- Constructive modifiers are enabled by default in sculpt mode.
- There's option to disable all constructive modifiers in the "Options"
panel of toolbox in sculpt mode,
- Use one column in options panel to make strings easier to read
- No modifiers would still be applied on multires
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.
the two files mikktspace.h and mikktspace.c. These are standalone files
which can be redistributed into any other application and regenerate the
same tangent spaces. The implementation is independent of the ordering
of faces and the vertex ordering of faces.
==========================
Removed limitation of armatured-only objects for sculpting -- now all
deformation modifiers are allowed in sculpt mode. Use crazyspace corrections
like from transformation modules was used to support all deformation modifiers.
Internal change: all crazyspace-related functions were noved to crazyspace.c
P.S. Brush could make quite unexpected deformation for meshes which are
deformed in specified way. Got patch for this and discussing with Brecht
if it's really needed or maybe it could be done in better way.
Used a crazyspace approach (like in edit mode), but only modifiers with
deformMatricies are allowed atm (currently shapekeys and armature modifiers only).
All the rest modifiers had an warning message that they aren't applied because
of sculpt mode. Deformation of multires is also unsupported.
With all this restictions users will always see the actual "layer" (or maybe
mesh state would be more correct word) they are sculpting on.
Internal changes:
- All modifiers could have deformMatricies callback (the same as deformMatriciesEM but
for non-edit mode usage)
- Added function to build crazyspace for sculpting (sculpt_get_deform_matrices), but it
could be generalized for usage in other painting modes (particle edit mode, i.e)
Todo:
- Implement crazyspace correction to support all kinds of deformation modifiers
- Maybe deformation of multires isn't so difficult?
- And maybe we could avoid extra bad-level-stub for ED_sculpt_modifiers_changed
without code duplicating?
Support for physics is done by skiping the modifiers that
don't support mapping to original mesh. This mapping is
required to report the hit polygon to the application
by the rayCast() function.
Support for graphics is done by using the same render
function that blender uses for the 3D view. This guantees
equal result.
Limitation: there is still a known bug if all these conditions are met:
- Display list enabled
- Old tex face with a several textures mapped to the same material
- no armature or shape keys
- active modifiers
In this case, only a part of the mesh will be rendered
with the wrong texture. To avoid this bug, use the GLSL
materials or make sure to have 1 material=1 texture in
your old tex face objects.
Rather then have the modifier calculate ORIGINDEX weather its needed or not (incorrect if it wasn't the first modifier on the stack),
create ORIGINDEX layer initially if any of the modifiers use it.
This way hook also works after Mirror and Screw modifiers which have the ORIGINDEX layer copied implicitly with DM_copy_vert_data().
This wasn't possible to check for before because this flag was always enabled so it would be passed to DM_set_only_copy().
Now just add the flag whenever calling DM_set_only_copy().
- omit render code from this warning (cmake only), until render branch is merged.
- moved -Wunused-parameter warning to apply to all C code in blender (not just ./source/blender), (cmake only).
- removed deprecated bitmap arg from IMB_allocImBuf (plugins will need updating).
- mostly tagged UNUSED() since some of these functions look like they may need to have the arguments used later.
This is a more general problem that drawing functions would skip faces when the original index could not be found, screw result for example wasnt visible in editmode too.
Fixed by adding a material set argument to DerivedMesh->drawMappedFaces(), this was already being done in some of the other drawing functions.
When there are 2+ consecutive deform modifiers, the second modifier was getting incorrect normals, this only showed up for the displace modifier since its the only deform modifier that uses vertex normals.
It would have been easy to fix this by always calculating normals on deform modifiers, but slow.
To fix this I added a function to check if a deform modifier needs normals, so the normal calculation function only runs if there are 2 modifiers in a row and the second uses normals.
All sculpting used to disappear before. Save MDISPS if new mesh has got the same faces amount.
NOTE: maybe some other layers should be saved?
- Apply multires modififier if MDISPS was auto-created.
Multires's applyModifier used to return unchanged DM when MDISPS was auto-created.
- Set multires totlvl from MDISPS layer when new multires was added to mesh with existing MDISPS layer.
Implemented a new "super knife". Activate with k. Holding CTRL
will allow extended cutting ala old lines mode. Confirm with enter
and escape. You cannot cancel, btw, you can only confirm (and undo
later if you want). Hopefully I'll support undo within the tool soon.
* Supports cutting edges, into faces, etc. You can pretty much do whatever
you want. Will snap to vertices too.
* Note that if you cut into a face, it must be valid topologically when
you press enter to confirm.
* It's pretty and graphical :)
* You can only cut visible geometry.
* UVs/vcols are a little buggy still
Now, thou shalt all cease and desist all lack of motivation for
testing! No longer shall users put off testing until "it's cooler"!
:P
