Cleanup in transform.c: removed uneeded includes and removed REPEAT experiment.
Split off manipulator init function, no need to resort on hacks to setup stuff before starting transform anymore.
Fix0r3d single axis projection for constraints. It deals with perspective correctly now (as much as planar constraints).
Important notes:
- Full compatibility with old text objects not fully restored
(word spacing will be 0.0, need to set it manually to 1.0), will
either need version upgrade to 238 or a hack. Will check.
- lorem.c (about to be committed) contains BF copyright notice, but as
BF did not exist a few hundred years ago, probably best to remove it :)
- If you notice any cross-platform issues (especially beloved windows),
please report
- A few tiny warnings left, I will fix those issues still.
The rest has been said already - so have fun testing. And please do!
=== Reminder:
=== Documentation at http://blender.instinctive.de/docs/textobject.txt ===
- #2646 reported by Campbell: Python/Fileselector (moving from fileselector called by script to another space caused script to hang around open but not accessible)
http://projects.blender.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=125&aid=2646&group_id=9
- #2676 reported by Wim Van Hoydonck: 2.37 python scripts gui: event 8 ignored (thanks Ton for discussing / pointing what to do, Ken Hughes for also working on a fix)
http://projects.blender.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=125&aid=2676&group_id=9
- gui-less scripts with calls to progress bar inside fileselector callbacks didn't return to the previous space on exit (staying on Scripts win), requiring an event to do so (mouse movement, for example). Quick fix for now, will rework a little after 2.37a for a better alternative, not needing to move to the Scripts win at all.
- added syntax colors access to Window.Theme module.
Scripts:
- updates by Jean-Michel Soler: svg2obj (svg paths import), tex2uvbaker, fixfromarmature;
- updates by Campbell Barton: obj import / export, console;
- tiny: converted vrml97 export to unix line endings;
- updates in ac3d exporter, help browser, save theme.
Thanks all mentioned above.
alone with the following flags :
-Wall -Wno-char-subscripts -Wno-missing-braces.
the only one still worrying me is in rand.c line 57 :
rand.c:57: integer constant is too large for "long" type
but i have no clue about how correct cross-compiler and 32/64 bits friendly
see also my mail to commiter list for signed/unsigned issues
of course...)
Not quite complete, but due to lack of time as good as it will get for now.
From the previous commit, forgot to report that basic fog is supported as well. Though because I had not much time to complete the code, it is sort of unfinished, and you will have
to tweak parameters specifically for yafray again. It uses only the world horizon color, and
only uses the Blender mist distance setting.
Textures now support checker clip mode.
Fixed possibly all 'duplilist non-empty' errors, though it could hide the real cause of the
error.
AA is no longer enabled automatically for certain GI quality settings, I thought it best to
leave it to the user to decide.
SkyDome GI mode now supports cache as well. There is a new option in the GI quality menu 'Use
Blender AO settings', which will as it says use the most important AO settings for the
skydome parameters. The only AO parameters used are 'Samples', 'Dist' and the random sampling
switch, which unlike in Blender you might want to use more often, since the QMC sampling used
in yafray can result in visible patterns or a dithering type look. 'Random' is not completely
random in yafray however, it is actually jittered (stratified) sampling.
Using an occlusion cache, doesn't necessarily mean that you will always get much shorter
render times. As with 'full' GI and cache, one problem is bumpmaps, when using bump (or
normal) maps, the sampling will be much more dense, using lots more rendertime.
As a temporary fix there is a button 'NoBump', but this also has the side effect that in
areas of total indirect light (or when used with SkyDome cache) no bumpmapping will be
visible. It is therefor best used with some direct light as well.
For SkyDome with cache, and strong bumpmapping it might actually not make much difference,
since for low distance values you can usually get away with low sample values as well.
The entire material panel is now replaced by another panel to show only the parameters
important to yafray and add some new ones as well.
Since lots of users (especially yafray beginners) have had problems getting certain material
aspects right, there is now a material preset menu available to hopefully solve some of the
most common "How do I do this? It doesn't work!" questions seen in various forums.
Choosing an option from this menu will set the required parameters to default
values for yafray, and you can work your way from there to tweak it something you want.
