- next_object() now loops through all set scenes, not just the first one.
- removed F_SET, rather them having a mode for looping on a set, just use the set when the first scene ends.
- metaballs can now glob between scenes however there are still some depsgraph issues that existed before.
- python change, dont import 'bpy' by default, initially I thaught this would make scripting easier but it ends up being annoying when you want to register a script or if you want to import it. (more trouble then its worth to save 1 line, also not very pythonic).
Now object layers and scene-base layers are now always synced. In 2.4x, they were only synced if there was animation for layers, but it's probably not worth checking for this these days...
Finally we can close this bug report :)
* Fractional frames support has been changed to use a new var, scene->r.subframe.
This is a 0.0-1.0 float representing a subframe interval, used in generating a final float
frame number to evaluate animation system etc.
* Changed frame_to_float() and some instances of bsystem_time() into a convenience function:
float BKE_curframe(scene) which retrieves the floating point current frame, after subframe
and frame length corrections.
* Removed blur_offs and field_offs globals. These are now stored in render, used to
generate a scene->r.subframe before render database processing.
- bugfix for copying a scene with FFMPEG properties set (wasnt copying the ID properties, could crash blender)
- relative path option for adding sequence strips and replaceing images.
- Remove SEQ_DESEL, better not have a flag which includes ~, use ~SEQ_ALLSEL instead.
- Rename recurs_dupli_seq -> seqbase_dupli_recursive
- Rename deep_dupli_seq -> seq_dupli_recursive
The most useful effect of this is that set scenes can take the simplify settings from the current scene (render team doesnt have to worry about animators simplify settings).
details...
- updating on frame change now passes the parent scene to object update function. (this was alredy happening for updating tagged objects)
- set scenes objects update first so scenes can depend on set objects however this only happened at once level, now set scenes are updated recursively, so deepest level is updated first.
- collision objects used to only look through the current scene, now set objects are included.
* The test is now only done when some object that uses cache has actually changed.
* The added scene->physics_settings->quick_cache_step is only an internal counter, not a user changeable value.
- library data allows pointcache writing (hard to know how this should work long term so ifdef'd for now)
- changing the frame now updates the dupligroup objects
- BKE_ptcache_ids_from_object(), option to get the id's from duplis
note! scene_update_tagged() is called from the main() loop, and runs BKE_ptcache_quick_cache_all(), this could become a performance issue, especially with duplis, should probably not call BKE_ptcache_quick_cache_all() all the time, even when not playing back animation.
(commits 27856 by Campbell from render25 branch)
- disable running scripts automatically
- set sequencer image preview
- added a 3D viewport in the python script screen & selected 'Text' in the next editor.
- enable stamp rendertime by default. (stamp its self is disabled)
- set the stamp font size to 12 (was 8, too small)
also set the default font size to 12 for new scenes.
This commit restores the 'Playback FPS' option which showed an indicator of the frame rate of animation playback in the 3D-View.
The info for this is now stored in a temp struct in scene data, with the status info being updated by the "animation step" operator instead of relying on globals as the old code did. This seems a lot more stable than in 2.49, but the accuracy is still questionable.
- recode of the whole sequencer audio handling
- encode audio flag removed, instead you choose None as audio codec, added None for video codec too
- ffmpeg formats/codecs: enabled: theora, ogg, vorbis; added: matroska, flac (not working, who can fix?), mp3, wav
- sequencer wave drawing
- volume animation (now also working when mixing down to a file!)
- made sequencer strip position and length values unanimatable
levels, child particles, and shadow/SSS/AO quality.. Now also works on what
is displayed in the 3d view instead of only rendering, see panel in the scene
properties.
Most file changes were to make scene available in the isDisabled modifier
callback function.
Now the default eye separation value is 0.10 (reasonable for games with 1 meter == 1 B.U.
The focallength used is the camera focal length (DOF settings). It allow you to even use different focal lengths for different scenes (good for UI)
In order to change it you can change the camera focal length or use Rasterizer.setFocalLength.
If you use the Rasterizer method it will use this value for all the cameras.
ToDo:
- Blenderplayer settings
- Update wiki documentation (any volunteer)?
* Note to stereo fans:
I don't have a real stereo environment to test it (other than cheap cyan-red glasses). If you can give it a try in a more robust system and report bugs or problems with BGE current system please let me know. I would be glad to help to make it work 100% by the time Blender 2.5 is out.
For the record, BGE is using the method known as 'parallel axis asymmetric frustum perspective projection'. This method is well documented here:
http://local.wasp.uwa.edu.au/~pbourke/miscellaneous/stereographics/stereorender/
Currently access by selecting a marking and binding with the active camera from the view menu.
Note:
after long discussion we decieded there is no nice way to do this.. animate pointers? animate multiple camera visibility?, use sequencer? use NLA?.... have a kind of event system (like framechange scriptlinks)... etc
so this is ifdef'd with DURIAN_CAMERA_SWITCH
Render layers now use the same consistent 'unique name' function as other parts of Blender (i.e. RenderLayer.001). Updated the defaults for consistency.
