Initial idea of this input was re-designed in a bit more flexible
way using modifiers.
Also since Color Balance (which was the only thing using effect
mask input) was moved to the modifiers, this input field became
rudiment.
It's pretty tricky to write versioning code to prevent possible
data in cases this field was used, but hope it wouldn't be difficult
to switch to modifiers masks.
Having two ways to control color balance now seems a bit overkill
and not clear.
Removed old Color Balance settings from the interface and logic,
added versioning code to convert this settings to modifier.
Unfortunately, since color balance was a pointer, it's not actually
possible to preserve compatibility of old files saved in new
blender and opened back in old blender.
Hopefully there's no regressions :)
After 2.63 there was a bugfix to take object scale into account for the duplicated
objects, but this breaks compatibility on earlier files. Now there is an option to
control if the scale should be used or not.
Scale is used by default on newer files, and not used on older ones.
This implements basic color grading modifiers in sequencer, supporting
color balance, RGB curves and HUE corrections.
Implementation is close to object modifiers, some details are there:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Nazg-gul/SequencerModifiers
Modifiers supports multi-threaded calculation, masks and instant
parameter changes.
Also added cache for pre-processed image buffers for current frame,
so changing sequence properties does not require rendering of original
sequence (like rendering scene, loading file from disk and so)
This implements option which could be used to color balance only
specified area. Currently done by adding Mask input to Adjustment
effect. Affects on color balance and multiply settings.
Supporting masked saturation control is in the list, not supported
in this commit.
Also show value slider in the right of color wheel.
Error flags set on Drivers and F-Curves when they can't be evaluated or flushed
properly are now cleared when loading files, allowing drivers to be re-evaluated
when a file is reloaded. This means that if a driver couldn't be used in the
previous session due to the set of extension modules active at the time (and was
thus disabled), reloading the file with the necessary extensions loaded means
that the driver can work out of the box without manually re-enabling.
Issue was caused by performing conversion from FTFaces to materials from
the end of lib_link_mesh, where tesselated faces were cleared already.
This conversion can't be switched to BMesh structures because in future
MTexPolys could be changed in a way, that versioning stuff wouldn't work
any more. Another issue is that making such a conversion per-mesh would
lead to quite a code spagetti, which is difficult to follow.
Solved by splitting per-mesh cycle in lib_link_mesh, so now it consists
of three steps:
- Do linking stuff such as custom data layers, materials. Perform a
Conversion stuff like tessface -> polys.
- Convert all MTFaces to materials. This conversion handles all meshes
and creates needed materials.
- Free tessfaces, mark mesh as linked.
Such a separation shouldn't noticeably affect on speed of linking.
- Fixed issues with calculating matte with balance != 0.5
It used to be used concave combination of minimal and maximal
channel values which could be inpredictable.
Use concave combination of two non-major channels sorted
by their index, so such combination would always use the same
coefficients for particular non-major channels.
- Added despill balance slider which defines balance between
non-major channels used for calculating average of two
colors. Difference between average value and pixel value of
major screen channel defines amount of despill. Balance of
0.5 gives the same behavior as it was before this slider
was added.

(From personal stash of bugs - since early 2.5 versions)
F-Curve colors get applied only on Graph Editor "refresh()". In some cases, undo
was reverting back to a state where the colors had not yet been set. In these
cases, there would be no refresh() after that undo (until expanding a channel or
some other similar action), resulting in "black F-Curves" appearing. So, now we
force such an update after undo to ensure that the curves never display black.
(Noticed while investigating another bug for Mango related to
CLIP_OT_constraint_to_fcurve not sending notifiers required when new F-Curves
are added)
Issue was caused by linking to grease pencil from direct_link* function
which lead to NULL GP data because it's being read a way later.
Link to GP data in lib_link* instead.
- Re-arrange functions in headers and implementation file to make them
more grouped by entity they're operating with. Also order of functions
in implementation file should match order of functions in header for
easier navigation.
