Result of 2 weeks of quiet coding work in Greece :) Aim was to get a total refresh of the animation system. This is needed because; - we need to upgrade it with 21st century features - current code is spaghetti/hack combo, and hides good design - it should become lag-free with using dependency graphs A full log, with complete code API/structure/design explanation will follow, that's a load of work... so here below the list with hot changes; - The entire object update system (matrices, geometry) is now centralized. Calls to where_is_object and makeDispList are forbidden, instead we tag objects 'changed' and let the depgraph code sort it out - Removed all old "Ika" code - Depgraph is aware of all relationships, including meta balls, constraints, bevelcurve, and so on. - Made depgraph aware of relation types and layers, to do smart flushing of 'changed' events. Nothing gets calculated too often! - Transform uses depgraph to detect changes - On frame-advance, depgraph flushes animated changes Armatures; Almost all armature related code has been fully built from scratch. It now reveils the original design much better, with a very clean implementation, lag free without even calculating each Bone more than once. Result is quite a speedup yes! Important to note is; 1) Armature is data containing the 'rest position' 2) Pose is the changes of rest position, and always on object level. That way more Objects can use same Pose. Also constraints are in Pose 3) Actions only contain the Ipos to change values in Poses. - Bones draw unrotated now - Drawing bones speedup enormously (10-20 times) - Bone selecting in EditMode, selection state is saved for PoseMode, and vice-versa - Undo in editmode - Bone renaming does vertexgroups, constraints, posechannels, actions, for all users of Armature in entire file - Added Bone renaming in NKey panel - Nkey PoseMode shows eulers now - EditMode and PoseMode now have 'active' bone too (last clicked) - Parenting in EditMode' CTRL+P, ALT+P, with nice options! - Pose is added in Outliner now, with showing that constraints are in the Pose, not Armature - Disconnected IK solving from constraints. It's a separate phase now, on top of the full Pose calculations - Pose itself has a dependency graph too, so evaluation order is lag free. TODO NOW; - Rotating in Posemode has incorrect inverse transform (Martin will fix) - Python Bone/Armature/Pose API disabled... needs full recode too (wait for my doc!) - Game engine will need upgrade too - Depgraph code needs revision, cleanup, can be much faster! (But, compliments for Jean-Luc, it works like a charm!) - IK changed, it now doesnt use previous position to advance to next position anymore. That system looks nice (no flips) but is not well suited for NLA and background render. TODO LATER; We now can do loadsa new nifty features as well; like: - Kill PoseMode (can be option for armatures itself) - Make B-Bones (Bezier, Bspline, like for spines) - Move all silly button level edit to 3d window (like CTRL+I = add IK) - Much better & informative drawing - Fix action/nla editors - Put all ipos in Actions (object, mesh key, lamp color) - Add hooks - Null bones - Much more advanced constraints... Bugfixes; - OGL render (view3d header) had wrong first frame on anim render - Ipo 'recording' mode had wrong playback speed - Vertex-key mode now sticks to show 'active key', until frame change -Ton-

Two wonderful new NLA & Armature editing features! - FORWARD CYCLING & MATCHING Up to no now, adding multiple actions in NLA with walkcycles required to animate them standing still, as if walking on a conveyor belt. The stride option then makes the object itself move forward, trying to keep the foot stuck on the floor (with poor results!). This option now allows to make walk cycles moving forward. By indicating a reference Offset Bone, the NLA system will use that bone to detect the correct offset for the Armature Pose to make it seamlessly going forward. Best of all, this option works as for cyclic Action Strips as well as for individual Action Strips. Note that for individual strips, you have to set the strip on "Hold". (Might become automatic detected later). Here's an example edit image for NLA: http://www.blender.org/bf/nla_match-cycle.jpg And the animation for it: http://download.blender.org/demo/test/2.43/0001_0150_match.avi Blender file: http://download.blender.org/demo/test/2.43/mancandy_matching.blend Using this kind of cycling works pretty straightforward, and is a lot easier to setup than Stride Bones. To be further tested: - Blending cycles - matching rotation for the bones as well. - ACTION MODIFIERS (motion deformors) The above option was actually required for this feature. Typically walk cycles are constructed with certain Bones to be the handles, controlling for example the torso or feet. An Action Modifier allows you to use a Curve Path to deform the motion of these controlling bones. This uses the existing Curve Deformation option. Modifiers can be added per Action Strip, each controlling a channel (bone) by choice, and even allows to layer multiple modifiers on top of each other (several paths deforming motion). This option is using the dependency graph, so editing the Curve will give realtime changes in the Armature. The previous walkcycle, controlled by two curves: http://download.blender.org/demo/test/2.43/0001_0150_deform.avi Blender file: http://download.blender.org/demo/test/2.43/mancandy_actiondeform.blend Action Modifiers can be added in the NLA Properties Panel. Per Modifier you have to indicate the channel and a Curve Object. You can copy modifiers from one strip to another using CTRL+C (only copies to active Object strips). Setting up a correct Curve Path has to be carefully done: - Use SHIFT+A "Curve Path" in top view, or ensure the path is not rotated. - make sure the center point of the Curve Object is at the center of the Armature (or above) - move the first point of the curve to the center point as well. - check if the path starts from this first point, you can change it using (in Curve EditMode) the option Wkey -> "Switch Direction" - Make sure alignment uses the correct axis; if the Armature walks into the negative Y direction, you have to set in Object Buttons, "Anim settings" Panel, the correct Track option. (Note; option will probably move to the Modifier later). This is a good reason to make such paths automatic (on a command). Is on the todo list. Also note this: - the Curve Path extends in beginning and ending, that's (for now) the default, and allows to use multiple paths. Make sure paths begin and end horizontal. - Moving the Curve in Object Mode will change the "mapping" (as if the landscape a character walks over moves). Moving the Curve in Edit Mode will change the actual position of the deformation. - Speed (Ipos) on paths is not supported yet, will be done. - The Curve "Stretch" deform option doesn't work. - Modifiers are executed *after* all actions in NLA are evaluated, there's no support yet for blending multiple strips with Modifiers. - This doesn't work yet for time-mapping... This commit is mostly for review by character animators... some details or working methods might change. This feature can also be used for other modifiers, such as noise (Perlin) or the mythical "Oomph" (frequency control) and of course Python. Special thanks to Bassam & Matt for research & design help. Have fun!

- Pose is the local (object level) component of armature. The current
object pose is saved in files, and (will be) is presorted for dependency
- Actions have fewer (or other) channels, and write data to a Pose
- Currently ob->pose data is controlled in where_is_pose only. The (recalc)
event system takes care of calling that
- The NLA system (here too) uses Poses as interpolation format for Actions
- Therefore we assume poses to be static, and duplicates of poses have channels in
same order, for quick interpolation reasons

== Action Editor - Groups for Action Channels (Peach Request) == Now, you can assign Action Channels to named (folder-like) groups, which help to organise the channels (important for more complex rigs). These are collapsible, can be "protected", and show a "summary" of the keyframes in the channels the Group contains. They are drawn as bright-green (active) or a darker shade of green (not active) channels. * Each Action has its own set of Groups. * An Action-Channel can only occur in one Group at a time. It can also not occur in any group. * Action-Channels can be moved between Groups * Groups + grouped-channels always occur BEFORE un-grouped channels Important Hotkeys: * Shift-G : Adds the selected Action-Channels to the Active Group. This will create a new group if need be * Ctrl-Shift-G : Always adds a new group, and adds the selected Action-Channels to it * Alt-G : Removes selected Action-Channels from their groups * Ctrl-Shift-Alt-G : (Note: this will be removed soon) This is a simple debugging-hotkey I added, which just prints a list of the groups, channels, and their addresses... * NKey / Ctrl-LMB: While hovering over the name of a group, this shows a popup like for other channels, which allows the editing of the channel's name, etc. Assorted Notes: * Some tools may not work yet with this (Ctrl Numpad+/- for example) * Fixed some bugs in various places in Action Editor code * Added theme colours for group channels * The nomenclature of these tools may change in future when a better alternative is found * The ability to auto-assign action-channels to groups when they are keyframed will be coming up shortly

Result of 2 weeks of quiet coding work in Greece :) Aim was to get a total refresh of the animation system. This is needed because; - we need to upgrade it with 21st century features - current code is spaghetti/hack combo, and hides good design - it should become lag-free with using dependency graphs A full log, with complete code API/structure/design explanation will follow, that's a load of work... so here below the list with hot changes; - The entire object update system (matrices, geometry) is now centralized. Calls to where_is_object and makeDispList are forbidden, instead we tag objects 'changed' and let the depgraph code sort it out - Removed all old "Ika" code - Depgraph is aware of all relationships, including meta balls, constraints, bevelcurve, and so on. - Made depgraph aware of relation types and layers, to do smart flushing of 'changed' events. Nothing gets calculated too often! - Transform uses depgraph to detect changes - On frame-advance, depgraph flushes animated changes Armatures; Almost all armature related code has been fully built from scratch. It now reveils the original design much better, with a very clean implementation, lag free without even calculating each Bone more than once. Result is quite a speedup yes! Important to note is; 1) Armature is data containing the 'rest position' 2) Pose is the changes of rest position, and always on object level. That way more Objects can use same Pose. Also constraints are in Pose 3) Actions only contain the Ipos to change values in Poses. - Bones draw unrotated now - Drawing bones speedup enormously (10-20 times) - Bone selecting in EditMode, selection state is saved for PoseMode, and vice-versa - Undo in editmode - Bone renaming does vertexgroups, constraints, posechannels, actions, for all users of Armature in entire file - Added Bone renaming in NKey panel - Nkey PoseMode shows eulers now - EditMode and PoseMode now have 'active' bone too (last clicked) - Parenting in EditMode' CTRL+P, ALT+P, with nice options! - Pose is added in Outliner now, with showing that constraints are in the Pose, not Armature - Disconnected IK solving from constraints. It's a separate phase now, on top of the full Pose calculations - Pose itself has a dependency graph too, so evaluation order is lag free. TODO NOW; - Rotating in Posemode has incorrect inverse transform (Martin will fix) - Python Bone/Armature/Pose API disabled... needs full recode too (wait for my doc!) - Game engine will need upgrade too - Depgraph code needs revision, cleanup, can be much faster! (But, compliments for Jean-Luc, it works like a charm!) - IK changed, it now doesnt use previous position to advance to next position anymore. That system looks nice (no flips) but is not well suited for NLA and background render. TODO LATER; We now can do loadsa new nifty features as well; like: - Kill PoseMode (can be option for armatures itself) - Make B-Bones (Bezier, Bspline, like for spines) - Move all silly button level edit to 3d window (like CTRL+I = add IK) - Much better & informative drawing - Fix action/nla editors - Put all ipos in Actions (object, mesh key, lamp color) - Add hooks - Null bones - Much more advanced constraints... Bugfixes; - OGL render (view3d header) had wrong first frame on anim render - Ipo 'recording' mode had wrong playback speed - Vertex-key mode now sticks to show 'active key', until frame change -Ton-

