circle selecing. I can't find clues (thanks k-rich for help!) what it
exactly causes...seems like inverted draw + glStipple + draw circle
somehow confuses a driver... we can live without i guess?
This commit is to verify it now works ;)
check in theeths commit of 20h ago. :)
Theeth; the signal I added (for normal) was hackish, as noted in comments!
Hopefully in new transform that all will be nice.
When you PAD-enter on a popup-number button (like for add circle) it
accidentally de/increased the value before assigning an "OK". Fixed.
Also: restored functionality that allows to use Enter keys as a mouse
button click. This de/increases values now, opens menus, etc. Not in
pupup or pulldown menus though!
Made extrude along normals more sane. Now behave like a move along an arbitrary axis (including Ctrl/Shift applications and typemode). Also prints "Along faces normal" in the header, to tell the user what's happening.
- outliner bugs:
- shift+click on icons opened new window types
- click on world of other scene, makes that scene active
- deleting objects from multiple scenes crashed
- Rename!
CTRL+leftmouse click on name, makes it a text button. Works for all items as
currently being displayed.
Most work was doing the Bones, which is a nightmare :) But it uses same
code as buttons in Armature-Editmode now, without even needing EditMode :)
When renaming a bone, the Outliner makes the Object active though.
- PageUp / PageDown keys
Do what you expect.
- ALT+B loop edge select loop
- SHIFT+R loop face select loop
(both work with ALT+select too)
- CTRL+R loop cut
- Kkey menu, loop select/cut and knife
- and ALT+select on edge always selects a loop now
As a means to indicate items in the Outliner to do operations on, you can
select with RMB items. Works like FileSelect here. Since selection in
Outliner is only on outliner level, no further UI updates happen. That is
reserved for LMB actions.
Implemented right now are only few operations... they can be called up with
the WKEY (the famous spare key :)
- if objects selected, a menu appears with choices
- if materials or textures selected, a meny appears to unlink them
If you make mixed or confusing selections you get a warning message.
TODO: add selection color in theme, and of course more operations.
Brought back two hacks from previous code:
- do an 'activate window' for each event that happens. this might be not
needed, see below
- also set glReadbuffer at GL_FRONT for inverse draw
And added an escape out of circle select on INPUTCHANGE, when you activate
another window. So the old hack to activate current window might be
redundant.
Purpose for now; get reports solved about wrong circle selection drawing
- added Images in overview
- added Scripts in overview, if clicked it makes it active in open Text
Window
- Padplus/Padminus keys now open one level deeper or less
- fix: Akey didn't really open all...
- fix: click on item of non-active scene, activates new scene
- Added in pulldown the current view commands, including the 'show
hierachy' option, which shows only the full object tree
- You now can activate data by clicking on the hidden icons (displayed in
a row of a collapsed item)
- Added selection and display of active NLA strips
- Cleanup; white text in outliner only for active object
- Made hierachy helplines 1 pixel wide and black, looks nicer
- Made visualization of object hierarchy more clear with lines; this
solves the sometimes confusing mix of 'children objects' and
'linked data'.
- Enter editmode on click, also shows editing context buttons
- SHIFT+click on a item closes/opens all below that item
- Added constraints and Hooks (watch fun icon!)
Note; global undo doesnt restore former view for outliner... it does not
save the GUI, remember? :)
- move static declarations and data definitions out of headers.
the BGL module still need cleaning.
- move declarations out of modules.h and into appropriate .h files.
modules.h still exists as a container for the few modules that
need to #include almost everything.
- all files now have a $Id tag and have been formatted by indent
there are no changes to executable code.
pre-commit versions are tagged with bpy-cleanup-pre-20041007
for the sake of paranoia.
(i tried sort 'by type', but thats very unclear... need think over)
- Vertex Groups are visualized in Outliner (and selectable)
- Armature Bones are visualized & editable too
In general; Outliner now also supports indirect data (Structs with no ID)
- changed weirdo NLA icon into something that makes sense. (Thnx sten!)
the stack has undo elements from another object type, and when you edit
sufficient steps in editmode.
Crash tutorial by Bassam Kurdali, who was totally flabbergasted about it!
Thanks.
- enter/exit posemode now updates outliner view too
- New: outliner option "Show same type". Shows only object types as
current active one. Nice to browse all lamps, mballs, armatures, etc
- Outliner: click on Armature data goes in posemode
And long wanted, and found out is just a threeliner in code:
- Posemode: click-select-drag or grab-gesture switches to 'rotate'
automatic when no bone can be translated.
