* Again, some layout code cleaning.
* Made assignments more consistent.
I started to write code guidelines in the wiki:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/LayoutFiles-Code_Guidelines
Matt/William: You are welcome to change them or add new infos, I will continue on improving them as well in the next few days.
This allows users to test the types of those objects that are returned
by API functions, by means of usual Python idioms such as "type(I) is T"
and "isinstance(I, T)".
* Removed all occurrences of ViewVertex::castToTVertex() in the following
modules and rewrote the code segments using it by means of the "type(I)
is T" idiom mentioned above:
ChainingIterators.py
PredicatesU1D.py
* Replaced all occurrences of vector.Vec2, vector.Vec3, Vec2f and Vec3f
by Blender.Mathutils.Vector in the following modules:
anisotropic_diffusion.py
Functions0D.py
shaders.py
sketchy_topology_broken.py
* shaders.py: Fixed NameError's concerning math.pow().
* shaders.py: Added a Python equivalent of getFEdge function, defined
in source\blender\freestyle\intern\view_map\Functions0D.cpp as follows:
FEdge* Functions0D::getFEdge(Interface0D& it1, Interface0D& it2) {
return it1.getFEdge(it2);
}
* shaders.py: Replaced fe.qi() by fe.viewedge().qi().
* contour.py: Fixed the import statement for freestyle_init.py.
lay = result.layers[0]
lay.rect_from_file("somefile.png", part.x, part.y)
If the source image is bigger then the render layer x/y offsets can be used to choose the part of the image use.
* operator for create new directory activated (IKEY)
* operator for rename (works on files and directories so far) (CTRL+LMB)
Note: fail to rename is rather quiet, no message popup, just doesn't rename if it can't.
So far checked that (On Windows Vista) rename fails on system directories, which I think acceptable.
Note: I removed the code that (silently) deletes file if I rename file to an existing one. Considered harmful :)
- running a script from a file now uses the PyRun_File(FILE *, ...) rather then PyRun_String("exec(open(r'/somepath.py').read())"...), aparently FILE struct on windows could not ensured to be the same between blender and python, since we use our own python on windows now it should be ok.
- generating docs works again (operator update for py style syntax broke them)
- python operator doc strings was being overwritten
- added rna property attribute "default" to get the default value of a property, not working on arrays currently because variable length arrays are not supported.
Various fixes for painting, sculpting and particle edit, still
much to be done...
* Move RNA paint and sculpt structs into rna_sculpt_paint.c,
* Added Particle Edit RNA.
* Some tweaks to existing Paint RNA.
* Put texture paint and particle edit object in context.
* Fix some errors in the brush layout, properly doing None
checks, fixing some wrong property identifiers.
* Added tool enum for texture paint and particle edit in panels.
* Allow editing brush textures in the texture buttons, still with
a stupid toggle, ideas for how to make the connection better are
welcome.
* Diffuse/specular ramps works again.
* Wire is now a material type next to Surface and Halo.
* Removed Volume material type option until it is actually there.
* Some button layout tweaks.
missing commits from peter 20942, 21165, 21170, 21174, 21597
these files still need manual merging
source/blender/makesdna/DNA_sequence_types.h
source/blender/src/sequence.c
source/blender/src/seqeffects.c
source/blender/src/editseq.c
source/blender/include/BSE_sequence.h
* Added operators in Toolbar for Object Mode too. (Mesh only).
I think it should be there too, going into edit mode and select all just to change the shading of the whole mesh is not good. ;-)
* Armature:
- added: fill, merge, separate
- renamed: duplicate, align
* Pose:
- added: apply pose
* Armature Edit menu has been converted to use operators/layout now
- shift+b in the console would do border zoom (rather then upper case B), fixed by making v2d's border zoom check if the v2d's zoom is locked.
- blender in debug mode registers all operators, useful for testing.
* Some Code cleanup.
* Added 3-Split Operator into the panel and some options (which don't work yet)
* Added RNA for RegionView3D lock and box options.
* Fix crash loading particle AnimData. This crashed many BBB
files. If you have a .blend file that crashes when loading
it in 2.5, please mail me, I'd like to know.
* Image window zoom ratio did not work correct with py 2.x.
* Other minor fixes for image window RNA.
* Buttons window now remembers the tab that was last clicked
by the user, even if that tab is no longer available due
to context, and then enable the tab again if the context
for it is back.
