Moving filterNDOFvalues and getndof to editscreen.c/BIF_mywindow.h (this might not be the best spot but it matches table/mouse functions)
Adding missing function definition in include files and fix declaration mixup (void functions used as int, short pointer used as float pointer)
New NDofInput model for transform (reusable externally in the future):
Handles ndof events, accumulates values and enables remapping and rescaling values to fit any axis combinaison into a float[3] (this could be extended in the future, also, it doesn't support out of order axis right now).
Compatible with "gears" (Ctrl key)
New transform context for pure NDof input transform (entered when using Transform mode on the device).
In this mode, transform "transactions" are automatically confirmed when the device returns to its rest position
Rotation on Z triggers a rotation (axis is perpendicular to the screen as usual, constraints works as expected)
Rotation on X/Y triggers trackball rotation
Translation on X/Y/Z triggers translation (doesn't support constraints correctly).
The device can also be used during a "normal" transform operation. In this case, there is no auto confirm but button 1 (right) can be used to confirm while button 2 is used to clear the NDof input (back to mouse input).
NDof support was added to translation, rotation and trackball (as previously mentionned) but also to Tilt (same as rotation) and Push/Pull (move device along Z axis).
This is a bit preliminary work, so everyone should feel free to comment and send suggestions.
NOTE: this commit also merges revision 11523 from the trunk
you can now translate or rotate a selected object
in the third method. either in object or edit mode.
Note : the method is not ideal, as we create a full
transform loop for each component of the transform.
However it is this way handled in same way as other
means of input
turntable code should work reasonabilly well now.
fly code need works but is no more insane on Os X.
transform object is not present here.
if you find the movements a bit slow, you can speed
it in the preferences up to 2x in the view & controls
panel.
button1 (left) of the device let you switch between
the 3 modes. button2 let you switch between
unconstrained and dominant mode.
the plugin must be named 3DxNdofBlender.plug
and be placed in a folder named plugins in same
folder as executable
check no scaling is done in the plugin
please check it works ok on 3 platforms
as this is not working code for me,
and i've not investigated yet why,
i protected it with a define in view.c
line 566 USE_NEW_NDOFMOVE
comment this line to use old code
As previously the plugin itself is available
on his site :
http://cubelogic.org/blender/3dcnxplug-lin.c
or on mine (soon) :
http://jlp.nerim.net/dev/6dof/
Please let me know if any problem, i cannot
test.
We have now patches for our 3 main platforms
features are still minimal, but will follow
soon.
for NDOF devices
I applied the patch but cant test so please
let me know if any problem.
the plugin itself can be found either
on Ettore site http://cubelogic/blender/
or on my site http://jlp.nerim.net/dev/6dof/
on my site there is also the source of
mac plugin
work only in non camera mode in 3D view
need the external plug-in to be compiled separately
line 894 of ghostwinlay.c must be replaced with
values adapted at your system
see mailing list for features planned and how
to use
Modified behaviour of IKEY in Action Editor a bit, so that the keyframes added have been updated to reflect the current state of an object/bone. Previously, it only used the current values of the ipo-curves they were being keyframed (maintained as fallback method now).
When adding a new Action Strip to an Object which didn't have any Action Strips previously, NLA-override mode is turned on by default for that object (the Action/NLA-icon beside the expand/collapse triangle).
This broke theeths UV-Exportscript.
updated and added 2 missing decref's, as well as a check not to write a list of faces greater then the size of the NMesh (mesh and NMesh face lengths can differ)
* Moved the multires vertex data from struct MultiresLevel to struct Multires. There's no longer any reason to store data seperately for each level; it was just taking up extra memory.
* Incremented the subversion to 2 and adjusted do_versions to correctly load older files.
* Refactored the multires update process (which handles propagating changes to other levels)
Manipulator drawing, enabled or disabled, with the exception of the
combo manipulator, was leaking a GLU quadric on every redraw.
I don't think this caused trouble in practical situations though, it
leaked about 1 MB when running Alt+A for 20 minutes here.
Small Action Editor feature to hopefully make keyframing quicker. Just press the IKEY in the Action Editor. Feedback on the (annoyance factor of the) popups welcome.
* Finally cleaned up the NSIS installer creation process
This is now a proper action and command, with simple printout
The 'nsis' target (only on Windows) now properly depends on
all the build process, and will be done as very last.
* Make LZMA (Solid) default compressor for installer (= the best)
FINALLY! With this commit command-length problems are History. Thanks go to xuru from #scons for giving the nice pointer.
src is now again one lib, and further libsplitting should be rather unnecessary, unless we somehow reach the 37K limit (for internally used CreateProcess, by subprocess module)
* Geometry node: Front/back output
This is used as a mask for determining whether you're looking at the front side or back side of a mesh, useful for blending materials, my practical need was giving different materials to the pages of a magazine: http://mke3.net/blender/etc/frontback-h264.mov
Give 1.0 if it's the front side, and 0.0 if it's the back side.
* Extended material node
This is the same as the material node, but gives more available inputs and outputs, (basically just connecting up more of ShadeInput and ShadeResult to the node). I didn't want to add it to the normal simple Material node since you don't always need all that stuff, and it would make the node huge, but when you do need it, it's nice to have it.
== Comp nodes ==
* Invert node
Inverting is something that happens all the time in a node setup, and this makes it easier. It's been possible to invert previously by adding a mix node and subtracting the input from 1.0, but it's not the best way of doing it. This node:
- makes it a lot faster to set up, rather than all the clicking required with the mix node
- is a lot more usable amidst a complex comp setup, when you're looking at a node tree, it's very helpful to be able to see at a glance what's going on. Using subtract for inverting is easily mixed up with other nodes in which you are actually subtracting, not inverting, and looks very similar to all the other mix nodes that usually litter a comp tree.
- has options to invert the RGB channels, the Alpha channel, or both. This saves adding lots of extra nodes (separate RGBA, subtract, set alpha) when you want to do something simple like invert an alpha channel. I'd like to add this option to other nodes too.
There's also a shader node version too.
* Also a few fixes that I committed ages ago, but seems to have been overwritten in Bob's node refactor:
- adding new compbufs to the set alpha and alphaover nodes when you have only one noodle connected to the lower input
- making the fac value on RGB curves still work when there's nothing connected to it
Also removed the use of list.index() all over the place where the index was known. (saves searching the file and the possibility of duplicates messing it up)
The hotkey Ctrl-G in EditMode for Meshes and Lattices, brings up a menu giving the user options to assign/remove selected vertices to a new/the active Vertex Group.
The hotkey Ctrl-Shift-G in EditMode for Meshes and Lattices, brings up a menu giving the user options to change the active Vertex Group and delete the current Vertex Group.
This fix is windows specific. AVIs are now evaluated by the pre-FFMPEG code first, failing that only by FFMPEG. Adding the 200 frame testfile from the bugreport http://projects.blender.org/tracker/?func=detail&aid=6707&group_id=9&atid=125 now goes fine with Add>Movie. Add>Movie+Audio will complain about the fail first, but it will be added anyway.