== Action Editor - Groups for Action Channels (Peach Request) == Now, you can assign Action Channels to named (folder-like) groups, which help to organise the channels (important for more complex rigs). These are collapsible, can be "protected", and show a "summary" of the keyframes in the channels the Group contains. They are drawn as bright-green (active) or a darker shade of green (not active) channels. * Each Action has its own set of Groups. * An Action-Channel can only occur in one Group at a time. It can also not occur in any group. * Action-Channels can be moved between Groups * Groups + grouped-channels always occur BEFORE un-grouped channels Important Hotkeys: * Shift-G : Adds the selected Action-Channels to the Active Group. This will create a new group if need be * Ctrl-Shift-G : Always adds a new group, and adds the selected Action-Channels to it * Alt-G : Removes selected Action-Channels from their groups * Ctrl-Shift-Alt-G : (Note: this will be removed soon) This is a simple debugging-hotkey I added, which just prints a list of the groups, channels, and their addresses... * NKey / Ctrl-LMB: While hovering over the name of a group, this shows a popup like for other channels, which allows the editing of the channel's name, etc. Assorted Notes: * Some tools may not work yet with this (Ctrl Numpad+/- for example) * Fixed some bugs in various places in Action Editor code * Added theme colours for group channels * The nomenclature of these tools may change in future when a better alternative is found * The ability to auto-assign action-channels to groups when they are keyframed will be coming up shortly

Result of 2 weeks of quiet coding work in Greece :) Aim was to get a total refresh of the animation system. This is needed because; - we need to upgrade it with 21st century features - current code is spaghetti/hack combo, and hides good design - it should become lag-free with using dependency graphs A full log, with complete code API/structure/design explanation will follow, that's a load of work... so here below the list with hot changes; - The entire object update system (matrices, geometry) is now centralized. Calls to where_is_object and makeDispList are forbidden, instead we tag objects 'changed' and let the depgraph code sort it out - Removed all old "Ika" code - Depgraph is aware of all relationships, including meta balls, constraints, bevelcurve, and so on. - Made depgraph aware of relation types and layers, to do smart flushing of 'changed' events. Nothing gets calculated too often! - Transform uses depgraph to detect changes - On frame-advance, depgraph flushes animated changes Armatures; Almost all armature related code has been fully built from scratch. It now reveils the original design much better, with a very clean implementation, lag free without even calculating each Bone more than once. Result is quite a speedup yes! Important to note is; 1) Armature is data containing the 'rest position' 2) Pose is the changes of rest position, and always on object level. That way more Objects can use same Pose. Also constraints are in Pose 3) Actions only contain the Ipos to change values in Poses. - Bones draw unrotated now - Drawing bones speedup enormously (10-20 times) - Bone selecting in EditMode, selection state is saved for PoseMode, and vice-versa - Undo in editmode - Bone renaming does vertexgroups, constraints, posechannels, actions, for all users of Armature in entire file - Added Bone renaming in NKey panel - Nkey PoseMode shows eulers now - EditMode and PoseMode now have 'active' bone too (last clicked) - Parenting in EditMode' CTRL+P, ALT+P, with nice options! - Pose is added in Outliner now, with showing that constraints are in the Pose, not Armature - Disconnected IK solving from constraints. It's a separate phase now, on top of the full Pose calculations - Pose itself has a dependency graph too, so evaluation order is lag free. TODO NOW; - Rotating in Posemode has incorrect inverse transform (Martin will fix) - Python Bone/Armature/Pose API disabled... needs full recode too (wait for my doc!) - Game engine will need upgrade too - Depgraph code needs revision, cleanup, can be much faster! (But, compliments for Jean-Luc, it works like a charm!) - IK changed, it now doesnt use previous position to advance to next position anymore. That system looks nice (no flips) but is not well suited for NLA and background render.

== Constraints System == After just over a week of coding, I've finished doing a major refactor/cleanup of the constraints code. In the process, quite a few old kludges and ugly hacks have been removed. Also, some new features which will greatly benefit riggers have been implemented. === What's New === * The long-awaited ``ChildOf Constraint'': This allows you to animate parent influences, and choose which transformation channels the parent affects the child on (i.e. no translation/rotation/scaling). It should be noted that disabling some combinations may not totally work as expected. Also, the 'Set Inverse' and 'Clear Inverse' buttons at the bottom of this constraint's panel set/clear the inverse correction for the parent's effects. Use these to make the owner not stick/be glued to the parent. * Constraint/Target Evaluation Spaces: In some constraints, there are now 1-2 combo boxes at the bottom of their panel, which allows you to pick which `co-ordinate space' they are evaluated in. This is much more flexible than the old 'local' options for bones only were. * Action Constraint - Loc/Rot/Size Inputs The Action Constraint can finally use the target's location/rotation/scaling transforms as input, to control the owner of the constraint. This should work much more reliably than it used to. The target evaluation should now also be more accurate due to the new space conversion stuff. * Transform - No longer in Crazy Space (TM) Transforming objects/bones with constraints applied should no longer occur in Crazy Space. They are now correctly inverse-corrected. This also applies to old-style object tracking. === General Code Changes === * solve_constraints is now in constraints.c. I've removed the old `blend consecutive constraints of same type' junk, which made the code more complex than it needed to be. * evaluate_constraint is now only passed the constraint, and two matrices. A few unused variables have been removed from here. * A tempolary struct, bConstraintOb, is now passed to solve_constraints instead of relying on an ugly, static workobject in some cases. This works much better. * Made the formatting of constraint code consistent * There's a version patch for older files so that constraint settings are correctly converted to the new system. This is currently done for MajorVersion <= 244, and SubVersion < 3. I've bumped up the subversion to 3 for this purpose. However, with the imminent 2.45 release, this may need to be adjusted accordingly. * LocEulSizeToMat4 and LocQuatSizeToMat4 now work in the order Size, Rot, Location. I've also added a few other math functions. * Mat4BlendMat4 is now in arithb. I've modified it's method slightly, to use other arithb functions, instead of its crazy blending scheme. * Moved some of the RigidBodyJoint constraint's code out of blenkernel, and into src. It shouldn't be setting its target in its data initialisation function based + accessing scene stuff where it was doing so. === Future Work === * Geometry to act as targets for constraints. A space has been reserved for this already. * Tidy up UI buttons of constraints

(But, compliments for Jean-Luc, it works like a charm!) - IK changed, it now doesnt use previous position to advance to next position anymore. That system looks nice (no flips) but is not well suited for NLA and background render. TODO LATER; We now can do loadsa new nifty features as well; like: - Kill PoseMode (can be option for armatures itself) - Make B-Bones (Bezier, Bspline, like for spines) - Move all silly button level edit to 3d window (like CTRL+I = add IK) - Much better & informative drawing - Fix action/nla editors - Put all ipos in Actions (object, mesh key, lamp color) - Add hooks - Null bones - Much more advanced constraints... Bugfixes; - OGL render (view3d header) had wrong first frame on anim render - Ipo 'recording' mode had wrong playback speed - Vertex-key mode now sticks to show 'active key', until frame change -Ton-

== Constraints System == After just over a week of coding, I've finished doing a major refactor/cleanup of the constraints code. In the process, quite a few old kludges and ugly hacks have been removed. Also, some new features which will greatly benefit riggers have been implemented. === What's New === * The long-awaited ``ChildOf Constraint'': This allows you to animate parent influences, and choose which transformation channels the parent affects the child on (i.e. no translation/rotation/scaling). It should be noted that disabling some combinations may not totally work as expected. Also, the 'Set Inverse' and 'Clear Inverse' buttons at the bottom of this constraint's panel set/clear the inverse correction for the parent's effects. Use these to make the owner not stick/be glued to the parent. * Constraint/Target Evaluation Spaces: In some constraints, there are now 1-2 combo boxes at the bottom of their panel, which allows you to pick which `co-ordinate space' they are evaluated in. This is much more flexible than the old 'local' options for bones only were. * Action Constraint - Loc/Rot/Size Inputs The Action Constraint can finally use the target's location/rotation/scaling transforms as input, to control the owner of the constraint. This should work much more reliably than it used to. The target evaluation should now also be more accurate due to the new space conversion stuff. * Transform - No longer in Crazy Space (TM) Transforming objects/bones with constraints applied should no longer occur in Crazy Space. They are now correctly inverse-corrected. This also applies to old-style object tracking. === General Code Changes === * solve_constraints is now in constraints.c. I've removed the old `blend consecutive constraints of same type' junk, which made the code more complex than it needed to be. * evaluate_constraint is now only passed the constraint, and two matrices. A few unused variables have been removed from here. * A tempolary struct, bConstraintOb, is now passed to solve_constraints instead of relying on an ugly, static workobject in some cases. This works much better. * Made the formatting of constraint code consistent * There's a version patch for older files so that constraint settings are correctly converted to the new system. This is currently done for MajorVersion <= 244, and SubVersion < 3. I've bumped up the subversion to 3 for this purpose. However, with the imminent 2.45 release, this may need to be adjusted accordingly. * LocEulSizeToMat4 and LocQuatSizeToMat4 now work in the order Size, Rot, Location. I've also added a few other math functions. * Mat4BlendMat4 is now in arithb. I've modified it's method slightly, to use other arithb functions, instead of its crazy blending scheme. * Moved some of the RigidBodyJoint constraint's code out of blenkernel, and into src. It shouldn't be setting its target in its data initialisation function based + accessing scene stuff where it was doing so. === Future Work === * Geometry to act as targets for constraints. A space has been reserved for this already. * Tidy up UI buttons of constraints

Result of 2 weeks of quiet coding work in Greece :) Aim was to get a total refresh of the animation system. This is needed because; - we need to upgrade it with 21st century features - current code is spaghetti/hack combo, and hides good design - it should become lag-free with using dependency graphs A full log, with complete code API/structure/design explanation will follow, that's a load of work... so here below the list with hot changes; - The entire object update system (matrices, geometry) is now centralized. Calls to where_is_object and makeDispList are forbidden, instead we tag objects 'changed' and let the depgraph code sort it out - Removed all old "Ika" code - Depgraph is aware of all relationships, including meta balls, constraints, bevelcurve, and so on. - Made depgraph aware of relation types and layers, to do smart flushing of 'changed' events. Nothing gets calculated too often! - Transform uses depgraph to detect changes - On frame-advance, depgraph flushes animated changes Armatures; Almost all armature related code has been fully built from scratch. It now reveils the original design much better, with a very clean implementation, lag free without even calculating each Bone more than once. Result is quite a speedup yes! Important to note is; 1) Armature is data containing the 'rest position' 2) Pose is the changes of rest position, and always on object level. That way more Objects can use same Pose. Also constraints are in Pose 3) Actions only contain the Ipos to change values in Poses. - Bones draw unrotated now - Drawing bones speedup enormously (10-20 times) - Bone selecting in EditMode, selection state is saved for PoseMode, and vice-versa - Undo in editmode - Bone renaming does vertexgroups, constraints, posechannels, actions, for all users of Armature in entire file - Added Bone renaming in NKey panel - Nkey PoseMode shows eulers now - EditMode and PoseMode now have 'active' bone too (last clicked) - Parenting in EditMode' CTRL+P, ALT+P, with nice options! - Pose is added in Outliner now, with showing that constraints are in the Pose, not Armature - Disconnected IK solving from constraints. It's a separate phase now, on top of the full Pose calculations - Pose itself has a dependency graph too, so evaluation order is lag free. TODO NOW; - Rotating in Posemode has incorrect inverse transform (Martin will fix) - Python Bone/Armature/Pose API disabled... needs full recode too (wait for my doc!) - Game engine will need upgrade too - Depgraph code needs revision, cleanup, can be much faster!

