sb->lcom : Center Of Mass .. might be used to create loc IPO
sb_>lrot : is a matrix[3] esitmates the roatation in world coordinates .. might be used to create rot IPO
sb_>lscale : is a matrix[3] esitmates the scaling in world coordinates .. might be used to create scale IPO
(no python for that yet .. but may be matt has mercy on me )
can be cropped direclty in soft body module by function
static void SB_estimate_transform(Object *ob,float lloc[3],float lrot[3][3],float lscale[3][3])
The targets lloc,lrot,lscale should work to be NULL, just in case you don't need it.
However i'd prefer if they were accessed via properties
which should be calculated automagically if
sb->solverflags & SBSO_ESTIMATEIPO
is set, like they do in draw_sb_motion(..) in drawobject.c
added static void draw_sb_motion(Scene *scene, Object *ob) to drawobject.c
for debuggering (had a hard time with destructive matrix operations )
if it causes any trouble with your build on any OS make sure to comment that away.
softbody.c and DNA should compile fine in any case.
- the clipping test function was using the rv3d->viewmatob where it needed to use the object matrix.
- added a local clipping member to rv3d, the clipping planes in object-space, avoids many matrix multiplications when testing verts or clipping pixels when projection painting.
only implimented min/max precision & step.
at the moment there is no way to edit these other then via python
example of setting UI limits...
>>> C.object['foo'] = 0.5
>>> C.object['_RNA_UI'] = {'foo': {'step': 0.5, 'soft_max': 10.0, 'soft_min': 0.0, 'precision': 2, 'description': 'Some setting'}}
Also fixed typo's: precission -> precision
* Convert all code to use new functions.
* Branch maintainers may want to skip this commit, and run this
conversion script instead, if they use a lot of math functions
in new code:
http://www.pasteall.org/9052/python
a system crash and other issues on ATI/Apple, due to a buggy driver
(similar issues reported for other OpenGL applications). For now, work
around it by not using non-power-of-two textures on this combination.
Deal with this by adding ED_view3d_init_mats_rv3d(ob, r3d) which initialized the region mat's and is used in mesh_foreachScreenVert, mesh_foreachScreenEdge etc.
* Disable use of EditMeshDerivedMesh for VBO drawing in editmode.
This is crashed when using e.g. subsurf in editmode, as the DM
is not an EditMeshDerivedMesh.
The goodies:
* Curves can be used as normal dynamic effectors too with
the new "curve" field shape.
* Group visualization has optional duplication counts for
each object in the specified group.
* Object & group visualizations, which are done without
taking the dupliobject's global position into account
(unless the whole group is used). This is much nicer than
the previous behavior, but I added a "Use Global Location"
option for those who want to use it the old way.
* The active particle system's particles are now drawn a
with theme coloured outline instead of pure white.
* Added object aligned velocity factors (buttons categorized
and re-organized too).
Bug fixes:
* Absorption didn't work as the ui toggle button was forgotten.
* Some other force field ui tweaks.
* Crash after adding children and changing trails count.
* Display types "cross" and "axis" crashed.
* Particles weren't drawn with correct coloring.
* Billboards didn't update properly in viewport to camera
location changes.
* Particle rotation wasn't recreated correctly from point cache.
* Changing particles amount crashed sometimes.
* Some files with child hair crashed on loading.
* Compiler warning fixes.
* Adding boids crashed on frame 1;
* Unified scene wide gravity (currently in scene buttons)
instead of each simulation having it's own gravity.
* Weight parameters for all effectors and an effector group
setting.
* Every effector can use noise.
* Most effectors have "shapes" point, plane, surface, every point.
- "Point" is most like the old effectors and uses the
effector location as the effector point.
- "Plane" uses the closest point on effectors local xy-plane
as the effector point.
- "Surface" uses the closest point on an effector object's
surface as the effector point.
- "Every Point" uses every point in a mesh effector object
as an effector point.
- The falloff is calculated from this point, so for example
with "surface" shape and "use only negative z axis" it's
possible to apply force only "inside" the effector object.
* Spherical effector is now renamed as "force" as it's no longer
just spherical.
