Error flags set on Drivers and F-Curves when they can't be evaluated or flushed
properly are now cleared when loading files, allowing drivers to be re-evaluated
when a file is reloaded. This means that if a driver couldn't be used in the
previous session due to the set of extension modules active at the time (and was
thus disabled), reloading the file with the necessary extensions loaded means
that the driver can work out of the box without manually re-enabling.
Issue was caused by performing conversion from FTFaces to materials from
the end of lib_link_mesh, where tesselated faces were cleared already.
This conversion can't be switched to BMesh structures because in future
MTexPolys could be changed in a way, that versioning stuff wouldn't work
any more. Another issue is that making such a conversion per-mesh would
lead to quite a code spagetti, which is difficult to follow.
Solved by splitting per-mesh cycle in lib_link_mesh, so now it consists
of three steps:
- Do linking stuff such as custom data layers, materials. Perform a
Conversion stuff like tessface -> polys.
- Convert all MTFaces to materials. This conversion handles all meshes
and creates needed materials.
- Free tessfaces, mark mesh as linked.
Such a separation shouldn't noticeably affect on speed of linking.
- Fixed issues with calculating matte with balance != 0.5
It used to be used concave combination of minimal and maximal
channel values which could be inpredictable.
Use concave combination of two non-major channels sorted
by their index, so such combination would always use the same
coefficients for particular non-major channels.
- Added despill balance slider which defines balance between
non-major channels used for calculating average of two
colors. Difference between average value and pixel value of
major screen channel defines amount of despill. Balance of
0.5 gives the same behavior as it was before this slider
was added.

(From personal stash of bugs - since early 2.5 versions)
F-Curve colors get applied only on Graph Editor "refresh()". In some cases, undo
was reverting back to a state where the colors had not yet been set. In these
cases, there would be no refresh() after that undo (until expanding a channel or
some other similar action), resulting in "black F-Curves" appearing. So, now we
force such an update after undo to ensure that the curves never display black.
(Noticed while investigating another bug for Mango related to
CLIP_OT_constraint_to_fcurve not sending notifiers required when new F-Curves
are added)
Issue was caused by linking to grease pencil from direct_link* function
which lead to NULL GP data because it's being read a way later.
Link to GP data in lib_link* instead.
- Cleaned up some files -- seems there were some wrongly resolved
conflicts which resulted into duplicated code in space_image.py
and some build configuration files.
- Store all color space related data (such as display device, view
transform and so) as strings, so it could easily be ported to new
OCIO configuration files and it'll be much more portable between
different configurations.
This required adding some look-ups to RNA associated with such
settings, but it's indeed the only way to do this. If it'll be
figured out such look-ups causes performance issues it's possible
to optimize this further using hash. So far it's only few elements
in list to be looked up.
- Added support of display device transformation from OCIO
configuration files. Display device is setting per-window and
different windows could have different display devices, so it's
possible to have one blender window opened on sRGB monitor and
another one on xyz projector.
Display device is ignored when using ACES ODT Tonecurve view
transform due to it's not an OCIO transformation. Probably it'll
be possible to get rid of this tone curve soon (if it'll be
proved useless or it'll be implemented as a part of OCIO LUT).
- Movie Cache now supports deleter functions for user keys, so
such keys could have some allocated data which would be removed
as soon as element in cache is being removed.
- Movie Cache now support callbacks to check whether current
cache element could be removed from a cache due to it wouldn't
be accessed anymore.
- Re-written cache stuff for display buffers of ImBuf. Now it's
using Movie Cache which is global for all ImBufs.
Probably it's not implemented in fastest way, would be investigated
further and probably changed it performance wouldn't be good enough.
- Re-arrange functions in headers and implementation file to make them
more grouped by entity they're operating with. Also order of functions
in implementation file should match order of functions in header for
easier navigation.
- Rename some functions to match conventions of naming public functions.
- Some code de-duplication, still some room for improvements tho.
- Split main 2D tracking functions into smaller steps to make it more clear.
Accidentally OpenMP was disabled in some of previous commits, re-enable it.
Slightly hacky fix to get updates working for Action Editor header when there
are changes of the active action (via undo and/or deleting all keyframes at
once). Since the action referenced by the editor only gets updated when anim
channel filtering (e.g. as a result of the channel syncing operation) is
invoked. Added comments noting where these updates actually occur
===========================================
Major list of changes done in tomato branch:
- Add a planar tracking implementation to libmv
This adds a new planar tracking implementation to libmv. The
tracker is based on Ceres[1], the new nonlinear minimizer that
myself and Sameer released from Google as open source. Since
the motion model is more involved, the interface is
different than the RegionTracker interface used previously
in Blender.
