simple modifier, almost like a hook, except it can deform with 2 object source -> target, has option to preserve rotation and use different falloff types.
Multires interpolation is considerably better
now, though it still has a problem with occasionally
producing little random tangent spikes. Still, it's
far better then it was.
Also fixed a bug in dissolve faces.
Coded a new modifier, "Precision UV Interpolation",
that triangulates, subdivides, then uses brecht's mean
value interpolation to interpolate face data.
Textures on ngon faces get interpolated a bit nicer, in
other words (though concave cases, e.g. 'N', don't work very well).
Bevel! Implemented bevel (from scratch). Man is
this tool way cooler then I thought it was. Note that
uv/vcol interpolation is working (loop level data) but
vert/edge data (like vgroups) likely still needs
work.
- modifier code was using sizeof() without knowing the sizeof the array when clearing the modifier type array.
- use BLI_snprintf rather then sprintf where the size of the string is known.
- particle drawing code kept a reference to stack float values (not a problem at the moment but would crash if accessed later).
Compositor: Texture node didn't use texture-nodes itself.
Now composites initialize texture nodes correctly.
Also reviewed the fix for crashing texture nodes for displace.
It appears texture nodes also are used for sculpt/paint
brushes, in these cases it can be allowed again. But, don't
do this during rendering for now!
Always pack DispList into one block for deformation modifiers and
create DerivedMesh for all curve objects passed to get_dm. This would
fix problems with modifiers when they're creating dm for
additional information (as it's made in shrinkwrap for normals).
Small additional code cleanup in curve_calc_modifiers_post().
patch by Ben Batt (artificer)
Updated patch for 6 or so modifiers added since the patch was written.
- tested with CMake and SCons
- fixed one error were flags were being added to the fluids type.
- remove BKE_simple_deform.h, simple_deform.c, move functions into MOD_simpledeform.c since there were problems with circular deps.
- moved some fluid and boolean functions used by modifiers too.