* New effector parameter "flow", which makes the effector act as
surrounding air velocity, so the resulting force is
proportional to the velocity difference of the point and "air
velocity". For example a wind field with flow=1.0 results in
proper non-accelerating wind.
* New effector fields "turbulence", which creates nice random
flow paths, and "drag", which slows the points down.
* Much improved vortex field.
* Effectors can now effect particle rotation as well as location.
* Use full, or only positive/negative z-axis to apply force
(note. the z-axis is the surface normal in the case of
effector shape "surface")
* New "force field" submenu in add menu, which adds an empty
with the chosen effector (curve object for corve guides).
* Other dynamics should be quite easy to add to the effector
system too if wanted.
* "Unified" doesn't mean that force fields give the exact same results for
particles, softbody & cloth, since their final effect depends on many external
factors, like for example the surface area of the effected faces.
Code changes
* Subversion bump for correct handling of global gravity.
* Separate ui py file for common dynamics stuff.
* Particle settings updating is flushed with it's id through
DAG_id_flush_update(..).
Known issues
* Curve guides don't yet have all ui buttons in place, but they
should work none the less.
* Hair dynamics don't yet respect force fields.
Other changes
* Particle emission defaults now to frames 1-200 with life of 50
frames to fill the whole default timeline.
* Many particles drawing related crashes fixed.
* Sometimes particles didn't update on first frame properly.
* Hair with object/group visualization didn't work properly.
* Memory leaks with PointCacheID lists (Genscher, remember to
free pidlists after use :).
New stuff
- Bending springs for hair dynamics.
Code cleanup & optimization
- Disabled reactor particles temporarily for cleanup, it's a clumsy system that will be replaced with something better.
- Removed child seams, something better will come here too :)
- Normal particle drawing data is now saved between redraws if the particles don't move between redraws.
* For example rotating the 3d view is now realtime even with 1M particles.
- Many random values for particles now come from a lookup table making things much faster.
- Most accessed small point cache functions are now much faster as macros.
- Lot's of general code cleanup.
- Nothing big should have changed so if something doesn't work like it used to it's probably just a typo somewhere :)
* added new twist method - "Tangent", suggested by Martin.
the nice thing about this is its stable no matter how you rotate the data, rotation is local to each segment.
* added smooth option that smooths the twisting (before applying user twist), to workaround Z-Up and Tangent's ugly curve twisting. Id prefer not to have this however it makes tangent much nicer. Possibly tangent can be improved some other way and this can be removed.
A smooth value of 1.0 will iterate over and smooth the twisting by the resolution value of the spline.
* Minimum-Twist method now corrects for cyclic twist by taking the roll difference between first and last, then increasingly counter rotate each segment over the entire curve. Previously it calculated from both directions and blended them.
details
* BevPoints use quats rather then 3x3 matrix.
* added BevPoint direction "dir" and tangent "tan" used only for 3D curves.
* don't calculate BevPoint->cosa, BevPoint->sina for 3D curves.
* split bevel tilt calculation into functions.
* nurbs curves currently don't generate tangents and wont work with tangent twist method.
* some of the use of quats should be optimized.
* smoothing is not animation safe, the higher the smoothing the higher the likelyhood of flipping.
- Hair dynamics have their own panel in particle settings with the settings from cloth panel that apply to hair.
- Basic internal friction force to quickly emulate self collisions and volume preservation. (Still very early code, but gives some idea of what's possible).
- Softbody simulation is no longer used for hair.
* Old files with sb dynamics should just load the hair without dynamics so new dynamics can be applied.
* Invasion of particles exceptions in sb code is finally over.
- Collisions with other objects are disabled for now and will be worked out in the future.
Other changes/fixes:
- Particle mode editing flag wasn't saved properly.
- Some old files with edited hair didn't load correctly.
- Disabled delete & specials menu in particle mode for non-hair editing.
- Fixed yet one more cloth & softbody pointcache update issue.
- Disconnect/connect hair now uses only the deformed mesh so it works correctly also for subsurfed emitters.
- Hair editing now updates correctly with a moving emitter.
