Added a convenience operator to the Follow Path constraint which adds a F-Curve
for the path (or the operator's "fixed position" value if no path is assigned),
with options for setting the start frame and length of motion. This makes it
easier for common users to just set up a quick follow-path animation where the
camera (e.g. flying around a set over certain number of frames).
A key advantage of this is that it takes care of the underlying math required
for setting up the generator curve accordingly (I've got some plans for making
this a bit friendlier to use later). Now, animating the paths is a one-click
operation, with the start and length properties able to be controlled using the
operator properties.
Recently on the bf-funboard list, there have been some requests for clearer
indications for animators that autokeying has been enabled when transforming so
that corrective action can be taken sooner if this wasn't expected. This is
especially important in distributed+collaborative environments where multiple
artists may work on a single shot file: someone working on a shot from
another animator may not be aware that autokeying was enabled, thus accidentally
setting a whole bunch of extra keyframes.
In this current incarnation, we display using red (not hardcoded, but using an
existing theme color) a solid 1px border around the 3D view while transforming
with autokeying enabled. In addition to the border, a blinking indicator (record
icon + "Auto Keying On" text) appear in the top right corner, as inspired by the
traditional recording indicator icons on camcorders.
* Get rid of ED_object_add_generic_invoke() and all invoke callbacks using it, it was doing nothing exec() callbacks would not do. In fact, its only action (setting part of common add ops properties, like loc, layers, etc.) was needed too by direct exec call, so it was done twice in case of using invoke()!
* Replace custom invoke code for metaballs by WM_menu_invoke helper (as already used by lamps).
* Add a new OBJECT_OT_empty_add op, to allow direct addition of empties of a given drawtype.
* And some general code cleanup (like trailing spaces, empty lines, ...).
Did quite a bunch of tests/verifications, but obviously could not tackle all possible scenarios... Anyway, if any, bugs should arize quite quickly (but I don’t expect any! :p ).
- pose mode now checks if circle select intersects the bone if neither head/tail are reached (as with editmode)
- checking if the mouse intersects with the bone now checks that neither projection failed.
- use ED_view3d_project_int_object rather then the global version.
- vertex to screenspace projections were not checking for failure to project (vertex behind the view for eg).
- vertex screenspace 2d vectors were each malloc'd and added to own ghash, then fetched for each edge.
now just store a vertex aligned array and do index lookups.
- projections were done in global space, now do them in object space (avoids a matrix multiply).
- error cases were commented out and would fail silently, now report them to the operator.
- remove MAX_CUTS hard coded limit, dynamically allocate the mouse path.
- add missing free calls in error cases.
Generated and UV coordinates from the duplicator of instance instead of the
object itself.
This was used in e.g. Big Buck Bunny for texturing instanced feathers with
a UV map on the bird. Many files changed, mainly to do some refactoring to
get rid of G.rendering global in duplilist code.
The issue was caused by compositor was allocating float buffer for image and
then this buffer was filled with data converted from byte buffer.
If display happens at time between float was allocated and it was filled black
areas were appearing on the screen.
Made it so IMB_float_from_rect locks color management thread so display
transform wouldn't use uninitialized buffer anymore.
Also please define and use constants in BLF_translation.h rather than directly typing contexts' names, it's safer (typo would break at compile time, instead of generating more contexts!).
The issue was caused by SEQ_BEGIN macro modifying sequence's depth
which ruined transformation routines. Used own DFS instead which
doesn't modify sequences.
Also corrected some typos in api and comments.
This is apart of a code cleanup to make ED_view3d_project_short/ED_view3d_project_int/ED_view3d_project_float interchangeable. Currently they work very differently in a way thats quite confusing (and cause of bugs in blender that remain uncorrected) - fixes coming.
There are also cases where ED_view3d_project_short is used, then the values are converted from shorts into int's after because ED_view3d_project_int() behaves differently, will unify behavior of these functions after this commit.
- rather then clip/noclip versions, pass flags (for bound-box clip, window clip).
- rather then store the invalid clip-value, return success (or error value clip_near, clip_bb, clip_win, overflow).
- remove local copies of project functions from drawobject.c: view3d_project_short_clip, view3d_project_short_noclip, view3d_project_short_clip_persmat.
add functions:
- ED_view3d_project_short_global() global space projection
- ED_view3d_project_short_object() object space projection.
- ED_view3d_project_short_ex() take perspective matrix and local space option as args.
- ED_view3d_project_base() - special function to set the Object 'Base' screen coords (sx, sy), since this is a common enough operation.
ocio configuration file failed to load
This solves issues with infinite NULL-checks to prevent crashes in
such situations. Currently only happens if there's no configuration
file at all, but could be tweaked further to fallback if this file
isn't usable by blender.
On second thought, perhaps it is more convenient/natural if this was shown in
both places, given that many
people may only find the motion paths options through the UI now.
