This is BAD code, but the particle kinking does not make it easy to
write a non-local modifier that requires neighboring positions,
curvature, etc. The feature is needed for Gooseberry.
This adds another level of clumping on child hairs. When enabled, child
hairs chose a secondary clumping target using a Voronoi pattern. This
adds visual detail on a smaller scale, which is useful particularly when
the number of parents is relatively small.
Natural fibres behave in a similar way when they become sticky and
intertwined. Hairs close to each other form a first twisted strand, then
combine into larger strands. Similar features can be found in ropes:

This is an alternative method to the current fixed function with a
clump factor and "shape" parameter. This function is quite limited and
does not give the desired result in many cases (e.g. long, parallel
rasta strands are problematic). So rather than trying to add more
parameters there is now a fully user-defined optional curve for setting
the tapering shape.
This helps to create some variation in a hair system, which can
otherwise become very uniform and boring. It's yet another confusing
setting in a system that should have been nodified, but only option for
now (broken windows ...)

This allows setting a target density which the fluid simulation will
take into account as an additional term in the pressure Poisson
equation. Based on two papers
"Detail Preserving Continuum Simulation of Straight Hair" (McAdams et al. 2009)
and
"Two-way Coupled SPH and Particle Level Set Fluid Simulation" (Losasso et al. 2008)
Currently the target pressure is specified directly, but it will be
a lot more convenient to define this in terms of a geometric value such
as "number of hairs per area" (combined with hair "thickness").

This is a bit more awkward for artists to use, but necessary for
a stable solution of the hair continuum calculation. The grid size is
defined by the user, the extent of the grid is then calculated based on
the hair geometry. A hard upper limit prevents bad memory allocation
in case too small values are entered.

This is an artifact of earlier attempts to implement velocity smoothing,
but doesn't work anyway.

shape instead of a brush tool.
The brush cutting tool for hair, while useful, is not very accurate and
often requires rotating the model constantly to get the right trimming
on every side. This makes adjustments to a hair shape a very tedious
process.
On the other hand, making proxy meshes for hair shapes is a common
workflow. The new operator allows using such rough meshes as boundaries
for hair. All hairs that are outside the shape mesh are removed, while
those cutting it at some length are shortened accordingly.
The operator can be accessed in the particle edit mode toolbar via the
"Shape Cut" button. The "Shape Object" must be set first and stays
selected as a tool setting for repeatedly applying the shape.
Without this the particle system only shows the actual non-simulated
hairs ("guide hairs") during edit mode. These hairs are used for goals
as well, so showing them in the regular viewport is pretty important.
Also the usual hair curves are interpolated along the entire length,
which makes it very difficult to see exact vertex positions, unless
using exact powers of 2 for the segment number and match the display
steps.

This returns a general status (success/no-convergence/other) along with
basic statistics (min/max/average) for the error value and the number
of iterations. It allows some general estimation of the simulation
quality and detection of critical settings that could become a problem.
Better visualization and extended feedback can follow later.
This is part of the original method from "Volumetric Methods for
Simulation and Rendering of Hair". The current filter is a simple box
filter. Other energy-preserving filters such as gaussian filtering
can be implemented later.
The filter size is currently given as a cell count. This is not ideal,
rather it should use a geometrical length value, but this is too
abstract for proper artistical use. Eventually defining the whole grid
in terms of spatial size might work better (possibly using an external
object).
This will allow us to implement moving reference frames for hair and
make "fictitious" forces optional, aiding in creating stable and
controllable hair systems.
Adding data in this place is a nasty hack, but it's too difficult to
encode as a DM data layer and the whole cloth modifier/DM intermediate
data copying for hair should be removed anyway.
This implements a penalty force as well as a repulsion force to avoid
further penetration, as suggested in
"Simulating Complex Hair with Robust Collision Handling"
(http://graphics.snu.ac.kr/publications/2005-choe-HairSim/Choe_2005_SCA.pdf)
Friction forces are still missing. More problematic is handling of
moving colliders, when face swap places with the hair vertex and a
collision is missed, putting the vertex inside the mesh volume. Larger
margins might help, but ultimately using Bullet collision detection is
probably more reliable and failsafe.
as forces, velocities, contact points etc.
This uses a hash table to store debug elements (dots, lines, vectors at
this point). The hash table allows continuous display of elements that
are generated only in certain time steps, e.g. contact points, while
avoiding massive memory allocation. In any case, this system is really
a development feature, but very helpful in finding issues with the
internal solver data.
on itself.
This uses the same voxel structure as the hair smoothing algorithm.
A slightly different method was suggested in the original paper
(Volumetric Methods for Simulation and Rendering of Hair), but this is
based on directing hair based on a target density, which is another
way of implementing global goals. Our own approach is to define a
pressure threshold above which the hair is repelled in the density
gradient direction to simulate internal pressure from collisions.
This was sort of a chicken<->egg dilemma, because after a maximized screen was restored, the screen handling used region
coordinates which weren't updated yet. I'm still not sure why, but this resulted in area coords that go beond INT_MAX.
To fix this I made sure the first screen handling after restoring a maximized screen is skipped, so that it's delayed to
the next call of wm_event_do_handlers (since this is called from main loop there shouldn't be a noticable delay or any
handling glitches).
This commit adds a new type of volume preservation mode to Spline IK
which makes it possible to set limits on the minimum and maximum
scaling of bone "fatness".
* The old volume preseving mode has been kept but renamed, to avoid
breaking old rigs. "Volume Presevation" uses the new method, while
"Inverse Preservation" is the old one.
* The code and settings for this new xz scale mode are directly lifted
from the improved Stretch To constraint
There was a hard-coded check to exit the fileselector when restoring a view.
Now, when space types differ, flag areas as temporary and switch back to the previous type only in this case.
This means you can select a file while having a file-selector space type open, and not loose it every time.
Not much to add, modifier uses same code as operator basically, only key difference
is that modifier will never create data layers itself, you have to use dedicated operator
for that.
This commit includes a few things:
* It moves the Rake and Random flags from the brush to the MTex.
* The first change allows mask textures to have independent rake
support.
* Random rotation now has an angle value that controls the width of the
effect from the rake or default angle
* Rake and Random are now supported together.
* Rename "emboss" to "widget_emboss"
* Remove duplicated UI_GetThemeColor4ubv function
I made sure version bump and Save User Settings are working correctly ;P
