Error in BLI_array_randomize(), an unused call in Blender until the
Build Modifier was added. It did a weird modulus I don't really grasp...
somehow that caused the bug (create a corrupt mesh). But why? Dunno...
Also fixed signature to const char* to indicate which parameters can be changed
to make it a bit safer, because constant strings are passed into this function
and changing them caused a crash.
- Python Drivers
In Ipo Window "transform properties" Panel, added the buttons, and the
initial handling (now only printing text). Willian makes it work!
- Better Matrix to Eul, code submitted by Brecht. No time yet to do it
really nice (like a Mat3ToEulCompat(mat, eul, eulc))
Now relative filenames that are not below the .blend file
in the directory hierarchy can be used.
CAUTION:
The relative filenames are not updated if the blend file
is moved to another dir or saved into another dir (save as)
We will rely on the smartness of the users for this.
my first official commit - thanks Ton!
hope it's somehow usable :-)
Colourpicker update:
-------------------
1) Converted numbuts to sliders and made the colourpicker wider. Sliders
are more useful for something like RGB and HSV because they're fixed
range values
2) Added a hex button for entering HTML-like color (#RRGGBB, can be
entered both with and without the hash sign).
This should completely replace the former strange NKEY functionality
in buttonswindows, and even add hex support for buttons which didn't
have it before.
Please test thoroughly, I never coded something in a hurry like this.
There are small rounding errors still... Maybe someone finds the
reason? :)
IK: needed to change abs() to TNT::abs() (thanks brecht!)
Freetype: FT_ENCODING_UNICODE typecast to FT_CharMap (thanks intrr!)
header_image: missing include for liballoc stuff
Ketsji: needed to declare m_hitObject as public in KX_MouseFocusSensor.h.
This is probably the wrong thing to do, but KX_MouseFocusSensor.cpp
compilation fails on line 279 otherwise.
Further information is available here:
http://wiki.blender.org/bin/view.pl/Blenderdev/UnicodeFont3D
Shortlist of features:
- Unicode character support for Font3D
- UI to select characters from Unicode character list
- UI to select Unicode table areas
- Optimized character loading (Load only those characters which are used
in font object)
Please test extensively if it breaks anything, try also loading/saving
files, packing fonts, etc.
The official text regression file in the regression suite should be a
good start.
Thanks to mikasaari for this very useful addition!
- AO and soft shadow AreaLight tables were generated without fixed seed,
causing animations to give unwanted amounts of noise.
- Made sure these tables now are calculated before render, with fixed seed
- Then found out the BLI_rand() has very bad seeding... it showed up as
patterns. After some experimenting, found a nice method using noise.c
hash tables. For compatibility with old code, named it BLI_srandom() to
use this next to the BLI_srand(). This follows libc rand() and random()
naming convention.
- Then of course threading should work... so made a BLI_thread_rand version
of the calls. Now supports up to 16 threads, comments added in .h and .c
Result is stable animation render with AO and soft shadow. But, please
test and feedback!
- revert to drawLooseEdges instead of general drawEdgesFlag
- ditched TFace edge flags, done dynamically now which also
means don't need to recalc surface on flag changes
- added BLI_edgehash, guess what it does
- removed {lattice,curve}_modifier functions
- changed render code to use displist for curve rendering
instead of making its own. required adding a bevelSplitFlag
field to DispList. I also fixed the bevel face splitting
which did not work correctly in many situations.
- changed so all curve data creation happens in makeDispListCurveTypes,
includes making bevel list and filling polys
- changed render code to use displist for surface rendering
- removed Curve.orco variable, built as needed now
- removed stupid BLI_setScanFill* functions... why use a function
argument when you can use a global and two functions! Why indeed.
(this fixed crash when reloading a file with filled curves and
toggling editmode)
- bug fix, setting curve width!=1 disabled simple bevel for no
apparent reason
- cleaned up lots and lots of curve/displist code (fun example:
"if(dl->type==DL_INDEX3 || dl->type==DL_INDEX3)"). Hmmm!
- switched almost all lattice calls to go through lattice_deform_verts,
only exception left is particles
- added DBG_show_shared_render_faces function in render, just
helps to visualize which verts are shared while testing (no
user interface).
- renamed some curve bevel buttons and rewrote tooltips to be
more obvious
- made CU_FAST work without dupfontbase hack
Also by the way I wrote down some notes on how curve code
works, nothing spiffy but it is at:
http://wiki.blender.org/bin/view.pl/Blenderdev/CurveNotes
worked properly with modifiers. Needs more testing I am sure.
No, honestly, I wasn't just cleaning for the hell of it, it
was *necessary* (I would never do such a thing). Selection should
work completely with cage options of modifiers now.
- added DerivedMesh foreach functions to iterate over mapped
verts/edges/face centers. These replaced some of the drawing
functions and are more general anyway. Special edge drawing
functions remain for performance reasons.