Result of 2 weeks of quiet coding work in Greece :) Aim was to get a total refresh of the animation system. This is needed because; - we need to upgrade it with 21st century features - current code is spaghetti/hack combo, and hides good design - it should become lag-free with using dependency graphs A full log, with complete code API/structure/design explanation will follow, that's a load of work... so here below the list with hot changes; - The entire object update system (matrices, geometry) is now centralized. Calls to where_is_object and makeDispList are forbidden, instead we tag objects 'changed' and let the depgraph code sort it out - Removed all old "Ika" code - Depgraph is aware of all relationships, including meta balls, constraints, bevelcurve, and so on. - Made depgraph aware of relation types and layers, to do smart flushing of 'changed' events. Nothing gets calculated too often! - Transform uses depgraph to detect changes - On frame-advance, depgraph flushes animated changes Armatures; Almost all armature related code has been fully built from scratch. It now reveils the original design much better, with a very clean implementation, lag free without even calculating each Bone more than once. Result is quite a speedup yes! Important to note is; 1) Armature is data containing the 'rest position' 2) Pose is the changes of rest position, and always on object level. That way more Objects can use same Pose. Also constraints are in Pose 3) Actions only contain the Ipos to change values in Poses. - Bones draw unrotated now - Drawing bones speedup enormously (10-20 times) - Bone selecting in EditMode, selection state is saved for PoseMode, and vice-versa - Undo in editmode - Bone renaming does vertexgroups, constraints, posechannels, actions, for all users of Armature in entire file - Added Bone renaming in NKey panel - Nkey PoseMode shows eulers now - EditMode and PoseMode now have 'active' bone too (last clicked) - Parenting in EditMode' CTRL+P, ALT+P, with nice options! - Pose is added in Outliner now, with showing that constraints are in the Pose, not Armature - Disconnected IK solving from constraints. It's a separate phase now, on top of the full Pose calculations - Pose itself has a dependency graph too, so evaluation order is lag free. TODO NOW; - Rotating in Posemode has incorrect inverse transform (Martin will fix) - Python Bone/Armature/Pose API disabled... needs full recode too (wait for my doc!) - Game engine will need upgrade too - Depgraph code needs revision, cleanup, can be much faster! (But, compliments for Jean-Luc, it works like a charm!) - IK changed, it now doesnt use previous position to advance to next position anymore.

== Bone Groups == I'm committing some work-in-progress code for "bone groups" now, as I there have been are some major bugs caused by the timeoffset stuff (some of my test files were not loading, and other files were showing all sorts of weird problems). Anyway, in this commit, the following things for "bone groups" have been done: * Bone groups are stored per armature (internally, this is per bPose block) * Added controls for editing bone-groups per armature - "add", "remove", "rename". These can be found in the "Links and Materials" panel in PoseMode, beside the settings for PoseLib. * Reorganised buttons for editing selected bones in PoseMode. I've replaced the "dist" and "weight" buttons (they existed in EditMode anyway) with a menu to choose the bone-group and the custom-shape-ob field. In the place of the old custom-shape-ob field, I've restored the "Hide" button. This might break muscle-memory a bit, but there isn't a lot of space to play with there. Some stuff I'd been originally planning to do before committing: * When adding keyframes for bones, an action-group with the same name as the bone's group will be added to the action, and the action-channel will be made a member of that. * New action/bone groups have unique names (renaming/adding new should check if name exists before assigning it) * There's a setting under Bone-Groups stuff which sets which custom-colour set is used to colour that group's bones. Currently, this is non-functional, as the necessary drawing code for armatures is not in place yet.

void update_pose_constraint_flags(bPose *pose)
{
Integration of new IK lib features in Armature Poses. Best is to forget yesterday's commit and old docs. New docs are underway... Here's how IK works now; - IK chains can go all the way to the furthest parent Bone. Disregarding the old option "IK to Parent" and disgregarding whether a Bone has an offset to its parent (offsets now work for IK, so you can also make T-bones). - The old "IK to Parent" option now only does what it should do: it denotes whether a Bone is directly connected to a Parent Bone, or not. In the UI and in code this option is now called "Connected". - You can also define yourself which Bone will become the "Root" for an IK chain. This can be any Parent of the IK tip (where the IK constraint is). By default it goes all the way, unless you set a value for the new IK Constraint Panel option "Chain Lenght". - "Tree IK" now is detected automatic, when multiple IK Roots are on the same Bone, and when there's a branched structure. Multiple IK's on a single chain (no branches) is still executed as usual, doing the IK's sequentially. - Note: Branched structures, with _partial_ overlapping IK chains, that don't share the same Root will possibly disconnect branches. - When you select a Bone with IK, it now draws a yellow dashed line to its Root. - The IK options "Location Weight" and "Rotation Weight" are relative, in case there's a Tree IK structure. These weights cannot be set to zero. To animate or disable IK Targets, use the "Influence" slider. - This new IK is backwards and upwards compatible for Blender files. Of course, the new features won't show in older Blender binaries! :) Other changes & notes; - In PoseMode, the Constraint Panel now also draws in Editing Buttons, next to the Bones Panel. - IK Constraint Panel was redesigned... it's still a bit squished - Buttons "No X DoF" is now called "Lock X". This to follow convention to name options positive. - Added Undo push for Make/Clear Parent in Editmode Armature - Use CTRL+P "Make Parent" on a single selected Bone to make it become connected (ALT+P had already "Disconnect"). On todo next; Visualizing & review of Bone DoF limits and stiffness

Calls to where_is_object and makeDispList are forbidden, instead we tag objects 'changed' and let the depgraph code sort it out - Removed all old "Ika" code - Depgraph is aware of all relationships, including meta balls, constraints, bevelcurve, and so on. - Made depgraph aware of relation types and layers, to do smart flushing of 'changed' events. Nothing gets calculated too often! - Transform uses depgraph to detect changes - On frame-advance, depgraph flushes animated changes Armatures; Almost all armature related code has been fully built from scratch. It now reveils the original design much better, with a very clean implementation, lag free without even calculating each Bone more than once. Result is quite a speedup yes! Important to note is; 1) Armature is data containing the 'rest position' 2) Pose is the changes of rest position, and always on object level. That way more Objects can use same Pose. Also constraints are in Pose 3) Actions only contain the Ipos to change values in Poses. - Bones draw unrotated now - Drawing bones speedup enormously (10-20 times) - Bone selecting in EditMode, selection state is saved for PoseMode, and vice-versa - Undo in editmode - Bone renaming does vertexgroups, constraints, posechannels, actions, for all users of Armature in entire file - Added Bone renaming in NKey panel - Nkey PoseMode shows eulers now - EditMode and PoseMode now have 'active' bone too (last clicked) - Parenting in EditMode' CTRL+P, ALT+P, with nice options! - Pose is added in Outliner now, with showing that constraints are in the Pose, not Armature - Disconnected IK solving from constraints. It's a separate phase now, on top of the full Pose calculations - Pose itself has a dependency graph too, so evaluation order is lag free. TODO NOW; - Rotating in Posemode has incorrect inverse transform (Martin will fix) - Python Bone/Armature/Pose API disabled... needs full recode too (wait for my doc!) - Game engine will need upgrade too - Depgraph code needs revision, cleanup, can be much faster! (But, compliments for Jean-Luc, it works like a charm!) - IK changed, it now doesnt use previous position to advance to next position anymore. That system looks nice (no flips) but is not well suited for NLA and background render. TODO LATER; We now can do loadsa new nifty features as well; like: - Kill PoseMode (can be option for armatures itself) - Make B-Bones (Bezier, Bspline, like for spines) - Move all silly button level edit to 3d window (like CTRL+I = add IK) - Much better & informative drawing - Fix action/nla editors - Put all ipos in Actions (object, mesh key, lamp color) - Add hooks - Null bones - Much more advanced constraints... Bugfixes; - OGL render (view3d header) had wrong first frame on anim render - Ipo 'recording' mode had wrong playback speed - Vertex-key mode now sticks to show 'active key', until frame change -Ton-

Integration of new IK lib features in Armature Poses. Best is to forget yesterday's commit and old docs. New docs are underway... Here's how IK works now; - IK chains can go all the way to the furthest parent Bone. Disregarding the old option "IK to Parent" and disgregarding whether a Bone has an offset to its parent (offsets now work for IK, so you can also make T-bones). - The old "IK to Parent" option now only does what it should do: it denotes whether a Bone is directly connected to a Parent Bone, or not. In the UI and in code this option is now called "Connected". - You can also define yourself which Bone will become the "Root" for an IK chain. This can be any Parent of the IK tip (where the IK constraint is). By default it goes all the way, unless you set a value for the new IK Constraint Panel option "Chain Lenght". - "Tree IK" now is detected automatic, when multiple IK Roots are on the same Bone, and when there's a branched structure. Multiple IK's on a single chain (no branches) is still executed as usual, doing the IK's sequentially. - Note: Branched structures, with _partial_ overlapping IK chains, that don't share the same Root will possibly disconnect branches. - When you select a Bone with IK, it now draws a yellow dashed line to its Root. - The IK options "Location Weight" and "Rotation Weight" are relative, in case there's a Tree IK structure. These weights cannot be set to zero. To animate or disable IK Targets, use the "Influence" slider. - This new IK is backwards and upwards compatible for Blender files. Of course, the new features won't show in older Blender binaries! :) Other changes & notes; - In PoseMode, the Constraint Panel now also draws in Editing Buttons, next to the Bones Panel. - IK Constraint Panel was redesigned... it's still a bit squished - Buttons "No X DoF" is now called "Lock X". This to follow convention to name options positive. - Added Undo push for Make/Clear Parent in Editmode Armature - Use CTRL+P "Make Parent" on a single selected Bone to make it become connected (ALT+P had already "Disconnect"). On todo next; Visualizing & review of Bone DoF limits and stiffness

