I've just spent two days rewriting the Action Editor to unify its code and bring it under control again (it was 107kb, now it is around 73 kb).
* This means that there are no longer separate functions for each tool for Actions and Shapekeys in the Action Editor, and also no more missing tools for either.
* Also, I've gotten rid of the need for those complicated, hierarchial loops used for action channels, as they were a pain to keep consistent with each other.
* Baking functions have been removed. See user-level-changes for more details.
* Reorganised and completely rewrote code in editaction.c, thus the lengthy diff.
User Level Changes:
* For the meantime, border-selecting Action Channels has been disabled
* Baking functions have been removed. As far as I have been able to find out, these were really non-functional anyway. Besides, I don't think they really belonged in editaction.c
* Editing Shapekey keyframes now yields the same feature set as for those in Action Channels.
* There shouldn't be any major bugs left, but I might have missed something.
Further Work:
* Do a cleanup like this to the Action Editor drawing code in drawaction.c
* Baking??? (harkyman seems to be doing something about this)
In order to give import/export script authors the ability to add properties
to inidividual faces, vertices and edges in the same manner as they are able
to do with ID structures three new custom data types have been added to blender
for floats, integers and strings.
Things to note:
-Since property Layers are custom data, they are added to all verts, edges
or faces at once.
-Only one property layer for each unique property name may exist. In other
words, you cannot have a float layer as well as an integer layer
both with the same name.
-No user interface for this exists at the moment.
The following methods and attributes have been added to the Blender.Mesh
Python module and it's object types:
->MVert/Edge/FaceSeq:
addPropertyLayer(name, type)
removePropertyLayer(name)
renamePropertyLayer(original name, new name)
properties(readonly list.)
->MVert/Edge/Face
getProperty(name)
setProperty(name, value)
->Mesh module
PropertyTypes (readonly dictionary)
Kind of fixed [#6688] sculpt - if 2.44 blend is openned in 2.43 with flatten brush selected causes crash
* Added better handling for new brushes; if more brushes are added they will no longer cause a crash (but this doesn't help older Blenders compiled without this fix.)
Fixed bug [#6798] Multires eventually destroys Meshes with Shapekys
* Moved the check for multires on adding shapekeys into insert_shapekeys rather than on the "Add Shape" button click
Particle system was messing up depsgraph tags, causing bad results
in commandline renders especially (or in rendering first frame of
animation).
Fixed with introducing a temp storage tag in Objects. The real fix
should be to make particle systems behave nice inside the depsgraph.
Modified behaviour of IKEY in Action Editor a bit, so that the keyframes added have been updated to reflect the current state of an object/bone. Previously, it only used the current values of the ipo-curves they were being keyframed (maintained as fallback method now).
When adding a new Action Strip to an Object which didn't have any Action Strips previously, NLA-override mode is turned on by default for that object (the Action/NLA-icon beside the expand/collapse triangle).
This broke theeths UV-Exportscript.
updated and added 2 missing decref's, as well as a check not to write a list of faces greater then the size of the NMesh (mesh and NMesh face lengths can differ)
* Moved the multires vertex data from struct MultiresLevel to struct Multires. There's no longer any reason to store data seperately for each level; it was just taking up extra memory.
* Incremented the subversion to 2 and adjusted do_versions to correctly load older files.
* Refactored the multires update process (which handles propagating changes to other levels)
Manipulator drawing, enabled or disabled, with the exception of the
combo manipulator, was leaking a GLU quadric on every redraw.
I don't think this caused trouble in practical situations though, it
leaked about 1 MB when running Alt+A for 20 minutes here.
Small Action Editor feature to hopefully make keyframing quicker. Just press the IKEY in the Action Editor. Feedback on the (annoyance factor of the) popups welcome.
FINALLY! With this commit command-length problems are History. Thanks go to xuru from #scons for giving the nice pointer.
src is now again one lib, and further libsplitting should be rather unnecessary, unless we somehow reach the 37K limit (for internally used CreateProcess, by subprocess module)
* Geometry node: Front/back output
This is used as a mask for determining whether you're looking at the front side or back side of a mesh, useful for blending materials, my practical need was giving different materials to the pages of a magazine: http://mke3.net/blender/etc/frontback-h264.mov
Give 1.0 if it's the front side, and 0.0 if it's the back side.
* Extended material node
This is the same as the material node, but gives more available inputs and outputs, (basically just connecting up more of ShadeInput and ShadeResult to the node). I didn't want to add it to the normal simple Material node since you don't always need all that stuff, and it would make the node huge, but when you do need it, it's nice to have it.
== Comp nodes ==
* Invert node
Inverting is something that happens all the time in a node setup, and this makes it easier. It's been possible to invert previously by adding a mix node and subtracting the input from 1.0, but it's not the best way of doing it. This node:
- makes it a lot faster to set up, rather than all the clicking required with the mix node
- is a lot more usable amidst a complex comp setup, when you're looking at a node tree, it's very helpful to be able to see at a glance what's going on. Using subtract for inverting is easily mixed up with other nodes in which you are actually subtracting, not inverting, and looks very similar to all the other mix nodes that usually litter a comp tree.
- has options to invert the RGB channels, the Alpha channel, or both. This saves adding lots of extra nodes (separate RGBA, subtract, set alpha) when you want to do something simple like invert an alpha channel. I'd like to add this option to other nodes too.
There's also a shader node version too.
* Also a few fixes that I committed ages ago, but seems to have been overwritten in Bob's node refactor:
- adding new compbufs to the set alpha and alphaover nodes when you have only one noodle connected to the lower input
- making the fac value on RGB curves still work when there's nothing connected to it
The hotkey Ctrl-G in EditMode for Meshes and Lattices, brings up a menu giving the user options to assign/remove selected vertices to a new/the active Vertex Group.
The hotkey Ctrl-Shift-G in EditMode for Meshes and Lattices, brings up a menu giving the user options to change the active Vertex Group and delete the current Vertex Group.
This fix is windows specific. AVIs are now evaluated by the pre-FFMPEG code first, failing that only by FFMPEG. Adding the 200 frame testfile from the bugreport http://projects.blender.org/tracker/?func=detail&aid=6707&group_id=9&atid=125 now goes fine with Add>Movie. Add>Movie+Audio will complain about the fail first, but it will be added anyway.
notes :
it compiles but is non functional
lacks the platform specific changes in ghost ( i cant test windows)
lacks the code for plug-in.
the platform specific code will be added when we sync with Ettore work
the plug-in itself cannot be added here
Lattice.c - removed warning
Mesh.c - (own error) when running me.update(key="...") didnt update the right keyframe.
mesh_cleanup.py - Bugfix from a report by plumiferos that started uncovering all the memory leaks.
Removing NAN verts didnt work with mesh keyframes.
