* Fixed memory leak when baking image sequences.
* Fixed sub-steps when brush was controlled by a parent object.
* Added option to select active outputs for paint surfaces.
* Improved color mixing algorithm.
* Improved memory allocation behavior.
* Memory is now freed even in case of errors.
* Removed "initial color" setting, as it's better to adjust color from material.
* "Paint effects" system:
** Converted to use new data structures.
** Works now with any number of surrounding points.
** Re-implemented support for UV-image surfaces.
** Added support for vertex surfaces too.
** Improved color handling.
** Improved movement stability.
** "Drip" effect uses now Blender's force fields instead of just z-directional gravity like before. Now each surface point can have different force influence.
- comment/remove assignments from values to themselves.
- add case break statements (no functional change but some source code checkers notice).
- fix python errors when the sculpt brush is None.
In addition the billboards can be scaled by the particle velocity with optional head and tail factors (similar to line drawing options). This allows for pseudo-motionblur effects.
* Added vertex weight painting.
* Added dissolve/fade setting for every surface type.
* Restored image format and displace type selection for image sequences.
* Fixed a possible crash when OpenMP enabled.
* Attempt to fix surface rna paths.
* Fixed compile warnings.
* Image sequence anti-aliasing works again.
* Vertex color viewport preview now works with GLSL and textured view modes too.
* Added a new "inverse" setting for "volume + proximity" brush. With it brush only has effect within volume but effect is lower near the mesh surface.
- add support for IDProp array slicing, but not resizing.
- rename array attribute type to typecode and use chars 'f', 'd', 'i' which match pythons array module. (was using int's which only have a meaning internally).
- rename function 'convert_to_pyobject' to 'to_dict' and 'to_list' for IDProp group and array types respectively.
- remove 'len' array attribute, calling len(array) is fine.
Committed changes from previous weeks, biggest changes are:
* Canvas can now have multiple "surfaces" that each can have specific format, type and settings.
* Renewed UI to support this new system.
* Aside from old "image sequence" output format, Dynamic Paint can now work on vertex level as well. Currently vertex paint and displace are supported.
* Integrated vertex level painting with Point Cache.
* Added viewport preview for Point Cache surfaces.
Due to massive amount of changes, old Dynamic Paint saves are no longer supported. Also some features are temporarily missing or may not work properly.
This patch adds anisotropic filtering of textures in the viewport and the BGE. The quality of the filtering is adjustable in the user preferences under System. For more information on anisotropic filtering:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anisotropic_filtering
One current limitation of this setup (having the option a user preference) is it makes runtimes more troublesome. Runtimes don't have user preferences set, so for now the blender player defaults to 2x AF. Options will be added later to change this value (probably a command line option).
- fix python error when the object had an empty material slot
- initialize start frame from the current frame
- set frame range to 300000 max (which is blenders own maximum)
- mesh order was arbitrary, instead use selected -> active, removed invert option.
also fix for missing include in bpy_extras.view3d_utils
a) Enable the possibility to remove the "air bubble" around submerged collision object. This feature is enabled as standard for new files. The code was found in elbeem by nudelZ, coded and provided by Nils Thürey (thanks!)
b) Old baked files gets deleted if a new bake gets started (were overwritten before and resulted in weird old bake + new bake mixture) (idea by nudelZ)
* Sets up a particle system and an explode modifier.
* In "blend" mode requires two selected objects and creates "crossed keyed" particle systems between the objects for a simple blend effect where the first object explodes and then recombines as the second object.
* Also renamed the other quick effect operators as "Quick ..." to bring some consistency to the operators (also nice that now you can just write "quick" to the operator search and get all these operators).
added 'INTERNAL' operator flag so operators which are only meant to be called by other operators or internal use are not displayed to the user.
Currently only use this flag for the operator search toolbox, is ignored in debug mode.
=======================
Added option to baked named "Bake From Multires" which is avaliable for
normals baking and displacement baking.
If this option is enabled, then no additional hi-res meshes and render
structures would be created . This saves plenty of memory and meshes
with millions of faces could be successfully baked in few minutes.
Baking happens from highest level against viewport subdivision level,
so workflow is following:
- Set viewport level to level at which texture would be applied
during final rendering.
- Choose Displacement/Normals baking.
- Enable "Bake From Multires" option.
- You're ready to bake.
Displacement baker had aditional option named "Low Resolution Mesh".
This option is used to set if you want texture for realtime (games)
usage.
Internally it does the following:
- If it's disabled, displacement is calculated from subdivided
viewport level, so texture looks "smooth" (it's how default
baked works).
- If it's enabled, dispalcement is calculated against unsubdivided
viewport levels. This leads to "scales". This isn;t useful for
offline renders much, but very useful for creating game textures.
Special thanks to Morten Mikkelsen (aka sparky) for all mathematics
and other work he've done fr this patch!
- fix: user pref, window title was reset to 'Blender' on tab usage
- Undo history menu back:
- name "Undo History"
- hotkey alt+ctrl+z (alt+apple+z for mac)
- works like 2.4x, only for global undo, editmode and particle edit.
- Menu scroll
- for small windows or screens, popup menus now allow to display
all items, using internal scrolling
- works with a timer, scrolling 10 items per second when mouse
is over the top or bottom arrow
- if menu is too big to display, it now draws to top or bottom,
based on largest available space.
- also works for hotkey driven pop up menus.
- User pref "DPI" follows widget/layout size
- widgets & headers now become bigger and smaller, to match
'dpi' font sizes. Works well to match UI to monitor size.
- note that icons can get fuzzy, we need better mipmaps for it
