(19863 to 21513)
Highlights of the new NLA System (and related Animation System changes):
* NLA Data is stored in AnimData alongside Action and Drivers. The NLA stack is evaluated before the Action, with the Action always overriding the results of the stack.
* NLA Data is arranged in 'Tracks', which act like PhotoShop layers. These can be muted, protected, and/or made to be played back by themselves
* Within each track, there can be multiple 'Strips'. There are 3 types of strip -> Action Clip (references some action), Transition (blends between the endpoints of two strips), and Meta (container for several strips that occur sequentially)
* FModifiers can be applied to strips, and strips can have animated influence/time controls. Playback for strips can also be backwards now!
* Playback can now go in forward and backwards directions.
* Animation Editors have been polished (unfinished features added, existing features cleaned up and made more consistent)
Notes for BuildSystem Maintainers:
* Only scons has been actively tested. Makefiles should work fine.
* MSVC ProjectFiles are broken due to the very way they work.
* CMake status unknown...
Other notes:
* Hopefully I haven't made any mistakes while doing the merge. More files than expected were showing some weird conflicts, so you may have some broken code...
* Not all old files (with NLA) data load exactly the same anymore. However, the bulk of the files out there should be ok (I hope)
This are freetype2 options:
Unfitted - Scaled but un-grid-fitted kerning distances
Default - Scaled and grid-fitted kerning distances
We always use Unfitted, but the "Default" style give better result here,
so please test and if nobody complain we can set this style as the default.
Matt, I found the problem in one of my previous commit, so I revert
all my changes and now the font look good again.
Also remove all the options (kerning, overlap and user kerning), I want
to make this a little better.
* Enums can now be dynamically created in the _itemf callback,
using RNA_enum_item(s)_add, RNA_enum_item_end. All places asking
for enum items now need to potentially free the items.
* This callback now also gets context, this was added specifically
for operators. This doesn't fit design well at all, needed to do
some ugly hacks, but can't find a good solution at the moment.
* All enums must have a default list of items too, even with an
_itemf callback, for docs and fallback in case there is no context.
* Used by MESH_OT_merge, MESH_OT_select_similar, TFM_OT_select_orientation.
* Also changes some operator properties that were enums to booleas
(unselected, deselect), to make them consistent with other ops.
* Fix missing update when browsing to different text.
* Fix wrong spacing in font size 15 drawing in the text editor.
* Fix numbers not updating in color picker buttons.
* directory button enabled again, c code for now, can later become nicer operator
* filename button enabled (pattern match for selection)
* RNA completed (title, file and directory)
* some unused code removal.
* 3D view Object menu works again, many operators missing still
because they are not yet implemented.
* Constraint types now have separator, and fix too much spacing
in the constraints header.
* Fix poll() callback changes in recent commit, note that these have
to work with pinned context too.
* Hide header for context panels in py layout.
* Don't jump back when collapsing a panel, allow the view to be
over some empty space until you scroll back.
* Fix follow context icon, order had to be reversed in icon file.
* ID template now has icon as part of browse button instead of
outside the buttons.
* Pass on mouse location on window leave/enter too, fixing some
issues with button highlights and tooltips.
* When a modal operator runs, grab the mouse cursor so that for
example transform still works when you move your mouse outside
of the window, previously it would just stop then. This is
automatic now for all modal ops, perhaps not always needed?
* Fix for a trailing button highlight issue.
* 3D view Mesh menu works again, but incomplete.
* Add Properties and Toolbar to 3D View menu.
* Added "specials" menus back, vertex/edge/face and general.
* Various fixes in existing mesh operators, some were not working.
* Add MESH_OT_merge.
* Merge all subdivide ops into MESH_OT_subdivide, subdivide code
changes to make smooth + multi give good results.
* Rename all select inverse ops to *_OT_select_inverse.
* Fix "search for unknown operator" prints at startup, and some
warnings in py code.
* Don't run .pyc files on startup.
* Remove unused image window header C code.
* Context panel now draws without header, with arrows, no scene name.
* Softbody vertex group search popup.
* Improve names for autogenerated shortcut keys in menus.
* Make most Select menus in the 3D view header work.
* Fix armature border select selection syncing.
* Add POSE_OT_select_constraint_target,
MESH_OT_select_by_number_vertices, MESH_OT_select_vertex_path.
* Merge mesh select similar into one operator.
* Don't give MESH_OT_select_random Space hotkey.
* Add DAG_object_flush_update to many mesh edit tools, not calling this
will crash with modifiers.
