of editmode on the child object.
Problem was that the object custom data mask was not taken into account when
rebuilding the derivedmesh in some cases, which is needed for the derivedmesh
to contain the mapping back to the original vertices. Now this data mask is
used for any derivedmesh build that will be cached.
Also problematic was that the datamask for the active object was applied to
all objects in the scene, which caused the parent object to be recalculated
when it didn't need to be. Now this datamask is only used for the active object.
- when in wireframe mode: don't snap to faces, instead snap to the closest edge/vertex.
- when not in wireframe mode: snap to the front-most element (was a problem that it could snap to an edge/vert behind the face)
- reduce the distance for selecting ruler points, was too easy to accidentally drag a ruler.
Now copying a scene will also duplicate groups that consist entirely of objects
that are duplicated with the scene. The rigid body world will then also pointers
to these new groups.
The design changes coming with pynodes for the node editor allow editing multiple node groups or pinning. This is great for working on different node groups without switching between them all the time, but it causes a problem for viewer nodes: these nodes all write to the same Image data by design, causing access conflicts and in some cases memory corruption. This was not a problem before pynodes because the editor would only allow 1 edited node group at any time. With the new flexibility of node editors this restriction is gone.
In order to avoid concurrent write access to the viewer image buffer and resolve the ambiguity this patch adds an "active viewer key" to the scene->nodetree (added in bNodeTree instead of Scene due to otherwise circular DNA includes). This key identifies a specific node tree/group instance, which enables the compositor to selectively enable only 1 viewer node.
The active viewer key is switched when opening/closing node groups (push/pop on the snode->treepath stack) or when selecting a viewer node. This way only the "last edited" viewer will be active.
Eventually it would be nicer if each viewer had its own buffer per node space so one could actually compare viewers without switching. But that is a major redesign of viewer nodes and images, not a quick fix for bcon4 ...
Displays such information as current frame dimension,
frame number within image sequence/movie and in case
of image sequence input displays current file name of
a frame.
Not entirely happy with such approach, but was requested
a lot by artists.
rewrite to use only 2.
also use generic, reusable functions for selection flushing so each operator doesn't need to implement its own.
and merge more-less operation into the same function, just call the selection flush function with select/deselect arg.
Because of our release soon, feature has been added behind the Debug Menu.
CTRL+ALT+D and set it to -1. Or commandline --debug-value -1.
When debug set to -1, you can put the viewport to 'render' mode, just like
for Cycles. Notes for testers: (and please no bugs in tracker for this :)
- It renders without AA, MBlur, Panorama, Sequence, Composite
- Only active render layer gets rendered. Select another layer will re-render.
- But yes: it works for FreeStyle renders!
- Also does great for local view.
- BI is not well suited for incremental renders on view changes. This only
works for non-raytrace scenes, or zoom in ortho or camera mode, or for
Material changes. In most cases a full re-render is being done.
- ESC works to stop the preview render.
- Borders render as well. (CTRL+B)
- Force a refresh with arrow key left/right. A lot of settings don't trigger
re-render yet.
Tech notes:
- FreeStyle is adding a lot of temp objects/meshes in the Main database. This
caused DepsGraph to trigger changes (and redraws). I've prepended the names
for these temp objects with char number 27 (ESC), and made these names be
ignored for tag update checking.
- Fixed some bugs that were noticable with such excessive re-renders, like
for opening file window, quit during renders.
To achieve this, some code (callbacks and search button creation) was moved from wm_operators.c to interface/interface.c, and a new UI function was added, uiDefSearchButO_ptr.
Note: This new code uses the fact that uiButHandleFunc callbacks get executed before operator when one of its arg is the button itself!
Many thanks to Campbell who helped me a lot with this patch!
Cleanup: also removed two unused pointers from uiBut struct.
render of objects could slow things down when redrawing the view each time a new
sample is displayed.
Now it does a partial redraw of the viewport with only the render border area,
skipping OpenGL object drawing while the render is refining.
Doing linearization with GLSL was already faster, but even faster is to just read the
bytes instead of floats and convert those to linear, since byte => float is just a quick
256 entry table lookup. Also made it assign the bytes directly to the image buffer so
they do not need to be converted back from float to byte for file saving, and made sky
render write the background color with OpenGL instead of doing it on the CPU.
- add checks so rigid-body operators only return FINISHED when they make some changes to the scene.
- remove (scene == NULL) checks, poll already catches these.
- bevel had incorrect cancel when initialization failed which could crash (own mistake).
