* Using masking is determined only by the presence of the texture,
remove extraneous DNA flag (might cause issues later but in practice
brush options are not harmful)
* Overlay and angle sliders are active during stencil mapped brushes
* Only draw the overlay if there's a texture.
Stencil style texture mapping. Ready for field testing and user feedback.
This commit adds stencil like brushes, like those that existed on old ptex branch.
(with the exception of clip colour)
To control the position of the stencil, you use
Q: translation
Shift - Q: scaling
Ctrl - Q: rotation
There's extra work that has been done to make this work:
* Support for coloured overlay in vertex/texture painting
* Also made A button do stroke mode selection like in sculpt mode,
when mask painting is inactive.
There are some TODOs to work on during bcon3:
* Support tiled and stencil mode in 2D painting. Support alpha textures also.
* Tidy up overlay code. There's some confusion there due
to the way we use the primary brush texture sometimes for alpha, other times
for colour control.
WIP design docs will be in
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Psy-Fi/New_Brush_Tool_Design
Implemented using GLSL API from OpenColorIO library and
some general functions were added to it's c-api:
- OCIO_setupGLSLDraw prepares OpenGL context for GPU-based
transformation for a giver processor.
This function compiles and links shader, sets up it's
argument. After this transformation would be applied
on an image displaying as a 2D texture.
So, glaDrawPixelsTex called after OCIO_setupGLSLDraw will
do a proper color space transform.
- OCIO_finishGLSLDraw restores OpenGL context after all
color-managed display is over.
- OCIO_freeOGLState frees allocated state structure used
for cacheing some GLSL-related stuff.
There're some utility functions in IMB_colormanagent which
are basically proxies to lower level OCIO functions but
which could be used from any place in blender.
Chacheing of movie clip frame on GPU is also removed now,
and either glaDrawPixelsTex or glaDrawPixelsAuto are used
for display now. This is so no code duplication happens
now and no large textures are lurking around in GPU memory.
Known issues:
- Texture buffer and GLSL are no longer checking for
video card capabilities, possibly could lead to some
artifacts on crappy drivers/cards.
- Only float buffers are displaying using GLSL, byte
buffers will still use fallback display method.
This is to be addressed later.
- If RGB curves are used as a part of display transform,
GLSL display will also be disabled. This is also thing
to be solved later.
Additional changes:
- glaDrawPixelsTexScaled will now use RGBA16F as an
internal format of storing textures when it's used
to draw float buffer. This is needed so LUT are
applied without precision loss.
In text editor, the CTRL+F find now opens property region (or keeps it) and
activates the search button for input.
That's already nice! But next step should be to do a search on exit of
the button (or while typing). That's stuff I need Campbell to help with though.
Notes:
- Probably Py api for property buttons could get an "operator=" arg?
- The warning menu "not found" should go away
- I also suggest to make "wrap" search default for new editors
This simply adds a third "translation type" (in addition to iface and tip), "new data", with relevant user settings flag and helper funcs/macros (and py api).
Currently implemented name translation when adding new objects, as well as modifiers and constraints, will add the others (cd layers, scenes, perhaps nodes [though I think they do not need this], etc.) later.
Make it so compositor output node wouldn't be calculated
when Render Result image is not visible on the screen.
This makes compositor tree editing more friendly and
faster.
Also, if there's no viewer image visible on the screen
viewer nodes wouldn't be handled.
Final rendering keeps unchanged for now.
This solves issues when for performance artists are
disconnecting compo output node before tweaking values
in compositor and forgets to attach compo output
node before sending file to the farm.
This commit basically implements frames prefetching for
movie clip datablock.
Number of frames to be prefetched is controlled in User
Preferences, System tab, Prefetch Frames option.
Currently prefetching is destructive-less for movie cache,
meaning mo frames will be removed from the cache when while
prefetching. This is because it's half of simplier to
implement, but it also makes sense from tracking point of
view -- we could want to playback in both directions and
removing frames from behind time cursor is not always a
good idea.
Anyway, smarter prefetching strategy could be developed
later.
Some implementation notes:
- Added MEM_CacheLimiter_get_memory_in_use function to get
memory usage of specified memory limiter.
- Fixed prototype of MEM_CacheLimiter_get_maximum which
was simply wrong (used wrong data type for output).
- Added some utility functions to movie clip and movie
cache for direct cache interaction and obtaining cache
statistics.
- Prefetching is implemented using general jobs system.
which is invoking from clip draw function.
- Prefetcing will stop as soon other job or playback starts.
This is done from performance point of view. Jobs will
likely require lots of CPU power and better to provide
whole CPU to it.
Playback is a bit more complicated case. For jpeg sequence
playback prefetching while paying back is nice. But trying
to prefetch heavy exr images and doing color space
conversion slows down both playback and prefetching.
TODO:
- Think of better policy of dealing with already cached frames
(like when cached frames from other clips prevents frames
from current clip to be prefetched)
- Currently a bit funky redraw notification happens from
prefetch job. Perhaps own ND_ is better to have here.
- Hiding clip while prefetch is active in theory shall stop
prefetching job.
