This commit basically disables the RNA update caches for now, and
introduces a workaround/hack to ensure that modifier properties still
work when animated/driven. The whole way that updates currently get
handled needs reviewing in future.
Fix provided by Brecht.
Objects with drivers are now treated as needing updates when the
current frame changes. This assumption has been documented in the
code, and should at least mean that users who try to use drivers for
creating simple time-based expressions that this should work.
Note:
- It is still recommended to create a "cfra" driver variable instead
of actually inlining bpy.context.scene.frame_current into the
expressions. Not only does the latter look rather nasty to type/have
in the expression, but it is also less future-proof for when I get
around to actually working on a beefed-up depsgraph (nothing official
on that front yet...)
Vertex parents were not requesting the original index layer, now do this as
part of depsgraph building, and make constraints with vertex groups use the
same system. Fix is based on patch by Campbell, but with some changes.
restore, would not get their dependencies updated when they became visible.
It happend with a shrinkwrap modifier in these reports, but could happen with
other modifiers too.
Now we keep track of which layers have ever been updated since load, and tag
objects on them to be recalculated when they become visible.
- use NULL rather then 0 where possible (makes code & function calls more readable IMHO).
- set static variables and functions (exposed some unused vars/funcs).
- use func(void) rather then func() for definitions.
* Effecting particle properties with textures was possible in 2.49,
but not in 2.5 anymore.
* Now particles have their own textures (available in texture panel
for objects with particle systems), which are totally separate from
the material textures.
* Currently a basic set of particle properties is available for
texture control. Some others could still be added, but the whole
system is not intended as an "change anything with a texture" as
this kind of functionality will be provided with node particles in
the future much better.
* Combined with the previously added "particle texture coordinates"
this new functionality also solves the problem of animating particle
properties through the particle lifetime nicely.
* Currently the textures only use the intensity of the texture in
"multiply" blending mode, so in order for the textures to effect
a particle parameter there has to be a non-zero value defined for
the parameter in the particle settings. Other blend modes can be
added later if they're considered useful enough.
When using masks or other simple 3D elements in composites, doing
a layer re-rendering on a node is a bit clumsy all the time.
This commit does two things to help:
- new hotkey "Z" in node editor automatically finds render layer
that changed and re-renders it + composites
- option "Auto Render" does same, but then after every transform
edit in 3D window
The latter is experimental; real & proper system for this requires
full threaded render support (like previews). But it works!

Important fix:
After any render, all the render layers were tagged "changed", which
caused any edit to first totally recomposte everthing. Now it only
composites changes.
Implementation notes
- DAG scene flush now sets 'changed' flags in render layer nodes
- Added notifier for 'transform finished' to trigger the update,
this is temporarily.
Use object's displists for storing deformed tesselated curve. Was unable to
totally get rid of curve's displist because of how texture space is calculating.
move Object.update(...) to ID.update(). since depsgraph update function can now be called on ID types.
also changed how update flags work.
obj.update(scene, 1, 1, 1)
... is now
obj.update({'OBJECT', 'DATA', 'TIME'})
Don't pass scene anymore. This was used for recalculating text but I think this is better dont in a different function.
Surprising this wasnt noticed in a much more obvious case:
- Key Location, Move, Rotate, Undo-Rotate >> Resets to keyed location as well.
This was happening because DAG_on_load_update() was called on read_undosave(), flagging 'ob->adt->recalc |= ADT_RECALC_ANIM;'
Fix by adding an option to DAG_on_load_update(), not to recalculate time flags.
- loop over sequencer plugin and texture voxel paths.
- fix leak in python bpy.utils.blend_path() and use PyUnicode_DecodeFSDefault() to ensure correct paths with different encodings.
- operators to make paths absolute & relative now redraw the view.
only tags the ID and does the actual flush/update delayed, before the next
redraw. For objects the update was already delayed, just flushing wasn't
yet.
This should help performance in python and animation editors, by making
calls to RNA property update quicker. Still need to add calls in a few
places where this was previously avoided due to bad performance.
- removed deprecated bitmap arg from IMB_allocImBuf (plugins will need updating).
- mostly tagged UNUSED() since some of these functions look like they may need to have the arguments used later.
were not created when objects on visible layers depended on them, now
it uses the flushed layer to determine if the object data should be
recalculated.
Modifiers were being mistakenly recalculated at every frame as long as the object had animation, slowing things down due to incorrect depsgraph recalc tags.
Renamed OB_RECALC -> OB_RECALC_ALL to reduce future confusion. During this process, I noticed a few dubious usages of OB_RECALC, so it's best to use this commit as a guide of places to check on. Apart from the place responsible for this bug, I haven't changed any OB_RECALC -> OB_RECALC_OB/DATA in case that introduces more unforseen bugs now, making it more difficult to track the problems later (rename + value change can be confusing to identify the genuine typos).
PBVH used the same verts array as mesh data and shape key/reference key coords
were applying on the mesh data, so on some refreshing undeformed mesh was
displayed.
Added utility functions to get vert coords from key block, apply new vert coords
on keyblock and function to apply coords on bpvh, so now pbvh uses it's ovn
vertex array and no changes are making to the mesh data.
Additional change:
Store key block name in SculptUndoNode, so now shape wouldn't be copied to
wrong keyblock on undo
Since curve objects could have constructive modifiers, we can't
always avoid setting OB_RECALC_DATA to linked objects (displist
recalculation wouldn't enough for curves with such modifiers)
* Division by zero fix for TNT SVD code.
* Sound fix, in case ffmpeg decode fails, don't use the samples.
* Fix for incorrect bounds of transformed objects in new raytracing code.
* Gave memory arena's a name used for allocations for easier memory
usage debugging.
* Dupligroup no_draw option was using layers but not restrict view/render
setting. (not a bugfix exactly but would do display list context switching
while drawing for no reason).
* Fix objects instanced on hair particles not giving consistent results
when the object is transformed.
* New math functions: madd_v4_v4fl, len_squared_v3v3, interp_v4_v4v4v4,
mul_v4_m4v4, SH and form factor functions, box_minmax_bounds_m4.
* mul_m4_m4m4 and mul_m3_m3m3 now accept the same pointers for multiple
arguments.
* endjob callback for WM jobs system.
* Geometry node uv/color layer now has search list/autocomplete.
* Various small buildsystem tweaks, not strictly needed yet in trunk.
This commit removes the Old Track method (used to be found under Object -> Animation -> Track), with all existing instances of this being converted to Track To Constraints. In fact, while performing this removal, I found that this was supposed to have happened in version 2.27 already, but for some reason the options were left in, and this function managed to survive for a further decade.
I've left the tracking axes around still, since it seems some curve tools still use that. However, that usage should probably get faded out in future too?
Misc notes:
* Fixed compiling error with constaints from harkyman's Maintain Volume patch.
* Subversion of 2.52 now bumped up to .2
