added _prop suffix to ui functions which take a prop rather then a propname, may change this later since its not that nice but for gsoc branches this keeps existing UI functions working the same.
Diff Keymaps
User edited keymaps now no longer override the builtin keymaps entirely, but
rather save only the difference and reapply those changes. This means they can
stay better in sync when the builtin keymaps change. The diff/patch algorithm
is not perfect, but better for the common case where only a few items are changed
rather than entire keymaps The main weakness is that if a builtin keymap item
changes, user modification of that item may need to be redone in some cases.
Keymap Editor
The most noticeable change here is that there is no longer an "Edit" button for
keymaps, all are editable immediately, but a "Restore" buttons shows for keymaps
and items that have been edited. Shortcuts for addons can also be edited in the
keymap editor.
Addons
Addons now should only modify the new addon keyconfiguration, the keymap items
there will be added to the builtin ones for handling events, and not get lost
when starting new files. Example code of register/unregister:
km = wm.keyconfigs.addon.keymaps.new("3D View", space_type="VIEW_3D")
km.keymap_items.new('my.operator', 'ESC', 'PRESS')
km = wm.keyconfigs.addon.keymaps["3D View"]
km.keymap_items.remove(km.keymap_items["my.operator"])
Compatibility
The changes made are not forward compatible, i.e. if you save user preferences
with newer versions, older versions will not have key configuration changes that
were made.
- icons were scaling by the sqrt(dpi)/8.48528, but infact they only need to be scaled by (dpi/72).
- UI_icon_get_width value was being used without multiplying by dpi scale.
Some people like curved lines, other hate them. This commit will let the user change the level of curving.
In UserPreferences=>Themes=>Node editor=>Noodle curving the level can be modified. Allowed range is 0-10 with the default on 5
The patch will default everything to the way blender works ATM.
File subversion has been increased otherwise older 258 files got straight lines.
The data is stored in the ThemeSpace.noodle_curving
the bezierdrawing is done in the drawnode. Also tested the Line cut tool
===========================
- Clip Editor now could be an owner for jobs. It was useful
when i've been attaching Peter's work in my local repo.
- Fixed mouse selection to handle offset correct.
===========================
- Fixed bug with copying colors to all selected markers.
- Hide mouse cursor when sliding from preview widget.
- Shit-key holded down during sliding in preview area makes
sliding more accurate.
- Fixed bug with preview area refresh when disabling colors.
===========================
- Internal change: do not use maroses for checking the only
one bit of track/marker flags.
- Do not display track name for disabled markers when
"Show Disabled" is turned off.
- Option to lock tracks. Locked tracks can't be be moved,
scaled, re-tracked and so.
===========================
- Remove set but not used variable in clip buttons.
- Set keyframe when sliding marker with mouse.
- Also set keyframe when sliding from preview widget.
===========================
- Sliding from preview could now be undone.
- Fixed memory leak caused by NULL-ing used scopes on
layout restore.
- Fixed possible crash after splitting space clip.
===========================
- ColaMD moved from OpenNL to extern/.
It'll be needed for libmv. Also, it's a bit updated from
year 1999 to 2007.
Need to be tested for regressions.
- Updated bundling script for libmv. Now it uses fuller
subset of this library.
- Bundled new libmv.
- Request from Keir: add command line argument to toggle logging
stuff on. Currently, if Blender is launched with -d argument
libmv would start printing logging messages. There's no
argument to increase verbosity, but there's API in libmv-capi,
so it'll be easy to add.
- Finally fixed crash when ibuf is acquiring with user=NULL.
- Added ActiveClip property to the scene. This clip is used
as default value for new match-moving constraints.
- Added some flags to Display panel of View3D. Related on
displaying match-moving stuff.
- Internal change: bundles data moved inside to MovieTrackingTrack.
- Initial implementation of 3d reconstruction.
- Added constraint "Camera Solver". This constraint is supposed
to be used to make camera follow the reconstructed camera path.
- Added "reference" property to "Follow Track" constraint.
Now object could be "parented" to 2D track position or to
3D bundle position.
The very quick guide:
To use reconstruction you should have footage with tracked markers,
choose two keyframes in "Tracking settings" panel. There should be
quite noticeable parallax effect between this two frames. This
is used to initialize reconstruction stuff.
Camera data (focal length and optical center) should be filled in
"Camera Data" panel. Optical center is often the center of image,
so it'll be filled in automatically.
You should also set values for undistortion (K1, K2 and K3). Currently,
there's no any visualization for this parameters and approach of
"change value -> reconstruct -> see what've changed" is the only way
for now.
Libmv team is working on auto-calibration tool, so it should be
easier to gather this coefficients in nearest (i hope) future.
There's also no scene orientation stuff.
Basic workflow:
- Open footage.
- Set markers and track them.
- Fill in camera data and keyframes.
- Hit "Solve Camera" button.
- Add "Camera Solver" constraint to camera in scene.
- Choose movieclip in that constraint.
- To see bundles in 3D viewport active clip should be set
in scene buttons.
