* Sets up a particle system and an explode modifier.
* In "blend" mode requires two selected objects and creates "crossed keyed" particle systems between the objects for a simple blend effect where the first object explodes and then recombines as the second object.
* Also renamed the other quick effect operators as "Quick ..." to bring some consistency to the operators (also nice that now you can just write "quick" to the operator search and get all these operators).
===========================
- Added missed stub for blenderplayer, so it should
compile again fine.
- libmv is added to extern/.
Script for bundling needed subset of sourcses from
libmv repo is included there.
- Eigen3 is also added to extern/.
libmv depends on Eigen3 (which isnt't compatible with Eigen2
from API point of view). So both of versions are going to
be in worktree for time (until code which used Eigen2 would be
ported to Eigen3).
- Added some functions to libmv-capi, so some things from
this library could already be used.
- Added the very basic implementation of 2D tracking.
It should be treated as draft for tracking architecture
which probably would be cleaned up, changed or whatever else.
Current implementation was supposed to demonstrate that our
structures and understading is correct to interact with libmv easily.
===========================
- Disallow moving pattern/search area in way when marker position is
outside of pattern area.
- MoiveClip could be set as background for 3D view.
Added background source property to BGPic to switch between image
and movie. Movie is a bit more complicaated entity than clip (due to
displaying bundles, test objects and so) that's why i've sliptted
background into two sources.
- Added Layout.template_movieclip to display general clip settings.
Used in Footage panel of SpaceClip and background image properties
in 3d view.
- Display bundles in 3D view as spheres. Selection is synchronized to
markers associated with this bundle.
Bundle can't be selected in 3D view.
- Recoded internal DNA structures, RNA and operators to match libmv entities.
Tracking data now consists of Tracks, each tracks consists of markers
which are associated with frame number. Markers holds position only,
pattern and search areas settings are stored in track. Such settings should
be unified for all markers in track and marker should hold position and
frame number only.
added 'INTERNAL' operator flag so operators which are only meant to be called by other operators or internal use are not displayed to the user.
Currently only use this flag for the operator search toolbox, is ignored in debug mode.
=======================
Added option to baked named "Bake From Multires" which is avaliable for
normals baking and displacement baking.
If this option is enabled, then no additional hi-res meshes and render
structures would be created . This saves plenty of memory and meshes
with millions of faces could be successfully baked in few minutes.
Baking happens from highest level against viewport subdivision level,
so workflow is following:
- Set viewport level to level at which texture would be applied
during final rendering.
- Choose Displacement/Normals baking.
- Enable "Bake From Multires" option.
- You're ready to bake.
Displacement baker had aditional option named "Low Resolution Mesh".
This option is used to set if you want texture for realtime (games)
usage.
Internally it does the following:
- If it's disabled, displacement is calculated from subdivided
viewport level, so texture looks "smooth" (it's how default
baked works).
- If it's enabled, dispalcement is calculated against unsubdivided
viewport levels. This leads to "scales". This isn;t useful for
offline renders much, but very useful for creating game textures.
Special thanks to Morten Mikkelsen (aka sparky) for all mathematics
and other work he've done fr this patch!
- fix: user pref, window title was reset to 'Blender' on tab usage
- Undo history menu back:
- name "Undo History"
- hotkey alt+ctrl+z (alt+apple+z for mac)
- works like 2.4x, only for global undo, editmode and particle edit.
- Menu scroll
- for small windows or screens, popup menus now allow to display
all items, using internal scrolling
- works with a timer, scrolling 10 items per second when mouse
is over the top or bottom arrow
- if menu is too big to display, it now draws to top or bottom,
based on largest available space.
- also works for hotkey driven pop up menus.
- User pref "DPI" follows widget/layout size
- widgets & headers now become bigger and smaller, to match
'dpi' font sizes. Works well to match UI to monitor size.
- note that icons can get fuzzy, we need better mipmaps for it
===========================
Implemented basic structures and operators for markers manipulaiton.
Markers contains:
- Position of marker at frame in unified 0..1 coordinates
- Relative positions of left-bottom and right-top corners of pattern area
- Relative positions of left-bottom and right-top corners of search area
- Selection flags
New operators:
- Create new maerker. It's a modal operator which creates markers
at mouse position when LMB is clicking.
- Delete selected markers.
- Select marker using RMB. Some parts of marker (point, patter, search)
could be deselected.
- Select markers using rectangular selection.
- Select markers using circle selection.
- Marker translation (G-key).