* Cleaned up buttons space DNA a bit, removing unused vars.
* Armature bone rename outside edit mode did not call right
function yet.
* Armature layers are now editable even if lib linked. This
is useful for proxies. For this purpose a PROP_LIB_EXCEPTION
flag was added. Need to think over proxy / RNA a bit though,
not sure what the requirements are yet.
* Parent to Armature Deform now has options to create vertex
groups, instead of always creating them.
Added cursor location to the view panel in 3D view.
Removed the Shade Smooth/Flat buttons from mesh data for two reasons:
These kinds of tools are more appropriate in the tools area, and the context would not always match the selected datablock, if you have multiple objects selected, or if you're viewing the mesh data tab in 'pinned' mode.
The shade smooth/flat buttons are in the edit mode tools area now.
Improved the brush tools UI and added a bunch of brush controls. There seems to be some RNA magic missing for texture paint to work, so that's empty for now. Added tablet pressure buttons, which needs a new icon.
Added a bunch of tools in a categorized fashion for all edit modes. Need to figure out what to do for vert/edge/face specific tools - perhaps it could detect the mode setting and show most appropriate tools for each mode.
An engine to use for output can now be selected an influences what
shows in the buttons window, only showing relevant data. The idea
behind this is to make it more clear what is supported where, make
the system more pluggable for external render/game engines, and save
space hiding stuff that is not relevant anyway.
* Top header now has an engine menu, to choose between the blender
render engine, game engine, and other future external engines.
* If the game engine is enabled, the buttons window should show
only properties that work in the game engine, and similarly for
the render engine.
* Moved panels from the logic space and game tabs to the physics,
scene and world tabs instead, and removed the game tab.
* Materials and textures tabs should eventually become game
specific too, to better show what is supported.
* Clean up File menu, added back recover last session op.
* .blend compress now behaves a bit different, previously
it would only respect the user preference. Now it saves
existing files the same way they are saved, and new files
following the user preference. The save operator has a
Compress toggle in the file browser left panels now.
* Add menu working again, some fixes to make these operators
work outside the 3d view were needed.
* Timeline menu removed, its contents will be moved to the
timeline header menus.
* Game menu can now start game, changed the start game op
to choose another 3d view if none is available.
* Render menu has a few items now.
* Help menu contains a few links again.
* Buttons header: made tab buttons bigger, remove view menu,
replaced by RMB menu in main region.
* Timeline header: tweak button placement and alignment, added
a play reverse icon.
* Window type chooser menu: removed audio and scripts windows,
change console and logic icons.
* Node space: disable the channel region until it is used.
- freeing strings returned by RNA struct functions in RNA_parameter_list_free
Unit tests:
- check that BKE_export_image actually creates a file. This test is becoming dangerous: it creates and deletes files under /tmp.
Having written this complicated test function I now realize it's much easier to write tests in a scripted language, which gives more
freedom in expressions and need not be compiled.
- replaced BKE_copy_images with BKE_export_image, now it handles only one image at a time, this is better since for exporters it is
easier to export one image at a time writing new image path to a file
- exposing BKE_export_image in RNA as Image.export, interestingly, RNA allowed me to define a function with PROP_STRING return type
although it doesn't free memory, will fix that in the next commit
- removed bpy.util.copy_images
Unit tests:
- re-wrote a test for BKE_export_image, it's more compact now
- moved unit tests to the creator module to avoid another executable, now running tests with `blender --test`
- as before, unit tests are built only if WITH_BF_UNIT_TEST is non 0
Particle point cache can now be loaded from external files.
- Activated by "external" checkbox in cache panel and giving proper folder path and file name identifier.
- External cache panel has controls for particle emission start, end, lifetime and random lifetime. These should be set according to the external data for correct playback.
- External files should be named "identifier_frame_index.bphys" or "identifier_frame.bphys" where:
* "identifier" is a freely choseable name.
* "frame" is the cached frame number.
** Six digits padded with zeros!, for example "000024".
* "index" can be used to tell caches with the same identifier apart.
** Two digits starting from zero.
** The index and the underscore before are optional. If no index is present the index number in ui should be set to -1.
- Cache file format is pure floating point numbers (in binary, not text!) with each particle's data one after the other with the following data members:
* 3 floats: particle's location vector
* 3 floats: particle's velocity vector (per second)
* 4 floats: particle's rotation quaternion
* 3 floats: particle's angular velocity vector (per second)
* 1 float: frame of the actual data (this can be non-integer for particles that are born or die between two integer frames, but otherwise should be the same as the "frame" in the file name)
- Cache files don't have to exist for each frame.
