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.
This modifier used undeformed coordinates from emDM.
Added method getVertCos to emDM, so meshdeform now could use it
to get deformed coordinates form any derived mesh.
is still set very low so in many cases it could be even smaller, but being
a bit conservative here to try to avoid breaking rigs.
This is not forward-compatible, i.e. loading new files in older blender
versions will loose the binding.
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.