- main particle poll function didnt check if the area/region were NULL.
- some uv operators needed space image but didnt check for it. also use uv_ prefix for most operator functions.
- GLSL shader wasn't aware of alpha predivide option,
always assuming alpha is straight. Gave wrong results
when displaying transparent float buffers.
- GLSL display wasn't aware of float buffers with number
of channels different from 4, crashing when trying to
display image with different number of channels.
This required a bit larger changes, namely now it's
possible to pass format (GL_RGB, GL_RGBAm GL_LUMINANCE)
to glaDrawPixelsTex, This also implied adding format to
glaDrawPixelsAuto and modifying all places where this
functions are called.
Now GLSL will handle both 3 and 4 channels buffers,
single channel images are handled by CPU.
- Replaced hack for render result displaying with a bit
different hack.
Namely CPU conversion will happen only during render,
once render is done GLSL would be used for displaying
render result on a screen.
This is so because of the way renderer updates parts
of the image -- it happens without respect to active
render layer in image user. This is harmless because
only display buffer is modifying, but this is tricky
because we don't have original buffer opened during
rendering.
One more related fix here was about when rendering
multiple layers, wrong image would be displaying when
rendering is done. Added a signal to invalidate
display buffer once rendering is done (only happens
when using multiple layers). This solves issue with
wrong buffer stuck on the display when using regular
CPU display space transform and if GLSL is available
it'll make image displayed with a GLSL shader.
- As an additional change, byte buffers now also uses
GLSL display transform.
So now only dutehr and RGB curves are stoppers for
using GLSL for all kind of display transforms.
Uses GLSL for drawing image in Image Editor space.
This requires change in image_buffer_rect_update, so
original float buffer is being updated as well. This
is unlikely be something bad, but will keep an eye
on this change.
Also no byte buffer allocation happens there, this
is so because byte buffer used for display only
and in case of GLSL display such allocation and
partial update is just waste of time.
Also switched OpenGL render from using CPU color
space linearization to GLSL color space transform.
Makes OpenGL rendering pretty much faster (but
still slower than in 2.60).
internal changes:
- Added functions to setup GLSL shader for color
space conversion in colormanagement.c. Currently
conversion form a colorspace defined by a role to
linear space is implemented. Easy to extend to
other cases.
- Added helper functions to glutil.c which does
smarter image buffer draw (calling all needed OCIO
stuff, editors now could draw image buffer with a
single function call -- all the checks are done in
glutil.c).
- Also added helper function for buffer linearization
from a given role to glutil.c. Everyone now able to
linearize buffer with a single call.
This function will do nothing is GLSL routines fails
or not supported.
And one last this: this function uses offscreen
drawing, could potentially give issues on some
cards, also will keep an eye on this.
Implemented using GLSL API from OpenColorIO library and
some general functions were added to it's c-api:
- OCIO_setupGLSLDraw prepares OpenGL context for GPU-based
transformation for a giver processor.
This function compiles and links shader, sets up it's
argument. After this transformation would be applied
on an image displaying as a 2D texture.
So, glaDrawPixelsTex called after OCIO_setupGLSLDraw will
do a proper color space transform.
- OCIO_finishGLSLDraw restores OpenGL context after all
color-managed display is over.
- OCIO_freeOGLState frees allocated state structure used
for cacheing some GLSL-related stuff.
There're some utility functions in IMB_colormanagent which
are basically proxies to lower level OCIO functions but
which could be used from any place in blender.
Chacheing of movie clip frame on GPU is also removed now,
and either glaDrawPixelsTex or glaDrawPixelsAuto are used
for display now. This is so no code duplication happens
now and no large textures are lurking around in GPU memory.
Known issues:
- Texture buffer and GLSL are no longer checking for
video card capabilities, possibly could lead to some
artifacts on crappy drivers/cards.
- Only float buffers are displaying using GLSL, byte
buffers will still use fallback display method.
This is to be addressed later.
- If RGB curves are used as a part of display transform,
GLSL display will also be disabled. This is also thing
to be solved later.
Additional changes:
- glaDrawPixelsTexScaled will now use RGBA16F as an
internal format of storing textures when it's used
to draw float buffer. This is needed so LUT are
applied without precision loss.
- pass string size to BLI_timestr() to avoid possible buffer overrun.
- quiet warning for mingw.
- include guards for windows utf conversion funcs.
- fix for mistage in edge-angle-selection check.
- some style cleanup.
