Previously, this extension used the translation compensated image centre
as reference point for rotation measurement and compensation. During
user tests, it turned out that this setup tends to give poor results
with very simple track configurations.
This can be improved by useiing the weighted average of the location
tracks for each frame as pivot point. But there is a technical problem:
the existing public API functions do not allow to pass the pivot point
for each frame alongside with the stabilisation data. Thus this
change implements a trick to package a compensation shift into
the translation offset, so the rotation can be performed around
a fixed point (center of frame). The compensation shift will then shift
the image as if it had been rotated around the desired pivot point.
It is common in blender to use 1-based counting for
frame sequences (while 0-based is allowed). Thus
initializing to use frame 1 as reference for stabilization
is likely to produce smooth start values in most cases
values > 1 will zoom in and values < 1 zoom out
Rationale: the changed orientation is more natural
from a user POV and doing it this way is also more
consistent with the calculation of the other
target_* parameters.
Compatibility: This will break *.blend files saved
with the previous version of this patch from the
last days (test period). It will *not* break any
old/migrated files: Previously, the DNA field "scale"
was only used to cache autoscale. Only with the
Stabilisator rework, "scale" becomes a first class
persistent DNA field. There is migration code to
init this field to 1.0
We should treat all three "target" ("expected") parameters in a similar way:
The "influence" control should only work on the measurement part of stabilisation,
i.e. it should only control the automatic part of stabilisation, while
the target parameters are deliberately set by the user and thus should
even be in effect when the automatic stabilsation is turned down.
It used to be so for location and rotation, but for the scale part,
I re-used the existing code for autoscale, which also had the scale influence
work on the autoscale factor. This was sensible in the old version,
since scale_influence was the only way to control the result. But now,
the user has always total control trough the "target_*" parameters
and thus we should prefer to treat all similar.
Was a concurrent access of pointcache from both particle system and UI (time space).
Pointcache not being threadsafe is really an issue to be addressed for its next version,
for now simply locking spacetime (like we already do with 3DView), not ideal fix
but it's working and safe for release.
This code obviously should also use the cache_fields flag variable,
like the code for reading the lowres data in the same function.
This is because fluid_fields actually represents the old state before
smoke was reallocated to match cache_fields read from the file, and if
it has some fields enabled that aren't allocated any more, it crashes.
This also fixes a reverse glitch: when a file was loaded with
the current frame in the middle of a baked smoke+fire simulation,
smoke appeared immediately, but the fire didn't until the frame
was changed. The reason is the same: after file load no fields
are initially allocated and thus fluid_fields is 0.
ccgDM_drawMappedFacesMat was missig a smooth shade model restore, some other
functions were redundantly setting it since we can assume it to be the default
state already.
ifdef’ing out defines in DNA/RNA is not a good idea, was breaking alternative keymaps loading
from splash screen e.g. (reported by Sergey over IRC, thanks).
export.
This aligns the behaviour of the file selection with the other
exporters. The Alembic case would fail if the filepath did not have an
extension set.
Also set a default file name for the Alembic export operator in case the
Blender file was not saved before exporting.
This function is only really secure in a very limited amount of cases,
and can especially bite you later if you change some buffer sizes...
So not worth bothering with it, just always use BLI_strncpy instead.
Error: `origin` and `edge` args were swapped in final `FindOccludee()` call of `ViewMapBuilder::ComputeRayCastingVisibility()`
Cleanup: main for loop in `Strip::createStrip()` was really confusing (though correct),
generated a false positive in coverity scan, now should be cleaner how it loops over its vprev/v/v2
triplet of consecutive items.
When WITH_INPUT_NDOF is disabled, 3D mouse handling code is removed
from:
- GHOST (was mostly done, finished the job)
- window manager
- various editors
- RNA
- keymaps
The input tab of user prefs does not show 3D mouse settings. Key map
editor does not show NDOF mappings.
DNA does not change.
On my Mac the compiled binary is 42KB smaller after this change. It
runs fine WITH_INPUT_NDOF on or off.
If the ruler is saved, a new color was created for each ruler. With the
change, a color is created for the first instance, and it reused in the
following instances. The default color is the current default color for
GP.
It's becoming annoying to have public API dependent on build type
and everything. Let's just always have API defined and do stubs
in the function implementation instead.
Current implementation more or less indiscriminately links physics
objects to colliders and forces, ignoring precise details of layer
checks and collider groups. The new depsgraph seemed to lack some
such links at all. The relevant code in modifiers suffers from a
lot of duplication.
Different physics simulations use independent implementations of
collision and similar things, which results in a lot of variance:
* Cloth collides with objects on same or visible layer with dupli.
* Softbody collides with objects on same layer without dupli.
* Non-hair particles collide on same layer with dupli.
* Smoke uses same code as cloth, but needs different modifier.
* Dynamic paint "collides" with brushes on any layer without dupli.
Force fields with absorption also imply dependency on colliders:
* For most systems, colliders are selected from same layer as field.
* For non-hair particles, it uses the same exact set as the particles.
As a special quirk, smoke ignores smoke flow force fields; on the other
hand dependency on such field implies dependency on the smoke domain.
This introduces two utility functions each for old and new depsgraph
that are flexible enough to handle all these variations, and uses them
to handle particles, cloth, smoke, softbody and dynpaint.
One thing to watch out for is that depsgraph code shouldn't rely on
any properties that don't cause a graph rebuild when changed. This
was violated in the original code that was building force field links,
while taking zero field weights into account.
This change may cause new dependency cycles in cases where necessary
dependencies were missing, but may also remove cycles in situations
where unnecessary links were previously created. It's also now possible
to solve some cycles by switching to explicit groups, since they are
now properly taken into account for dependencies.

For now simply reshuffle option so they keep proper dependency flow.
Benefits:
- Has an ability to hide tracks lists to work with other sliders around.
Could be really handy to quickly get rid of lenghty lists.
- From a feedback seems to be fitting workflow better.
Things to doublecheck on:
- Feels a bit misordered: first you define whether one want to have
rotation stabilized, then have tracks, then scale options.
While this follows dependency flow (which is really good and which
we should not violate) it has weird feeling on whether things are
really where they have to be.
- Autoscale controls visibility of max-scale, can we just make it
active/inactive instead?
- Autoscale replaces slider with label. Can it be disabled slider
instead to reduce visual jumping (disabled slider prevents user
input)
Hopefully we'll still want to have collapsable box after re-iterating
over this points, so we don't waste bits in DNA.
