves (they don't technically have a "name"; what is shown is just
a user-friendly representation of their rna_paths)
On dragging a non-connected node on a noodle, it will insert it.
Functionality tweaks are possible, but it already feels non-intrusive.
Rules:
- Insertion only when a single noodle is intersecting with node.
- Default connects first matching socket type.
- If no socket match, it connects the first.
Weight Paint Vertex Select tweaked to act like edit mode's select and Circle select was added, but clipping is not working properly for either.
Select all was added too, but to the Q key until I look into overriding A's select all bones.
The select vertices checkbox was moved to the header, but it does not force face select mask to turn off yet--and it doesn't have the correct icon.
There will definitely be an update tomorrow to fix the problems with all or most of the issues.
keyframe lines are wrapped up nicely by it
Ideally it could be made so that it only became wide when it is on a
frame with a keyframe, though that could end up causing performance
problems, so this will have to do (if a bit "chunky" looking at
times).
Added some new star icons for the "solo" toggles in NLA editor.
Unfortunately they look a tad scruffy alongside some of the other
icons, although they should hopefully turn out to be more descriptive
(especially when combined with some drawing tweaks I've got in the
pipeline...)
wrong entries if obdata selected
In this case, the problem was that there were some lingering F-Curves
that were unselected by still had "active" flags set (a problem caused
by the old filtering channel visible vs list visible bug). Now,
"active" flag is treated separately from "selected" flag (bringing
this back into line with bones), leaving no confusion.
* Ported filtering code for Grease Pencil frames editing to the newer-
style refactored stuff
* Decoupled active status of layers from selection status, bringing
this into line with everything else again
disabled, the strips are drawn so that they take up less vertical
space.
Originally, the primary reason why these were taller than those in the
other animation editors was really so that these control curves could
be visualised adequately. So, when these aren't shown, we can afford
to collapse the strips vertically.
This should make it possible to fit more strips on screen to retime
them. in some staggered fashion.
It is now possible to create "scripted expression" drivers by simply
clicking on some property, and typing some short Python expression
prefixed with a '#'. This will result in a scripted expression driver,
with the typed-in text being created.
For example, you can click on X-Location of the default cube, and
type:
#sin(frame)
and a new driver will be created for the x-location of the cube. This
will use the current frame value, and modulate this with a sine wave.
Do note though, that the current frame is a special case here. In the
current implementation, a special "frame" driver variable, which
references the current scene frame is created automatically, so that
this simple and (assumed) common case will work straight out of the
box.
Future improvements:
- Explore possibilities of semi-automated extraction of variables from
such expressions, resulting in automated variable extraction. (Doing
away with variables completely is definitely 100% off the agenda
though)
- Look into some ways of defining some shorthands for referencing
local data (possibly related to variable extraction?)
Animation Editor toggle tweaks:
* By popular request, curve visibility toggles in the Graph Editor are
now represented using the eyeball icons
* Muting is now represented by a speaker icon (a speaker for this
purpose seems fairly common?)
New icons:
* Keying Sets now have their own icons (as found in a proposal on
jendrzych's "Pixel Sized" blog)
* Drivers also have their own icon now. This is just a hacky one I've
devised which doesn't look that great. Suggestions on this are very
welcome.
Channels can now be used as "animation containers" to be filtered
further to obtain a set of subsidiary channels (i.e. F-Curves
associated with some summary channel).
The main use of this is that object and scene summary channels can now
be defined without defining the filtering logic in three different
places - once for channel filtering, once for drawing keyframes in
action editor, and once for editing these keyframes.
An indirect consequence of this, is that the "Only selected channels"
option in Timeline will now result in only the keyframes for a
selected bones getting shown (when enabled), instead of all keyframes
for the active object. This was requested by Lee during Durian, and is
something which has only become possible as a result of this commit.
* Removing the last of the owner/ownertype stuff. The bulk of this
stuff was removed in Part3 of the refactor, but it seems I forgot to
actually remove these struct members at the end of that.
