Coded a new modifier, "Precision UV Interpolation",
that triangulates, subdivides, then uses brecht's mean
value interpolation to interpolate face data.
Textures on ngon faces get interpolated a bit nicer, in
other words (though concave cases, e.g. 'N', don't work very well).
Bevel! Implemented bevel (from scratch). Man is
this tool way cooler then I thought it was. Note that
uv/vcol interpolation is working (loop level data) but
vert/edge data (like vgroups) likely still needs
work.
Fixed view selected code. Made MDisps->disps use the
special allocation library I wrote as a
temporary fix to MDeformGroup->dw problems.
Why was the vgroup solution reused? It's really slow,
and its hard to tie in something like mempool or memarena.
The hackish allocator I wrote really needs to go, eventually,
or be folded into guardedalloc.
Also fixed a customdata bug with modifiers.
Mirror modifier no longer uses bmesh, but is now
100% CDDM. This is faster; the sluggishness was
driving me crazy. Still need to deal with UVs,
but that shouldn't be hard.
* This is basically a total rewrite of the edge split algorithm. The old one didn't handle tris at all and quads were cut wrong in some cases too with the addition of not handling uv coordinates at all.
* This new algorithm uses a flag system to categorize different splits and the identical but rotated cases in a similar way to how marching cubes indexes different cases.
* It cuts quads and tris and creates proper uv's for the new faces too.
* I also renamed the option to "edge cut" to differentiate if from the edge split modifier and added an option to override a uv-channel in the exploded mesh with particle age as x-coordinate so that the shrapnel can be faded out nicely etc.
Fixed join meshes, and an annoying modifier bug (making modifiers
not work in editmode). Also fixed a tesselation bug.
Also got edge slide to work right, yay! Dunno why I couldn't get
it working right before; took me twenty minutes to fix.
- WITH_OPENJPEG wasn't defined for creator.c with CMake.
- remove shadowed/redefined vars.
- remove some unused RNA report args.
- re-arrange IMB_FILE_TYPES so IRIS is not the first format tested, since its not very common test JPEG and PNG first.
most local modifier,GPU,ImBuf and Interface functions are now static.
also fixed an error were the fluid modifier definition and the header didnt have the same number of args.
- use NULL rather then 0 where possible (makes code & function calls more readable IMHO).
- set static variables and functions (exposed some unused vars/funcs).
- use func(void) rather then func() for definitions.
- modifier code was using sizeof() without knowing the sizeof the array when clearing the modifier type array.
- use BLI_snprintf rather then sprintf where the size of the string is known.
- particle drawing code kept a reference to stack float values (not a problem at the moment but would crash if accessed later).
Used a crazyspace approach (like in edit mode), but only modifiers with
deformMatricies are allowed atm (currently shapekeys and armature modifiers only).
All the rest modifiers had an warning message that they aren't applied because
of sculpt mode. Deformation of multires is also unsupported.
With all this restictions users will always see the actual "layer" (or maybe
mesh state would be more correct word) they are sculpting on.
Internal changes:
- All modifiers could have deformMatricies callback (the same as deformMatriciesEM but
for non-edit mode usage)
- Added function to build crazyspace for sculpting (sculpt_get_deform_matrices), but it
could be generalized for usage in other painting modes (particle edit mode, i.e)
Todo:
- Implement crazyspace correction to support all kinds of deformation modifiers
- Maybe deformation of multires isn't so difficult?
- And maybe we could avoid extra bad-level-stub for ED_sculpt_modifiers_changed
without code duplicating?
* In some rare cases gzread has problems with the fluid files. This could be minor file corruption or some strange thread issue, but checking the amount of read bytes always after read seems to give a graceful way out.
also minor functional changes
- OBJECT_OT_make_links_data() type property is now assigned to the operator property (so popup menu can find it)
- removing BG image now returns cancelled if no image is removed.
Compositor: Texture node didn't use texture-nodes itself.
Now composites initialize texture nodes correctly.
Also reviewed the fix for crashing texture nodes for displace.
It appears texture nodes also are used for sculpt/paint
brushes, in these cases it can be allowed again. But, don't
do this during rendering for now!
loop and increasing memory usage.
Modifiers should never call mesh_get_derived_final or similar, only
use ob->derivedFinal if it exists, if the dependencies are set correct
and there are no cycles, it will be there.
* Depsgraph wasn't updated properly for smoke flow collision object dependencies.
* Smoke also wasn't properly using the actual emission frame of the flow particles.
* There was a lot of bloated logic in some parts of particle code so this fix turned into a small scale cleanup operation.
** As a result particle updating and cache usage should be a bit more stable too.
