This operator used to be called "Jump to Frame". It basically takes the midpoint
(frame number and/or value) of selected keyframes, and positions the current
frame (or2d-cursor in Graph Editor) at this point.
The hotkey for this is now Ctrl-G (i.e. as it's similar to a "Goto Frame"
feature). It is also now in the Key menu instead of in the relatively obscure
View menu, even though it doesn't actually result in any keyframe edits taking
place.
(Also, fixed a typo/grammer issue with one of Remove Bone Group operator)
Adding/Rename markers (M/Ctrl-M) were restricted to only being
available when the mouse was hovering just over the time scroller at
the bottom of animation editors, as otherwise we'd get nasty keymap
conflicts where markers keymap would block all the primary function
keymaps.
However, in the case of Adding/Renaming markers, there are no other
keys which currently conflict with these in such cases. Hence, it is
fine to let these ones be able to be run from anywhere within the
animation editors, which should make it easier to add markers for
lipsyncing purposes again for example.
this is more commonly used that the TimeSlide tool (which is DopeSheet
only).
Noticed that this does bring this out of line with the hotkey for
setting extrapolation, but then again, extrapolation is a per-curve
setting.
Ported joeedh's Euler Filter code from Python to C so that this is
more in line with the other Graph Editor tools - i.e. joeedh's version
only worked on the active bone's curves, while standard tools could
work with multiple bones/objects at the same time.
To use this new version of this operator:
1) Select all the F-Curves for all 3 of the components (XYZ) for the
euler rotations you wish to clean up. In the Graph Editor, they must
be one after the other (i.e. you can't have "RotX, RotY, something
else, RotZ")
2) Activate the operator from the Key menu in the Graph Editor
In an old test file I have floating around, this method did not appear
to be good enough to fix a very clear discontinuity in the middle of
the action, so I'll test some additional methods too
Not really a "bug", but it was on my todo anyways. Based on patch
[#26508] by Campbell, with a few modifications including extending
this to the Action/DopeSheet editor too.
Shift+D in graph editor was an operator calling internally an operator.
Better is to make it a Macro, then Undos and Esc work nicely.
Note for API users: the operator "graph.duplicate" will now just
copy the selection and not run transform. Nicer too :)
Previous commit fixing rest of handle type keymaps renamed this
operator, but that brings it out of line with rest of animation editor
operators, so reverting that fix.
Also, made Action Editor/DopeSheet use same hotkey as Graph Editor for
setting handle types now (which is same as one used in 3D-View).
graph editor:
- option "extend mode" requires channel-selection. Moved pulldown menu
from Key to Channel instead
- hotkey SHIFT+E for same operation now works both in channel list as in
main view.
Graph editor: hotkeys for handles restored; they work immediate
and non modal now (menu was ugly and slow). Uses similar options
as 3d curve editing, but not toggling 'aligned'
HKEY: sets aligned
SHIFT+H: sets auto
ALT+H: sets free handle
VKEY: vector handle
Tweaked keymap for Graph Editor Ctrl-LMB so that the popup menu for displaying reports won't get dismissed immediately. Changing keymap here from KM_PRESS to KM_CLICK
I've made most operators which change the current frame are now undoable. This has the following benefits:
- it brings these into line with simply changing the frame number directly
- as in this bug report, using the operator tweaking/redo capabilities was causing problems, as the lack of an undo for the frame change mean that changing the operator properties (in this case to do numeric input for transforms, which is a bit of a creative if inefficient use of the available tools) would cause the current frame to reset to the previous frame, making it seem impossible to tweak the operator settings
Notes:
- screen.frame_offset() operator has been left alone, since I expect that undo pushes on this one would be truly annoying while on the others it's probably ok/wanted. This is because with this operator, animators usually end up stepping through their animations vs one-off jumps/scrubbing-sessions
* 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.
Early when implementing the Graph Editor in 2.5, a key complaint that was levelled at the old 'IPO Editor' was that it was a constant annoyance that adjacent handles were getting selected in addition to the keyframes, when only the keyframes were intended. I solved this by making this default to only selecting keyframes and ignoring the handles, but this means that it isn't possible to batch move several handles at once.
I've now improved this situation by adding an option to the border select operator (involved using Ctrl-B instead of B) which makes the handles get treated separately (as if they were separate verts, as in 2.4x). The default is still to only select keyframes, to have consistency with the DopeSheet...
Also performed some more renaming work in the code...
Only source/blender/editors/ dir, should not give errors on different platforms
Only removing: UI_*.h, ED_*.h, WM_*.h, DNA_*.h, IMB_*.h, RNA_*.h, PIL_*.h
* Copy/Paste operators for F-Modifiers
Available in Graph and NLA Editors. Use the Copy/Paste buttons beside the 'Add Modifier' buttons.
Copy copies all the modifiers of the ACTIVE F-Curve or Strip depending on the editor.
Paste pastes modifiers from the buffer to all the selected F-Curves or Strips, adding the new modifiers to the ends of each list.
* 'Stepped Interpolation' F-Modifier
This modifier holds each interpolated value from the F-Curve for several frames without changing the timing.
This allows to preview motions 'on-twos' for example without altering the timing, or having to go through setting heaps of keyframes. In this case, Andy wanted to use this for CG <-> StopMo.