The start of a C API in libmv-capi.{cpp,h} is also included.
- Migrate from pat_{min,max} for markers to 4 corners representation
Convert markers in the movie clip editor / 2D tracker from using
pat_min and pat_max notation to using the a more general, 4-corner
representation.
There is still considerable porting work to do; in particular
sliding from preview widget does not work correct for rotated
markers.
All other areas should be ported to new representation:
* Added support of sliding individual corners. LMB slide + Ctrl
would scale the whole pattern
* S would scale the whole marker, S-S would scale pattern only
* Added support of marker's rotation which is currently rotates
only patterns around their centers or all markers around median,
Rotation or other non-translation/scaling transformation of search
area doesn't make sense.
* Track Preview widget would display transformed pattern which
libmv actually operates with.
- "Efficient Second-order Minimization" for the planar tracker
This implements the "Efficient Second-order Minimization"
scheme, as supported by the existing translation tracker.
This increases the amount of per-iteration work, but
decreases the number of iterations required to converge and
also increases the size of the basin of attraction for the
optimization.
- Remove the use of the legacy RegionTracker API from Blender,
and replaces it with the new TrackRegion API. This also
adds several features to the planar tracker in libmv:
* Do a brute-force initialization of tracking similar to "Hybrid"
mode in the stable release, but using all floats. This is slower
but more accurate. It is still necessary to evaluate if the
performance loss is worth it. In particular, this change is
necessary to support high bit depth imagery.
* Add support for masks over the search window. This is a step
towards supporting user-defined tracker masks. The tracker masks
will make it easy for users to make a mask for e.g. a ball.
Not exposed into interface yet/
* Add Pearson product moment correlation coefficient checking (aka
"Correlation" in the UI. This causes tracking failure if the
tracked patch is not linearly related to the template.
* Add support for warping a few points in addition to the supplied
points. This is useful because the tracking code deliberately
does not expose the underlying warp representation. Instead,
warps are specified in an aparametric way via the correspondences.
- Replace the old style tracker configuration panel with the
new planar tracking panel. From a users perspective, this means:
* The old "tracking algorithm" picker is gone. There is only 1
algorithm now. We may revisit this later, but I would much
prefer to have only 1 algorithm. So far no optimization work
has been done so the speed is not there yet.
* There is now a dropdown to select the motion model. Choices:
* Translation
* Translation, rotation
* Translation, scale
* Translation, rotation, scale
* Affine
* Perspective
* The old "Hybrid" mode is gone; instead there is a toggle to
enable or disable translation-only tracker initialization. This
is the equivalent of the hyrbid mode before, but rewritten to work
with the new planar tracking modes.
* The pyramid levels setting is gone. At a future date, the planar
tracker will decide to use pyramids or not automatically. The
pyramid setting was ultimately a mistake; with the brute force
initialization it is unnecessary.
- Add light-normalized tracking
Added the ability to normalize patterns by their average value while
tracking, to make them invariant to global illumination changes.

Originally was needed to reach easy way of defining masks used for tracking
(do eliminate textures which doesn't belong to feature when tracking.
Implemented as alternative to GP datablock for clip and added switch between
per-clip and per-track GP datablocks -- internal limitations of GP doesn't
allow to display all GP datablocks easily. So either you see.edit GP associated
with clip or with track.
GP strokes associated with track are relative to track's position, following
tracks during tracking and could be shared between several tracks.
Masking code presents in libmv and there's rasterizer of GP datablocks for
masks in blender's tracking module, but they still need to be glued together.
Some documentation cound be found at this page:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Ref/Release_Notes/2.64/Motion_Tracker#Grease_Pencil
Issue was caused by do_versions being used pdata as reference for active/render/
stencil/clone layer indices instead of fdata.
Added some utility functions used only by do_versions to be sure this indices
are set from fdata for pre-bmesh files.
Now it's indicates at which scene frame number movie clip starts playing back.
This this setting is still belongs to clip datavlock and used by all users of
clip such as movie compositor nodes, constraints and so.
After long discussion and thoughts about this it was decided that this would
match image's current behavior (which initially seen a bit crappy), but that's
actually allows:
- Keep semantics of start frame in image and clip datablocks in sync
- Allows to support features like support of loading image sequences
with crappy numbers in suffix which doesn't fit long int.
- Allows to eliminate extra boolean checkbox to control such kind of offset.
Hopefully from pipeline POV it wouldn't hurt because idea of having this things
implemented in original way was working only if sequence before processing
started naming form 001.