- removed EditFace xs, ys fields
- added general functions to iterate over screen coordinates of
mesh/curve/lattice objects
- removed all calc_*verts* functions that were used for storing
screen coordinates in objects. they were recalc'd on the fly
for most situations anyway, so now we just always do that.
calc_*verts_ext was one of those calls that did dirty things
deep down in the callstack (changing curarea and poking at
matrices)
- rewrote all vertex level selection routines (circle, lasso, bbox)
and closest vertex routines (rightmouse select) to use the new
system. This cleaned up the selection code a lot and the structure
of selection is much easier to see now. This is good for future
work on allowing modifiers to completely override the selection
system. It also points out some discrepancies in the way selection
is handled that might be nice to resolve (mesh vertex selection has
fancy stuff to try to help with selecting overlapping, but it only
works w/o bbuf select, and curves/lattices don't have at all).
- had to remove ton's code to move Manipulator to cage location, this
is not reliable (can come up with a different method if requested)
- as it happens BezTriple.s and BPoint.s are basically available to
be removed, just need to rewrite editipo code that still does
background calc of screen coordinates
- MVert.{xs,ys} are still around because they are abused in some places
for other info (not sure if this is safe actually, since they are
short's and the mvert limit went up).
And did I mention this commit is comes out to -305 lines? Well it does.
- switch to using DerivedMesh.drawMappedFaceCentersEM to draw
face dots, still need to do some work so this works in all
selection modes (atm it does not work in no-zbuf mode)
- XCode project
- Scons :
scons stopped working for Os X in the last month (dont know when) :
* the '.' and '..' keywords in CCPPATH
are not recognized anymore for sconscripts compiling files at
a sub level
* when doing a scons clean, the 3 subdirs in build dir are removed
and scons then fail to recreate them (exten, intern, source)
this commit solve the first problem as a temp workaround
for the latter simply recreate the dirs manually
I will investigate that further when on vacations, which i should already
be.
;(
all 3 build systems are now working on Os X
seemed to do the trick for me, however a game engine error has prevented me
from compiling to test. Anyone who has time to test compiling it would be
appreciated.
with MSVS 8)
- broke mesh_create_shadedColors out of shadeDispList, used to
build vertex colors for mesh in vpaint as well (also fixed
bug where they were not initialized correctly for subsurfs)
- added modifier_copyData and modifier_findByType functions
- change editmode modifiers to only calculate if Realtime and
Editmode bits are both set, makes more sense for copying
modifiers
- update object_copy to correctly copy modifiers
- removed duplicate redefinition of ME_ attributes in python,
this is a horrible idea, why was it done in the first place?
- update armature auto vertex group code to check for subsurf
in modifier stack
- fixed flip_subdivision to work with move to modifier stack
- added copymenu_modifiers, can copy all modifiers or just
data from first modifier of a certain type (not sure how
to deal with multiple modifiers of same type... not
a big issue though I think)
He even made a nice doc in wiki:
http://wiki.blender.org/bin/view.pl/Blenderdev/Blendgz
Usage: set the option "Compress File" in the main "File" pulldown menu.
This setting is a user-def, meaning it is not changed on reading files.
If you want it default, save it with CTRL+U.
The longest debate went over the file naming convention. Shaul started
with .blend.gz files, which gave issues in Blender because of the code
hanging out everywhere that detects blender files, and that appends the
.blend extension if needed.
Daniel Dunbar proposed to just save it as .blend, and not bother users
with such details. This is indeed the most elegant solution, with as
only drawback that old Blender executables cannot read it.
This drawback isn't very relevant at the moment, since we're heading
towards a release that isn't upward compatible anyway... the recode
going on on Meshes, Modfiers, Armatures, Poses, Actions, NLA already
have upward compatibility issues.
We might check - during the next month(s) - on a builtin system to
warn users in the future when we change things that make a file risky
to read in an older release.
- PoseMode now is a state Armature Objects can be in. So, while in PoseMode
for an Armature, you can just select another Object or Armature.
- The old PoseMode options (transform, insert keys etc) are accessible
with making the Armature Object 'active' (and have object in PoseMode).
- At this moment no multiple Poses can be transformed/edited at the same
time.
- The old hotkey CTRL+TAB, and view3d header menu, still work to set an
Object's PoseMode
It was quite a lot recode, so tests & reports are welcome.
Oh, as a bonus I added Lasso Select for Bones in PoseMode! It selects using
only the line between root and tip of the Bone.
and this is better left to user (whee this was a fun commit! so
much deleting!)
- removed mesh_calculate_vertex_normals (replaced by mesh_calc_normals)
- added ModifierTypeInfo.freeData function
- added modifier_{new,free] utility function
- added ccgSubSurf_getUseAgeCounts to query info
- removed subsurf modifier faking (ME_SUBSURF flag is no
longer valid). subsurf modifier gets converted on file load
although there is obscure linked mesh situation where this
can go wrong, will fix shortly. this also means that some
places in the code that test/copy subsurf settings are broken
for the time being.