- Having multiple clips opened on file load will prefetch
frames for only one of them.
PyNodes opens up the node system in Blender to scripters and adds a number of UI-level improvements.
=== Dynamic node type registration ===
Node types can now be added at runtime, using the RNA registration mechanism from python. This enables addons such as render engines to create a complete user interface with nodes.
Examples of how such nodes can be defined can be found in my personal wiki docs atm [1] and as a script template in release/scripts/templates_py/custom_nodes.py [2].
=== Node group improvements ===
Each node editor now has a tree history of edited node groups, which allows opening and editing nested node groups. The node editor also supports pinning now, so that different spaces can be used to edit different node groups simultaneously. For more ramblings and rationale see (really old) blog post on code.blender.org [3].
The interface of node groups has been overhauled. Sockets of a node group are no longer displayed in columns on either side, but instead special input/output nodes are used to mirror group sockets inside a node tree. This solves the problem of long node lines in groups and allows more adaptable node layout. Internal sockets can be exposed from a group by either connecting to the extension sockets in input/output nodes (shown as empty circle) or by adding sockets from the node property bar in the "Interface" panel. Further details such as the socket name can also be changed there.

Automatic switching for drawing pixel buffers via glDrawPixels or using GPU textures
It works with a User Preference limit, in megapixels, to define whether to use
GPU or direct pixel drawing. Default is now initialized to 10 MP (4k buffers).
Especially for zooming out (draw smaller) texture drawing is much smaller. Also
Nvidia cards typically draw much faster with textures in general.
Added to node backdrop first now, the other editors follow in a next commit.
For coders: added new DNA function to initialize new struct variables, so you
don't have to sub-version files anymore.
DNA_struct_elem_find(fd->filesdna, "structname", "typename", "varname")
"filesdna" is the sdna description of the current file being versioned.
brushes, due to issues with color coded drawing or slow/buggy reading from such
a buffer on some systems.
In case multisample is enabled now, it uses an offscreen buffer for such drawing,
which is not multisampled and so should not cause issues. This does mean there is
some extra GPU memory usage when multisample is enabled, and we could optimize
triple buffer to work together here somehow to share buffers, but it's better than
having selection not working.
ALERT! POSSIBLE BREAKING COMMIT, ESPECIALLY FOR SCULPT!
Separate the sculpt sampling function so that it can be reused
from other paint systems. This includes updating of the relevant
coordinates for anchored and rake style brushes, which are now
being updated as part of the stroke system.
I left only code for area-style brush texture mapping in sculpt
code, since it requires a few data structures not present on other
paint systems.
This commit makes it almost as easy to support rake on other systems as
exposing the python UI for it. Also it makes it totally possible to
have texture painting capabilities in vertex paint too :) These commits
will follow very soon.
Also, even if I did my best to keep the code from breaking, (even fixed a
leftover bug from coordinate changes) this is a big change. Please test!
absolute coordinates. This allows an artist to lower the brush radius
while keeping the spread of the brush constant. A toggle under the
jitter slider provides the option to switch between relative/absolute.
This adds border option to compositor, which affects on
a backdrop and viewer nodes, which is useful for faster
previews and tweaks.
Final compositing still happens for the whole frame, but
if it'll be needed it's not so difficult to support it
as well.
To use border there's Ctrl-B shortcut in the compositor
editor, which i used to define region you want to restrict
compositing to. There's also "Viewer Border" option in
the N-panel in case you'll want to disable border
compositing.
Some areas could be cleaned a bit, like ideally it shall
not be viewer image clearing in viewer_border_update RNA
callback, but currently it's not so much clear how to
make it the same fast as simple memset and glue it
somehow to compositor. Will think of nicer solution a
bit later.
Adding new file paint_image_proj.c which includes the projective texture painting part of texture
painting, using the stroke system. To access the new code path use Shift-LClick.
The new code path still is problematic with tablet pressure and I will be looking
into ways to unify this across paint systems next.
The old code is still present and can be accessed by regular Lclick as usual.
Also removed 3D (non-projective) painting from 3D viewport.
TODO:
* Add pressure influence code to stroke, remove from every other paint
system code, including texpaint.
* Put UnifiedPaintSettings update in PaintStroke code.
a Use Alpha option again. This makes the case where you enabled Premultiply on the
image and disabled Use Alpha on the texture work again.
That's mostly useful when you have a straight alpha image file which has no useful
RGB colors in zero alpha regions (e.g. renders). Then sometimes you don't want to
use the alpha for the texture stack mixing, but you still want to multiply it into
the RGB channels to avoid a blocky transition into zero alpha regions.
This also removes the version patch that copied image datablocks because it's not
reliable and might be causing bug #34434. This does mean we are no longer backwards
compatible for cases where two different texture datablocks with Use Alpha enabled
and disabled where using the same image.
Instead of flagging the rigid body world for frame update just call
BKE_rigidbody_do_simulation() recursively for all scenes.
This avoids having to constantly check if the simulation needs to be
updated.
Added compatibility option "Straight Alpha Output" to image input node
When this option is enabled, image input node will convert float buffer
to straight alpha.