- Marker scaling (S-key).
UI changes:
- Added mode to space clip. Currently supported modes are:
* View mode
* Tracking mode
This was intended to separate different categories of tools,
so interface shouldn't be overheaded with plenty of tools
which aren't actually using in the same time.
- Created new panel when actiev tool is 'MARKER' and there's
active marker where positions could be adjusted in pixel space.
Internal changes:
- Splitted DNA/RNA movieclip files to make separation of
tracking data and movie data more clear. This could be useful
in the future when we'll want to support multiplie moies
for single camera tracking (to make tracking more accurate).
- Added new file in blenkernel, where all tracking-related function
would be stored. Not very much function here at this moment,
but in the future all stuff related on converting DNA to external
tracking data would be stored here.
===========================
- Initial implementaiton of new ID named MovieClip.
Currently it has plactically the same functionality as
images, but this functionality would be widen in nearest future.
- Initial implementation of SpaceClip.
This space is supposed to be used for acting with MovieClips
(opening, playbacking, math-moving interaction and so on).
Currently you could open image sequence/movie file here, pan/zoom,
use a playback here.
I've added cache visualizer to this space, but it's currently more
a developer's feature to see how cache system works, but it could
be adopted for further artists' usage (something like cache visuzlizer
for simulations).
- Added new theme area for Space Clip.
No special colors were defined here yet.
- Implementation of basic cache system for movies.
This cache system is very familiar with sequence cache system,
but it supposed to be more portable: at least cache keys aren't
limited with sequence-based data and current seqcache could
became an interface between sequencer and moviecache without
much logic (only logic related on keys handling would be necessary
here).
Implemented basic limitors (ab\mount of cached imbuf's), so it'll
be a bit more difficult to go out of memory when playing long
animations in Image Editor (this cache system could be used for
images too, in the future).
- Very basic tools implementation -- only sceletion added, no
real tool implemented (only camera focal length added to the UI
which hasn't got real affect on anything).
Assorted notes:
- Not sure about best behaviour for Unlink clip button: should
it be imageeditor-like (with de-referencing only) or text-editor
like (with removing datablock from file).
- Also not sure if tools/properties should be splitted into
different areas or it'll be better to have tools and settings
for this tool/item/etc in the same area (tools at the top,
properties are under them).
Code for properties area is '#if 0'-ed.
- Sound isn't supported during playback in movie clip.
* Windows installer not working for non-admin users and multiple users
* Addon scripts not installing next to user configuration
* Portable install not being taken into account in all places
The main problem was the windows installer was installing system scripts in
AppData next to the user configuration directory, which is not shared between
users. Now these are installed in ProgramFiles, and only addon scripts added
by the users go to AppData.
On all platforms, addon scripts were sometimes getting installed between
system scripts, because the scripts folder in the executable directory was
given precedence over the user configuration folder, that is no longer done
now. So addons now behave like user configuration, they are preserved even
if you download a newer build of the same blender version.
If you have an installation of 2.57 on windows, the addon install location
will not change until we do the version bump to 2.58, to avoid conflicts with
the existing the installed 2.57 version.
The old behavior of giving precedence to the local folder was done to support
portable install, where all configuration is written to the local folder. This
is now implemented differently: if and only if a "config" folder exists in the
local folder, portable install will be assumed, and files will only be written
to that local folder.
for durian we had camera rigs which needed to have the parent transformed rather then the camera, for this reason I made fly mode fly the parent rather then the camera its self.
Make this a preference and use this for view camera/view locking too.
Committing here a patch by Bastien Montagne (mont29), a more understandable Translation Constraint UI.
Before: http://www.pasteall.org/pic/12578
Now http://www.pasteall.org/pic/12258
From the description:
"When you set “X” under the Destination’s “Z”, it does not mean that the Z transform of the source should affect the X transform of the destination, but rather that the X transform of the source should affect the Z transform of the destination…"
The new UI should make it a bit more clear.
*In Particle Mode, there was no way to see what p-sys is being edited in the 3D View Tool bar, when having multiple ones.
Changed List type to normal (with limit to 3 rows). Request by venomgfx. :)
* Removed redundant text info about disconnected hair from Particle UI.
This patch adds adjustment layer tracks to the sequencer and does some cleaning
up of the code.
What's an adjustment layer?
Think of it as an effect track, which takes no explicit input, but alters
the output of everything down the layer stack.
So: you can add several stages of color correction with it.
And: you can even use it with metastrips to group several adjustments together.