New option "passepartout" for drawing a darkened area around viewborder
in Camera view. Provided by Wybren van Keulen.
Added button in F10 buttons, just above "DispView". Would like feedback
if this is a temporal or real feature :)
The outliner is a hierarchical diagram displaying a list of data in Blender
and its dependencies. The 'databrowse' doesn't really show it, and Oops is
too chaotic still. And most of all, the former two don't offer much tools.
After discussions on irc, Matt came with this design proposal;
http://mke3.net/blender/interface/layout/outliner/
Which is closely followed for the implementation.
The current version only shows all 'library data' in Blender (objects,
meshes, ipos, etc) and not the 'direct data' such as vertex groups or NLA.
I decided to make it inside the Oopw window, as an option. You can find the
option in the "View" pulldown, or directly invoke it with ALT+SHIFT+F9
Here's a quick overview of the Outliner GUI:
- Header pulldown has options what it can show (Visible = in current layers)
- click on triangle arrow to open/close
- press AKEY to open/close all
- Leftmouse click on an item activates; and does based on type a couple of
extra things:
- activates a scene
- selects/activates the Object
- enters editmode (if clicked on Mesh, Curve, etc)
- shows the appropriate Shading buttons (Lamp, Material, Texture)
- sets the IpoWindow to the current IPO
- activates the Ipo-channel in an Action
- Selected and Active objects are drawn in its Theme selection color
- SHIFT+click on Object does extend-select
- Press DOTkey to get the current active data in center of view
TODO;
- rightmouse selection; for indicating operations like delete or duplicate
- showing more data types
- icon (re)design...
- lotsof options as described in Matts paper still...
If backbuffer is in use for selection codes, the system switches back to
frontbuffer drawing temporally. Is easier solution now.
Next commit; fix for new 'zbuffer clipped selection', which also doesnt
work after using a pulldown or popup menu.
----- Killed UI frontbuffer draw
The interface toolkit was drawing all live updates (while using menus/buttons)
in the frontbuffer. This isn't well supported cross-platform, so time to be
killed once. Now it uses *only* glReadPixels and glCopyPixels for frontbuffer
access.
Live updates or menus now are drawn in backbuffer always, and copied to
front when needed.
NOTE: it was tested, but needs thorough review! On PC systems I suspects
backbuffer selection to screw up (check!). On SGI/SUN workstations it
should work smooth; but I need evidence
----- Smaller fixes;
- AA fonts were garbled on ATI systems. Now the AA fonts are drawn exact
on pixel positions. Needs the new FTGL libb too, patch is on maillist
- Rounded theme uses antialiased outlines
- Pulldown and popup menus have nice softshadow now
- New button type 'PULLDOWN', thats the one that callsup a pulldown menu.
Should be added to themes, as is the full menu/pulldown drawing
- Screendump for 1 window does the full window now, including header
- Empty pulldowns (for example running blender without scripts) give no
drawing error anymore
For review & fun;
- added curved lines as connectors, for Oops window
from within mesh_modifiers (kernel deform.c). It copies vertices to a
temporal particle system (struct SoftBody with BodyPoint structs) to do
physics tricks with it.
For each frame change the delta movements (based on standard ipo anim or
even other deforms (later) are applied to the physics system. How to apply
and calculate satisfying results is not my thing... so here I'll commu-
nicate with others for.
Since it's in the modifier stack, the SoftBody code can run entirely on
original data (no displists!).
Right now I've implemented 2 things;
- "Goal" which is a per vertex value for how much the current position
should take into account (goal=1 is without physics). This is a powerful
method for artists to get control over what moves and not. Right now i
read the vertex color for it.
- And some spring stuff, which now only works based on force moving it to
the originial location. This doesnt work with 'goal'... erhm.
- You can re-use physics vars from engine, used right now is (in Object)
- damping
- springf (spring factor)
- softflag (to set types, or activate softbody for it
- The SoftBody pointer in struct Object is only runtime, nothing saved in
file
To prevent all users going to complain it doesn't work, I've hidden the
functionality. :)
The buttons to set softbody 'on' only show now (psst psst) when the object has
name "soft" as first 4 characters. You can find the buttons in the F7 Particle
Interaction Panel (which should be renamed 'physics properties' later or so.