* RNA_def_enum_funcs for dynamic enums in operators, but not very useful
without context yet.
* Fix refresh issue with image window header + editmode.
* Fix drawing of shadow mesh for image painting.
* Remove deprecated uiDefMenuButO and uiDefMenuSep functions.
* Remove keyval.c, code is in wm_keymap.c already.
* Rename WM_operator_redo to WM_operator_props_popup.
* Text labels on NLA-Strips should now draw properly for most short-strips now. Previously, the padding on the text was a bit too extreme, so for very short strips (less than 4 frames or so), the text was often pushed down into the bottom-right corner of view.
* Optimised the keyframe-highlighting code for buttons a bit. Replaced the custom linear-search with the binary-search used when inserting keyframes (and for the 3d-view keyframe-indicator). There should be some theoretical improvements due to this at least...
- Scrollers now only disappear for regions with a fixed total view, like
lists, buttons, channels. More or less infinite views keep scrollers to
indicate that you can still pan or zoom further.
- Nodes: put back SHIFT+D "Add duplicate"
(Also fixed duplicate objects menu name... it should be a bit more
descriptive)
* Baked normal particles can now use the "Path" visualization.
* Path "max length" & "abs length" are now history:
- New option to set path start & end times + random variation to length.
- Much more flexible (and calculated better) than previous options.
- This works with parents, children, hair & normal particles unlike old length option.
- Only known issue for now is that children from faces don't get calculated correctly when using path start time.
* New option "trails" for "halo", "line" and "billboard" visualizations:
- Draws user controllable number of particle instances along particles path backwards from current position.
- Works with children too for cool/weird visualizations that weren't possible before.
* Normal particle children's velocities are now approximated better when needed so that "line" visualization trails will look nice.
* New particle instance modifier options:
- "path"-option works better and has controllable (max)position along path (with random variation possible).
- "keep shape"-option for hair, keyed, or baked particles allows to place the instances to a single point (with random variation possible) along particle path.
- "axis" option to make rotation handling better (still not perfect, but will have to do for now).
Some fixes & cleanup done along the way:
* Random path length didn't work for non-child particles.
* Cached & unborn particles weren't reset to emit locations.
* Particle numbers weren't drawn in the correct place.
* Setting proper render & draw visualizations was lost somewhere when initializing new particle settings.
* Changing child mode wasn't working correctly.
* Some cleanup & modularization of particle child effector code and particle drawing & rendering code.
* Object & group visualizations didn't work.
* Child simplification didn't work.
* Lattices: properties editable, editmode operators, menus working
again. As a bonus you can now edit u/v/w in editmode.
* Shape Keys: some code cleanup, and added more buttons. The
value/min/max buttons don't work correct yet though.
* Fix issue with uv textures, vertex colors not being visible outside
editmode, and a few other issue. Mesh.edit_mesh is now NULL when
not in editmode.
More scroller work:
- Added subtle arrow widgets to denote a scroller can zoom the view.
- Made zoom symmetric (old convention to only zoom "one side" just
worked badly)
All kinds of changes to get it ready for UI layouts. This means RNA
and operators should be working correct, but most buttons are still
not actually there yet.
* Added near empty soft body, fluid, field and collision panels,
tweaks to cloth panels.
* Fluid bake works, but without escape or showing any progress.
* Fluid/Softbody/Cloth/Collision can now be both added as modifiers
or in the physics panels.
* Missing: fields & soft body for particles.
* Missing: proper updating softbodies, guess this code still needs
updates after pointcache refactor?
Cleanup of scroller drawing in 2D windows.
Before:

After:
http://download.blender.org/institute/rt12.jpg
Will add 'zoom' widget circles later, as mockupped here:
http://www.reynish.com/files/blender25/fcurve_scrollbar.png
Also note the scale values are inside scroller; drawing it
on top conflicts with current frame item and markers.
Currently scroller disappear entirely when view is total.
For Joshua:
To make sliders behave nicely, the boundbox (v2d->tot) has to
be refreshed on each change. I've added it in graph drawing
now, but it could be notifier based I guess... not sure what
the correct anim api call would be. Can discuss tomorrow!
On todo:
Layout config hints so people can make scroller positions swap.
More toolbar functionality for workflow review.
- Split the region in two parts, bottom has the Tool Properties, the
top part shows 2 panels, one for python defined tools, other for a
"tool shelf" which (later) will get saved in files.
- Added a full context driven framework for this toolbar, showing
the tools depending on 3D window 'mode'. Both python defined tools
as the shelf respect this. So - for example - you will see different
tools in editmode mesh, as in vertex paint mode, etc.
