so there will be more files following.
Anyway: NEW BOOLEANS from Google Summer of Code (Courtesy of Marc Freixas)
Known problems:
- Random freezes while using them as a modifier. This may not be directly
related to modifiers though - it's maybe just the huge number of
operations that leads to a higher probability of triggering a bug
- Static booleans (the first 3 entries in the WKEY menu) are borked
anyway, this is not due to this commit.
- Errors when exiting Blender (dupli_alloc stuff), is not related to this
commit, either.
Please test if everything works, and check the other build systems, I only
know that make works.
Also, compare the results of, say, cube-cylinder, in old and new booleans
:)
morning)
- fun for the whole family, boolean mesh modifier... doesn't work
with layered modifiers yet (just uses base mesh), although may
god have mercy on your soul if you want to run boolean on a
subsurf anyway
- added displistmesh_add_edges
This exposes a bug in boolean, apparently the output is somehow
random (hash on alloc'd pointer value perhaps) which is sortof
lame.
It also makes more apparent the desire for some level of control
over dep graph evaluation during editmode (at the moment dep
graph is reevaluated for a mesh object in editmode, but since
mesh changes are on editmesh other objects don't really see
any change, so it is a wasted recalc).
to get rid of faces with MFace.v3==0
- change all Mesh's to have ->medge now. This is forced by make_edges
on readfile, and in the various exotic important routines, and on
conversion back in python.
- make python NMesh structure always have medges now (needs testing)
- with above two changes it is guarenteed that mf->v3 is never ==0
in main blender code (i.e., all MFace's are actually triangles
or quads) and so I went through and removed all the historic tests
to deal with MFace.v3==0. Equals lots of deleting, I am in heaven!
- removed MEdge edcode flag, no longer needed
- added experimental replacement for edge flag system
Still are some inconsistencies in FACESELECT mode edge drawing to
be ironed out.
NOTE: This commit adds an experimental edge flag calc system, based
on 10-seconds-of-thought algorithm by yours truly. Would appreciate
feedback on how this system works, esp compared to old one and esp
on complex or interesting models.
To Use: New system is enabled by setting G.rt to a value between
1 and 1000 (Value of 0 uses old system). Value 1000 is reserved for
"auto" edge, which is more or less identical to old system but also
makes sure that at least 10% of edges are drawn (solves errors for
super subdivided meshes). Values between 1 and 999 act as percent
(out of 1000) of edges that should be drawn, starting with "most
interesting" edges first. Please try it and comment!
mapping (instead of Edit{Vert,Edge,Face} pointers)
- dropped convertToDispListMeshMapped (whew, glad of it too)
- added DerivedMesh drawMappedFaces function
- dropped EM suffix for DerivedMesh functions, it was neither
particularly correct nor descriptive
- converted test_index_mface to test_index_face that also corrects
MCol and TFace. Good thing we had three versions of this routine,
you never know when one might burn down.
- removed flipnorm_mesh, not used anymore (and was incorrect to
boot)
- Getting face select to work with modifiers turned out to be much
more complicated than expected. Reworked mapping architecture for
modifiers - basically elements in a DispListMesh are now required
to be stored in an order that corresponds exactly to original
ordering. MVert/MEdge/MFace all have a new flag ME_XXX_STEPINDEX
that is set on each element that is set on the first derived element
of each original element. I can't say the code to follow these
requirements for subsurf is particularly transparent, but on the
upside it is a reasonably consistent and simple system that is memory
efficient and allows keeping the DispListMesh structure.
- rewrote mirror modifier to be simpler/conform to new requirements
for mapped DispListMesh structure. This also means that mirror interacts
much better with incremental subsurf calculation (it used to recalc
one entire side on any topology change, now it generally avoids that).
- added EM_{init,free}_index_arrays and EM_get_{vert,edge,face}_for_index
functions to handle mapping indices back into appropriate EditMesh
structures.
- bug fix, make edges didn't recalc object data
- bug fix, initial image assignment to TFace's didn't recalc object data
- new feature, added circle select support for FACESELECT
- bug fix, creating new faces in editmode duplicated the TFACE active
flag - but there should only be one active tface
- bug fix, possible crash when deleting all faces in faceselect mode
on mesh with tfaces...
Still todo: TFace edge drawing is still not always correct in face
mode, in particular with a mirror modifier when mesh has edges (and
no preceeding subsurf). Have not yet decided how to deal with this.
Best solution is probably to do switch to meshes all having MEdge's,
in which case I can get rid of TFace edge flags (and need to recalc
modifiers on tface selection change).
way. Requested for low-poly modeling.
- fix: on exit editmode, the code always created a mesh->dvert block...
silly, this made other code confused which decided whether to use
dverts (vertex groups) or not.
- removed obsolete call from armature.c. Also fixed name of function there,
preparation work for nicer support in Blender for "deform envelopes"
and this is better left to user (whee this was a fun commit! so
much deleting!)
- removed mesh_calculate_vertex_normals (replaced by mesh_calc_normals)
which calculates texspace on demand if need be.
- removed almost all calls to tex_space_mesh
There may be a few corner cases where this goes wrong (meshes with vertex
keys) but these should get ironed out by coming modifier system.
logical parts, and include files altered to denote internal and external
functions.
include/editmesh.h: internal calls for editmesh_xxx.c files
include/BIF_editmesh.h: external calls for these files
src/editmesh.c: basic alloc/lists and in/out editmode, undo, separate
src/editmesh_lib.c: basic utility calls for all editmesh_xxx.c (no UI)
src/editmesh_add.c: add prim, add duplicate, add vertex/edge/face (UI)
src/editmesh_mods.c: selecting, transforming (UI)
src/editmesh_loop.c: loop tools like knife, loop select, loop subdiv (UI)
src/editmesh_tools.c: other tools (extrude, spin, etc) (UI)
And a new file:
src/meshtools.c: tools for Mesh outside of editmode (normals, draw flags)
(MVert,MFace,etc) off into DNA_meshdata_types.h, to isolate areas
of source that actually edit mesh *data* vs. areas that just edit
mesh object information.
* Created a MESH_MAX_VERTS macro in DNA_mesh_types.h
* fixed vert limit for converting displistmesh ==> mesh
* fixed vert limit when doing boolean operations
