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.
This commit restores fluid sim baking functionality in 2.5, it's been on the todo for
a while, and was previously almost completely non-functional. The old
code was quite complicated and specific to the 2.4 animation system, so I've
pretty much rewritten most of it.
This includes:
* Animated variables work again - just key them in the UI. Non-animateable values
should be already set non-animateable in RNA, hopefully I got them all.
Available are: Domain Gravity / Domain Viscosity / Object loc/rot/scale /
Object initial velocity / Deforming meshes / Fluid control Attract strength /
Fluid control Attract radius / Fluid control Velocity strength /
Fluid control Velocity radius / Object Active status (checkbox next to fluid type)
The Domain time scale is still not yet implemented.
* Fluid sim now use global scene units data by default - when enabled, the
scene's global gravity value is used and when units are set (metric/imperial)
the simulation real world size is taken from the object's actual measurements.
* The baking process is now done in the background, using the nifty threaded
Jobs system. It's non-blocking and your domain object will show the simulated
fluid as it becomes available for that frame.
A nice extra thing for the future would be to improve the visualisation of the
object's state while baking, and also the jobs system/ui could do with some
touchups - currently it has to share a bit from the 'render' job, and appears as
'Render' in the header. Progress bars for jobs in the header would be great too.
* Convert all code to use new functions.
* Branch maintainers may want to skip this commit, and run this
conversion script instead, if they use a lot of math functions
in new code:

* Fix crash in python with enum properties, and don't throw
error if no matching identifier is found. This shouldn't
happen, but it should break a python script either, which
is not at fault.
* Fix a wrong variable initialization in fluidsim.
All kinds of changes to get it ready for UI layouts. This means RNA
and operators should be working correct, but most buttons are still
not actually there yet.
* Added near empty soft body, fluid, field and collision panels,
tweaks to cloth panels.
* Fluid bake works, but without escape or showing any progress.
* Fluid/Softbody/Cloth/Collision can now be both added as modifiers
or in the physics panels.
* Missing: fields & soft body for particles.
* Missing: proper updating softbodies, guess this code still needs
updates after pointcache refactor?
Mostly harmless ones, except for one about "gzopen64" being
undeclared. This needs some defines in BLI_storage.h to be set
before <unistd.h> is included. Might fix a crash in compressed
file reading, though I'm not sure since it's hard to repeat
the crash consistently.
- Brought back code for particle edit and fluidsim
- Sanitized code from globals and bad level calls,
so its ready to come back working.
- Fixed cirle selecting (Ckey now)
- Enabled undo for editmode curve, armature, particle
and lattice
(another commit following)
Think global, act local!
The old favorite G.scene gone! Man... that took almost 2 days.
Also removed G.curscreen and G.edbo.
Not everything could get solved; here's some notes.
- modifiers now store current scene in ModifierData. This is not
meant for permanent, but it can probably stick there until we
cleaned the anim system and depsgraph to cope better with
timing issues.
- Game engine G.scene should become an argument for staring it.
Didn't solve this yet.
- Texture nodes should get scene cfra, but the current implementation
is too tightly wrapped to do it easily.
