* Fractional frames support has been changed to use a new var, scene->r.subframe.
This is a 0.0-1.0 float representing a subframe interval, used in generating a final float
frame number to evaluate animation system etc.
* Changed frame_to_float() and some instances of bsystem_time() into a convenience function:
float BKE_curframe(scene) which retrieves the floating point current frame, after subframe
and frame length corrections.
* Removed blur_offs and field_offs globals. These are now stored in render, used to
generate a scene->r.subframe before render database processing.
What was happening; if
the old code (2.49) was changing the status from 0 to 1 inside the interface code. e.g. if (!ob->status) ob->status = 1;
Initializing it properly (in blenkernel) and making sure the new status is ever 0 (in rna_object.c) should fix it.
And yes, the log is bigger than the patch !
Reorder callning of add_keyblock and do_ob_key in insert_*key.
do_ob_key shouldn't be called for object with uninitialized key blocks.
NOTE: this commit not fixing problems with slurph
- effector list wasnt NULL'd on copying a particle system
- copying an object would initialize the cloth modifier, then copy it, witout freeing its effector weights created in cloth_init().
eg. character.blend -> anim.blend -> comp.blend
... Would link the character.blend directly into comp.blend because on driver ID's.
In this case id_lib_extern doenst need to be called because the object its linked from is a library.
* The test is now only done when some object that uses cache has actually changed.
* The added scene->physics_settings->quick_cache_step is only an internal counter, not a user changeable value.
dupliverts. The flag mode & OB_MODE_EDIT only indicates that
this object is being edited by the user, not if the mesh is
in editmode or not, it should check for the existence of
me->edit_mesh. Also corrected two other places for this.
This commit removes the Old Track method (used to be found under Object -> Animation -> Track), with all existing instances of this being converted to Track To Constraints. In fact, while performing this removal, I found that this was supposed to have happened in version 2.27 already, but for some reason the options were left in, and this function managed to survive for a further decade.
I've left the tracking axes around still, since it seems some curve tools still use that. However, that usage should probably get faded out in future too?
Misc notes:
* Fixed compiling error with constaints from harkyman's Maintain Volume patch.
* Subversion of 2.52 now bumped up to .2
Note that users should not be doing this anyway (and to some degree, I wish that they have to learn this the hard way - i.e. a crash as was before) since it is always bound to cause troubles of various sorts.
Having said this, the old tracking code was previously crashing if this sort of setup was created since a stack overflow would happen while bouncing between each object being recursively recalculated. I've fixed this by commenting out that recursive recalculation (solving the cyclic problems for n >= 2, while n=1 should still be fine without this pre-depsgraph hack), and also removing such cyclic dependencies in the n=2 case.
(PS: Perhaps this is just a good opportunity to just remove this old feature instead ;)
This commit restores fluid sim baking functionality in 2.5, it's been on the todo for
a while, and was previously almost completely non-functional. The old
code was quite complicated and specific to the 2.4 animation system, so I've
pretty much rewritten most of it.
This includes:
* Animated variables work again - just key them in the UI. Non-animateable values
should be already set non-animateable in RNA, hopefully I got them all.
Available are: Domain Gravity / Domain Viscosity / Object loc/rot/scale /
Object initial velocity / Deforming meshes / Fluid control Attract strength /
Fluid control Attract radius / Fluid control Velocity strength /
Fluid control Velocity radius / Object Active status (checkbox next to fluid type)
The Domain time scale is still not yet implemented.
* Fluid sim now use global scene units data by default - when enabled, the
scene's global gravity value is used and when units are set (metric/imperial)
the simulation real world size is taken from the object's actual measurements.
* The baking process is now done in the background, using the nifty threaded
Jobs system. It's non-blocking and your domain object will show the simulated
fluid as it becomes available for that frame.
A nice extra thing for the future would be to improve the visualisation of the
object's state while baking, and also the jobs system/ui could do with some
touchups - currently it has to share a bit from the 'render' job, and appears as
'Render' in the header. Progress bars for jobs in the header would be great too.
- use render mesh settings rather then view settings.
- fixed bug with brush size being overwritten and allowing non mesh objects to be projected onto.
- made the paint loop less messy & minor cleanup
Used approach with creating DerivedMesh for curves whet they've got such modifiers.
Available modifiers are: array, edge split, mirror, solidify, subsurf.
from reading all places dynamic hair is used I think these changes are correct (cloth seems to share pointcache with the psys) but its not obvious.
jahka: please check this is ok.
problem is that where_is_object is being called from multiple threads
but is not thread-safe, added a note about this problem, this commit
only solves the crash. Also remove the pushdata/popdata mechanism
that was being used here, using this kind of system is bound to give
problems with threading.
transforming, due to the evaluation of the object transform without
constraints, and the driver not finding the property.
Constraints are now disabled in a way that should avoid this problem
Highlights:
* Support for Multi-Target Variables
This was the main reason for this recode. Previously, variables could only be used to give some RNA property used as an input source to the driver a name. However, this meant that effects such as Rotational Difference couldn't be used in conjunction with other effects and/or settings to achieve the powerful results. Now, a variable can take several input targets, perform some interesting operations on them, and spit out a representative value based on that.
* New Variable Types
With the introduction of multi-target variables, there are now 3 types of variable that can be used: single property (i.e. the only type previously), Rotational Difference (angle between two bones), and Distance (distance between two objects or bones).
* New Driver Types
In addition to the existing 'Average', 'Sum', and 'Expression' types, there is now the additional options of 'Minimum' and 'Maximum'. These take the smallest/largest value that one of the variables evaluates to.
* Fix for Driver F-Curve colouring bug
Newly added drivers did not get automatically coloured in the Graph Editor properly. Was caused by inappropriate notifiers being used.
Notes:
* This commit breaks existing 2.5 files with drivers (in other words, they are lost forever).
* Rigify has been corrected to work with the new system. The PyAPI for accessing targets used for the variables could still be made nicer (using subclassing to directly access?), but that is left for later.
* Version patching for 2.49 files still needs to be put back in place.
This commit sets up some of the groundwork necessary to extend the animation visualisation capabilities, previously only available for bones in PoseMode, to Objects as well. Also, some of the other goals of this refactor is to make future visualisation goodies (i.e. editable paths) more feasible...
(There's really nothing to see here yet. The following log notes are really just for my own reference to keep track of things.)
Currently, the following things have been done:
* New datastructures + settings have been tidied up, ready for usage
* Added these new types into the Object and PoseBone code as necessary, with freeing/adding/copying accounted for
* File IO code for the new data, including version patching to convert the old system to the new one.
* Set up the drawing system for motionpaths based on the old armature path drawing code. Armatures still draw using the old system, since the two systems use different storage systems.
* Started setting up the motionpath 'baking' code, but the core of this still needs to be coded...
Next Steps (after some semi-urgent Durian Driver changes):
* Port the ghosting/onionskinning code over too
* Finish motionpath baking code
* RNA wrapping for the new types
* Hooking up all the new code into the operators, etc.