It's a separate phase now, on top of the full Pose calculations - Pose itself has a dependency graph too, so evaluation order is lag free. TODO NOW; - Rotating in Posemode has incorrect inverse transform (Martin will fix) - Python Bone/Armature/Pose API disabled... needs full recode too (wait for my doc!) - Game engine will need upgrade too - Depgraph code needs revision, cleanup, can be much faster! (But, compliments for Jean-Luc, it works like a charm!) - IK changed, it now doesnt use previous position to advance to next position anymore. That system looks nice (no flips) but is not well suited for NLA and background render. TODO LATER; We now can do loadsa new nifty features as well; like: - Kill PoseMode (can be option for armatures itself) - Make B-Bones (Bezier, Bspline, like for spines) - Move all silly button level edit to 3d window (like CTRL+I = add IK) - Much better & informative drawing - Fix action/nla editors - Put all ipos in Actions (object, mesh key, lamp color) - Add hooks - Null bones - Much more advanced constraints... Bugfixes; - OGL render (view3d header) had wrong first frame on anim render - Ipo 'recording' mode had wrong playback speed - Vertex-key mode now sticks to show 'active key', until frame change -Ton-

== Bone Groups == I'm committing some work-in-progress code for "bone groups" now, as I there have been are some major bugs caused by the timeoffset stuff (some of my test files were not loading, and other files were showing all sorts of weird problems). Anyway, in this commit, the following things for "bone groups" have been done: * Bone groups are stored per armature (internally, this is per bPose block) * Added controls for editing bone-groups per armature - "add", "remove", "rename". These can be found in the "Links and Materials" panel in PoseMode, beside the settings for PoseLib. * Reorganised buttons for editing selected bones in PoseMode. I've replaced the "dist" and "weight" buttons (they existed in EditMode anyway) with a menu to choose the bone-group and the custom-shape-ob field. In the place of the old custom-shape-ob field, I've restored the "Hide" button. This might break muscle-memory a bit, but there isn't a lot of space to play with there. Some stuff I'd been originally planning to do before committing: * When adding keyframes for bones, an action-group with the same name as the bone's group will be added to the action, and the action-channel will be made a member of that. * New action/bone groups have unique names (renaming/adding new should check if name exists before assigning it) * There's a setting under Bone-Groups stuff which sets which custom-colour set is used to colour that group's bones. Currently, this is non-functional, as the necessary drawing code for armatures is not in place yet.

Result of 2 weeks of quiet coding work in Greece :) Aim was to get a total refresh of the animation system. This is needed because; - we need to upgrade it with 21st century features - current code is spaghetti/hack combo, and hides good design - it should become lag-free with using dependency graphs A full log, with complete code API/structure/design explanation will follow, that's a load of work... so here below the list with hot changes; - The entire object update system (matrices, geometry) is now centralized. Calls to where_is_object and makeDispList are forbidden, instead we tag objects 'changed' and let the depgraph code sort it out - Removed all old "Ika" code - Depgraph is aware of all relationships, including meta balls, constraints, bevelcurve, and so on. - Made depgraph aware of relation types and layers, to do smart flushing of 'changed' events.

Two wonderful new NLA & Armature editing features! - FORWARD CYCLING & MATCHING Up to no now, adding multiple actions in NLA with walkcycles required to animate them standing still, as if walking on a conveyor belt. The stride option then makes the object itself move forward, trying to keep the foot stuck on the floor (with poor results!). This option now allows to make walk cycles moving forward. By indicating a reference Offset Bone, the NLA system will use that bone to detect the correct offset for the Armature Pose to make it seamlessly going forward. Best of all, this option works as for cyclic Action Strips as well as for individual Action Strips. Note that for individual strips, you have to set the strip on "Hold". (Might become automatic detected later). Here's an example edit image for NLA: http://www.blender.org/bf/nla_match-cycle.jpg And the animation for it: http://download.blender.org/demo/test/2.43/0001_0150_match.avi Blender file: http://download.blender.org/demo/test/2.43/mancandy_matching.blend Using this kind of cycling works pretty straightforward, and is a lot easier to setup than Stride Bones. To be further tested: - Blending cycles - matching rotation for the bones as well. - ACTION MODIFIERS (motion deformors) The above option was actually required for this feature. Typically walk cycles are constructed with certain Bones to be the handles, controlling for example the torso or feet. An Action Modifier allows you to use a Curve Path to deform the motion of these controlling bones. This uses the existing Curve Deformation option. Modifiers can be added per Action Strip, each controlling a channel (bone) by choice, and even allows to layer multiple modifiers on top of each other (several paths deforming motion). This option is using the dependency graph, so editing the Curve will give realtime changes in the Armature. The previous walkcycle, controlled by two curves: http://download.blender.org/demo/test/2.43/0001_0150_deform.avi Blender file: http://download.blender.org/demo/test/2.43/mancandy_actiondeform.blend Action Modifiers can be added in the NLA Properties Panel. Per Modifier you have to indicate the channel and a Curve Object. You can copy modifiers from one strip to another using CTRL+C (only copies to active Object strips). Setting up a correct Curve Path has to be carefully done: - Use SHIFT+A "Curve Path" in top view, or ensure the path is not rotated. - make sure the center point of the Curve Object is at the center of the Armature (or above) - move the first point of the curve to the center point as well. - check if the path starts from this first point, you can change it using (in Curve EditMode) the option Wkey -> "Switch Direction" - Make sure alignment uses the correct axis; if the Armature walks into the negative Y direction, you have to set in Object Buttons, "Anim settings" Panel, the correct Track option. (Note; option will probably move to the Modifier later). This is a good reason to make such paths automatic (on a command). Is on the todo list. Also note this: - the Curve Path extends in beginning and ending, that's (for now) the default, and allows to use multiple paths. Make sure paths begin and end horizontal. - Moving the Curve in Object Mode will change the "mapping" (as if the landscape a character walks over moves). Moving the Curve in Edit Mode will change the actual position of the deformation. - Speed (Ipos) on paths is not supported yet, will be done. - The Curve "Stretch" deform option doesn't work. - Modifiers are executed *after* all actions in NLA are evaluated, there's no support yet for blending multiple strips with Modifiers. - This doesn't work yet for time-mapping... This commit is mostly for review by character animators... some details or working methods might change. This feature can also be used for other modifiers, such as noise (Perlin) or the mythical "Oomph" (frequency control) and of course Python. Special thanks to Bassam & Matt for research & design help. Have fun!

Here's an example edit image for NLA: http://www.blender.org/bf/nla_match-cycle.jpg And the animation for it: http://download.blender.org/demo/test/2.43/0001_0150_match.avi Blender file: http://download.blender.org/demo/test/2.43/mancandy_matching.blend Using this kind of cycling works pretty straightforward, and is a lot easier to setup than Stride Bones. To be further tested: - Blending cycles - matching rotation for the bones as well. - ACTION MODIFIERS (motion deformors) The above option was actually required for this feature. Typically walk cycles are constructed with certain Bones to be the handles, controlling for example the torso or feet. An Action Modifier allows you to use a Curve Path to deform the motion of these controlling bones. This uses the existing Curve Deformation option. Modifiers can be added per Action Strip, each controlling a channel (bone) by choice, and even allows to layer multiple modifiers on top of each other (several paths deforming motion). This option is using the dependency graph, so editing the Curve will give realtime changes in the Armature. The previous walkcycle, controlled by two curves: http://download.blender.org/demo/test/2.43/0001_0150_deform.avi Blender file: http://download.blender.org/demo/test/2.43/mancandy_actiondeform.blend Action Modifiers can be added in the NLA Properties Panel. Per Modifier you have to indicate the channel and a Curve Object. You can copy modifiers from one strip to another using CTRL+C (only copies to active Object strips). Setting up a correct Curve Path has to be carefully done: - Use SHIFT+A "Curve Path" in top view, or ensure the path is not rotated. - make sure the center point of the Curve Object is at the center of the Armature (or above) - move the first point of the curve to the center point as well. - check if the path starts from this first point, you can change it using (in Curve EditMode) the option Wkey -> "Switch Direction" - Make sure alignment uses the correct axis; if the Armature walks into the negative Y direction, you have to set in Object Buttons, "Anim settings" Panel, the correct Track option. (Note; option will probably move to the Modifier later). This is a good reason to make such paths automatic (on a command). Is on the todo list. Also note this: - the Curve Path extends in beginning and ending, that's (for now) the default, and allows to use multiple paths. Make sure paths begin and end horizontal. - Moving the Curve in Object Mode will change the "mapping" (as if the landscape a character walks over moves). Moving the Curve in Edit Mode will change the actual position of the deformation. - Speed (Ipos) on paths is not supported yet, will be done. - The Curve "Stretch" deform option doesn't work. - Modifiers are executed *after* all actions in NLA are evaluated, there's no support yet for blending multiple strips with Modifiers. - This doesn't work yet for time-mapping... This commit is mostly for review by character animators... some details or working methods might change. This feature can also be used for other modifiers, such as noise (Perlin) or the mythical "Oomph" (frequency control) and of course Python. Special thanks to Bassam & Matt for research & design help. Have fun!

