- AO and soft shadow AreaLight tables were generated without fixed seed,
causing animations to give unwanted amounts of noise.
- Made sure these tables now are calculated before render, with fixed seed
- Then found out the BLI_rand() has very bad seeding... it showed up as
patterns. After some experimenting, found a nice method using noise.c
hash tables. For compatibility with old code, named it BLI_srandom() to
use this next to the BLI_srand(). This follows libc rand() and random()
naming convention.
- Then of course threading should work... so made a BLI_thread_rand version
of the calls. Now supports up to 16 threads, comments added in .h and .c
Result is stable animation render with AO and soft shadow. But, please
test and feedback!
Main target was cleanup of editconstraint.c and removal of the ugly
ob->activecon (active constraint channel), which was set by the "Show"
button in the Constraint Panel.
Better is to introduce an 'Active Constraint' itself, which stores in
the Constraint itself. By using this setting, and by checking the active
Bone, the UI can update reliably now. This only shows now in IpoWindow
btw (for constraint ipos). The active Constraint is drawn in the Buttons
with a slightly brighter backdrop. Any action in that Panel selects a
constraint now (even click in backdrop).
So now we have pose channels & constraint channels nicely behaving. Now the
darn Action channels... :)
Further in this commit:
- interface.c: Button ROUNDBOX now does button callback too.
Button NUMSLI didn't do the callback on a click only
- Cleaned up include files in yafray, got annoyed it compiled over all the
time.
- removed unused variables from Constraint struct
time being, misses features for texture/color drawing and I don't
have time to finish at the moment. can return once UV/colors are
incorporated into subdivision.
deformation options of Armatures, causing bones not to deform.
It was caused by using the old "boneclass" variable and SKINNABLE.
Apparently the boneclass can have any value in older files. Will be killed.
Please note; in files created after last sunday, with setting "No deform" on a
Bone, that setting has to be done again.
- convert weightpaint/vertexpaint to draw using drawMappedFaces, slightly
hacky because during weightpaint mcol's get overridden in order to
have them propogate through modifiers. should work fine.
- add NULL check in shaded draw, prevents crash w/ dupliframe
including implementation. hope it works, and doesn't break to much.
it bakes physics objects transform into ipo, every frame of the running gameengine.
When you disable and run the game again, it clears the ipo's again. just for physics objects at the moment.
(perhaps some better UI in the future?)
Adding Ipos on a Constraint just was working totally insane. Here's how
it works now in the constraint Panel:
- Button "Show" will make the IpoWindow show the Constraint Ipo
(it didn't before, when IpoWindow was not set to correct mode)
- Button "Key" will insert a key point on current frame (and show it in
IpoWindow)
Note that both options will create an Action too, if not existed yet.
So, without opening an IpoWindow you can already animate Constraints.
(Todo: use the auto key option to always insert on changing slider)
And; selecting a Bone will update the Constraint IpoWindow too. Note
however, that when theres multiple Constraint Ipos on a Bone, it only
shows the first... will solve that later.
- Vpaint and Wpaint now use our own custom cursor, this was a very old
plan anyway. It uses the 'knife' now, we need a good brush icon for it!
- On scaling bones in editmode, the deform distance info gets scaled now
too when no "Envelope" draw mode was set.
- Disabled front buffer drawing of objects with CTRL+select in Edit Mode.
Uses a regular redraw now (like for select in Object Mode btw)
- default the m_edgecode to 65535, the wireframe was invisible. when is the edgecode available again ?
- added an extra condition, nearsensor is not yet working for bullet, but it crashed.
- Armature deform options "Envelope" and "Vertexgroup" didn't combine. One
Vertexgroup added disabled all Envelopes
- "Clear" option in WPaint Panel now sends refresh to deform
- Same for Undo in Wpaint
- revert to drawLooseEdges instead of general drawEdgesFlag
- ditched TFace edge flags, done dynamically now which also
means don't need to recalc surface on flag changes
- added BLI_edgehash, guess what it does
- Hotkey CTRL+TAB toggles weightpaint on/off
- If Mesh has no vertex groups yet, it still accepts Weight Paint mode.
