attenuation that should really be optional. There's also a minor
performance penalty and all this only for one problematic case. In case
the tool flattens two surfaces, users can manually set the front face
only option. A better non-attenuating way to cull such vertices can be
added later.
Also flatten brush should calculate the flatten plane from the original
vertices or the flattening will not converge for planes offsets
different than zero.
Reported by Michalis Zissiou, thanks!
* Cleanup for previous commit and reduce some local variable referencing
* Add support for brushes that operate on frontfaces only and do not
show the option for those brushes. Currently only clay strips is in the
list but this may change according to artist feedback. This should take
care of the "sticky" surface problem completely.
rotation of the brush mask texture.
Unfortunately secondary path does not work here because we do not have a
permanent switch to choose between primary-secondary brush texture. Use
operator property instead.
initialization. In sculpt mode, when using shift-click to switch to the
smooth brush it was possible to ommit initialization of curvemapping for
that brush.
This was in fact really nasty bug, caused by multitex_nodes
function using global variable R (which is a copy of current
renderer). this variable is not initialized to anything
meaningful for until first rendering (preview or final)
happened.
Since multitex_nodes might be used outside of render pipeline,
made it so whether CM is on or off as an argument to functions
multitex_ext_safe and multitex_ext. Now multitex_nodes() is
only shall be used for stuff happening from render pipeline!
Also needed to make some changes to other places, so all the
usages of texture sampling knows for the fact whether CM is
on or off.
And one more change is related on behavior of dispalcement,
wave, warp, weightvg modifiers and smoke. They'll be always
using CM off since texture is used for influence, not for
color.
It's rather bigger patch, but it's mostly straightforward
changes, which we really need to be done.
Reviewed by Brecht, thanks!
consistent with projection painting.
Also did some refactoring of this code, moving the brush image creation code
out of brush.c and making it consistent with image updating code.
* 2D image painting with textures that contained alpha did not work correctly,
had been broken for a while.
* 2D image panels texture (mask) panels showed wrong buttons for texture overlay.
* Texture map mode 3D now also uses masking, like Tiled and Stencil the texture
does not move along with the brush so it works fine.
* 2D image paint View mapping did not work correct, especially noticeable with
Rake rotation.
* Masking is now disabled for the smear tool, this can't really work because
the original image is constantly changing and gave artifacts.
scaling it along one axis, now there's a Reset Transform button.
The Image Aspect button is now also hidden unless the texture is an image texture.
And also hide the color wheel for painting tools that don't use colors.
* 2D image painting support for masking to limit the max contribution of a stroke
to a pixel, to get it working compatible with projection painting. Not strictly
a bugfix, but the inconsistency here was annoying.
* Fix python errors in Texture Mask panel in image editor, was missing overlay
options.
* Clamp paint mask to 0..1 in case some texture exceeds it, this could give black
pixels due to integer overflow.
old issue, the formulas here were never quite right, should all work ok now
with byte and float images.
Some differences:
* Colors with zero alpha from the background will never have an influence, so
you don't get alpha fringes when painting over such areas. This does give
hard edges when looking at the RGB channels alone, but there's no way to
avoid that and fringes at the same time, same behavior as other painting apps.
* Add/Subtract/Multiply/Lighten/Darken now leave the alpha channel unchanged
and work only the RGB channels, again same behavior as many other apps.
* Erase/Add alpha now compensates for premultiplied float images to keep the
straight RGB colors the same.
Next: fix projection painting.
* Fix precision overflow issue with overlay previews,
* Expose alpha mask mapping to UI (still not functional but coming soon).
* More overlay refactoring:
Overlay now does minimal checking for texture refresh.
Instead, we now have invalidation flags to set an aspect of the brush
overlay as invalid. This is necessary because this way we will be able to
separate and preview different brush attributes on the overlays, using
different textures:
These attributes/aspects are:
Primary texture (main texture for sculpt, vertex, imapaint)
Secondary texture (mask/alpha texture for imapaint)
Cursor texture (cursor texture. It involves brush strength and curves)
Modified the relevant RNA property update functions and C update callback
functions to call the relevant cursor invalidation functions instead
of checking every frame for multiple properties.
Properties that affect this are:
Image changes, if image is used by current brush,
Texture slot changes, similarly
Curve changes,
Object mode change invalidates the cursor
Paint tool change invalidates the cursor.
These changes give slightly more invalidation cases than simply
comparing the relevant properties each frame, but these do not occur in
performance critical moments and it's a much more elegant system than
adding more variables to check per frame each time we add something on
the system.