Most buttons are copies of the same Blender parameters, with some variations. Just like
Blender 'Ray Mirror' enables reflection, 'Ray Transp' enables refraction. You can use
'ZTransp' for materials that have texture maps with alpha channels.
Again, same as Blender 'rayMir' sets the amount of reflection. Next button 'frsOfs' however
controls fresnel offset, meaning that when this is set to 1, you will get no fresnel effect
and when set to 5, reflection is totally determined by fresnel, which is important for
realistic glass/metals/etc.
IOR is self-explanatory (...), same as Blender.
When you have 'Ray Transp' enabled, the blender 'filter' button will appear next to the IOR
button. This has the same effect as in Blender.
Below that there are some new parameters, 'Ext.Color' sets the extinction color for
transparent materials. Usually, in real transparent materials, light loses some of it's
energy the further it has to travel through the object. This effect can be simulated with
this parameter. Thing to look out for is that it specifies the color which will be
REMOVED after traveling through the object. What this means is that say you have a clear
white glass sphere, and set the extinction color to a strong blue, the result will be a
very yellow object when rendered.
Next to the color sliders, there is another set of three parameters, with which you can
enable color dispersion for transparent objects. 'Pwr' sets the amount of dispersion,
the higher, the more dispersion (the more colorful the result).
(For real world materials, this number can be found or derived from data in various glass catalogues)
The 'Samples' button below that sets the number of samples used, minimum values are around
7-10, and for very strong dispersion you might need a lot more.
As usual, this also means an increase in render time of course, but to simulate
realistic materials, you shouldn't really need more than 25 samples.
In addition to that, when using low sample numbers, but to still get a good spread of colors,
you can enable the jitter button, but this will also add noise.
Point/soft(point with shadowbuffer) or sphere lights (light with radius), have a new option
to add a simple glow effect, so that lights can be made visible.
NOTE: just like spotlight halo's, glow is not visible against the background, there must be
another object behind it. Simplest solution is to use a large black shadeless plane behind
your scene.
The glow intensity can be set with the 'GlowInt' parameter (use very low values around 0.01
even lower), and you can choose from two different types with the 'GlowType' button (which
don't look much different, but type 1 is probably better, type 0 faster).
And that's it, with apologies for the still missing features and
full support in general, but this will have to do for now.
feature with a header button.
Works like audio playback on ALT+A, meaning you have to add the audio
strips in Sequencer. The 'only sync' option for ALT+A doesn't work here.
Also: fixed crash on ESC in audio playback in sequencer.
MEMSET was clearing the TransInfo struct after the constraint setup call has been made.
Temporary fix until the manipulator transform init is split off, like normal transform.
Patch provided by Ricki Myers. Works quite obvious, see Theme editor too!
Notes about the provided code;
- The default syntax colors were screaming! Toned it down to match the
default dark on lightgrey background better.
- Added: initializing colors in saved themes (usiblender.c)
- The implementation of the button for this option was quite clumsy...
Blender UI options services this a lot easier.
(Same fixed for 'line numbers' option)
- Bracket matching now uses as color a mix of backdrop and the
selected-text color. Noticed my texteditor did it too...
-> I really miss comments in code describing a little bit the thought
process behind the code. Like a short introduction on this feature
in the top of the drawtext.c, little remarks on new functions.
ALso in patch tracker or the mailinglist no docs was mentioned?
-> drawtext.c now gets messy quickly... lack of overview, structure,
and confusing mix of personal coding styles.
For not-active supported code dangerous...
Using the Play button in timeline, now uses an event-driven system to
update the animation system and signal windows to redraw. Meaning the
full UI remains responsive!
Check the new Pulldown "Playback" to set which windows you like to see
updated. Same settings is used for LMB 'dragging' frames in Timeline.
Implementation notes;
- the Icon for 'Pause' (or stop) has to be made yet, I commit this from
my laptop... all was coded during a 2 x 5 hour train ride to germany
- the anim playback system (ALT+A too) now uses correct "frames per
second" as maximum speed. Buttons can be found in 3 places in the UI,
also added it as pulldown item
- The system works with 'screen handlers', which has been coded with
using Python (networked) events or verse in mind too. A doc on that
will follow.
