This option sets the relative scaling factor to the amount set in the
scene "100%/75%/50%/25%" buttons. It's useful when you've got a fixed
background image, and want to do preview renders at a lesser
percentage, so you don't have to go and change the scale node each
time you change the %.
Also removed unnecessary use of a global from texture node.
This commit adds a new node, crop, to the compositor. This node can be used to
crop input image. It has two modes of operation. It can either crop image
size (Crop Image Size option) or crop while retaining original size of the
image. This latter mode can be used to preview the crop.
Use X1, Y1, X2, Y2 controls to manage the area to be cropped.
Note that I added a check for image preview min and max values to node_update.
This is because it could give inappropriate values in certain cases when
Crop Image Size option was toggled (values such as x1=0, y1=0, x2=60, y2=0 would
result in eternal loop due to bad min and max (min bigger than max!)). The check
makes sure that min and max values are always valid.
Previously if the texture node was not connected directly as the
second input to a node like Mix, the size of the generated image
was initialised to 140x140, which is not that useful. It now is
initialised to the size of the render result if it exists, and if
not, the size of the scene render sizeX/sizeY.
This alleviates bug #7068, which is caused by the displace node
trying to get pixels from a texture node, where the texture node
doesn't contain pixels to cover the entire image (only 140x140)
but it's not really a bulletproof solution...
This commit ports Hue Saturation Value node to the material node system.
Unlike in composite version, each value is an input. Composite node version
will be updated later to use the same scheme.
of the nodes, I realized I had strayed from the path of enlightened blending
by causing the math node to create an output the size of the larger of the
two inputs.
It has been corrected create the output the size of the
first image, and in its abscense the second image. In the event of
nether input containing image data the node does not function. I also
added some early out checks at the beginning of the function to speed it
up a tad in these cases and commented the code a bit more.
* Geometry node: Front/back output
This is used as a mask for determining whether you're looking at the front side or back side of a mesh, useful for blending materials, my practical need was giving different materials to the pages of a magazine: http://mke3.net/blender/etc/frontback-h264.mov
Give 1.0 if it's the front side, and 0.0 if it's the back side.
* Extended material node
This is the same as the material node, but gives more available inputs and outputs, (basically just connecting up more of ShadeInput and ShadeResult to the node). I didn't want to add it to the normal simple Material node since you don't always need all that stuff, and it would make the node huge, but when you do need it, it's nice to have it.

* Invert node
Inverting is something that happens all the time in a node setup, and this makes it easier. It's been possible to invert previously by adding a mix node and subtracting the input from 1.0, but it's not the best way of doing it. This node:
- makes it a lot faster to set up, rather than all the clicking required with the mix node
- is a lot more usable amidst a complex comp setup, when you're looking at a node tree, it's very helpful to be able to see at a glance what's going on. Using subtract for inverting is easily mixed up with other nodes in which you are actually subtracting, not inverting, and looks very similar to all the other mix nodes that usually litter a comp tree.
- has options to invert the RGB channels, the Alpha channel, or both. This saves adding lots of extra nodes (separate RGBA, subtract, set alpha) when you want to do something simple like invert an alpha channel. I'd like to add this option to other nodes too.
There's also a shader node version too.
* Also a few fixes that I committed ages ago, but seems to have been overwritten in Bob's node refactor:
- adding new compbufs to the set alpha and alphaover nodes when you have only one noodle connected to the lower input
- making the fac value on RGB curves still work when there's nothing connected to it
node_composite.c file was split into separate files for each node, it didn't
include a recent defocus node commit.
For the other half of the problem, see comments in code.
* refactor copying and freeing of node->storage by handlerizing them.
- freestoragefunc
- copystoragefunc
- node_util.c/h have generic handlers for these.
Crashes in composite; caused by bad bad bug in freeing "passed on" buffers,
only happens with option "Free unused" set though.
Appeared to be mixup of variable names. Code changes with 2 bytes... :)
Works simple; just check for
if(node->exec & NODE_BREAK)
break;
The main process (node processor) sets such a flag, checking for esc
20 times per second. That means you can check for ESC while doing image
processing without much cpu overhead.
Currently only added in blur nodes and defocus. Needs to be added all over,
nice for others... needs careful tests too.
What we now could do is even calling ESC on editing commands or mouseclicks
in composite editor? Could give user feeling of interactive app :) Further,
finished nodes are kept in memory anyway.
This will allow python or plugin defined nodes to work as well.
(And fixes compile issues with MSVC in yesterdays commit for nodes)
Code provided by Nathan L.
Fixes in his code:
- free_nodesystem() was called too late (after guarded alloc was closed)
- free_nodesystem() was freeing nodes that were not malloced even
- free_nodesystem was using free, not freeN :)
- the typedefs needed to be malloced yes, to allow duplicate nodes like
group but also for dynamic nodes.
- removed all UI .h include stuff! (Not allowed outside of src/)
- Makefile had typo error, compilation failed
Now it survives make, but it does not enter the two the subdirectories for
shader and compo nodes. So a linking gives unrecovered stuff in the end.
How does that work? I need help!
