- this patch adds verse support for SCons, which can be enabled by
giving WITH_BF_VERSE=1, ie. on command-line
- this patch also adds a custom lib dir possibility. From the patch description:
"To set a custom ../lib dir, put LCGDIR="path to lib dir, including the platform folder name!" in your user-config.py."
* Fixed win32-vc-config.py so that it links to the proper library. Reported by Brandano.
New toolsettings variable "select_thresh" was not initialized. This caused
the option "similar normals" to not work really (uses a dot product).
It now is initialized (scene.c) as well as corrected in do_versions for
saved files.
- buffer overflow was possible with providing a file path argument longer
than 256 characters.
- buttons "VCol Light" and "VCol Paint" were not mutual exclusive
- quicktime error menu (unable to create) had a enter in end
- deleting points in CurveMapping button (like Curves node in compositor)
did not give proper recalc event
- edges render menu had a tooltip still mentioning the unified render
- ImagePaint now uses ImBuf directly, and the rect blending functions
were moved into the imbuf module.
- The brush spacing, timing and sampling was abstracted into brush.c, for
later reuse in other paint modes.
Float ImagePaint support.
Textured Brushes:
- Only the first texture channel is used now.
- Options for size and offset should be added, but need to find some space
in the panel, or add a second one ..
- Added a new Brush datablock, only used by image paint, but intended
to be used in texture paint, vertex paint, weight paint and sculpt
mode also.
- Being a datablock, these brushes can be saved, appended and linked.
They have a fake user by default, to make sure they are saved even if
not selected.
Image Painting:
- Replaced the img module with C code in imagepaint.c
- Airbrush is no longer a separate tool, but rather an option that can
be used for soften, smear and clone also.
- Blend modes mix, add, subtract, multiply, darken and lighten have been
added, code taken directly from vertex paint.
Note to project files maintainers:
- The img module was removed from SCons and Makefiles, and this should
be done in other build systems also. I'll wait to remove the module
from cvs, to not break compilation.
- readfile.c, version patch for new toolsettings used a malloc, using
unitialized variables
- despgraph, another malloc changed to calloc
- timer code for render ESC: unitialized variable in struct
- AO "Use Distances" can not use 'sky texture' for colors, that bug was
fixed in UI (prevent settings to combine), but better also gets fixed
on reading files.
- Backbuf render, when not existed, didn't initialize backdrop color to 0.
Group appending issue: the rules for how this works were still confusing.
In some cases you want the objects in the scene itself, in others not.
New method:
- when you append a group directly (shift+f1 -> group -> name(s)) it
will both append the group and link objects to the current scene
- in all other cases it will only append a group itself.
(means, you can then use "Add group" to see it).
naming convention for Compositing:
- Render Result node -> Render Layers node (name only appears in Add menu)
- Compositor image -> Viewer Node image
I've also added a version patch (2.41 saved files only) to rename existing
"Compositor" Images.
The buttons uiBlock was stored in a Node, for retrieval of node buttons,
however that won't work when multiple windows show same Nodes.
Now implemented more correct unique Block names (as all over in UI), and
use that name to retrieve buttons with API call uiGetBlock().
- removed "Unified" button, replaced with "HD" preset for 1920x1080 output
- removed the unused "Pass" options
- removed the unused "Strands" render-layer option
Because the internal render pipe supports this already; added two more
render-layer options:
- "Sky", to enable/disable sky render in a layer (this was part of "Solid"
before, not so correct... to ensure previously saved files work, the
"Sky" option is set by default when "Solid" was set. The version patching
will do this temporally always, until we've bumped up version to 2.42
- "Edge", to enable/disable edge render in a layer. Nice for compositing.
Also in this commit: fixed warnings for exported functions for the new
Node Editor pull-down menus.
NOTE: stucci didn't return 'intensity' since blender 1.0, something that
alsways caused headaches all over (all other textures do per definition).
But, allowing stucci to return 'intensity' would break old files.