Result of 2 weeks of quiet coding work in Greece :) Aim was to get a total refresh of the animation system. This is needed because; - we need to upgrade it with 21st century features - current code is spaghetti/hack combo, and hides good design - it should become lag-free with using dependency graphs A full log, with complete code API/structure/design explanation will follow, that's a load of work... so here below the list with hot changes; - The entire object update system (matrices, geometry) is now centralized. Calls to where_is_object and makeDispList are forbidden, instead we tag objects 'changed' and let the depgraph code sort it out - Removed all old "Ika" code - Depgraph is aware of all relationships, including meta balls, constraints, bevelcurve, and so on. - Made depgraph aware of relation types and layers, to do smart flushing of 'changed' events. Nothing gets calculated too often! - Transform uses depgraph to detect changes - On frame-advance, depgraph flushes animated changes Armatures; Almost all armature related code has been fully built from scratch. It now reveils the original design much better, with a very clean implementation, lag free without even calculating each Bone more than once. Result is quite a speedup yes! Important to note is; 1) Armature is data containing the 'rest position' 2) Pose is the changes of rest position, and always on object level. That way more Objects can use same Pose. Also constraints are in Pose 3) Actions only contain the Ipos to change values in Poses. - Bones draw unrotated now - Drawing bones speedup enormously (10-20 times) - Bone selecting in EditMode, selection state is saved for PoseMode, and vice-versa - Undo in editmode - Bone renaming does vertexgroups, constraints, posechannels, actions, for all users of Armature in entire file - Added Bone renaming in NKey panel - Nkey PoseMode shows eulers now - EditMode and PoseMode now have 'active' bone too (last clicked) - Parenting in EditMode' CTRL+P, ALT+P, with nice options! - Pose is added in Outliner now, with showing that constraints are in the Pose, not Armature - Disconnected IK solving from constraints. It's a separate phase now, on top of the full Pose calculations - Pose itself has a dependency graph too, so evaluation order is lag free. TODO NOW; - Rotating in Posemode has incorrect inverse transform (Martin will fix) - Python Bone/Armature/Pose API disabled... needs full recode too (wait for my doc!) - Game engine will need upgrade too - Depgraph code needs revision, cleanup, can be much faster! (But, compliments for Jean-Luc, it works like a charm!) - IK changed, it now doesnt use previous position to advance to next position anymore. That system looks nice (no flips) but is not well suited for NLA and background render. TODO LATER; We now can do loadsa new nifty features as well; like: - Kill PoseMode (can be option for armatures itself) - Make B-Bones (Bezier, Bspline, like for spines) - Move all silly button level edit to 3d window (like CTRL+I = add IK) - Much better & informative drawing - Fix action/nla editors - Put all ipos in Actions (object, mesh key, lamp color) - Add hooks - Null bones - Much more advanced constraints... Bugfixes; - OGL render (view3d header) had wrong first frame on anim render - Ipo 'recording' mode had wrong playback speed - Vertex-key mode now sticks to show 'active key', until frame change -Ton-

Two wonderful new NLA & Armature editing features! - FORWARD CYCLING & MATCHING Up to no now, adding multiple actions in NLA with walkcycles required to animate them standing still, as if walking on a conveyor belt. The stride option then makes the object itself move forward, trying to keep the foot stuck on the floor (with poor results!). This option now allows to make walk cycles moving forward. By indicating a reference Offset Bone, the NLA system will use that bone to detect the correct offset for the Armature Pose to make it seamlessly going forward. Best of all, this option works as for cyclic Action Strips as well as for individual Action Strips. Note that for individual strips, you have to set the strip on "Hold". (Might become automatic detected later). Here's an example edit image for NLA: http://www.blender.org/bf/nla_match-cycle.jpg And the animation for it: http://download.blender.org/demo/test/2.43/0001_0150_match.avi Blender file: http://download.blender.org/demo/test/2.43/mancandy_matching.blend Using this kind of cycling works pretty straightforward, and is a lot easier to setup than Stride Bones.

Result of 2 weeks of quiet coding work in Greece :) Aim was to get a total refresh of the animation system. This is needed because; - we need to upgrade it with 21st century features - current code is spaghetti/hack combo, and hides good design - it should become lag-free with using dependency graphs A full log, with complete code API/structure/design explanation will follow, that's a load of work... so here below the list with hot changes; - The entire object update system (matrices, geometry) is now centralized. Calls to where_is_object and makeDispList are forbidden, instead we tag objects 'changed' and let the depgraph code sort it out - Removed all old "Ika" code - Depgraph is aware of all relationships, including meta balls, constraints, bevelcurve, and so on. - Made depgraph aware of relation types and layers, to do smart flushing of 'changed' events. Nothing gets calculated too often! - Transform uses depgraph to detect changes - On frame-advance, depgraph flushes animated changes Armatures; Almost all armature related code has been fully built from scratch. It now reveils the original design much better, with a very clean implementation, lag free without even calculating each Bone more than once. Result is quite a speedup yes! Important to note is; 1) Armature is data containing the 'rest position' 2) Pose is the changes of rest position, and always on object level. That way more Objects can use same Pose.

Two wonderful new NLA & Armature editing features! - FORWARD CYCLING & MATCHING Up to no now, adding multiple actions in NLA with walkcycles required to animate them standing still, as if walking on a conveyor belt. The stride option then makes the object itself move forward, trying to keep the foot stuck on the floor (with poor results!). This option now allows to make walk cycles moving forward. By indicating a reference Offset Bone, the NLA system will use that bone to detect the correct offset for the Armature Pose to make it seamlessly going forward. Best of all, this option works as for cyclic Action Strips as well as for individual Action Strips. Note that for individual strips, you have to set the strip on "Hold". (Might become automatic detected later). Here's an example edit image for NLA: http://www.blender.org/bf/nla_match-cycle.jpg And the animation for it: http://download.blender.org/demo/test/2.43/0001_0150_match.avi Blender file: http://download.blender.org/demo/test/2.43/mancandy_matching.blend Using this kind of cycling works pretty straightforward, and is a lot easier to setup than Stride Bones. To be further tested: - Blending cycles - matching rotation for the bones as well. - ACTION MODIFIERS (motion deformors) The above option was actually required for this feature. Typically walk cycles are constructed with certain Bones to be the handles, controlling for example the torso or feet. An Action Modifier allows you to use a Curve Path to deform the motion of these controlling bones. This uses the existing Curve Deformation option. Modifiers can be added per Action Strip, each controlling a channel (bone) by choice, and even allows to layer multiple modifiers on top of each other (several paths deforming motion). This option is using the dependency graph, so editing the Curve will give realtime changes in the Armature. The previous walkcycle, controlled by two curves: http://download.blender.org/demo/test/2.43/0001_0150_deform.avi Blender file: http://download.blender.org/demo/test/2.43/mancandy_actiondeform.blend Action Modifiers can be added in the NLA Properties Panel. Per Modifier you have to indicate the channel and a Curve Object. You can copy modifiers from one strip to another using CTRL+C (only copies to active Object strips). Setting up a correct Curve Path has to be carefully done: - Use SHIFT+A "Curve Path" in top view, or ensure the path is not rotated. - make sure the center point of the Curve Object is at the center of the Armature (or above) - move the first point of the curve to the center point as well. - check if the path starts from this first point, you can change it using (in Curve EditMode) the option Wkey -> "Switch Direction" - Make sure alignment uses the correct axis; if the Armature walks into the negative Y direction, you have to set in Object Buttons, "Anim settings" Panel, the correct Track option. (Note; option will probably move to the Modifier later). This is a good reason to make such paths automatic (on a command). Is on the todo list. Also note this: - the Curve Path extends in beginning and ending, that's (for now) the default, and allows to use multiple paths. Make sure paths begin and end horizontal. - Moving the Curve in Object Mode will change the "mapping" (as if the landscape a character walks over moves). Moving the Curve in Edit Mode will change the actual position of the deformation. - Speed (Ipos) on paths is not supported yet, will be done. - The Curve "Stretch" deform option doesn't work. - Modifiers are executed *after* all actions in NLA are evaluated, there's no support yet for blending multiple strips with Modifiers. - This doesn't work yet for time-mapping... This commit is mostly for review by character animators... some details or working methods might change. This feature can also be used for other modifiers, such as noise (Perlin) or the mythical "Oomph" (frequency control) and of course Python. Special thanks to Bassam & Matt for research & design help. Have fun!

Three new features: 1) Stride Bone For walkcycles, you could already set an NLA strip to cycle over a path based on a preset distance value. This cycling happens based on a linear interpolation, with constant speed. Not all cycles have a constant speed however, like hopping or jumping. To ensure a perfect slipping-less foot contact, you now can set a Bone in an Armature to define the stride. This "Stride Bone" then becomes a sort-of ruler, a conveyor belt, on which the character walks. When using the NLA "Use Path" option, it then tries to keep the Stride Bone entirely motionless on the path, by cancelling out its motion (for the entire Armature). This means that the animation keys for a Stride Bone have to be exactly negative of the desired path. Only, at choice, the X,Y or Z Ipo curve is used for this stride. Examples: http://www.blender.org/bf/0001_0040.avi The top armature shows the actual Action, the bottom armature has been parented to a Path, using the Stride Bone feature. http://www.blender.org/bf/0001_0080.avi Here the Stride Bone has a number of children, creating a ruler to be used as reference while animating. Test .blend: http://www.blender.org/bf/motionblender1.blend Notes: - Note that action keys for Bones work local, based on the Bone's orientation as set in EditMode. Therefore, an Y translation always goes in the Bone's direction. - To be able to get a "solvable" stride, the animation curve has to be inverse evaluated, using a Newton Raphson root solver. That means you can only create stride curves that keep moving forward, and cannot return halfway. - Set the Stride Bone in the Editing Buttons, Bone Panel. You can set change the name or set the axis in the NLA Window, Strip Properties Panel. - Files in this commit will move to the blender.org release section. 2) Armature Ghosting In EditButtons, Armature Panel, you can set an armature to draw ghosts. The number value denotes the amount of frames that have to be drawn extra (for the active action!) around the current frame. Ghosts only evaluate its own Pose, executing it's Actions, Constraints and IK. No external dependencies are re-evaluated for it. 3) NLA/Action time control If you click in the NLA window on the action (linked to Object), it makes sure the Timing as drawn in the Action editor is not corrected for NLA. If you also set the Object to "Action", this timing will be executed on the Object as well (not NLA time). (It's a bit confusing... will make a good doc & maybe review UI!)

Result of 2 weeks of quiet coding work in Greece :) Aim was to get a total refresh of the animation system. This is needed because; - we need to upgrade it with 21st century features - current code is spaghetti/hack combo, and hides good design - it should become lag-free with using dependency graphs A full log, with complete code API/structure/design explanation will follow, that's a load of work... so here below the list with hot changes; - The entire object update system (matrices, geometry) is now centralized. Calls to where_is_object and makeDispList are forbidden, instead we tag objects 'changed' and let the depgraph code sort it out - Removed all old "Ika" code - Depgraph is aware of all relationships, including meta balls, constraints, bevelcurve, and so on. - Made depgraph aware of relation types and layers, to do smart flushing of 'changed' events. Nothing gets calculated too often! - Transform uses depgraph to detect changes - On frame-advance, depgraph flushes animated changes Armatures; Almost all armature related code has been fully built from scratch. It now reveils the original design much better, with a very clean implementation, lag free without even calculating each Bone more than once. Result is quite a speedup yes! Important to note is; 1) Armature is data containing the 'rest position' 2) Pose is the changes of rest position, and always on object level. That way more Objects can use same Pose.

