Currently only put sources of Ceres library into extern/libmv/third_party and
setup CMake and SCons building systems.
Integration details:
- Even CMake build files are not re-used from Ceres's trunk: they're using some
automatic stuff detection like glog, pthreads, protobuf and so and it's not
so clear how to re-use that files without modifications.
And IMO it's easier if build files are getting re-generated automatically to
match Blender-specific setup rather than keeping changes made locally in
Blender in sync when re-bundling Ceres library. Especially in case when it's
alerady needed to support SCons build system.
- Integrated only actual sources, all tests were stripped. Probably it'll be nice
to have them, but they'll need clear integration with current module test stuff
in Blender.
Hopefully integration went smooth.
- Suitesparse was disabled. It'll help a lot having it, but there are some difficulties
making cholmod working fine on windows. Would be added in future
- collections_port.cc was also stripped. It's not used by Ceres's upstream and
it gives compilation error (undefined uint32 -- looks like namespace issue).
- Currently all schur eliminators are included. Not sure if it makes sense,
also not sure if it makes sense having them switchable on and off -- IMO better
to have single configuration which works and does not require special tweaks
after everything was set up.
- Personally i'd say if some of Ceres modules are not used better to drop it
away -- all symbols would be stripped anyway, but it'll be waste of compilation
time which is annoying in cases when one doing, say, binary search of revision
at which some regression was introduced. Especially when it's easy to add modules
which should be used by Blender.
But as long as it stays in Tomato i'm not worrying much about this.
To bundle updated version of Ceres:
- You'll need to use GIT-SVN checkout,
Re-bundling Ceres using SVN is still NOT supported!
- Go to extern/libmv/third_party/ceres folder
- Run ./bundle.sh
This will checkout fresh Ceres snapshot of Windows branch (which is currently
most interesting from integration into Blender POV), apply all patches listed
in patches/series and copy needed files into Blender's working copy. This will
also re-generate CMake/SCons build rules.
If you'll need extra files from Ceres repository which are not present in
Blender, you'll need to copy them manually and then run ./mkfiles.sh from
extern/libmv/third_party/ceres folder which will update list of files used
by Blender.
Thanks all Ceres developers for this library and thanks to Keir Mierle with
help integrating Ceres into Blender!
- Added new dtaablock called Mask which might be re-used in any area.
Currently editing of masks happens in clip editor and they might be used in
compositor nodes only.
- Added new mode to clip clip editor to interact with masks.
Implemented basic tools to create shapes, splines and points. Also implemented
idea of UW points for feather which means feather points are have got U
coordinate along spline (which is measured from 0 to 1) and W is it's weight
meaning distance from main spline.
- Spline points might be parented to movie tracks.
Interface for this isn't best yet.
- Rasterisaztion of masks happens in compositor node (Input -> Mask)
Input image of this ode is used as reference for mask resolution.
Currently all splines of all shapes are rasterizing independently which
means shapes with holes are not supported.
Also feather rasterization is not implemented.
Rasterized was implemented by Pete Larbell, thanks!
Do not consider this is something finished, there's still lots of things to
be done (especially from interface and usability points of view).
* made bmesh_structure.h function names more consistant.
* remove unused code in bmesh_structure.c
* removed 'Edge Flip' operator (missing from bmesh but looked into trunk feature and dont think its worth keeping).
* tagged some BMESH_TODO's
=========================
Documentation: http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Psy-Fi/UV_Tools
Major features include:
*16 bit image support in viewport
*Subsurf aware unwrapping
*Smart Stitch(snap/rotate islands, preview, middlepoint/endpoint stitching)
*Seams from islands tool (marks seams and sharp, depending on settings)
*Uv Sculpting(Grab/Pinch/Rotate)
All tools are complete apart from stitching that is considered stable but with an extra edge mode under development(will be in soc-2011-onion-uv-tools).
- use more logical names for strings, noticed too many strings called `str` when reviewing name patch.
- pass __func__ macro to uiBeginBlock(), quite a few names were wrong (copy/paste error).
The rendering device is now set in User Preferences > System, where you can
choose between OpenCL/CUDA and devices. Per scene you can then still choose
to use CPU or GPU rendering.
Load balancing still needs to be improved, now it just splits the entire
render in two, that will be done in a separate commit.
details:
- setting format options from python isnt possible anymore since this isnt exposed via op->properties, python should use image.save() function instead.
- image save UI now hides 'Relative' option when copy is selected since it has no effect.
- default image depth is set to 8 or more if the image has no float buffer, otherwise its set to 32 or less.
other fixes:
- image new was adding an image with a filepath set to "untitled", if this file happened to exist in the current directory a save on the generated image would overwrite it, now initialize to empty path.
- BKE_ftype_to_imtype was returning an invalid value if ftype==0.
