- Rename "Viewport Info" to "Text Info".
Name was too vague, nearly everything is information,
this currently only controls overlay text.
- Swap text-info & 3D-cursor, making 3D-cursor less prominent.
- Logical use of fields since they define type information.
- Avoids using ordered-dict metaclass.
Properties using regular assignments will print a warning and load,
however the order is undefined.
This brings the Object Visibility dropdown closer to overlays which
also controls visibility of elements int he viewport, so it makes more
sense there. Also placing the Overlays settings closer to the viewport.
Sub-panels for shading, measurement, normals, freestyle and developer.
Less-used sub-panels will be collapsed by default once their implementation
is complete (fixing spacing between sub-panels, adding the triangle to collapse, etc).
Also added missing check for overlays on/off on existing sub-panels.
* Unify X-Ray/Shadow toggle and factor, using the whole width gives you finer control
* Shadow settings next to intensity slider
* Cavity settings next to Ridge/Valley sliders
* Collapse Cavity settings when not used
* Make MatCap preview and browser dialog smaller. MatCaps are added by the user
so she is already familiar with how they look. No need to preview them that big
while browsing. To see the MatCaps in detail we have the User Preferences/Asset Manager.
Having popovers inside popovers triggers some minor glitches that will be addressed later.
(e.g. they open on mouse over and the popover arrow is not aligned)
Group Object Type Visibility with the viewport settings in the header.
The eye icon is a placeholder. A new icon is needed to better communicate
the user at a glance if all (or none) object types are enabled, or why certain types
are not visible/selectable in the viewport.
Part of design: T55863
When tweaking the shading/overlays settings through the popovers,
these get on the way of the content in the viewport. Making it hard to
see the result of our changes.
Unfortunately this breaks consistency with other headers where the snapping
tools are aligned to the right, but the benefits outweigh the costs.
Organize content in categories/sub-panels.
The result is a more organized but slightly taller popover.
Once sub-panels are implemented code-wise, the alignment issues
(like panel label) and extra space between the content and panels
headers will be reduced. Together with the ability to have certain
less-used popovers collapsed by default, this will make the
popover more compact.
Part of design: T55863
There are now 3 categories in the overlay popover:
- Navigation
- Active (camera, lamp... etc)
- Tool (manipulator)
The user preference for mini axis now controls if the mini axis
displays minimal or a full-interactive widget.
Part of design: T55863
This separate probe rendering from viewport rendering, making possible to
run the baking in another thread (non blocking and faster).
The baked lighting is saved in the blend file. Nothing needs to be
recomputed on load.
There is a few missing bits / bugs:
- Cache cannot be saved to disk as a separate file, it is saved in the DNA
for now making file larger and memory usage higher.
- Auto update only cubemaps does update the grids (bug).
- Probes cannot be updated individually (considered as dynamic).
- Light Cache cannot be (re)generated during render.
Instead of running code to create a keymap, store them as data.
This allows for keymaps to share content as well as running
transformations at load time.