Three new features: 1) Stride Bone For walkcycles, you could already set an NLA strip to cycle over a path based on a preset distance value. This cycling happens based on a linear interpolation, with constant speed. Not all cycles have a constant speed however, like hopping or jumping. To ensure a perfect slipping-less foot contact, you now can set a Bone in an Armature to define the stride. This "Stride Bone" then becomes a sort-of ruler, a conveyor belt, on which the character walks. When using the NLA "Use Path" option, it then tries to keep the Stride Bone entirely motionless on the path, by cancelling out its motion (for the entire Armature). This means that the animation keys for a Stride Bone have to be exactly negative of the desired path. Only, at choice, the X,Y or Z Ipo curve is used for this stride. Examples: http://www.blender.org/bf/0001_0040.avi The top armature shows the actual Action, the bottom armature has been parented to a Path, using the Stride Bone feature. http://www.blender.org/bf/0001_0080.avi Here the Stride Bone has a number of children, creating a ruler to be used as reference while animating. Test .blend: http://www.blender.org/bf/motionblender1.blend Notes: - Note that action keys for Bones work local, based on the Bone's orientation as set in EditMode. Therefore, an Y translation always goes in the Bone's direction. - To be able to get a "solvable" stride, the animation curve has to be inverse evaluated, using a Newton Raphson root solver. That means you can only create stride curves that keep moving forward, and cannot return halfway. - Set the Stride Bone in the Editing Buttons, Bone Panel. You can set change the name or set the axis in the NLA Window, Strip Properties Panel. - Files in this commit will move to the blender.org release section. 2) Armature Ghosting In EditButtons, Armature Panel, you can set an armature to draw ghosts. The number value denotes the amount of frames that have to be drawn extra (for the active action!) around the current frame. Ghosts only evaluate its own Pose, executing it's Actions, Constraints and IK. No external dependencies are re-evaluated for it. 3) NLA/Action time control If you click in the NLA window on the action (linked to Object), it makes sure the Timing as drawn in the Action editor is not corrected for NLA. If you also set the Object to "Action", this timing will be executed on the Object as well (not NLA time). (It's a bit confusing... will make a good doc & maybe review UI!)

Two wonderful new NLA & Armature editing features! - FORWARD CYCLING & MATCHING Up to no now, adding multiple actions in NLA with walkcycles required to animate them standing still, as if walking on a conveyor belt. The stride option then makes the object itself move forward, trying to keep the foot stuck on the floor (with poor results!). This option now allows to make walk cycles moving forward. By indicating a reference Offset Bone, the NLA system will use that bone to detect the correct offset for the Armature Pose to make it seamlessly going forward. Best of all, this option works as for cyclic Action Strips as well as for individual Action Strips. Note that for individual strips, you have to set the strip on "Hold". (Might become automatic detected later). Here's an example edit image for NLA: http://www.blender.org/bf/nla_match-cycle.jpg And the animation for it: http://download.blender.org/demo/test/2.43/0001_0150_match.avi Blender file: http://download.blender.org/demo/test/2.43/mancandy_matching.blend Using this kind of cycling works pretty straightforward, and is a lot easier to setup than Stride Bones. To be further tested: - Blending cycles - matching rotation for the bones as well. - ACTION MODIFIERS (motion deformors) The above option was actually required for this feature. Typically walk cycles are constructed with certain Bones to be the handles, controlling for example the torso or feet. An Action Modifier allows you to use a Curve Path to deform the motion of these controlling bones. This uses the existing Curve Deformation option. Modifiers can be added per Action Strip, each controlling a channel (bone) by choice, and even allows to layer multiple modifiers on top of each other (several paths deforming motion). This option is using the dependency graph, so editing the Curve will give realtime changes in the Armature. The previous walkcycle, controlled by two curves: http://download.blender.org/demo/test/2.43/0001_0150_deform.avi Blender file: http://download.blender.org/demo/test/2.43/mancandy_actiondeform.blend Action Modifiers can be added in the NLA Properties Panel. Per Modifier you have to indicate the channel and a Curve Object. You can copy modifiers from one strip to another using CTRL+C (only copies to active Object strips). Setting up a correct Curve Path has to be carefully done: - Use SHIFT+A "Curve Path" in top view, or ensure the path is not rotated. - make sure the center point of the Curve Object is at the center of the Armature (or above) - move the first point of the curve to the center point as well. - check if the path starts from this first point, you can change it using (in Curve EditMode) the option Wkey -> "Switch Direction" - Make sure alignment uses the correct axis; if the Armature walks into the negative Y direction, you have to set in Object Buttons, "Anim settings" Panel, the correct Track option. (Note; option will probably move to the Modifier later). This is a good reason to make such paths automatic (on a command). Is on the todo list. Also note this: - the Curve Path extends in beginning and ending, that's (for now) the default, and allows to use multiple paths. Make sure paths begin and end horizontal. - Moving the Curve in Object Mode will change the "mapping" (as if the landscape a character walks over moves). Moving the Curve in Edit Mode will change the actual position of the deformation. - Speed (Ipos) on paths is not supported yet, will be done. - The Curve "Stretch" deform option doesn't work. - Modifiers are executed *after* all actions in NLA are evaluated, there's no support yet for blending multiple strips with Modifiers. - This doesn't work yet for time-mapping... This commit is mostly for review by character animators... some details or working methods might change. This feature can also be used for other modifiers, such as noise (Perlin) or the mythical "Oomph" (frequency control) and of course Python. Special thanks to Bassam & Matt for research & design help. Have fun!

Test .blend: http://www.blender.org/bf/motionblender1.blend Notes: - Note that action keys for Bones work local, based on the Bone's orientation as set in EditMode. Therefore, an Y translation always goes in the Bone's direction. - To be able to get a "solvable" stride, the animation curve has to be inverse evaluated, using a Newton Raphson root solver. That means you can only create stride curves that keep moving forward, and cannot return halfway. - Set the Stride Bone in the Editing Buttons, Bone Panel. You can set change the name or set the axis in the NLA Window, Strip Properties Panel. - Files in this commit will move to the blender.org release section. 2) Armature Ghosting In EditButtons, Armature Panel, you can set an armature to draw ghosts. The number value denotes the amount of frames that have to be drawn extra (for the active action!) around the current frame. Ghosts only evaluate its own Pose, executing it's Actions, Constraints and IK. No external dependencies are re-evaluated for it. 3) NLA/Action time control If you click in the NLA window on the action (linked to Object), it makes sure the Timing as drawn in the Action editor is not corrected for NLA. If you also set the Object to "Action", this timing will be executed on the Object as well (not NLA time). (It's a bit confusing... will make a good doc & maybe review UI!)

Result of 2 weeks of quiet coding work in Greece :) Aim was to get a total refresh of the animation system. This is needed because; - we need to upgrade it with 21st century features - current code is spaghetti/hack combo, and hides good design - it should become lag-free with using dependency graphs A full log, with complete code API/structure/design explanation will follow, that's a load of work... so here below the list with hot changes; - The entire object update system (matrices, geometry) is now centralized. Calls to where_is_object and makeDispList are forbidden, instead we tag objects 'changed' and let the depgraph code sort it out - Removed all old "Ika" code - Depgraph is aware of all relationships, including meta balls, constraints, bevelcurve, and so on. - Made depgraph aware of relation types and layers, to do smart flushing of 'changed' events. Nothing gets calculated too often! - Transform uses depgraph to detect changes - On frame-advance, depgraph flushes animated changes Armatures; Almost all armature related code has been fully built from scratch. It now reveils the original design much better, with a very clean implementation, lag free without even calculating each Bone more than once. Result is quite a speedup yes! Important to note is; 1) Armature is data containing the 'rest position' 2) Pose is the changes of rest position, and always on object level. That way more Objects can use same Pose. Also constraints are in Pose 3) Actions only contain the Ipos to change values in Poses. - Bones draw unrotated now - Drawing bones speedup enormously (10-20 times) - Bone selecting in EditMode, selection state is saved for PoseMode, and vice-versa - Undo in editmode - Bone renaming does vertexgroups, constraints, posechannels, actions, for all users of Armature in entire file - Added Bone renaming in NKey panel - Nkey PoseMode shows eulers now - EditMode and PoseMode now have 'active' bone too (last clicked) - Parenting in EditMode' CTRL+P, ALT+P, with nice options! - Pose is added in Outliner now, with showing that constraints are in the Pose, not Armature - Disconnected IK solving from constraints. It's a separate phase now, on top of the full Pose calculations - Pose itself has a dependency graph too, so evaluation order is lag free. TODO NOW; - Rotating in Posemode has incorrect inverse transform (Martin will fix) - Python Bone/Armature/Pose API disabled... needs full recode too (wait for my doc!) - Game engine will need upgrade too - Depgraph code needs revision, cleanup, can be much faster! (But, compliments for Jean-Luc, it works like a charm!) - IK changed, it now doesnt use previous position to advance to next position anymore. That system looks nice (no flips) but is not well suited for NLA and background render. TODO LATER; We now can do loadsa new nifty features as well; like: - Kill PoseMode (can be option for armatures itself) - Make B-Bones (Bezier, Bspline, like for spines) - Move all silly button level edit to 3d window (like CTRL+I = add IK) - Much better & informative drawing - Fix action/nla editors - Put all ipos in Actions (object, mesh key, lamp color) - Add hooks - Null bones - Much more advanced constraints... Bugfixes; - OGL render (view3d header) had wrong first frame on anim render - Ipo 'recording' mode had wrong playback speed - Vertex-key mode now sticks to show 'active key', until frame change -Ton-

