Once 'losing lib' issue is fixed (in previous commit), we have new issue
that this could lead to several copies of the same linked data-block in
.blend file. Which is not good. At all.
So had to add a GHash-based check in libraries reading code to ensure we
only load a same ID from a same lib once.
The issue was that when a same lib was found several times in loaded
.blend, we'd only keep the first occurence. But since Blender expects
next data-blocks to belong to last found library, we could actually
be adding data-blocks assigned to copies of the duplicated lib to
another, totally unrelated lib.
Those data-blocks were then obviously not found when actually loading
libs content, and lost.
Note that this only fix one part of the issue, current code can
generate several copies of same linked data-block now, will fix in
another commit.
While the script should be using INVOKE_PREVIEW for operators in clip view,
window manager was lacking some switch statements.
Thanks Brecht fore review!
- Use BLI_threadpool_ prefix for (deprecated)
thread/listbase API.
- Use BLI_thread as prefix for other functions.
See P614 to apply instead of manually resolving conflicts.
- When returning the number of items in a collection use BLI_*_len()
- Keep _size() for size in bytes.
- Keep _count() for data structures that don't store length
(hint this isn't a simple getter).
See P611 to apply instead of manually resolving conflicts.
This is kind of doesn't matter where macro itself is defined.
We should stick to the following:
- If some macro is actually more an inline function, follow regular
function name conventions.
- If macro is a macro, type it in capitals. Use module prefix if that
helps readability or it if helps avoiding accidents.
This completes twist feature, which is now possible to also control by
texture. Since textures can not easily contain negative values as well,
same trick with 0.5 neutral as vertex groups is used.
All in all, this twist features allows to do following things.
Original hair:
{F2287535}
Hair with scientifically calculated twist value of 0.5:
{F2287540}
And we can also twist braids in opposite directions dependent on left/right
side:
{F2287548}
The idea is to give a control over direction of twist, and maybe amount of
twist as well. More concrete example: make braids on left and right side of
character head to be twisting opposite directions.
Now, tricky part: we need some negative values to flip direction, but weights
can not be negative. So we use same trick as displacement map and tangent normal
maps, where 0.5 is neutral, values below 0.5 are considered negative and values
above 0.5 are considered positive.
It allows to have children hair to be twisted around parent curve, which is
quite an essential feature when creating hair braids.
There are currently two controls:
- Number of turns around parent children.
- Influence curve, which allows to modify "twistness" along the strand.
This isn't supported since there are subsequent reads to all point coordinates
after modification started.
Probably we need to create a temp copy of point, but that's like extra CPU
ticks.
view_layer is NULL when the render engine is created, this gets passed
around and ends up in this code causing a crash. This should be reverted
after the render engine api is updated to set view_layer.
The conditionals in particle code are... some sort of madness... I'm not
even sure what the correct behavior should be from looking at it.
In this case the path cache generation was being skipped in edit mode.
Due to changes in draw code particles from old files that may have had a
default draw size of 0 will not be visible. Old draw code would check
for this and adjust the size, however the unit for draw size has changed
from pixels to BU, and it no longer makes sense to have such checks.
This patch is to ensure particles from such files remain visible.
