* Disable setting array length of dynamic array for now, this was not
implemented correct, and it's not really needed now.
* Allow all dimensions to be dynamic size, not just the first.
* Change storage of multidimensional to be simpler.
* Rename API functions to be more compact.
* Fix some bugs in the implementation.
* RenderLayer.rect and RenderPass.rect use a multidimensional
dynamic array now.
* Added RNA subtype for layers.
* Shift-click works again.
* uiItemR can now also handle armature/bone layers.
* Also makes Move to Layer popup work as expected.
Multidim. arrays can now be modified at any level, for example:
struc.arrayprop = x
struc.arrayprop[i] = x
struc.arrayprop[i][j] = x
struc.arrayprop[i][j][k] = x
etc...
Approriate rvalue type/length checking is done.
To ensure all works correctly, I wrote automated tests in release/test/rna_array.py.
These tests cover: array/item access, assignment on different levels, tests that proper exceptions are thrown on invalid item access/assignment.
The tests use properties of the RNA Test struct defined in rna_test.c. This struct is only compiled when building with BF_UNIT_TEST=1 scons arg.
Currently unit tests are run manually by loading the script in the Text Editor.
Here's the output I have: http://www.pasteall.org/7644
Things to improve here:
- better exception messages when multidim. array assignment fails. Those we have currently are not very useful for multidim.
- add tests for slice assignment
* Wrapped Grease Pencil datatypes in RNA.
* Hooked up Grease Pencil access in RNA (i.e. via Main, ID, and Scene)
TODO:
Updates to properties are currently lacking property-update calls, since there's no good notifier for this.
Example code: http://www.pasteall.org/7332/c.
New API functions: http://www.pasteall.org/7330/c.
Maximum number of dimensions is currently limited to 3, but can be increased arbitrarily if needed.
What this means for ID property access:
* MeshFace.verts - dynamic array, size 3 or 4 depending on MFace.v4
* MeshTextureFace.uv - dynamic, 2-dimensional array, size depends on MFace.v4
* Object.matrix - 2-dimensional array
What this means for functions:
* more intuitive API possibility, for example:
Mesh.add_vertices([(x, y, z), (x, y, z), ...])
Mesh.add_faces([(1, 2, 3), (4, 5, 6), ...])
Python part is not complete yet, e.g. it is possible to:
MeshFace.verts = (1, 2, 3) # even if Mesh.verts is (1, 2, 3, 4) and vice-versa
MeshTextureFace.uv = [(0.0, 0.0)] * 4 # only if a corresponding MFace is a quad
but the following won't work:
MeshTextureFace.uv[3] = (0.0, 0.0) # setting uv[3] modifies MTFace.uv[1][0] instead of MTFace.uv[3]
Wrapped the Keying Sets API with RNA Functions so that they can now be called from Py-Scripts. This will ultimately be useful for riggers to create Keying Sets which can get loaded up/created for animators to use after importing their rig.
I've created a demo for this, which can be found at:
http://www.pasteall.org/blend/552
Notes:
- Kazanbas, I've had to create a rna_scene_api.c here to hold some of the relevant functions. Hopefully this won't cause you too much pain when you do your next merge from 2.5 to your branch ;)
- I've noticed that there seem to be a few cases mentioned in the demo which don't totally work yet. I'll commit some fixes for those later.
when passing properties=True as argument.
Other changes:
* uiItemR, uiItemFullR, uiItemFullO now accept a flag argument rather
than multiple different "boolean" arguments, but still exposed as
booleans to python.
* Fix RNA to support setting PROP_RNAPTR for return values.
* Reviewed subtypes, making them more specific and adding new ones.
* Subtypes now have an associated type of units (length, area, volume,
mass, rotation, time, velocity, acceleration). These are not used
yet anywhere.
* Centralized code that decides the name of array items based on
subtype (XYZ, RGB), was copied in 3 places.
* RNA_def_float etc functions still need to be update, will do this
later together with another change.
Not working:
a) rendering (since volumterics branch is not merged yet)
b) moving collision objects of any kind
c) saving of collision objects (because that's what I am working on)
d) pointcache
e) A bunch of other things I already know of
So please do not report any bugs on this one yet :-)
Various fixes for painting, sculpting and particle edit, still
much to be done...
