Rendering preview icons is back!
Note for Andrea: the render code has been decoupled from
drawing, it needs Scene context to be able to run...
At the moment only the search menu calls the new render
code (which is the ID browse menu default anyway)
Quick Color picker alternative!
- only a color circle + value slider
- exits immediate after use, or slight mouse move outside picker
- use scrollwheel to change HSV 'value'. Also works while picking.
- added nicer AA'ed cursor in picker
- All color swatches change 'value' on ALT+Wheel mouse-over
Old picker is still there, under SHIFT+click on swatch. Needs
evaluation... part of UI keymap? Per button type? Or divide
picker in left/right? Or just have all those old picker buttons
in another panel... I'm not to fond of this giant old popup.
Added search-browse to the Python ID template. Also added icon/button
for 'Add new'. (Note, we need icon for it).
Also fixed bug in search menu closing too quick on mouse-release, when
mouse was close to bottom of menu button.
And removed annoying warning if ID pointer was zero.
svn merge https://svn.blender.org/svnroot/bf-blender/trunk/blender -r19820:HEAD
Notes:
* Game and sequencer RNA, and sequencer header are now out of date
a bit after changes in trunk.
* I didn't know how to port these bugfixes, most likely they are
not needed anymore.
* Fix "duplicate strip" always increase the user count for ipo.
* IPO pinning on sequencer strips was lost during Undo.
Small fixes:
- Preview render now accepts resize of 1 pixel without re-render,
solves re-renders on scrolling window or dragging panel, because
of float rounding.
- Panel dragging outline was off 0.5 pixel, showed as fat AA lines
- On switching tab, the preview gets re-rendered
Preview renders:
- Added proper button type (BUT_EXTRA) for preview buttons, to
handle drawing better. It now first draws an alpha mask, to
ensure the preview is correctly fitting inside the widget style.
It then draws the outline.
- Added protection for executing preview renders while regular
rendering, that's not going to work...
Nice goodie: Preview renders!
- Added new preview.blend, allowing super wide cinemascope previews
- Draws nicely blended inside widget type, rounded corners
- Preview now renders using all available cpus/cores.
- Uses - hopefully rock stable - method, which doesn't copy or
allocate anything for previews, but just uses render API calls.
- Multiple previews are possible! But, added provision in Jobs
manager to only render one preview job at a time. If you start
more preview jobs, they're suspended until it's their turn.
Bugfix: new buttons context code crashed when going full-window.
Tweaks are still needed for notifiers. I have to figure out still
how to retrieve SpaceButs button view types...
* First step for buttons context browsing, read-only still.
* Drawn in a panel now, though this should become a separate region.
* Path of the context is constructed as an array of RNA pointers and
then used for drawing and context lookups from python.
* Added material "type" property, with Surface/Volume/Halo
options, compatible with sim_physics, as requested for
material buttons layout. Obviously the Volume setting
does nothing currently.
* Deprecated MA_HALO flag in favor of this.
1) Remove WITH_FREETYPE2 from code, so now blender always need freetype2
2) Remove the old bmfont
3) Remove ftfont and bFTGL library
4) Implement a new BLF_draw_default function for place that still need/use
the old BMF api.
I try to update both, scons and cmake, but I only can test with make, so
hope all work fine.
MSVC is broken, but I don't have Windows, things to search and fix are
any reference to WITH_FREETYPE2, FTGL and BMFONT (take in care that
blenkernel also have a BKE_bmfont.h, this don't have anything to do with bmfont).
Always have to link/include the freetype2 library
Remove any reference to libbmfont
Remove any reference to libftfont
Remove any reference to libbftgl (or libbFTGL)
Compositor now uses threaded jobs.
- updates happen per preview node! Check this file for
fun: http://www.blender.org/bf/composite_image.blend
(any compo node could get preview!)
- had to ensure the composite data gets fully copied before
it executes thread, so editing is not frustrated.
- put back node buttons (missing init)
- added WM_jobs api call to check for running job,
illustrated with red light icon in 'use nodes' button.
- added another callback to WM_jobs, to initialize.
use this init to ensure you only do it when job really
starts.
- added an extra notifier option for WM_jobs, to signal
finished job (like redraw image view)
- fixed file read error, it copied the screen it read,
instead of using it.
- commented out annoying prints for missing ops in imagewin
Added WM Jobs manager
- WM can manage threaded jobs for you; just provide a couple
of components to get it work:
- customdata, free callback for it
- timer step, notifier code
- start callback, update callback
- Once started, each job runs an own timer, and will for
every time step check necessary updates, or close the
job when ready.
- No drawing happens in jobs, that's for notifiers!
- Every job stores an owner pointer, and based on this owner
it will prevent multiple jobs to enter the stack.
Instead it will re-use a running job, signal it to stop
and allow caller to re-initialize it even.
- Check new wm_jobs.c for more explanation. Jobs API is still
under construction.
Fun: BLI_addtail(&wm->jobs, steve); :)
Put Node shader previews back using wmJobs
- Preview calculating is now fully threaded (1 thread still)
- Thanks to new event system + notifiers, you can see
previews update even while dragging sliders!
- Currently it only starts when you change a node setting.
Warning: the thread render shares Node data, so don't delete
nodes while it renders! This topic is on the todo to make safe.
Also:
- bug in region initialize (do_versions) showed channel list in
node editor wrong.
- flagged the channel list 'hidden' now, it was really in the
way! This is for later to work on anyway.
- recoded Render API callbacks so it gets handlers passed on,
no globals to use anymore, remember?
- previewrender code gets now so much nicer! Will remove a lot
of stuff from code soon.
- Previewrender code back, commented out a lot of bad cruft,
nothing works or is linked even!
- Added NC_GROUP notifier type, used in editgroup.c and
listened to in 3dview and outliner
Added last few remaining modules in editors. Then the msvc
maintainer can already start typing! Only uv_paint is not
added, not sure how far Brecht is locally already.