Then, on a first painting stroke it creates a default group.
- When combining WeightPaint mode with Bone selecting, if you select a
Bone without vertex group it draws Mesh dark blue. On a first painting
stroke it then also creates a new group, with the Bone name.
Armature Panel
- "Vertex Groups"
- "Envelope"
Bones Panel
- "Mult"
The logic works as follows;
- Set "Vertex Groups" will enable vertex group based deform (default)
- Set "Envelope" will enable Bone Envelopes to deform
- Set both will apply Envelope deform on vertices without VertexGroups
- Set the per-Bone "Mult" option to have Envelopes work on top of a
VertexGroup
- The per-Bone "Deform" option (was called "Skinnable") will dis/enable
the Bone to deform for all situations.
The old convention was that, without any vertex groups, the Bones deformed
with bone-distances. I can't patch that... so you have to enable it by
hand in older files. Not too bad, since this option was unusable before
anyway. :)
- BPy_Material_methods[] "setFilter" calls Material_setFresnelMirrFac()
- Material_setSpecSmooth() should be setting param[3], not param[2]

- corrections to constants
- parameter type checking
- correct use of METH_VARARGS vs METH_NOARGS
- return objects instead of strings in Scene.getChildren() as per doc.
- correct logical operators
Thanks, Ken!
This works pretty nice for better control over the curvature of any bone
deform. No need to give Bones (vgroups) large influence, just add a coupleof B-bone segments.
Two notes;
- The Bone property "Segments" defines if a deform happens as a 'B-bone'.
The drawtype B-bone is just for display in 3d window.
- A B-bone also deforms (bends) in Rest-position, if there's a joint that
creates a curved Bone. Therefore, best results you get by creating a
rest-position with straight joints. Or, if you prefer a slightly bended
restposition (for a spine or so), make sure the Mesh model is *not*
curved, the B-bone will do this for you.
Also added: proper events on changing buttons for Bones, like "Segm" or
"Dist" etc.
to get rid of faces with MFace.v3==0
- change all Mesh's to have ->medge now. This is forced by make_edges
on readfile, and in the various exotic important routines, and on
conversion back in python.
- make python NMesh structure always have medges now (needs testing)
- with above two changes it is guarenteed that mf->v3 is never ==0
in main blender code (i.e., all MFace's are actually triangles
or quads) and so I went through and removed all the historic tests
to deal with MFace.v3==0. Equals lots of deleting, I am in heaven!
- removed MEdge edcode flag, no longer needed
- added experimental replacement for edge flag system
Still are some inconsistencies in FACESELECT mode edge drawing to
be ironed out.
NOTE: This commit adds an experimental edge flag calc system, based
on 10-seconds-of-thought algorithm by yours truly. Would appreciate
feedback on how this system works, esp compared to old one and esp
on complex or interesting models.
To Use: New system is enabled by setting G.rt to a value between
1 and 1000 (Value of 0 uses old system). Value 1000 is reserved for
"auto" edge, which is more or less identical to old system but also
makes sure that at least 10% of edges are drawn (solves errors for
super subdivided meshes). Values between 1 and 999 act as percent
(out of 1000) of edges that should be drawn, starting with "most
interesting" edges first. Please try it and comment!
Press ALT+B in 3d window, draw a rect, and it becomes a clipping
volume of 4 planes. You then can rotate the view anyway you like.
Works for each 3d window individually.
Disable it with another ALT+B press.
Commit is huge because it had to change all selection code as well.
The user-clipping planes are in 'eye space', the other clipping
happens in projected 'viewport space'.
Nice to notice is that the 'x=3200' convention (to denote a coordinate
is clipped) now is a define. Define value is still a number though... but
we now can get up to screens of 12000 pixels without issues!
Known issue; here it refuses to draw the 'object centers' or Lamp icons
within the clipping region. Can't find any reason for it... however, we
might move to non-pixmaps for it anyway.
Testing might reveil numerous issues, will be standby for it.