Two wonderful new NLA & Armature editing features! - FORWARD CYCLING & MATCHING Up to no now, adding multiple actions in NLA with walkcycles required to animate them standing still, as if walking on a conveyor belt. The stride option then makes the object itself move forward, trying to keep the foot stuck on the floor (with poor results!). This option now allows to make walk cycles moving forward. By indicating a reference Offset Bone, the NLA system will use that bone to detect the correct offset for the Armature Pose to make it seamlessly going forward. Best of all, this option works as for cyclic Action Strips as well as for individual Action Strips. Note that for individual strips, you have to set the strip on "Hold". (Might become automatic detected later). Here's an example edit image for NLA: http://www.blender.org/bf/nla_match-cycle.jpg And the animation for it: http://download.blender.org/demo/test/2.43/0001_0150_match.avi Blender file: http://download.blender.org/demo/test/2.43/mancandy_matching.blend Using this kind of cycling works pretty straightforward, and is a lot easier to setup than Stride Bones. To be further tested: - Blending cycles - matching rotation for the bones as well. - ACTION MODIFIERS (motion deformors) The above option was actually required for this feature. Typically walk cycles are constructed with certain Bones to be the handles, controlling for example the torso or feet. An Action Modifier allows you to use a Curve Path to deform the motion of these controlling bones. This uses the existing Curve Deformation option. Modifiers can be added per Action Strip, each controlling a channel (bone) by choice, and even allows to layer multiple modifiers on top of each other (several paths deforming motion). This option is using the dependency graph, so editing the Curve will give realtime changes in the Armature. The previous walkcycle, controlled by two curves: http://download.blender.org/demo/test/2.43/0001_0150_deform.avi Blender file: http://download.blender.org/demo/test/2.43/mancandy_actiondeform.blend Action Modifiers can be added in the NLA Properties Panel. Per Modifier you have to indicate the channel and a Curve Object. You can copy modifiers from one strip to another using CTRL+C (only copies to active Object strips). Setting up a correct Curve Path has to be carefully done: - Use SHIFT+A "Curve Path" in top view, or ensure the path is not rotated. - make sure the center point of the Curve Object is at the center of the Armature (or above) - move the first point of the curve to the center point as well. - check if the path starts from this first point, you can change it using (in Curve EditMode) the option Wkey -> "Switch Direction" - Make sure alignment uses the correct axis; if the Armature walks into the negative Y direction, you have to set in Object Buttons, "Anim settings" Panel, the correct Track option. (Note; option will probably move to the Modifier later). This is a good reason to make such paths automatic (on a command). Is on the todo list. Also note this: - the Curve Path extends in beginning and ending, that's (for now) the default, and allows to use multiple paths. Make sure paths begin and end horizontal. - Moving the Curve in Object Mode will change the "mapping" (as if the landscape a character walks over moves). Moving the Curve in Edit Mode will change the actual position of the deformation. - Speed (Ipos) on paths is not supported yet, will be done. - The Curve "Stretch" deform option doesn't work. - Modifiers are executed *after* all actions in NLA are evaluated, there's no support yet for blending multiple strips with Modifiers. - This doesn't work yet for time-mapping... This commit is mostly for review by character animators... some details or working methods might change. This feature can also be used for other modifiers, such as noise (Perlin) or the mythical "Oomph" (frequency control) and of course Python. Special thanks to Bassam & Matt for research & design help. Have fun!

Three new features: 1) Stride Bone For walkcycles, you could already set an NLA strip to cycle over a path based on a preset distance value. This cycling happens based on a linear interpolation, with constant speed. Not all cycles have a constant speed however, like hopping or jumping. To ensure a perfect slipping-less foot contact, you now can set a Bone in an Armature to define the stride. This "Stride Bone" then becomes a sort-of ruler, a conveyor belt, on which the character walks. When using the NLA "Use Path" option, it then tries to keep the Stride Bone entirely motionless on the path, by cancelling out its motion (for the entire Armature). This means that the animation keys for a Stride Bone have to be exactly negative of the desired path. Only, at choice, the X,Y or Z Ipo curve is used for this stride. Examples: http://www.blender.org/bf/0001_0040.avi The top armature shows the actual Action, the bottom armature has been parented to a Path, using the Stride Bone feature. http://www.blender.org/bf/0001_0080.avi Here the Stride Bone has a number of children, creating a ruler to be used as reference while animating. Test .blend: http://www.blender.org/bf/motionblender1.blend Notes: - Note that action keys for Bones work local, based on the Bone's orientation as set in EditMode. Therefore, an Y translation always goes in the Bone's direction. - To be able to get a "solvable" stride, the animation curve has to be inverse evaluated, using a Newton Raphson root solver. That means you can only create stride curves that keep moving forward, and cannot return halfway. - Set the Stride Bone in the Editing Buttons, Bone Panel. You can set change the name or set the axis in the NLA Window, Strip Properties Panel. - Files in this commit will move to the blender.org release section. 2) Armature Ghosting In EditButtons, Armature Panel, you can set an armature to draw ghosts. The number value denotes the amount of frames that have to be drawn extra (for the active action!) around the current frame. Ghosts only evaluate its own Pose, executing it's Actions, Constraints and IK. No external dependencies are re-evaluated for it. 3) NLA/Action time control If you click in the NLA window on the action (linked to Object), it makes sure the Timing as drawn in the Action editor is not corrected for NLA. If you also set the Object to "Action", this timing will be executed on the Object as well (not NLA time). (It's a bit confusing... will make a good doc & maybe review UI!)

Result of 2 weeks of quiet coding work in Greece :) Aim was to get a total refresh of the animation system. This is needed because; - we need to upgrade it with 21st century features - current code is spaghetti/hack combo, and hides good design - it should become lag-free with using dependency graphs A full log, with complete code API/structure/design explanation will follow, that's a load of work... so here below the list with hot changes; - The entire object update system (matrices, geometry) is now centralized. Calls to where_is_object and makeDispList are forbidden, instead we tag objects 'changed' and let the depgraph code sort it out - Removed all old "Ika" code - Depgraph is aware of all relationships, including meta balls, constraints, bevelcurve, and so on. - Made depgraph aware of relation types and layers, to do smart flushing of 'changed' events. Nothing gets calculated too often! - Transform uses depgraph to detect changes - On frame-advance, depgraph flushes animated changes Armatures; Almost all armature related code has been fully built from scratch. It now reveils the original design much better, with a very clean implementation, lag free without even calculating each Bone more than once. Result is quite a speedup yes!

Also constraints are in Pose 3) Actions only contain the Ipos to change values in Poses. - Bones draw unrotated now - Drawing bones speedup enormously (10-20 times) - Bone selecting in EditMode, selection state is saved for PoseMode, and vice-versa - Undo in editmode - Bone renaming does vertexgroups, constraints, posechannels, actions, for all users of Armature in entire file - Added Bone renaming in NKey panel - Nkey PoseMode shows eulers now - EditMode and PoseMode now have 'active' bone too (last clicked) - Parenting in EditMode' CTRL+P, ALT+P, with nice options! - Pose is added in Outliner now, with showing that constraints are in the Pose, not Armature - Disconnected IK solving from constraints. It's a separate phase now, on top of the full Pose calculations - Pose itself has a dependency graph too, so evaluation order is lag free. TODO NOW; - Rotating in Posemode has incorrect inverse transform (Martin will fix) - Python Bone/Armature/Pose API disabled... needs full recode too (wait for my doc!) - Game engine will need upgrade too - Depgraph code needs revision, cleanup, can be much faster! (But, compliments for Jean-Luc, it works like a charm!) - IK changed, it now doesnt use previous position to advance to next position anymore.

Bugfixes; - OGL render (view3d header) had wrong first frame on anim render - Ipo 'recording' mode had wrong playback speed - Vertex-key mode now sticks to show 'active key', until frame change -Ton-

Two wonderful new NLA & Armature editing features! - FORWARD CYCLING & MATCHING Up to no now, adding multiple actions in NLA with walkcycles required to animate them standing still, as if walking on a conveyor belt. The stride option then makes the object itself move forward, trying to keep the foot stuck on the floor (with poor results!). This option now allows to make walk cycles moving forward. By indicating a reference Offset Bone, the NLA system will use that bone to detect the correct offset for the Armature Pose to make it seamlessly going forward. Best of all, this option works as for cyclic Action Strips as well as for individual Action Strips. Note that for individual strips, you have to set the strip on "Hold". (Might become automatic detected later). Here's an example edit image for NLA: http://www.blender.org/bf/nla_match-cycle.jpg And the animation for it: http://download.blender.org/demo/test/2.43/0001_0150_match.avi Blender file: http://download.blender.org/demo/test/2.43/mancandy_matching.blend Using this kind of cycling works pretty straightforward, and is a lot easier to setup than Stride Bones. To be further tested: - Blending cycles - matching rotation for the bones as well. - ACTION MODIFIERS (motion deformors) The above option was actually required for this feature. Typically walk cycles are constructed with certain Bones to be the handles, controlling for example the torso or feet. An Action Modifier allows you to use a Curve Path to deform the motion of these controlling bones. This uses the existing Curve Deformation option. Modifiers can be added per Action Strip, each controlling a channel (bone) by choice, and even allows to layer multiple modifiers on top of each other (several paths deforming motion). This option is using the dependency graph, so editing the Curve will give realtime changes in the Armature. The previous walkcycle, controlled by two curves: http://download.blender.org/demo/test/2.43/0001_0150_deform.avi Blender file: http://download.blender.org/demo/test/2.43/mancandy_actiondeform.blend Action Modifiers can be added in the NLA Properties Panel. Per Modifier you have to indicate the channel and a Curve Object. You can copy modifiers from one strip to another using CTRL+C (only copies to active Object strips). Setting up a correct Curve Path has to be carefully done: - Use SHIFT+A "Curve Path" in top view, or ensure the path is not rotated. - make sure the center point of the Curve Object is at the center of the Armature (or above) - move the first point of the curve to the center point as well. - check if the path starts from this first point, you can change it using (in Curve EditMode) the option Wkey -> "Switch Direction" - Make sure alignment uses the correct axis; if the Armature walks into the negative Y direction, you have to set in Object Buttons, "Anim settings" Panel, the correct Track option. (Note; option will probably move to the Modifier later). This is a good reason to make such paths automatic (on a command). Is on the todo list. Also note this: - the Curve Path extends in beginning and ending, that's (for now) the default, and allows to use multiple paths. Make sure paths begin and end horizontal. - Moving the Curve in Object Mode will change the "mapping" (as if the landscape a character walks over moves). Moving the Curve in Edit Mode will change the actual position of the deformation. - Speed (Ipos) on paths is not supported yet, will be done. - The Curve "Stretch" deform option doesn't work. - Modifiers are executed *after* all actions in NLA are evaluated, there's no support yet for blending multiple strips with Modifiers. - This doesn't work yet for time-mapping... This commit is mostly for review by character animators... some details or working methods might change. This feature can also be used for other modifiers, such as noise (Perlin) or the mythical "Oomph" (frequency control) and of course Python. Special thanks to Bassam & Matt for research & design help. Have fun!

