Fixes various crashes and redraw problems, most noticeable new feature
is that you can now sculpt on a multires mesh with deforming modifiers
preceding it.
I've left out support for sculpting on multires with enabled modifiers
following it, in this case only the base mesh can be sculpted now. The
code changes needed to do this are just too ugly in my opinion, would
need a more torough redesign which I don't think we should try now. In
my opinion this is also not really an important case, since it's going
to be incredibly slow anyway to run a modifier on a high res mesh while
sculpting.
So, to summarize current state:
* Fastest sculpting: base mesh with no modifiers or multires with only
modifiers preceding it.
* Slower sculpting: base mesh with modifiers, depends on the speed of
the modifiers.
* Not supported: multires mesh with modifiers following it.
Used approach with creating DerivedMesh for curves whet they've got such modifiers.
Available modifiers are: array, edge split, mirror, solidify, subsurf.
- backbuf colors were ignored with VBO's, disable since to make this work with VBO's it would need to re-bind a color array, then restore the previous one after.
I've removed editmesh altogether (other then scanfill, which is
seperate code that happens to reuse the editmesh structures).
The compatibility layer I had written for old editmesh tools
was more trouble then it was worth, though it did help in the
early stages of this project.
There's a fair amount of breakage, and there's bunches of tools
(mostly minor ones) I need to port over still. Biggest ones are
join triangles and loop to region, and spin/screw.
This probably isn't really testable, I'll hopefully have more
work done on this soon, but might not be before next week.
Fix#20516: subsurf modiefier+pressing add for smoke sims results in crash.
Fix retopo not working correct on subsurf mesh.
Various deforming modifiers were not correctly taking into account that a
derivedmesh is not necessarily a CDDerivedMesh, made utility functions for
this now.
Most likely will not compile for others, I'd appreciate any build errors
and missing files reports (I can never seem to get everything committed
and all the build systems working without help).
Porting over the sculpt/multires tools was a breeze,
thanks goes to brecht for a design that didn't exclude
ngons and was easy to port.
Note that I've not tested externally-backed multires
file support yet. Also, I still need to write version
patch code for some cases.
Some notes:
* Like trunk, topological changes don't update multires right,
so e.g. subdivide will duplicate multires data on the new faces,
instead of subdividing it.
* If you set the debug value (ctrl-alt-d) to 1 it'll turn on
my experiments in speeding up sculpting on higher-res multires
meshes (but note it makes partial redraw not completely accurate).
* There's a bug where you have to go through editmode to get out
of sculpt mode, not sure if I inherited or created this myself.
* Fix#20482: grab brush + size pressure sensitivity don't work
together, disabled the pressure sensitivty for that case now.
* Fix for smooth brush messing up mesh sometimes, smooth factor
is now clamped to reasonable range.
* Fix#20449: smooth brush + mirror modifier could crash.
Also fixes:
* Weight paint subsurf drawing.
* Missing pointer endian conversion in paint brushes.
* Use of unitialized variable in screen version patch.
* Multires modifier without mdisps layer crash.
* Displacement coordinates are now stored differently, as a grid per
face corner. This means there is duplication of coordinates, especially
at low subdivision levels, but the simpler implementation justifies it
I think.
* ToDo: conversion of existing multires files (2.4x or 2.5x), loading them
may even crash now.
* Editmode preservation/interpolation code also has not been updated yet.
* Multires now works on the CCGDerivedMesh grids instead of CDDerivedMesh,
which should be more memory efficient.
* There are still bad memory peaks (if you're using 32bit) when subdividing
or propagating displacements. Though at least there should be no huge
memory blocks allocated, which windows is now to have trouble with.
* Still found some weird spike artifacts at lower multires levels, some also
happening before this commit. Perhaps computation of tangents needs to be
tweaked more.
* Multires modifier now has viewport, sculpt and render levels. Also the
levels have been made consistent with subsurf, previously the same level
of subdivision was one less for multires.
* Both multires and subsurf modifier now can have their subdivision level
set to 0 for no subdivision.
* PBVH can now be created contain both from face grids or standard
meshes. The former is much quicker to build for high res meshes.
* Moved some drawing code into pbvh (mostly for the frustum test).
* Moved ray intersection code into pbvh.
* GPU buffers also can be built from either mesh or grids now.
* Updated sculpt code to work with this. The ugly part is that there
is now a macro for iterating over vertices, to handle both cases,
and some duplicated code for e.g. undo.
* Smooth brush does not work yet with grids.
* Now uses the CCG DerivedMesh also in object mode, used to be edit mode only.
* Create CD_ORIGINDEX layer on demand, to save memory.
* Removed ss_to_cdderivedmesh function, and instead create ccgdm and then
convert that to cddm, to avoid code duplication.
* Added and implement DerivedMesh interface functions to obtain face grids.
* Store edge/face flags more memory efficient.
* Export CCGDerivedMesh struct in BKE_subsurf.h
* 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:
http://www.pasteall.org/9052/python
* Draw/Inflate/Layer now keep working on the original mesh coordinates and
normals from when the stroke started. This helps avoid the mesh blowing
up, but can still be better. The old behavior is still available as
"Accumulate" in the UI.
* This requires some more memory usage for the BVH, would like to find a
way to avoid that.
* Smooth falloff is now the default.
* Spacing is now enabled by default, with a value of 7.5.
* Anchored now stores normals per node to save some memory.
The weak point now is the thread-safe atomic access to normals from multiple
threads, did not seem to be a bottleneck in my tests but I don't really trust
it to be fast.
* Sculpting, normal update and bounding box code is now multithreaded
using OpenMP.
* Fix a number of update issues: normals on node boundaries, outdated
bounding boxes, partial redraw, .. . There's probably still a few
left, but should be better now.
* Clicking once now does a single paint instead of two (was also
painting on mouse up event).
* Smooth shading now is enabled for the full mesh when the first face
uses it (so it can be tested at least).
Implementation Notes:
* PBVH search can now be done either using a callback or bt gathering the
nodes in an array. The latter makes multithreading with OpenMP easier.
* Normals update code is now inside PBVH, was doing it per node before but
should do all faces first and only then vertices.
* Instead of using search modes + 1 modified flag, now nodes get 4 flags
to indicate what needs to be updated for them, found that this makes it
easier for me to understand the code and fix update bugs.
* PBVHNode is now exposed as an abstract type, I think this makes it more
clear what is happening than having it's data passed as part of callback
functions.
* Active_verts list was replaced by looping over nodes and the vertices
inside them. However the grab brush still uses the active_verts system,
will fix that later.
* Some micro-optimizations, like avoiding a few multiplications/divisions,
using local variables instead of pointers, or looping over fewer vertices
to update the bounding boxes.
