- previous commit was so similar to the patch Shinsuke wrote, better to add him as contributor, this commit will add to generated credits.
- this commit has no functional changes.
Skin modifier documentation:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Nicholasbishop/SkinModifier
Implementation based in part off the paper "B-Mesh: A Fast Modeling
System for Base Meshes of 3D Articulated Shapes" (Zhongping Ji,
Ligang Liu, Yigang Wang)
Note that to avoid confusion with Blender's BMesh data structure,
this tool is renamed as the Skin modifier.
The B-Mesh paper is current available here:
http://www.math.zju.edu.cn/ligangliu/CAGD/Projects/BMesh/
The main missing features in this code compared to the paper are:
* No mesh evolution. The paper suggests iteratively subsurfing the
skin output and adapting the output to better conform with the
spheres of influence surrounding each vertex.
* No mesh fairing. The paper suggests re-aligning output edges to
follow principal mesh curvatures.
* No auxiliary balls. These would serve to influence mesh
evolution, which as noted above is not implemented.
The code also adds some features not present in the paper:
* Loops in the input edge graph.
* Concave surfaces around branch nodes. The paper does not discuss
how to handle non-convex regions; this code adds a number of
cleanup operations to handle many (though not all) of these
cases.
The remesh modifier doesn't currently get any data from original
faces, so even if the input mesh was entirely smooth none of the
output faces would be. Solved by adding a new
dna-flag/rna-bool/UI-checkbox to smooth shade the output.
Requested by Daniel Salazar.
Added four new functions as shortcuts to creating GHashes that use the
standard ptr/str/int/pair hash and compare functions.
GHash *BLI_ghash_ptr_new(const char *info);
GHash *BLI_ghash_str_new(const char *info);
GHash *BLI_ghash_int_new(const char *info);
GHash *BLI_ghash_pair_new(const char *info);
Replaced almost all occurrences of BLI_ghash_new() with one of the
above functions.
- Triangulate Cloth Mesh for collisions
- Speed up collisions
- Remove EL Topo code
- Prepare code to incooperate El Topo self collisions (TODO next commits)
TODO:
----------
- Triangulation: Is custom data/uv preserved correctly?
- Use MPoly not tessface?
* Add new CCG function ccgSubSurf_setAllocMask(). Similar to to
ccgSubSurf_setCalcVertexNormals(), it sets whether the CCG elements
have a mask layer and what that layer's offset is. Unlike normals
however, it doesn't change any behavior during CCG calculation; it's
there only to give CCGKey information on the mask.
* Add a new flag to _getSubSurf(), CCG_ALLOC_MASK. If set, space for
an extra layer is allocated, but the number of CCG layers is not set
to include it. This is done because GridPaintMasks are absolute,
rather than being relative to the subdivided output (as MDisp
displacements are), so we skip subdividing paint masks here.
* Add a new flag to subsurf_make_derived_from_derived(),
SUBSURF_ALLOC_PAINT_MASK. This controls whether CCG_ALLOC_MASK is
set for _getSubSurf(). Related, masks are never loaded in during
ss_sync_from_derivedmesh(). After subdivision is finished, if the
alloc mask flag is set, the number of CCG layers is increase to 4
with ccgSubSurf_setNumLayers().
* Add a new flag to multires_make_from_derived(),
MULTIRES_ALLOC_PAINT_MASK. Not all multires functions need paint
mask data (e.g. multiresModifier_base_apply.) This flag is always
set in MOD_multires.c so that subdividing a mesh with a mask updates
properly even when not in sculpt mode.
* Update multiresModifier_disp_run() to apply, calculate, and add mask
elements. It's almost the same as the existing operations with xyz
coordinates, but treats masks as absolute rather than displacements
relative to subdivided values.
* Update multires_customdata_delete to free CD_GRID_PAINT_MASK in
addition to CD_MDISPS.
* Update multires_del_higher() to call the new function
multires_grid_paint_mask_downsample(), which allocates a
lower-resolution paint mask grid and copies values over from the
high-resolution grid.
Changed name to multires_make_derived_from_derived() and parameter
order to be more similar to subsurf_make_derived_from_derived().
Added MultiresFlags enum with flag values to replace the local_mmd and
useRenderParams parameters.

The 'use_panorama' option is now part of a new Camera type: 'Panorama'.
Created two other panorama cameras:
- Equisolid: most of lens in the market simulate this lens - e.g. Nikon, Canon, ...)
this works as a real lens up to an extent. The final result takes the
sensor dimensions into account also.
.:. to simulate a Nikon DX2S with a 10.5mm lens do:
sensor: 23.7 x 15.7
fisheye lens: 10.5
fisheye fov: 180
render dimensions: 4288 x 2848
- Equidistant: this is not a real lens model. Although the old equidistant lens simulate
this lens. The result is always as a circular fisheye that takes the whole sensor
(in other words, it doesn't take the sensor into consideration).
This is perfect for fulldomes ;)
For the UI we have 10 to 360 as soft values and 10 to 3600 as hard values (because we can).

Note, this is not a real simulation of the light path through the lens.
The ideal solution would be this:

Thanks Brecht for the fix, suggestions and code review.
Kudos for the dome community for keeping me stimulated on the topic since 2009 ;)
Patch partly implemented during lab time at VisGraf, IMPA - Rio de Janeiro.