Three new features: 1) Stride Bone For walkcycles, you could already set an NLA strip to cycle over a path based on a preset distance value. This cycling happens based on a linear interpolation, with constant speed. Not all cycles have a constant speed however, like hopping or jumping. To ensure a perfect slipping-less foot contact, you now can set a Bone in an Armature to define the stride. This "Stride Bone" then becomes a sort-of ruler, a conveyor belt, on which the character walks. When using the NLA "Use Path" option, it then tries to keep the Stride Bone entirely motionless on the path, by cancelling out its motion (for the entire Armature). This means that the animation keys for a Stride Bone have to be exactly negative of the desired path. Only, at choice, the X,Y or Z Ipo curve is used for this stride. Examples: http://www.blender.org/bf/0001_0040.avi The top armature shows the actual Action, the bottom armature has been parented to a Path, using the Stride Bone feature. http://www.blender.org/bf/0001_0080.avi Here the Stride Bone has a number of children, creating a ruler to be used as reference while animating. Test .blend: http://www.blender.org/bf/motionblender1.blend Notes: - Note that action keys for Bones work local, based on the Bone's orientation as set in EditMode. Therefore, an Y translation always goes in the Bone's direction. - To be able to get a "solvable" stride, the animation curve has to be inverse evaluated, using a Newton Raphson root solver. That means you can only create stride curves that keep moving forward, and cannot return halfway. - Set the Stride Bone in the Editing Buttons, Bone Panel. You can set change the name or set the axis in the NLA Window, Strip Properties Panel. - Files in this commit will move to the blender.org release section. 2) Armature Ghosting In EditButtons, Armature Panel, you can set an armature to draw ghosts. The number value denotes the amount of frames that have to be drawn extra (for the active action!) around the current frame. Ghosts only evaluate its own Pose, executing it's Actions, Constraints and IK. No external dependencies are re-evaluated for it. 3) NLA/Action time control If you click in the NLA window on the action (linked to Object), it makes sure the Timing as drawn in the Action editor is not corrected for NLA. If you also set the Object to "Action", this timing will be executed on the Object as well (not NLA time). (It's a bit confusing... will make a good doc & maybe review UI!)

Two wonderful new NLA & Armature editing features! - FORWARD CYCLING & MATCHING Up to no now, adding multiple actions in NLA with walkcycles required to animate them standing still, as if walking on a conveyor belt. The stride option then makes the object itself move forward, trying to keep the foot stuck on the floor (with poor results!). This option now allows to make walk cycles moving forward. By indicating a reference Offset Bone, the NLA system will use that bone to detect the correct offset for the Armature Pose to make it seamlessly going forward. Best of all, this option works as for cyclic Action Strips as well as for individual Action Strips. Note that for individual strips, you have to set the strip on "Hold". (Might become automatic detected later). Here's an example edit image for NLA: http://www.blender.org/bf/nla_match-cycle.jpg And the animation for it: http://download.blender.org/demo/test/2.43/0001_0150_match.avi Blender file: http://download.blender.org/demo/test/2.43/mancandy_matching.blend Using this kind of cycling works pretty straightforward, and is a lot easier to setup than Stride Bones. To be further tested: - Blending cycles - matching rotation for the bones as well. - ACTION MODIFIERS (motion deformors) The above option was actually required for this feature. Typically walk cycles are constructed with certain Bones to be the handles, controlling for example the torso or feet. An Action Modifier allows you to use a Curve Path to deform the motion of these controlling bones. This uses the existing Curve Deformation option. Modifiers can be added per Action Strip, each controlling a channel (bone) by choice, and even allows to layer multiple modifiers on top of each other (several paths deforming motion). This option is using the dependency graph, so editing the Curve will give realtime changes in the Armature. The previous walkcycle, controlled by two curves: http://download.blender.org/demo/test/2.43/0001_0150_deform.avi Blender file: http://download.blender.org/demo/test/2.43/mancandy_actiondeform.blend Action Modifiers can be added in the NLA Properties Panel. Per Modifier you have to indicate the channel and a Curve Object. You can copy modifiers from one strip to another using CTRL+C (only copies to active Object strips). Setting up a correct Curve Path has to be carefully done: - Use SHIFT+A "Curve Path" in top view, or ensure the path is not rotated. - make sure the center point of the Curve Object is at the center of the Armature (or above) - move the first point of the curve to the center point as well. - check if the path starts from this first point, you can change it using (in Curve EditMode) the option Wkey -> "Switch Direction" - Make sure alignment uses the correct axis; if the Armature walks into the negative Y direction, you have to set in Object Buttons, "Anim settings" Panel, the correct Track option.

Also note this: - the Curve Path extends in beginning and ending, that's (for now) the default, and allows to use multiple paths. Make sure paths begin and end horizontal. - Moving the Curve in Object Mode will change the "mapping" (as if the landscape a character walks over moves). Moving the Curve in Edit Mode will change the actual position of the deformation. - Speed (Ipos) on paths is not supported yet, will be done. - The Curve "Stretch" deform option doesn't work. - Modifiers are executed *after* all actions in NLA are evaluated, there's no support yet for blending multiple strips with Modifiers. - This doesn't work yet for time-mapping... This commit is mostly for review by character animators... some details or working methods might change. This feature can also be used for other modifiers, such as noise (Perlin) or the mythical "Oomph" (frequency control) and of course Python. Special thanks to Bassam & Matt for research & design help.

Three new features: 1) Stride Bone For walkcycles, you could already set an NLA strip to cycle over a path based on a preset distance value. This cycling happens based on a linear interpolation, with constant speed. Not all cycles have a constant speed however, like hopping or jumping. To ensure a perfect slipping-less foot contact, you now can set a Bone in an Armature to define the stride. This "Stride Bone" then becomes a sort-of ruler, a conveyor belt, on which the character walks. When using the NLA "Use Path" option, it then tries to keep the Stride Bone entirely motionless on the path, by cancelling out its motion (for the entire Armature). This means that the animation keys for a Stride Bone have to be exactly negative of the desired path. Only, at choice, the X,Y or Z Ipo curve is used for this stride. Examples: http://www.blender.org/bf/0001_0040.avi The top armature shows the actual Action, the bottom armature has been parented to a Path, using the Stride Bone feature. http://www.blender.org/bf/0001_0080.avi Here the Stride Bone has a number of children, creating a ruler to be used as reference while animating. Test .blend: http://www.blender.org/bf/motionblender1.blend Notes: - Note that action keys for Bones work local, based on the Bone's orientation as set in EditMode. Therefore, an Y translation always goes in the Bone's direction. - To be able to get a "solvable" stride, the animation curve has to be inverse evaluated, using a Newton Raphson root solver. That means you can only create stride curves that keep moving forward, and cannot return halfway. - Set the Stride Bone in the Editing Buttons, Bone Panel. You can set change the name or set the axis in the NLA Window, Strip Properties Panel. - Files in this commit will move to the blender.org release section. 2) Armature Ghosting In EditButtons, Armature Panel, you can set an armature to draw ghosts. The number value denotes the amount of frames that have to be drawn extra (for the active action!) around the current frame. Ghosts only evaluate its own Pose, executing it's Actions, Constraints and IK. No external dependencies are re-evaluated for it. 3) NLA/Action time control If you click in the NLA window on the action (linked to Object), it makes sure the Timing as drawn in the Action editor is not corrected for NLA. If you also set the Object to "Action", this timing will be executed on the Object as well (not NLA time). (It's a bit confusing... will make a good doc & maybe review UI!)

Two wonderful new NLA & Armature editing features! - FORWARD CYCLING & MATCHING Up to no now, adding multiple actions in NLA with walkcycles required to animate them standing still, as if walking on a conveyor belt. The stride option then makes the object itself move forward, trying to keep the foot stuck on the floor (with poor results!). This option now allows to make walk cycles moving forward. By indicating a reference Offset Bone, the NLA system will use that bone to detect the correct offset for the Armature Pose to make it seamlessly going forward.

An Action Modifier allows you to use a Curve Path to deform the motion of these controlling bones. This uses the existing Curve Deformation option.

== Bone Groups == I'm committing some work-in-progress code for "bone groups" now, as I there have been are some major bugs caused by the timeoffset stuff (some of my test files were not loading, and other files were showing all sorts of weird problems). Anyway, in this commit, the following things for "bone groups" have been done: * Bone groups are stored per armature (internally, this is per bPose block) * Added controls for editing bone-groups per armature - "add", "remove", "rename". These can be found in the "Links and Materials" panel in PoseMode, beside the settings for PoseLib. * Reorganised buttons for editing selected bones in PoseMode. I've replaced the "dist" and "weight" buttons (they existed in EditMode anyway) with a menu to choose the bone-group and the custom-shape-ob field. In the place of the old custom-shape-ob field, I've restored the "Hide" button. This might break muscle-memory a bit, but there isn't a lot of space to play with there. Some stuff I'd been originally planning to do before committing: * When adding keyframes for bones, an action-group with the same name as the bone's group will be added to the action, and the action-channel will be made a member of that. * New action/bone groups have unique names (renaming/adding new should check if name exists before assigning it) * There's a setting under Bone-Groups stuff which sets which custom-colour set is used to colour that group's bones. Currently, this is non-functional, as the necessary drawing code for armatures is not in place yet.

Big commit with work on Groups & Libraries: -> Any Group Duplicate now can get local timing and local NLA override. This enables to control the entire animation system of the Group. Two methods for this have been implemented. 1) The quick way: just give the duplicator a "Startframe" offset. 2) Advanced: in the NLA Editor you can add ActionStrips to the duplicator to override NLA/action of any Grouped Object. For "Group NLA" to work, an ActionStrip needs to know which Object in a group it controls. On adding a strip, the code checks if an Action was already used by an Object in the Group, and assigns it automatic to that Object. You can also set this in the Nkey "Properties" panel for the strip. Change in NLA: the SHIFT+A "Add strip" command now always adds strips to the active Object. (It used to check where mouse was). This allows to add NLA strips to Objects that didn't have actions/nla yet. Important note: In Blender, duplicates are fully procedural and generated on the fly for each redraw. This means that redraw speed equals to stepping through frames, when using animated Duplicated Groups. -> Recoded entire duplicator system The old method was antique and clumsy, using globals and full temporal copies of Object. The new system is nicer in control, faster, and since it doesn't use temporal object copies anymore, it works better with Derived Mesh and DisplayList and rendering. By centralizing the code for duplicating, more options can be easier added. Features to note: - Duplicates now draw selected/unselected based on its Duplicator setting. - Same goes for the drawtype (wire, solid, selection outline, etc) - Duplicated Groups can be normally selected too Bonus goodie: SHIFT+A (Toolbox) now has entry "Add group" too, with a listing of all groups, allowing to add Group instances immediate. -> Library System - SHIFT+F4 data browse now shows the entire path for linked data - Outliner draws Library Icons to denote linked data - Outliner operation added: "Make Local" for library data. - Outliner now also draws Groups in regular view, allowing to unlink too. -> Fixes - depsgraph missed signal update for bone-parented Objects - on reading file, the entire database was tagged to "recalc" fully, causing unnecessary slowdown on reading. Might have missed stuff... :)
