* Explode modifier was flagged as "nonconstructive", so the "apply as shape" option was shown. And yes I know exploding things probably isn't usually considered as very constructive, but.. :P
* This is basically a total rewrite of the edge split algorithm. The old one didn't handle tris at all and quads were cut wrong in some cases too with the addition of not handling uv coordinates at all.
* This new algorithm uses a flag system to categorize different splits and the identical but rotated cases in a similar way to how marching cubes indexes different cases.
* It cuts quads and tris and creates proper uv's for the new faces too.
* I also renamed the option to "edge cut" to differentiate if from the edge split modifier and added an option to override a uv-channel in the exploded mesh with particle age as x-coordinate so that the shrapnel can be faded out nicely etc.
most local modifier,GPU,ImBuf and Interface functions are now static.
also fixed an error were the fluid modifier definition and the header didnt have the same number of args.
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?
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.
* Fractional frames support has been changed to use a new var, scene->r.subframe.
This is a 0.0-1.0 float representing a subframe interval, used in generating a final float
frame number to evaluate animation system etc.
* Changed frame_to_float() and some instances of bsystem_time() into a convenience function:
float BKE_curframe(scene) which retrieves the floating point current frame, after subframe
and frame length corrections.
* Removed blur_offs and field_offs globals. These are now stored in render, used to
generate a scene->r.subframe before render database processing.
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.
