* Pointcache now uses the process id to construct the path for unsaved files. (so 2 or more blender's open wont try to read/write the same pointcache)
* Temp pointcache is cleared when existing blender, added BIF_clear_tempfiles() for this. Should also be usedto clear EXR's in the temp dir (TODO), BIF_clear_tempfiles also needs to be added in more places. (On file load for instace)
This time is was due to different accuracy of floating point computation,
now it uses does a comparison a bit different to avoid this.
Also changed the vectoquat function to be threadsafe.
The following is a commit of Levi Schooley's bevel code and
the bmesh library it depends on. The current editmode bevel has
been replaced with a new per edge bevel function. Vertex beveling is
also availible.
To set weights for the modifier to use, use the ctrl-shift-e shortcut on either edges
or vertices.
Recursive beveling is turned of for the time being.
Basically, this is based on the behaviour of the unique_constraint_name (or equivilant) functions, which have traditionally been duplicated everytime a new datatype needed this.
Currently, this is in use for the following things:
* Constraints
* Action/Bone Groups
* Local Action Markers / PoseLib poses
Usage Notes:
* The file in which this is to be used should include the standard header file <stddef.h>. This defines the offsetof() macro, which should be used to find the relative location of the "name" member of the structs
* This function is only designed for names of up to 128 chars in length (Most names are at most 32. TimeMarkers are 64). If a longer string needs to be handled, the function will need to be modified accordingly.
* defname is the default name that should be used in case one hasn't been specified already
The warning i've coded 1.5 year ago, to warn when a .blend was written
by newer executable, failed on the .B.blend load case... UI not property
initialized then.
This at least fixes the crash, a menu won't pop up correctly though...
luckily the warning works for regular load or ctrl-x
made when testing peach blend files wont have path issues when sent to the renderfarm.
* log failed path conversions
* clean the path so //foo/../foo/ is removed (not sure why but some peach files had this problem)
Also added a function to util.c
BLI_cleanup_file, same as BLI_cleanup_dir but dosnt add a slash at the end.
Useful to use before sending blend files to the renderfarm.
* Make all Paths Relative - makes any absolute paths relative.
* Report Missing Files - creates a textblock listing all missing files.
* Find Missing Files - searches a directory recursively for filenames that dont exist at their current path.
Added a path looper type and functions that currently loop on image, sound, font and external library paths.
* BLI_arithb.h - isnan definition is only needed for MSVC, but gcc/mingw complains about it
* file-selectors - moved BLI_storage_types.h or sys/stat.h includes before BLI_winstuff.h includes, to silence warnings about S_ISDIR.
This code adds a basic and simple skeleton generator.
Examples and links are in the wiki, docs will come eventually: http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Theeth/skeletor
In a nutshell, select a vertex at the top of the head and press "Generate Skeleton". UI Panel is in the Editing buttons in Edit Mode, tooltips and semi-useful.
was actually due to a numerical issue in the matrix to quaternion
conversion code (which was from siggraph '85), now uses an improved
version. I hope nothing depends on the previous behavior.. though
it should only affect corner cases.
=========
- Fix crash in particle transform with the particle system not editable.
- Particle child distribution and caching is now multithreaded.
- Child particles now have a separate Render Amount next to the existing
Amount. The render amount particles are now only distributed and cached
at render time, which should make editing with child particles faster.
- Two new options for diffuse strand shading:
- Surface Diffuse: computes the strand normal taking the normal at
the surface into account.
- Blending Distance: the distance in Blender units over which to
blend in the normal at the surface.
- Special strand rendering for more memory efficient and faster hair and
grass. This is a work in progress, and has a number of known issues,
don't report bugs to me for this feature yet.
More info:
http://www.blender.org/development/current-projects/changes-since-244/particles/
modifier.c, BKE_modifier.h - flag for modifiers to say they use pointcache, also new func modifiers_usesPointCache
renamed //pointcache to //blendcache_blendfilename so blendfiles in the same dir dont conflict, and other to show this dir isnt limited to pointcache only (nodes way want to use this)
wizard_curve2tree.py - better defaults for pretty tree's
=========
Merge of the famous particle patch by Janne Karhu, a full rewrite
of the Blender particle system. This includes:
- Emitter, Hair and Reactor particle types.
- Newtonian, Keyed and Boids physics.
- Various particle visualisation and rendering types.
- Vertex group and texture control for various properties.
- Interpolated child particles from parents.
- Hair editing with combing, growing, cutting, .. .
- Explode modifier.
- Harmonic, Magnetic fields, and multiple falloff types.
.. and lots of other things, some more info is here:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/Particles_Rewritehttp://wiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/Particles_Rewrite_Doc
The new particle system cannot be backwards compatible. Old particle
systems are being converted to the new system, but will require
tweaking to get them looking the same as before.
Point Cache
===========
The new system to replace manual baking, based on automatic caching
on disk. This is currently used by softbodies and the particle system.
See the Cache API section on:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/PhysicsSprint
Documentation
=============
These new features still need good docs for the release logs, help
for this is appreciated.
NLA Window, Strip blending mode "Add" didn't work at all.
It was using very bad quaternion addition. Replaced with proper code.
For devs; new is the function QuatMulFac(quat, factor) which allows to
multiply a rotation with a value (make it rotate more or less)
* Added Windows specific implementation for fnmatch taken from GNU/MINGW/MSYS C library
* behaviour should now be the same as under Linux and other OSs
* changed filename for fnmatch.h to ensure we include the correct one if we link with the included implementation
* tested compile with MSVC 7.1 and gcc(MinGW-5.1.3) on Windows.
- brought back the check for a valid relative base when selecting.
- kept the check for when file is saved too and warning message is printed to console instead of popping up.
Also fixed BLI_split_filedir overwriting parameter passed as const char*
====================
The MeshDeform modifier can deform a mesh with another 'cage' mesh.
It is similar to a lattice modifier, but instead of being restricted
to the regular grid layout of a lattice, the cage mesh can be modeled
to fit the mesh better.

Implementation Notes:
- OpenNL has been refactored a bit to allow least squares matrices to
be built without passing the matrix row by row, but instead with
random access. MDef doesn't need this actually, but it's using this
version of OpenNL so I'm just committing it now.
- Mean value weights for polygons have been added to arithb.c, a type
of barycentric coordinates for polygons with >= 3 vertices. This
might be useful for other parts of blender too.
New listbase functions:
void BLI_insertlinkafter(struct ListBase *listbase, void *vprevlink, void *vnewlink);
- corrolary to insertlinkbefore
BLI_sortlist(struct ListBase *listbase, int (*cmp)(void *, void *));
- simple in place sorting method. NOT optimized, so use for small lists only. Uses a variant of insertion sort (I was lazy, people should feel free to rewrite).
- on unix BLI_diskfree was only using 100 chars for the dir name, and
not checking if the name given was longer, increased to FILE_MAXDIR
(160) and added a check, return -1 if its too long.
The file selector only allowed 80 chars to be typed into the directory
entry.
Made the file selector check that the path is less then FILE_MIXDIR, if
you try and enter a path thats longer it will tell you that the path is
too long, before it was writing into other memory and crashing.