To make it work for preview, I had to solve this once. Done with a version
patch, so old files (including current 2.41!) won't read with color channel
active for Stucci textures.
(Preview.blend I saved as a 2.42 file btw!)
Files saved with new cloth modifier patch crash in cvs blender. (#define
for cloth is 13 even!). This was caused by lack of upward compatibility
for non existing modifiers.
Also added giant warning in code for the ENUM for modifier types.
Mixdown option (blending sequence audio strips) didn't write proper WAV.
- file length in header chunk was too short (potential crasher)
- endian switch code used swab(), which wasn't defined to work when src and
target is identical
- cleaned up some code too... like removing timecursor() for core loop.
Next to the "DispWindow" there are now two new choices:
- Display render output to Image Editor
- Display render output to Screen-sized Image Editor
Both options won't open a 2nd window anymore, which makes work quite more
smooth even, especially because 'focus' isn't lost. Further it fits in the
'single window UI' paradigm of Blender. Should have been done 10 years ago!
Lastly it might bypass issues with X11... having 2 windows with opengl
context is not always stable in Linux.
This option uses an identical trick as for the Compositor viewer, using an
Image block with a fixed name ("Render Result").
The flow, when invoking a Render, goes as follows:
- first it checks if there's an Image Editor visible displaying the "Render
Result", if so then it uses that area-window.
(Use this option for dual-monitor setups for example, a render will always
go to the same location then)
- else it checks if there's an Image Editor open in general, it then
assigns that window the "Render Result" Image.
- else: it searches for the largest Area in the screen, and turns that into
a temporal Image Editor showing render output.
After a render, an ESC will push back the former view, if the Area type has
changed.
Same rules apply for the "Full Screen" option. Here an ESC will always go
back to the regular Screen, and restore Area type if required.
While rendering, the queue for the renderwindow isn't handled yet, so you can
not zoom (nor get full redraws), as for the regular render window.
Existing conflicts:
- in FaceSelect mode, the Image editor enforces to display the face texture
after rendering again.
- when using an Image window for compositing, you'll lose the Viewer output
on a render.
Implementation note:
While rendering updates, nothing is drawn in frontbuffer anymore. That's
good news for b0rked OpenGL drivers (and faster). However, for the few
OpenGL cards that don't do a "swap copy" but a "swap exchange" you get
issues... has to be worked on. I'm afraid we have to drop frontbuffer
drawing altogether.
Other fixes:
- Hotkeys NumPad 1, 2, 4, 8 will set zoom levels (was half coded only?)
Use SHIFT to zoom out (smaller).
- Rendering Tile updates still had draw errors on edges of tiles, in OSA
only. (Caused by commit 4 days ago)
The Scene audio.mixrate variable was zero on creating new scenes, causing
synced playback to fail.
Added initialize in kernel, and patch in buttons drawing to set the value
for wrongly saved files.
(Pixelshading: small correction for more optimal code)
This code enables IPO-pinning for Sequence-strips again, by working
around the missing libdata in blenloader/intern/readfile.c.
Bad hack(tm). Maybe we find a way, to make Sequence-strips true libdata?
It also fixes two places in IPO-editing where frame-locking wasn't handled.
Appending a Scene, which had group-objects, accidentally linked these
objects to the active scene too. This was a mixup with the case of just
appending a group.
- code was on wrong location, all version patches should be grouped,
otherwise we completely lose track!
- code didn't use the WOPHY_BULLET define...
- made more clear comment on meaning of version patch
- Made another attempt to migrate from Sumo to Bullet: import of older files automatically switch to Bullet, but you can override it, and save the file in 2.42 version. then it stays Sumo physics.
Patch #4044 patch to change the step when changing frame with up or down arrow keys.
This adds a per Scene setting to specify the number of frames skipped by the up and down arrow.
This setting can be changed in the Timeline header and in the Anim/Playback section of the Scene settings.
Upon loading a file without that setting or creating a new scene, it is set to 10
Also fixed the Start and End frame buttons in the Scene buttons to do a proper refresh.