Stencil style texture mapping. Ready for field testing and user feedback.
This commit adds stencil like brushes, like those that existed on old ptex branch.
(with the exception of clip colour)
To control the position of the stencil, you use
Q: translation
Shift - Q: scaling
Ctrl - Q: rotation
There's extra work that has been done to make this work:
* Support for coloured overlay in vertex/texture painting
* Also made A button do stroke mode selection like in sculpt mode,
when mask painting is inactive.
There are some TODOs to work on during bcon3:
* Support tiled and stencil mode in 2D painting. Support alpha textures also.
* Tidy up overlay code. There's some confusion there due
to the way we use the primary brush texture sometimes for alpha, other times
for colour control.

Issue is sharing using global random generator which is shared with
particle system which resets the seed due to some scene/option
combination. Since it may be desirable to get predictable results with
particles, made sure brushes allocate their own random number generator
on startup and use that for jittering.
paint. Was own regression when optimizing colour operations. I will not
use an alpha bit mask since it may run into portability issues with byte
order.
ALERT! POSSIBLE BREAKING COMMIT, ESPECIALLY FOR SCULPT!
Separate the sculpt sampling function so that it can be reused
from other paint systems. This includes updating of the relevant
coordinates for anchored and rake style brushes, which are now
being updated as part of the stroke system.
I left only code for area-style brush texture mapping in sculpt
code, since it requires a few data structures not present on other
paint systems.
This commit makes it almost as easy to support rake on other systems as
exposing the python UI for it. Also it makes it totally possible to
have texture painting capabilities in vertex paint too :) These commits
will follow very soon.
Also, even if I did my best to keep the code from breaking, (even fixed a
leftover bug from coordinate changes) this is a big change. Please test!
absolute coordinates. This allows an artist to lower the brush radius
while keeping the spread of the brush constant. A toggle under the
jitter slider provides the option to switch between relative/absolute.
This is as close as I can get to keeping the old code intact. After this
commit, I will have to change existing code paths, making testing of
functionality harder.
Changes:
* Keep only projective texturing code in paint_image_proj.c
* Move 2D code to paint_image_2d.c. This needed the introduction of
allocation/cleanup functions for the relevant structures.
* Common code interface for both modes stays in paint_image.c (which
still includes all old code, system should work as it did with the
exception of non-projective 3D paint mode) and is made public. This is
not a lot of code, only rectangle invalidation and undo system.
* Changed the naming in the new code slightly: imapaint_ prefixed functions refer to
common functions used by both systems, paint_2d_ prefixed to 2d
painting. There will be an interface for the projection painting as
well. Probably there is some leftover naming conversions to do.
TODO:
* Move operator init/exec/modal to common interface file
* Get rid of old BKE_brush_painter_paint, now brush_painter_2d_paint.
All code uses stroke system for the stroke management
* Write space pressure management for the paint stroke system (for other
systems to access as well :) )
* Move texture paint tablet presssure exception code for old bugs to
stroke system (makes me wonder...aren't other systems also influenced by
these pressure issues?) or up in the function hierarchy inside texture
paint. This code is still not there so users with tablets may notice
some issues.
* possibly change other systems to pre-multiply pressure with the
relevant influenced attributes in the stroke function. This could get
tricky though and it's possible that it could backfire.
Issue was caused by couple of circumstances:
- Normal Map node requires tesselated faces to compute tangent space
- All temporary meshes needed for Cycles export were adding to G.main
- Undo pushes would temporary set meshes tessfaces to NULL
- Moving node will cause undo push and tree re-evaluate fr preview
All this leads to threading conflict between preview render and undo
system.
Solved it in way that all temporary meshes are adding to that exact
Main which was passed to Cycles via BlendData. This required couple
of mechanic changes like adding extra parameter to *_add() functions
and adding some *_ex() functions to make it possible RNA adds objects
to Main passed to new() RNA function.
This was tricky to pass Main to RNA function and IMO that's not so
nice to pass main to function, so ended up with such decision:
- Object.to_mesh() will add temp mesh to G.main
- Added Main.meshes.new_from_object() which does the same as to_mesh,
but adds temporary mesh to specified Main.
So now all temporary meshes needed for preview render would be added
to preview_main which does not conflict with undo pushes.
Viewport render shall not be an issue because object sync happens from
main thread in this case.
It could be some issues with final render, but that's not so much
likely to happen, so shall be fine.
Thanks to Brecht for review!
It was caused by own mistake by not noticing externtex is used not
only by render engine. Now this function uses pool passed as argument
rather than using R.pool.
