It seems everytime I try to fix something here I break something
else, but anyway, another try at getting this to work properly.
Fixes for:
- Getting dupliverts/faces derivedmesh with orco caused wrong results
on meshes in linked dupligroups with proxy, because modifier stack
was revaluated with wrong object matrix, now gets orco another way.
- Fix render instances being hidden when original object was not added
to the object render list.
- Changed the way object instances find their original objects, now
works the other way around, original objects look for their instances
instead.
There's probably issues still with recursive dupligroups..
* Generalized the interactive brush property control from sculpt mode into a simple API
* Modified sculpt mode to take advantage of this (even fixes some minor bugs!)
* Added shortcuts in particle edit to set brush size/strength (FKEY/shift+FKEY)
Still todo are the other modes that have brushes...
----------
Added RenderData.activeLayer attribute, lets user access the active
rendering layer. Also corrected description of RenderData.freeImages
attribute.
Note: doesn't seem like there is any support in the python API for accessing
the renderlayers settings....
- while sampling color in image window, you now get the sampled color as a line
drawn in the node editor Curve nodes, allowing quicker view of what values you
actually change.
- reverted temporary the patch [#6779] by Matthew Plough
He replaced image drawing of backdrop-node-editor with our Texture drawing
function. That call is extremely slow, and should be by definition slower
than glDrawPixels (unless you don't upload the image each time to gfx mem).
Drawing large frames (2k, 4k) in node editor became unacceptable slow, even
with the neatest hardware around. (tested nvidia, ati)
Probably (Campbell thinks) this is a bypass for Linux ATI cards?
Anyhoo, this should be investigated further before applying. It better then
becomes a user pref, or even much better: part of the OpenGL profiler we need.
Newly added strip->scale was never initialized 1.0f on adding, causing
divide by zero in NLA/Action UI.
Bug since september or so... is nobody using NLA? :)
Now, the Limit Scale Constraint can be made to work on the Transform values like the Limit Location constraint. Use the "For Transform" button to activate.
For clarity, this means that when scaling with a Limit Scale Constraint with this option on, the relevant values in the Transform Properties will stop changing once the Limit defined in the Limit Constraint is reached.
Removed a pair of uiPanelPush()/uiPanelPop() calls from the Transform Orientation panel, which were causing minor redraw/refresh problems for the panel's buttons here.
Snapping for object mode
Changes:
- Transform snap now working in object mode and not just mesh edit mode
- Shift-Tab can be used to toggle snap on/off inside transform too (no more Esc,toggle,restart)
- Object mode snap: Closest uses the bounding box corners of all selected objects, Median uses object center and Center uses transform center (same as edit mode).
- Object mode snap: all visible meshes can be used to get the snapping point (unlike edit mode snap which is limited to selected mesh: this might be adjusted to make edit mode snap use all visible too).
To Do:
- Add "Active" snap target method: use active object (or mesh element) as snap target
- Add snapping capabilities to Scale
- (Maybe) Add "Near pointer" snap target method: use selected element that is closest to mouse pointer as snap target. Active could probably accomplish that already in a less confusing manner, so I might skip this.
Custom Orientations can be added with Ctrl-Shift-C (hotkey suggestions are welcomed), this adds and select the new alignment. Custom Orientations can also be added, deleted, selected from the Transform Orientations panel (View -> Transform Orientations). Standard orientations (global, local, normal, view) can also be selected from this panel.
If you plan on using only a single custom orientation and don't really need a list, I suggest you use the hotkey as it adds and selects at the same time.
Custom Orientations are save in the scene and are selected per 3D view (like normal orientation).
Adding from an object, the orientation is a normalized version of the object's orientation.
Adding from mesh data, a single element (vertex, edge, face) must be selected in its respective selection mode. Vertex orientation Z-axis is based on the normal, edge Z-axis on the edge itself (X-axis is on the XoY plane when possible, Y-axis is perpendicular to the rest). Face orientation Z-axis is the face normal, X-axis is perpendicular to the first edge, Y-axis is perpendicular to the rest.
