I've gone through and simplified some of the redundant options while documenting the various settings (in the code and also in the Wiki Doc), to make it clearer how to use each option.
'Preset' view-types have yet to be fully implemented, but started groundwork for this. Only some commonly used view configurations will be defined using this method. For all others, they still need to define all relavent view settings themselves (as there's too much variation in terms of the various editor's use of View2D).
IPO Editor now draws with channels on the left, like all other anim editors. Now, how to make this wider...
funtion WM_keymap_add_item() now returns keymap-item, so you can use it
to set default properties for operators with WM_keymap_property_set().
Brecht will fill in this function, requires rna magic!
Example: an operator ED_OB_OT_add_primitive can be configured with
keymap like this:
WM_keymap_property_set(keymapitem, "Primitivetype", "Sphere");
Similar conventions we can use later for button/menu calls.
This will make creating operators easier, allowing a developer to group
tools functionality nicely.
* DNA_sequence_types.h done, patch by Roelf de Kock, with various changes,
mainly the use of inheritance for different sequence types and hiding the
separate Strip struct.
that is not supposed to be in the editor but at blenkernel level
to avoid bad level calls. Added sequencer free and strip iterator
functions there and used them to make sequencer data load/save
work again.
Small fix: in the ghost part of WM event handling, a function was
setting 'active subwindow' and registering headers to be drawn active
for this or not. It should be nicely inside the handler queue, so
it doesnt get executed on modal window-handlers.
(This solves flashing area headers while dragging area edges)
Still needed to resolve how screen handling goes... via handlers
with operators? On my list to keep track of. :)
OSX crashed on double-click the Finder Blender icon
Removed 7 years old hack to get the correct arguments for this case, it
was a terrible hack anyway. Needs proper code.
Fix for crash on joining (previously splitted) areas.
Reason was the stored regions in pushed 'spaces' not being copied.
next: free running handlers on area join/split.
- Added file space (too) :) Andrea was first, this is more
complete.
- Suggestion from Joshua: move all standard header buttons to
1 function, makes it all easier, less code, and less area/space
stuff needs to be exposed.
* Scrollers now keep corners free for drawing widgets if there are horizontal and vertical ones in use. They draw a rect which covers up all of the excess over-flowing drawing that was previously masked by the vertical scrollers.
* Tweaked the behaviour of the scroller zoom-handles again as they still weren't behaving correctly on vertical scrollers. This was partly caused by a typo, but also wrong checks...
Fixed more crashers in screen/region/area/spacetype freeing code...
Hint to Ton: watch how you're getting the pointer to the next item in the list when freeing the list ;)
* Headers were twitching when moved again due to a hack I had made for the TimeLine
* Properly fixed TimeLine init so that grid will start in the right place.
The basics for InfoSpace.
Also added InfoSpace data to area by default, older files allowed to
have nothing here (space empty). (prevents reported crasher in switching
space info to others).
Also: added ifdeffed code in readfile.c to debug missing memory frees
from data read from files. (instead of "data from SCR" it will print
the actual struct names).
Added freeing functions in outliner space, this makes blender quit
without memory free errors in my test .b.blends.
Note: I'll move current rna viewer to new SpaceData editor, then I
can bring back original outliner stuff. Proposed menu name is
"Data Viewer". Probably better not not expose name 'rna' in UI?
* Scrollers now draw using nice rounded+shaded style everywhere
* When scrollers 'bubble' completely fills a scroller or is completely out of view, the view zooming using the handles is now only activated if the mouse is within a quarter of the total length of the scroller on either end of the scroller. Otherwise, pan is activated. This should make the scrollers more usable in anim editors.
* Fixed drawing of gridlines in TimeLine - needed to adjust ymin value of cur and tot rects to accomodate for the new mask/cur adjustments as old TimeLines didn't draw with 'real' scrollbars. Also, adjusted min/max values to fit these new tot/cur rect y-sizes.
* Tidying up vars and fixing errors in declaring new View2D types in preparation for simpler method of initialising views...
* Fixed a typo in the patch that made trilinear interpolation really slow
* Replaced the patch's trilinear interpolation code with the existing trilinear code from pbrt / light cache (first stage of unifying this voxel interpolation code)
* BarycentricWeightsPersp2f was calling BarycentricWeights2f, and re-weighting. Changed so the re-weighting isnt needed.