- First template for the python tools will be committed after this commit;
it has placeholder tools to just show/test functioning.
NOTE: if you had saved a layout that shows tools region, open/close it
once to get the new region created for properties.
TODO:
- Moving paint properties to tool settings
- Test a layout with horizontal toolbar (without properties)
- Bring back floating panels, and put tool-properties here. (as option)
RNA
* Added the relevant active_*_index properties, with proper
get/set/range, updates and notifiers.
* Context.tool_settings.
* ToolSettings.vertex_group_weight.
Operators
* MESH_OT_uv_texture_add/remove
* MESH_OT_vertex_color_add/remove
* MESH_OT_sticky_add/remove
* OBJECT_OT_vertex_group_add/remove/assign/remove_from/
select/deselect/copy/copy_to_linked
* OBJECT_OT_shape_key_add/remove
UI
* Some updates and cleanups in list template code.
Known issue: when going in & out of editmode, uv textures and vertex
colors dissappear. I thought me->edit_mesh would be NULL when not in
edit mode but it is not?
Image Window
* Unpack operator now works.
* Some small layout code tweaks.
Info Window Header
* Moved to python UI code.
* template_running_jobs, template_operator_search added.
* Ported external data operators: pack/unpack all, make
paths relative/absolute, find/report missing files.
Also
* Report RPT_INFO too, not only warnings and errors.
* Run UI handle functions after RNA and Operators.
* Rename particle system add/remove operators, to not
include "slot", that's only there for materials because
that's what they are called now in RNA.
* start of filebrowser RNA
* system files, bookmarks, etc. now nicely inside panels to allow collapsing etc.
* filebrowser header now defined in space_filebrowser.py
TODO:
* button type for bookmarks etc. not final yet, at least should get centered still. Suggestions welcome here.
Search Menu: added feature that on opening, it shows the
current ID block, and selects it. Same can be used for other
searches, just pass on pointer to active item for the search
callback.
Also fixed arrow triangle draw for search.
Menu usage: enabled arrow-key based browsing, especially for open and
close sublevels. Only thing missing is to prevent sublevel to open
on creating menu (like SHIFT+A now), this is design conflict in code.
(It sends fake mouse move events causing it)
Implementation note; the 'auto open sublevel' feature gets triggered
with new state var, that checks if mouse was used or not.
Also: on render in editmode, editmode result gets stored, as usual for 2.4x.
Bugfixes:
- Preview Icon for render result crashed, there was still need for a scene
pointer to be passed on.
- Added quick fix for preventing shaded drawmode to call render while
rendering is in progress. It crashes badly.
Rendering while UI is alive is still in probation, most UI stuff will
probably get blocked, with exception from inspecting buttons and using
the image window.
Two bugfixes:
- When making 2d windows small (zero sized) the view2d data could get
corrupted with NaN values. Clipped values correctly to 1.
- Search menu (ctrl+alt+f) had wrong color for selected text in text
button
* Search popup + autocomplete for bones, vertex groups, etc. This
is done with layout.item_pointerR, specifying an RNA collection to
take the items from. Used by constraints and modifiers.
* Some tests with the List template, ignore those for now..
Part one (of probably many :) of Operator review/validation.
Nothing final nor defined, it's reseach :)
- Added tool buttons in "Toolbar" (Tkey). Just four examples
for objectmode, and six for mesh editmode.
(Review in progress is operator internal state vs context, what
do redo exactly, undo vs redo syncing, when op->invoke or not,
etc. This has to be pinned down exactly and frozen asap)
- On undo, clear redo-operator-stack for now (won't work)
- Added call to better detect active/current view3d region.
ED_view3d_context_rv3d(C)
- Fixed some operators that missed correct redo (add-prim etc).
Later more fun!
Rendering preview icons is back!
Note for Andrea: the render code has been decoupled from
drawing, it needs Scene context to be able to run...
At the moment only the search menu calls the new render
code (which is the ID browse menu default anyway)
check Save Image or Export PLY operator for example.
Also these code changes:
* Added some RNA collection iterator macros to simplify code.
* Fix bpy.props.BoolProperty not working correct.
* Merge uiDefAutoButsRNA/uiDefAutoButsRNA_single into one.
- Added ND_SHADING notifier on linking materials, so it gives
refreshes in UI
- Removed reduntant debug prints
Crucial fixes in other code while checking warnings;
- Particle buttons were assigned to short, whilst data was int
- Filesel border select used float rect API, on an int rect.