Stored selections now get saved to mesh library blocks as direct data.
The idea that stored selections are 'erased' when leaving editmode and
switching objects is pretty mysterious for the user. Note that currently
the mselect array in a mesh is not written to file. Not sure whether
to change this or not.
so WIngws' GCC was seeing it as
typedef long long long long... and not compiling.
Added an ifndef around this decleration. safe solution. but probably remove the typedef entirely.
- Cam
- Added part of Austin's msvc8 fixes (vector::erase function
was "misused"), hopefully compiles better now.
- Ctrl-b now also bakes a selected fluidsim domain
similar to the softbodies.
- Added surface smoothing option for domains: default is
1, higher values result in a smoother surface (and probably
slightly higher comupation times), while 0 means the surface
is not modified at all.
- Added BLENDER_ELBEEMBOBJABORT environment variable in readBobj,
if >0 quits blender when a not yet existing fluidsim
frame should be loaded. Useful for rendering simulations
as far as possible from the command line.
- Surface normals pointer is now set to NULL in readfile.c
- Fixed win32 error string handling, now uses a function
to return the string from the solver.
- Fixed fluidsim particle halo scaling problem.
- Solver update
work for Composite nodes using a scene... when you delete such a node the
scene could get zero users then.
Now scenes count users correctly, and are initialized to 1 on the correct
place.
- added a zoom factor for Planar Environment Map, allowing to zoom in or
out on the reflected object. The zoom is corrected when rendering, so it
just gives control over the resolution.
- Planar maps don't cycle anymore, but only render the front plane, using
standard image texture extend mode.
- threaded rendering is back in envmap render
- blur works again (this was a serious bug in gamwarp...)
- seperates all sequence effects into a seperate file with a clean interface
- thereby fixing some obscure segfaults
- seperates the scope views into a seperate file
- adds float support to all effects and scope views
- removes a bad level call to open_plugin_seq
- FFMPEG seeking improved a lot.
- FFMPEG compiles with debian sarge version cleanly
- Makes hdaudio seek and resample code really work
This modifier allows to make arrays of meshes, with multiple offset types:
- constant offset
- offset relative to object width
- offset with scale and rotation based on another object
The number of duplicates can be computed based on a fixed count, fixed length
or length of a curve. Duplicate vertices can be automatically merged.
Nice docs and example files available in the wiki:

The old implementation was added quite hackish (talking about 10 yr ago).
You also had to make a small image slice, which was extended Xparts in
size. That also required to adjust the camera angle. Very clumsy.
Now; when enabling the Panorama option, it will automatically apply the
panorama effect on the vertically aligned tiles. You can just enable or
disable the "Pano" button, to get a subtle lens effect like this:
(without pano)
http://www.blender.org/bf/rt.jpg
(with pano)
http://www.blender.org/bf/rt1.jpg
For Panorama render, the minimum slice size has been hardcoded to be 8
pixels. The XParts button goes up to 512 to allow that. In practice,
rendering 64 slices will already give very good images for a wide angle
lens of 90 degrees, the curvature of straight lines then is equal to
a circle of 256 points.
Rendering a full 360 degree panorama you do by creating an extreme wide
angle camera. The theory says camera-lens 5 should do 360 degrees, but
for some reason my tests reveil it's 5.1... there's a rounding error
somewhere, maybe related to the clipping plane start? Will look at that
later. :)
Also note that for each Xpart slice, the entire database needs to be
rotated around camera to correct for panorama, on huge scenes that might
give some overhead.
Threaded render goes fine for Panorama too, but it can only render the
vertically aligned parts in parallel. For the next panorama slice it has
to wait for all threads of the current slice to be ready.
On reading old files, I convert the settings to match as closely as
possible the new situation.
Since I cannot bump up the version #, the code detects for old panorama
by checking for the image size. If image width is smaller than height, it
assumes it's an old file (only if Panoroma option was set).