* Texture datablocks without animdata aren't skipped immediately
anymore. This could lead to texture nodetrees on animdata-less
textures getting skipped.
This commit is aimed at cleaning up the filtering code by changing the
filtering idiom/pattern used. While the old code used a "check then
do" approach, the new code does a "grab then assimilate".
The main benefits are that:
* the code duplication that used to exist has now been removed, making
it easier to add new channel types for data
* a recursive "peeking" ability now means that the old problems with
data existing deep in the tree (i.e. figuring out whether a channel
should be shown based on whether it will have any descendents) should
now work much better than before.
In the process, I've found and fixed a few previously unnoticed bugs
with how some channels were constructed, so hopefully things work a
bit better now.
TODO's:
* Action-Group filtering stuff hasn't been refactored yet. This was
causing some grief in the past, so I still need to check this
carefully.
* Material Nodes support (missing in trunk) should be easy to slot in
now :)
the list of animated curves is closed
At long last, this old bludger can be put out to pasture. I figured it
would involve some of the visibility-filtering stuff I added, but this
required a bit extra effort than anticipated.
* This (big) commit is aimed at cleaning up the filtering flags used
by the animation channel filtering code. The list of filtering flags
has been growing a bit "organically" since it's humble origins for use
in the Action Editor some 3 years (IIRC) ago now during a weekend
hackathon. Obviously, some things have ended up tacked on, while
others have been the product of other flag options. Nevertheless, it
was time for a bit of a spring clean!
* Most notably, one area where the system outgrown its original design
for the Action Editor was in terms of the "visibility" filtering flag
it was using. While in the Action Editor the concept of what channels
to include was strictly dictated by whether the channel hierarchy
showed it, in the Graph Editor this is not always the case. In other
words, there was a difference between the data the channels
represented being visible and the channels for that data being visible
in the hierarchy.
Long story short: this lead to bug report [#27076] (and many like it),
where if you selected an F-Curve, then collapsed the Group it was in,
then even after selecting another F-Curve in another Group, the
original F-Curve's properties would still be shown in the Properties
Region. The good news is that this commit fixes this issue right away!
* More good news will follow, as I start checking on the flag usage of
other tools, but I'm committing this first so that we have a stable
reference (of code similar to the old buggy stuff) on which we can
fall back to later to find bugs (should they pop up).
Anyways, back to the trenches!
* Changed all int's to size_t's, where the int's were used for size of
channel list returned
* Object vs Base is now passed to filtering functions - was relic from
old owner/ownertype code which required access to bases
* Found bug in NLA code where filter was being overwritten and then
used again as input for some other function unintentionally
* Found bug where trying to select a NLA strip would crash if lamp
data was around
* Removed list-expanders for Materials, Textures, and Particles. So
instead of:
Object
Materials
Material 1
... material 1 anim data ...
we now have
Object
Material 1
... material 1 anim data ...
This makes it faster+easier to get to these items. If you don't want
to see all of these, you can still use the data-block filters from the
header to hide these.
* Internal cleanup - removed "owner" and "ownertype" settings from
bAnimListElem. The purpose of these was muddled, and more of a hassle
to maintain than doing anything useful - it was only really used for
the stuff above.
* Removed need for "sa->spacedata.first" casts all over the show for
animation editor tools which needed access to editor data. This can
now be retrieved directly.
ED_view3d_init_mats_rv3d was calling glMultMatrixf() which was mostly harmless but could also lead to confusing bugs (2 reported previously).
Looked into this and every call to ED_view3d_init_mats_rv3d except for object drawing, doesn't need this so made a second version of ED_view3d_init_mats_rv3d - ED_view3d_init_mats_rv3d_gl which does the matrix multiplication, remove confusing checks in selection code.
- was using un-initialized stack memory if the source / target object had no vertex group.
- if the target object had no vertex groups it would fails silently (not a bug but not very good functionality)
- added an error message if any copying fails.