- shuffled modifier calculation to be simpler. note that
all modifiers are currently disabled in editmode (including
subsurf). don't worry, will return shortly.
- bug fix, build modifier didn't randomize meshes with only verts
- cleaned up subsurf_ccg and adapted for future editmode modifier
work
- added editmesh.derived{Cage,Final}, not used yet
- added SubsurfModifierData.{mCache,emCache}, will be used to cache
subsurf instead of caching in derivedmesh itself
- removed old subsurf buttons
- added do_modifiers_buttons to handle modifier events
- removed count_object counting of modifier (subsurfed) objects...
this would be nice to add back at some point but requires care.
probably requires rewrite of counting system.
New feature: Incremental Subsurf in Object Mode
The previous release introduce incremental subsurf calculation during
editmode but it was not turned on during object mode. In general it
does not make sense to have it always enabled during object mode because
it requires caching a fair amount of information about the mesh which
is a waste of memory unless the mesh is often recalculated.
However, for mesh's that have subsurfed armatures for example, or that
have other modifiers so that the mesh is essentially changing on every
frame, it makes a lot of sense to keep the subsurf'd object around and
that is what the new incremental subsurf modifier toggle is for. The
intent is that the user will enable this option for (a) a mesh that is
currently under active editing or (b) a mesh that is heavily updated
in the scene, such as a character.
I will try to write more about this feature for release, because it
has advantages and disadvantages that are not immediately obvious (the
first user reaction will be to turn it on for ever object, which is
probably not correct).
Ton has been pushing me to get this in and finish it up with help, so here is a run down of the commit
Revised Features
Subdivide now is Edge based, allows for multicut
Loopcut was recoded, now has multi option
Knife tool now has multi option
New Features
Edgeslide
Edgering select
Removed Features
Alt-B Edgeloop selection (use alt-RMB in edgemode)
Shift-R Faceloop selection (use alt-RMB in facemode)
Old Subdivide (Except for smooth which is left in until new one works)
Todo
Subdivide Smooth Math is broken - could use some help here (look for alter_co in editmesh_tools.c)
Tweak mouse control of Edgeslide is hackish ATM
Add Non-proportional movement to edgeslide
Add smooth option to new loopcut
I probably left something out.
See here for more info
http://wiki.blender.org/bin/view.pl/Blenderdev/EdgeSubdivision
QuatMulVecf Multiplies vector (3-float) by quaternion (rotation). Assumes it recieves a unit quaternion
QuatConj Quaternion conjugate
QuatInv Quaternion inverse (does not assume a unit quat)
QuatMulf Quaternion multiplication with scalar
QuatDot Quaternion dot product
printquat debug print function
Important notes:
- Full compatibility with old text objects not fully restored
(word spacing will be 0.0, need to set it manually to 1.0), will
either need version upgrade to 238 or a hack. Will check.
- lorem.c (about to be committed) contains BF copyright notice, but as
BF did not exist a few hundred years ago, probably best to remove it :)
- If you notice any cross-platform issues (especially beloved windows),
please report
- A few tiny warnings left, I will fix those issues still.
The rest has been said already - so have fun testing. And please do!
=== Reminder:
=== Documentation at http://blender.instinctive.de/docs/textobject.txt ===
alone with the following flags :
-Wall -Wno-char-subscripts -Wno-missing-braces.
the only one still worrying me is in rand.c line 57 :
rand.c:57: integer constant is too large for "long" type
but i have no clue about how correct cross-compiler and 32/64 bits friendly
see also my mail to commiter list for signed/unsigned issues
1:
* when a blendfile gets loaded, paths are corrected with OS specific slashes (see blender.c)
* made available BLI_char_switch(char *string, char from, char to)
* made available BLI_clean(char *string);. This function should be called whenever you're doing path stuff, so paths are correctly saved, and thus avoiding other path functions stopping to work
2:
* relative paths work now in sequencer too (due to slash mess that didn't work all too well).
still was using int for calculus... made it using 64 bits ints.
- The "disk free" indicator in the header didn't work for OSX, due to
a missing #ifdef __APPLE_
With a few tests I have discovered that when quitting Blender the filelist
in SpaceFile doesn't get free'd.
storage.c:
I have replaced strdup for the relname member in BLI_builddir with BLI_strdup.
and malloc with MEM_mallocN for the string member in BLI_addstrings().
filesel.c:
Of course also had to replace free with MEM_freeN in freefilelist().
In freespacelist (space.c) I added call to freefilelist for the SPACE_FILE
space type.
- removed displistmesh_from_{mesh,editmesh}
- removed EditVert.ssco
- removed unused functions for DispListMesh DerivedMesh
Still need lots more testing for this stuff.