- the buttons code has been made 'resistant' to animated UIs too,
preventing flashing of hilites.
- All subloops (like transform) stop playback, with exception of MMB
view manipulations.
As extra; found tweak to make Textured AA fonts draw without distortion.
Looks perfect here on laptop now (like Pixmap fonts) and is 20x faster.
- Splited off the event treatment into a fonction of its own
- Splited off the initialisation phase into a function of its own (will have to do it for the manipulator function too)
Calling transform now works like this:
initTransform(mode, context)
- possible post init calls, constraints mostly
Transform()
- eventually, the postTransform function, so that Transform is just a simple big loop which could in the end just be tied in the blender event system instead.
- Added a state variable in TransInfo to replace the ret_val local variable. Possible values are: TRANS_RUNNING, TRANS_CANCEL, TRANS_CONFIRM
- Tied MMB and the hotkey select for constraint together, so selecting an axis with MMB and pressing the axis key after that goes to local mode on that axis. Much less confusing.
Martin; I've added calls like:
BIF_TransformSetUndo("Add Duplicate");
In advance of calling transform itself, to indicate that this is the
string name to be used for Undo, and also has to be done on ESC.
To make that possible I had to add a memset() to zero the global struct
TransInfo. Nicely done with if(Trans.mode==TRANS_INIT)
Not sure how this relates to setting constraints in advance... I always
found it tricky to work a non-initalized global struct. :)
- TimeLine: Marker grabbing works now. Use GKEY or select+drag, as usual
Holding CTRL will step with 1 second (corrected for ntsc dudes yes!)
Also added this in header pulldown
- Time values and Time grid draw fixed for Seconds display. It used to
draw steps of 2/5/10/20/50/100 etc. frames. Now does steps in seconds.
Again corrected for "Frames/Sec" value.
- "Frames/Sec" button redraws TimeLine, Secquencer, etc
- Bug fixed in editing Theme for TimeLine (was editing Image Select...)
- Added Grid color to Theme choices for Ipo, TimeLine, Sequencer, NLA,
Action, Sound. Was missing!
Works nice quick to rotate a group of Objects around a defined center,
without hassle with the 3d cursor. Especially for the 3D Manipulator.
In EditMode/PoseMode this option falls back to "Centroid", as does the
"Individual centers" option already.
Hope Martin likes this simple hack. :)
Also; added flag in constraint to denote whether its local or not. That
way its possible to:
- prevent local scale and rotate on multiple objects to change own position
- draw constraint lines cleaner
- Added Ckey for 'center view around current frame'.
- Completed View pulldown menu with remainder of options.
- prevented negative scaled views when start > end frame
Main change is that it's an own Space type now, not part of the Audio
window... the audio window should restrict to own options. This way
functionality is nicely separated.
Since it's the first time I added a new space (since long!) I've made an
extensive tutorial as well. You can find that here:
http://www.blender3d.org/cms/Adding_new_Space_Window.557.0.html
Notes for using timewindow;
- Add time markers with MKey
- CTRL+M gives option to name Marker
- Markers cannot be moved yet...
- Pageup-Pagedown keys moves current frame to next-prev Marker
- Xkey removes Markers
- If an object has Ipos or an Action, it draws key lines
- CTRL+Pageup-Pagedown moves current frame to next-prev Key
- Press S or E to set start/end frame for playback
Notes about the implementation in Tuhopuu:
- Add new Marker now selects new, deselects others
- Selecting Marker didn't work like elsewhere in Blender, on click it
should deselect all, except the indicated Marker. Not when holding SHIFT
of course
- Not exported functions are static now
- Removed unused defines (MARKER_NONE NEXT_AVAIL)
- Drawing order was confusing, doing too many matrix calls
- Removed not needed scrollbar, added new function to draw time values.
(Has advantage the MMB scroll works not confusing on a scrollbar)
- Added proper support for 'frame mapping'
- The string button (name Marker) had a bug (checked str[64] while str
was only 64 long)
- String button itself didn't allow "OK on enter"
- Made frame buttons in header larger, the arrows overlapped
- Removed support for negative frame values, that won't work so simple!
because Martin recoded the Mirror().