* replaced tri_depth_2d with VecZDepthOrtho and VecZDepthPersp
* project_paint_occlude_ptv_clip now calls project_paint_occlude_ptv to remove duplicate code.
This commit introduces a new texture ('Voxel Data'), used to load up saved voxel
data sets for rendering, contributed by Raúl 'farsthary' Fernández Hernández
with some additional tweaks. Thanks, Raúl!
The texture works similar to the existing point density texture, currently it
only provides intensity information, which can then be mapped (for example) to
density in a volume material. This is an early version, intended to read the
voxel format saved by Raúl's command line simulators, in future revisions
there's potential for making a more full-featured 'Blender voxel file format',
and also for supporting other formats too.
Note: Due to some subtleties in Raúl's existing released simulators, in order
to load them correctly the voxel data texture, you'll need to raise the
'resolution' value by 2. So if you baked out the simulation at resolution 50,
enter 52 for the resolution in the texture panel. This can possibly be fixed in
the simulator later on.
Right now, the way the texture is mapped is just in the space 0,0,0 <-> 1,1,1
and it can appear rotated 90 degrees incorrectly. This will be tackled, for now,
probably the easiest way to map it is with and empty, using Map Input -> Object.
Smoke test: http://www.vimeo.com/2449270
One more note, trilinear interpolation seems a bit slow at the moment, we'll
look into this.
For curiosity, while testing/debugging this, I made a script that exports a mesh
to voxel data. Here's a test of grogan (www.kajimba.com) converted to voxels,
rendered as a volume: http://www.vimeo.com/2512028
The script is available here: http://mke3.net/projects/bpython/export_object_voxeldata.py
* Another smaller thing, brought back early ray termination (was disabled
previously for debugging) and made it user configurable. It now appears as a new
value in the volume material: 'Depth Cutoff'. For some background info on what
this does, check:
http://farsthary.wordpress.com/2008/12/11/cutting-down-render-times/
* Also some disabled work-in-progess code for light cache
IPO Editor Fixes:
* Grid now draws correct. Fixed typo in gridline calculations preventing drawing from occurring. Also, set the right arguments to the appropriate View2D calls.
* Limited Ton's cur<->mask mapping 'hack' to Outliner only, as it was causing problems with the drawing of the grid. Perhaps there's still some faulty code in curRect_validate that should be changed instead...
* Horizontal scroller draws frames now by default. However, the values are still offset a bit, so will need further investigation.
Outliner Fixes:
* Fixed overlapping text problem with RNA-path and menus. Now RNA path draws as a label beside the menus, so there shouldn't be any more problems there.
* do_versions code now sets all appropriate flags, as old OOPS views could cause errors with scroller drawing + view manipulation operators which depend on flags being set.
Additions/Features...
- Painting onto multiple images at once.
- Clone with an offset similar to the gimp, also an option to clone between UV layers, (not both offset and between layers atm)
- Stencil layer, similar to The Gimp's quickmask.
- Face mask mode - (painting onto only selected faces).
- Texture brushes (so image and texture-node brushes too)
- Seam bleed so you don't see gaps when painting over UV seams (new option set in the panit panel)
- Occlusion (only point onto the first face under the paintbrush, can also be used for masking out parts of the model to paint onto) - (new option set in the paint panel)
- Muti-threaded, each thread operates on its own bucket.
- Support partial updates to speedup OpenGL texture refreshing.
- Support tile based multiple undo's
- Support float image buffers.
- Backface culling (new option set in the paint panel)
- All color blending modes - Add/Multiply.. etc.
- Airbrush rate. (used to be broken)
- Improve the way paint is mixed when painting, so painting with 0.2 alpha will not accumulate above 0.2 alpha on the image as you paint.
- Option to use normals to fade out strokes on the edge of a surface to avoid ugly edges. (same as Vertex Paints "Normal" option)
Known Problems
- Not directly related to painting but changes in selection flags are not updated on the final derived mesh.
- Smear tool has some distortion when in perspective mode.
- While in perspective view any faces with 1 vert behind the viewpoint, will be completely ignored.
- Painting can be initially slow while buckets are being initialized, a number of solutions exist.
- Size 1 brushes don't work yet.
- When painting onto large faces its still possible to get artifacts.
- Spatial optimizations are needed to skip occluded faces and test pixel occlusion. (will look into using blenders BVH )