* Frames without actual data are interpolated from surrounding frames that have data (extrapolation is not supported).
- Cache file formats with extended (or reduced even) data members are in future plans for easier usage.
- Current code only does particles, don't yet know if it's applicable to cloth or sb.
- Known issue: endianness can't yet be handled in any way.
Other changes:
New hard limits for many particle parameters. Some examples:
- Maximum amount of particles: 10M particles :) And before you all go and crash your Blender trying this out remember that this limit is only for those freaks who really have the machine power to handle it. 10M particles alone take around 2.2 Gb of memory / disk space in saved file and each cached frame takes around 0.5 Gb of memory / disk space depending on cache mode.
* Known issue: To actually use this many particles they most likely need to be allocated in parts as taking hold of a 2.2Gb chunk of memory at once is probably not ok with any operating system.
- Maximum amount of children: 100k children/particle (1T childparticles here we come :D)
- Kink frequency: -100k to 100k half-rotations (really strange the previous limit was only from zero upwards)
- Path draw steps: 10 (power of 2 remember)
- Path render steps: 20 (power of 2 also!! If over 1M segments doesn't get you smooth paths then I think nothing will!)
This adds a RenderEngine type to RNA, which can be subclassed
in python (c++ will follow once we support subclassing there).
It's very basic, but plugs into the pipeline nicely. Two example
scripts:
http://www.pasteall.org/6635/pythonhttp://www.pasteall.org/6636/python
Issues:
* Render runs in a separate thread, and there is unrestricted
access, so it's possible to crash blender with unsafe access.
* Save buffers and full sample are not supported yet.
Patch by Alfredo de Greef. Considerably improves the quality of bump
mapping, and texture filtering for displacement and warp too. Mainly
this is achieved by getting the texture derivatives just right in
various cases, many thanks to Alfredo for figuring this one out, works
great.
This is enabled by default now, but disabled still for existing
textures to preserve backwards compatibility. Can be enabled with
the "New Bump" option in the material texture slot in the outliner.
Also, I made the range for the normal factor a bit smaller since this
gives stronger effects, but note that you can still type in larger
values than the slider allows.
Patch by Alfredo de Greef with high quality image texture filters.
This adds 3 new filters:
* SAT: Summed Area Tables. This is like mipmaps, but using somewhat
more memory avoids some artifacts.
* EWA: Ellipitical Weighted Average, anisotropic filter.
* FELINE: Fast elliptical lines for anisotropic texture mapping.
The one change I made to this was to try to fix an alpha/premul
problem, hopefully I didn't break anything, it looks compatible
with the existing filter now for me.
* World and Lamp previews now working here too.
* Experiment with list template, showing only icons. Unfortunately
texture icon render crashes combined with preview render so it
shows all icons the same.
* Influence panels updated, with slider for each option. The values
are still linked though, will fix that later.
* Image texture controls a bit more complete, still WIP.
* Color ramp back.
* Added a new UI Template for the 3-colour picker used to visualise + select the custom colours for a bone group.
* Finished wrapping the colour properties for Bone Groups in RNA. Although changing the colour-set used will change the displayed/cached colours, changing the colours via the colour wells will not change the colour set to 'custom' (as per 2.4x) yet. This needs a nice solution...
* Fixed context-related bugs with the Assign/Remove operators for bone groups. These were using context-iterators for selected posechannels, but that was only defined/valid for the 3d view (but not for the buttons window), hence a failure in that case.
* Added Bone Groups UI to 'Armature' context buttons for now. Later, it may be more convenient to have these with bones instead?
* Added operators for the operations that can be performed on these groups. Moved the core adding/removing functions to blenkernel so that they can be used elsewhere in future if need be.
* Properly wrapped bone groups in RNA. Copied the way that Vertex Groups are wrapped, since they share some similarities. Setting colours for bone groups still needs more work though.
Moved Shade Smooth/Flat from Mesh obdata panel to tools area. These kinds of operator tools aren't really allowed in the buttons window anymore - whole point of new tools area :)
The only operators that are allowed in buttons window are things that act on the RNA fields, like add/remove buttons for adding vertex groups etc.