- removed old globals like 'tottrans' or 'centre' or 'centroid' as used
by old transform
- removed a lot of code from editobject.c
- moved all transform related code to transform_conversions.c
(Note for Martin; sorry that's a mess... it now has all the weird
functions for finding posemode dependencies... thats for the depgraph
phase to remove)
Updated the menus to work with that too.
Of course, this doesn't work in object mode right now, because resize I haven't fixed negative resize (yet).
Again, this would have easily benefited of a stand alone init and post Transform functions. When I have time... :|
Proportional edit:
- Proportional mode added to header as button/menu. Including new option
to have only connected geometry influenced.
- Added icons for proportional & proportional modes
- Make proportional edit data part of Scene, so all gets saved.
The Global flag G_PROPORTIONAL was removed
- Made sure #defines get used properly, also tweaked order for proportional
so it starts with regular 'smooth' by default.
- Use ALT+O in editmode to switch to new proportional 'connected' mode
Other UI stuff:
- in EditMode, the layer buttons get hidden... the amount of icons in
3d header grows to fast. :)
- made less ugly icons for the Manipulators. Still can be better.
- Added alpha-filter for pre-processing Icon-image, giving nicer display
of icon-antialising on dark or bright backdrops
- disabled Manipulators when in editmode, and current layers don't show
the edited data.
- Added the value used to define Normal size (editmode draw) in Scene too,
so it gets saved.
Works as follows;
- press the 'show bake settings' button (no space left... :)
- define start/end frame for bake, and an interval step.
The baked result interpolates nicely (Bspline, 4 keys) so in general a
step size of 2 or 3 still gives OK results.
- Press "BAKE". This will do a full animation + playback. Press ESC if it
you don't want it.
Once Baked, the BAKE button becomes a FREE BAKE. As reminder the softbody
buttons get blocked with error() menu.
This saves OK in a file. Renders any frame, including fields and moblur.
You can also set a "Timeoffs" for the softbody. And yes, this should be
in the NLA once... :)
NOTE! With this commit, files saved with the old (first commit) version by
Jens Ole won't read the settings back... he stored all sofbody variables in
Object, which was moved to a new struct when I did my first commit on SB
(over a month ago)
Also note that I moved particle deflecting & softbody to a new include.
Push/Pull had a problem with constraints enabling/disabling. Fixed
Restablished infinite line for constraint draw (when not using manipulator) as discussed in meeting.
- added in new transform the (not so useful but yah) old feature that
does scrollwheel zoom during transform
- had to change transform call arguments for uv-window/sequence/oops to
match new transform for mouse callback
TODO (for martin?)
- pulldown menu support to call with local axes compliant as for pressing
it with hotkey
- mirrormenu() still uses old transform stuff...
Ipo.delCurve( curve_name ) deletes named curve from IPO.
Ipocurve.delBezier( int ) deletes point at index from Ipocurve.
Contributed by Ken Hughes (khughes). Thanks!
MMB click with no constraint selects a constraint right away (the axis selector doesn't flash on screen)
MMB click with a constraint removes the constraint
MMB click-drag in both case (with and without a constraint) uses the axis selector.
stopConstraint didn't remove the CON_SELECT flag, so cancelling transform while selecting a constraint and then reentering transform was funny. Fixed
submitted by Alexander, changes/improvements are:
- Moved to new Panel in Scene buttons "Post Effects". Together with other
postprocessing options, such as Edge render. It is also not called DoF,
this because that's a bit pretending too much then. It's a zblur still!
- Made it render Alpha as well
- Made it use and deliver float buffers
- Huge cleanup of zblur.c code, was very messy. It was alling things in render
code without need even (win matrices, transform faces, etc)
- Fixed errors in using Z values (zbuffer is signed int)
- Removed very weird gamma corrections for front/back half
- Tweaked gaussian table, allow variable 'Sigma' to be set for gauss curve
- Didn't copy 'auto focus' yet. Use of this is very limited, and gives
false expectations, nor works for rendering anims with deamons well.
Main issue remains: it's not a very advanced feature... I still doubt
very much if this deserves to be released. Spent 2 days on trying to get
the key issues solved, with not much results.