(More logical orientations can be suggested).
I plan to add: 2 vertice (connected or not) => edge orientation , 3 vertice = face orientation
Differences from the patch:
- orientations no longer link back to the object they came from, everything is copy on creation.
- orientations are overwritten based on name (if you add an orientation with the same name as one that already exists, it overwrites the old one)
[#6861] Black dots when using small lamps on Mirror materials in 2.44 and 2.43.
some values were not initialized properly, for example, the window coordinates for reflections, this caused NAN color values for some pixels, (may also fix plumiferos bad pixel problem from last bconf)
This commit restores the "big red button". When Auto-Keying is enabled (record button toggled on), a menu appears beside it to choose which behaviour for auto-keying should be used. This should be more efficient for quickly turning Auto-Keying on/off.
I've also added the relevant version-patches to fix up old files so that sensible default options are in use.
Refactored Auto-Keyframing to make it easier to add more options. There are now three "states" for auto-keying: off, add/replace keys, replace keys.
Description of modes:
1) No auto-keying is done
2) Add new keyframes or replace existing ones if possible (old behaviour)
3) Only modify existing keys, but not insert new ones.
Internally, I've moved the auto-keying settings out of G.flag and U.uiflag and moved them into their own variables in Userdef, and provided some macros to access those easily. As a result, old auto-keying settings are currently lost.
Also, removed the manual calls to insertkey done in pose-relax. The reason auto-keying didn't work before was because the bones didn't have the BONE_TRANSFORM flag applied. Now, these are set temporarily.
Todo(s):
* Make icons for the TimeLine header menu (currently just a text menu)
* Add version-patches for old files
* Double-check code for all places that use auto-keying (i.e. PoseLib)
====================
- "From Dupli" option for orco and uv texture coordinates. For dupliverts,
duplifaces and dupli particles, this uses the orco and uv at the point
on the parent surface. Can for example be used for texturing feathers
and leafs. Note that uv only works for duplifaces and particles emitted
from faces, these are not defined at vertices.
- "Width Fade" option for strand render, to fade out along the width of the
strand. Committing this so it can be tested, might be changed or removed
even, if it doesn't give nice results.
* Peach Request - Added Ctrl-PageUp/Down to jump to next/previous keyframe (respectively), just like elsewhere in Blender.
* As a result, Action Channel rearranging has been remapped so that:
- Ctrl-Shift-PageUp/Down is move to top/bottom
- Shift-PageUp/Down is move up/down
* Added a hotkey ("accentgravekey", i.e. ~/`) to toggle whether all Action Channel levels are expanded or not. This affects all visible Action Channels.
* Added Ctrl-Numpad+ and Ctrl-Numpad- to expand and collapse all Action Channel levels by one level (as appropriate). This only affect selected Action Channels.
a glance to view is the "STU PID semi implicit euler"
most of the work to implement a semi implicit euler was done ..
now i am dealing with the tradeoffs between 'calculation time' which is quite expensive .. inverting a 0(n*n) sparse matrix /* once agian thanks to brecht for his work on making sparse matrices LU decomposition and evaluating inverses that easy*/ putting it into and cropping works pretty nice .. argh off topic again
...
while i spent a little time on reading recent papers i found :
1. control on springs needs to be split in pushing and pulling /* fabric pushes easy but pulls hard */
2. diagonals on 4-gons (in the current SB model) can be seen as shear .. thus need a contol to modify .. this commit wil add it
3. 2 nd order springs /*aka rigidity */ can focus on bending .. thus renaming 'em
i have no idea how i would provide backward compatiblity, but the spots i marked in code :)
Removed the version-patches to reset the rest-lengths of StretchTo constraints when loading old files. I can't remember why I added these in the first place, but they seem to cause problems from time to time...