- Rename some functions to match conventions of naming public functions.
- Some code de-duplication, still some room for improvements tho.
- Split main 2D tracking functions into smaller steps to make it more clear.
Accidentally OpenMP was disabled in some of previous commits, re-enable it.
Slightly hacky fix to get updates working for Action Editor header when there
are changes of the active action (via undo and/or deleting all keyframes at
once). Since the action referenced by the editor only gets updated when anim
channel filtering (e.g. as a result of the channel syncing operation) is
invoked. Added comments noting where these updates actually occur
===========================================
Major list of changes done in tomato branch:
- Add a planar tracking implementation to libmv
This adds a new planar tracking implementation to libmv. The
tracker is based on Ceres[1], the new nonlinear minimizer that
myself and Sameer released from Google as open source. Since
the motion model is more involved, the interface is
different than the RegionTracker interface used previously
in Blender.
The start of a C API in libmv-capi.{cpp,h} is also included.
- Migrate from pat_{min,max} for markers to 4 corners representation
Convert markers in the movie clip editor / 2D tracker from using
pat_min and pat_max notation to using the a more general, 4-corner
representation.
There is still considerable porting work to do; in particular
sliding from preview widget does not work correct for rotated
markers.
All other areas should be ported to new representation:
* Added support of sliding individual corners. LMB slide + Ctrl
would scale the whole pattern
* S would scale the whole marker, S-S would scale pattern only
* Added support of marker's rotation which is currently rotates
only patterns around their centers or all markers around median,
Rotation or other non-translation/scaling transformation of search
area doesn't make sense.
* Track Preview widget would display transformed pattern which
libmv actually operates with.
- "Efficient Second-order Minimization" for the planar tracker
This implements the "Efficient Second-order Minimization"
scheme, as supported by the existing translation tracker.
This increases the amount of per-iteration work, but
decreases the number of iterations required to converge and
also increases the size of the basin of attraction for the
optimization.
- Remove the use of the legacy RegionTracker API from Blender,
and replaces it with the new TrackRegion API. This also
adds several features to the planar tracker in libmv:
* Do a brute-force initialization of tracking similar to "Hybrid"
mode in the stable release, but using all floats. This is slower
but more accurate. It is still necessary to evaluate if the
performance loss is worth it. In particular, this change is
necessary to support high bit depth imagery.
* Add support for masks over the search window. This is a step
towards supporting user-defined tracker masks. The tracker masks
will make it easy for users to make a mask for e.g. a ball.
Not exposed into interface yet/
* Add Pearson product moment correlation coefficient checking (aka
"Correlation" in the UI. This causes tracking failure if the
tracked patch is not linearly related to the template.
* Add support for warping a few points in addition to the supplied
points. This is useful because the tracking code deliberately
does not expose the underlying warp representation. Instead,
warps are specified in an aparametric way via the correspondences.
- Replace the old style tracker configuration panel with the
new planar tracking panel. From a users perspective, this means:
* The old "tracking algorithm" picker is gone. There is only 1
algorithm now. We may revisit this later, but I would much
prefer to have only 1 algorithm. So far no optimization work
has been done so the speed is not there yet.
* There is now a dropdown to select the motion model. Choices:
* Translation
* Translation, rotation
* Translation, scale
* Translation, rotation, scale
* Affine
* Perspective
* The old "Hybrid" mode is gone; instead there is a toggle to
enable or disable translation-only tracker initialization. This
is the equivalent of the hyrbid mode before, but rewritten to work
with the new planar tracking modes.
* The pyramid levels setting is gone. At a future date, the planar
tracker will decide to use pyramids or not automatically. The
pyramid setting was ultimately a mistake; with the brute force
initialization it is unnecessary.
- Add light-normalized tracking
Added the ability to normalize patterns by their average value while
tracking, to make them invariant to global illumination changes.