- gauss filter code has weird side effects on large blur size
- having unsharp (blurred) in front also blurs what's around in back.
only blurred in back with sharp in front works a little bit
- severe aliasing errors... also due the code splitting in 2 halves
- doesnt work with unified yet
- won't work for halos, spot halos or transparant faces
Anyhoo... It was promised to be committed, so now artists can play with it.
Who knows it's useful after all, or some fixes can be implemented. :)
- Moved Weld/Align out of transform code, now it's a menu.
- Removed confirmation popups for LSCM unwrapping in the uv editor, didn't
make sense anymore now we have undo.
- Extended select linked, to work more like it does in edit mode:
- L: select linked uvs/faces under the mouse
- Shift+L: select/deselect linked uvs/faces under the mouse
(like shift+click for selecting single uvs/faces)
- Ctrl+L: how L worked before
- More accurate uv selection: when selecting one uv from a group of uvs that
are in the same position, it now selects the uv belonging to the face the
mouse is over, instead of a random uv.
- 'View Selected' (numpad .-key) for both faceselect mode and the uv editor.
further loss of Hos' hair during tuhopuu merges.
This doesn't change any user functionality. 'Mode' can be
GL_LINE_LOOP for a circle outline (as it currently is), GL_POLYGON
for a filled circle, or whatever gl mode you like.
- Added browsing for vertex group for "Goal" in SoftBody buttons.
- Means the default name "SOFTGOAL" isn't needed anymore
- temporally, on file read, the "SOFTGOAL" vertex group is set, if exists
- removing vertex group possible too
- changed softbody.c code to use this
Split the conversion fonctions and sorting functions from transform.c into transform_conversions.c
Update MSVC 6.0 projectiles and SConscript accordingly.
Editview still included transform.h, replaced that for BIF_transform.h, the external include.
Behavior is a bit different. Instead of showing the weird two value thing like the old transform did, it always show the weight variation in +/- that is applied to every edge. Works a bit like scale. Move away from center to increase, move closer to decrease (between -1.0 and 1.0).
Works with PET (not using connection yet).
Also removed some missed global Trans variable abuse.
- on add new SoftBody, it creates automatically edges in Mesh now, gives
too confusing results otherwise
- if no edges exist in mesh, it also doesnt add diagonals for faces in
softbody
Transform;
- fixed stupid 'used unitialized' gcc warning (sorry theeth!)
- made dualAxisConstraint() accept string too
- little cleanup of prints in using Manipulators
- Added Softbody effect for Lattices (not too useful yet without
vertexgroups though)
- Added default vertex "goal" value + button, to be assigned when no
vertexgroup exists (or vertex isn't in the group)
- Made softmin and softmax work as documented (defining min and max range)
- made changes in buttons send 'update' signal to softbody
And:
- added Nkey Properties to show lattice coordinates
PET is now checked as a transform flag during transform. Much cleaner that way for NOPET context (extrude, duplicate)
Added Sphere as a new PET falloff mode (icon and all) and reordered them around in a more logical fashion (IMHO).
Also brought back Subsurf toggle with Shift-O (was supposed to be for PET object mode but that was canned).
Accesible with Shift-P (was free), the behavior is much like Shrink/Fatten. Pull mouse toward you to pull toward center, push away to push away. Constraint and PET works with it too, of course.
Tried to change it everywhere, hopefully I didn't miss any.
Also raised max frame to 30000 (maintainer of that code can safely modify it back since it is in one spot now ;) )
Needed that limit for a marketing video contract, might as well commit it.
- added G.editMesh->derived pointer... idea is to use this
for mesh derived from editmesh instead of Mesh->derived (as the
derived mesh tends to vary depending on what it came from).
This part could be cleaner, also there may problems with it not
being invalidated correctly.
- And most importantly: In case people were beginning to worry all
these edits were just crazy zr stuff, the big point comes about:
Incremental subsurf calculation is now enabled. This gives massive
speed improvements when editing a large mesh.
For the eye-candy happy: try setting G.rt==52 before entering editmode
and the edges and vertices (in optimal mode) will switch to displaying
visually the age since a region has last been calculated. Lots of
fun!