This is not what you'll usually want with new alpha pipeline, nit this
is needed to preserve compatibility with older files saved in 2.65.
In that version byte image are resulting with straight alpha passing
to the compositor and alpha-overing required extra premultiplication
of inputs.
So, that's why Straight Alpha Output is needed -- it's set in versioning
code for byte node images so they'll still output straight alpha.
This option is currently only available in N-panel.
Additional change: added Alpha Mode for image input node to N-panel.
- optional, select between name/keybinding.
- when key input can't be parsed, alert red to give the user some feedback.
- key shortcut parsing could be improved or swapped out for button which grabs shortcut.
in the UI
This is the second part of the fixes for [#32492], making it easier to identify
which part of a driver (i.e. which of its targets) is causing problems
A number of additional/related changes needed to be made:
* Red-alert status for layouts is now propagated down to child layouts when they
are created. This is needed as otherwise some of the templates used in the Graph
Editor driver settings won't actually get the red-alert status flushed down to
them. Also, note that this status needs to be set before any widgets are added
to the layout, or else the settings aren't applied when the relevant widgets get
created.
* "Single Property" RNA-Paths resulting in out of bounds array access will now
trigger an error status and appropriate warnings
TODO:
* The error tagging doesn't get applied immediately after variables are created,
or their types changed
* There was also some other weirdness involved when a higher-value flag (1<<10)
was used for this setting, which needs further attention
Main purpose of this is to be more compatible with older
versions of blender (before alpha cleanup) where sequencer
used to display premultiplied image on an straight opengl
viewport.
Now sequencer preview would behave closer to image editor
However adding Alpha and R|G|B displays is not so simple
because sequencer is using 2D textures. Would be nice to
implement this options as well, but this is not so much
important IMO.
This hall fix
- #34453: VSE: Subtract function does not work properly
TODO: Make RGBA display default for our startup.blend
It's implemented as a separate constraint instead of adding properties
to the existing constraints.
Motors only apply linear and angular impulses and don't limit the
movement of rigid bodies, so it's best to use them in conjunction with
other constraints to limit the degrees of freedom.
Thanks to Markus Kasten (markus111) for the initial patch.
Scons used to fail because of couple of reasons:
- CMake does have WITH_DNA_GHASH enabled, Scons not
Which is a good question why?!
- This makes Cmake including BLI_utildefines in dna_genfile.c,
but scons missed this include
- This damn "bool" thing requires BLI_utildefines
And last question here is why would we want to use bool here =\
It's just always ends up in headache without any visible benefit
of using it.
Well, at least now svn shall be compilable again..
from Lawrence D'Oliveiro (ldo)
notes from tracker:
use bool for return type from BLI_remlink_safe, necessitating including BLI_utildefines.h in BLI_listbase.h
get rid of duplicate BLI_insertlink, use BLI_insertlinkafter instead.
A few places which were using BLI_insertlinkafter (actually BLI_insertlink), when it would be simpler to use BLI_insertlinkbefore instead.
Highlight background depending on number of tracks existing on frame.
This is not so much mathematically accurate displaying where things
shall be improved, but it's nice feedback about which frames better
be reviewed.
Bad frames are tracks < 8, highlighted with red.
OK-ish frame are 8 <= tracks < 16, highlighted with yellow.
Could be some artifacts with color region start/end, this is a bit
unclear what exactly expected to be highlighted -- frames are
displayed as dots, but in fact they're quite noticeable segments.

notes:
- vertices with zero weights are considered the same as vertices outside of a group.
- currently these show black but this can be made a theme color.
- multi-paint overrides this option (noted in description)
besides performance in some cases.
* DAG_scene_sort is now removed and replaced by DAG_relations_tag_update in
most cases. This will clear the dependency graph, and only rebuild it right
before it's needed again when the scene is re-evaluated.
This is done because DAG_scene_sort is slow when called many times from
python operators. Further the scene argument is not needed because most
operations can potentially affect more than the current scene.
* DAG_scene_relations_update will now rebuild the dependency graph if it's not
there yet, and DAG_scene_relations_rebuild will force a rebuild for the rare
cases that need it.
* Remove various places where ob->recalc was set manually. This should go
through DAG_id_tag_update() in nearly all cases instead since this is now
a fast operation. Also removed DAG_ids_flush_update that goes along with
such manual tagging of ob->recalc.
Justa cluster did not have enough memory to handle all Mango 4k scenes.
Option is default disabled and can be enabled in the performance panel.
- At Mind -
The do-version handling for Userdef is outside file reading, which makes
it needed to store the file version in UserDef, so it gets the correct
version to handle.
Thanks Antonis R. for pointing at the omission!
Also removed the mindboggling define. If you do such, then make it
like "MAIN_VERSION_OLDER_THAN() or so.
In general version hacking could be limited much better... ask me
before even thinking to add one, most optimal is to do it in a way
it's not depending on a version ever - forward/backward compatible.
Caused by my assumption that alpha wasn't used for vertex colors.
Infact it is used by blender-internal rendering, but typically only for blending strand particles.
Updated comments to note this.