* Move RNA paint and sculpt structs into rna_sculpt_paint.c,
* Added Particle Edit RNA.
* Some tweaks to existing Paint RNA.
* Put texture paint and particle edit object in context.
* Fix some errors in the brush layout, properly doing None
checks, fixing some wrong property identifiers.
* Added tool enum for texture paint and particle edit in panels.
* Allow editing brush textures in the texture buttons, still with
a stupid toggle, ideas for how to make the connection better are
welcome.
- replaced BKE_copy_images with BKE_export_image, now it handles only one image at a time, this is better since for exporters it is
easier to export one image at a time writing new image path to a file
- exposing BKE_export_image in RNA as Image.export, interestingly, RNA allowed me to define a function with PROP_STRING return type
although it doesn't free memory, will fix that in the next commit
- removed bpy.util.copy_images
Unit tests:
- re-wrote a test for BKE_export_image, it's more compact now
- moved unit tests to the creator module to avoid another executable, now running tests with `blender --test`
- as before, unit tests are built only if WITH_BF_UNIT_TEST is non 0
* Added suppport for generating code without verifying with DNA,
this doesn't give good errors and is more error prone, but makes
it easier to wrap things like EditBone which are not in DNA.
* RNA_define_verify_sdna(0), and set to 1 again afterwards.
Too many new features to list! But here are the biggies:
- Boids can move on air and/or land, or climb a goal object.
- Proper interaction with collision objects.
* Closest collision object in negative z direction is considered as ground.
* Other collision objects are obstacles and boids collide with them.
- Boid behavior rules are now added to a dynamic list.
* Many new rules and many still not implemented.
* Different rule evaluation modes (fuzzy, random, average).
- Only particle systems defined by per system "boid relations" are considered for simulation of that system.
* This is in addition to the boids own system of course.
* Relations define other systems as "neutral", "friend" or "enemy".
- All effectors now effect boid physics, not boid brains.
* This allows forcing boids somewhere.
* Exception to this is new "boid" effector, which defines boid predators (positive strength) and goals (negative strength).
Known issue:
- Boid health isn't yet stored in pointcache so simulations with "fight" rule are not be read from cache properly.
- Object/Group visualization object's animation is not played in "particle time". This is definately the wanted behavior, but isn't possible with the current state of dupliobject code.
Other new features:
- Particle systems can now be named separately from particle settings.
* Default name for particle settings is now "ParticleSettings" instead of "PSys"
- Per particle system list of particle effector weights.
* Enables different effection strengths for particles from different particle systems with without messing around with effector group setting.
Other code changes:
- KDTree now supports range search as it's needed for new boids.
- "Keyed particle targets" renamed as general "particle targets", as they're needed for boids too. (this might break some files saved with new keyed particles)
Bug fixes:
- Object & group visualizations didn't work.
- Interpolating pointcache didn't do rotation.
* support for dynamic enums to be inspected enumProp.items() from python.
* fix, enums check for a separator was flipped, meant no enums were in docs.
* dynamic enum functions now check for a NULL context and return all possible options for the "items" attribute used for docs.
* added an arg for rna arrays to free the array there looping over (needed to free dynamically allocated enum items)
* python api checks for NULL items since this can happen in some cases.
* python api, When getting an enum ID from an int in an array - If it failed it would get the first enum identifier and return that. Brecht? dont understand, making it return an empty string in these cases.
Changing Scene.current_frame doesn't work in this case because it adds
a notifier.
Also added RNA_property_update call in pyrna_struct_setattro so that
notifiers are added when a property changes.
* 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 crash in python with enum properties, and don't throw
error if no matching identifier is found. This shouldn't
happen, but it should break a python script either, which
is not at fault.
* Fix a wrong variable initialization in fluidsim.
Implementation of RNA side of foreach_get/foreach_set,
Campbell will do python code.
Three functions for efficiently setting some property for all
items in a collection. RNA_property_collection_raw_array gives
access to the properties as an array with length, stride, and
type specified, if this is possible, i.e. not when it uses a
ListBase, or if a manual get/set function is implemented.
Two other functions take a C array pointer and get/set it
using the a collection + property name, using efficient array
access if possible, and otherwise using slower RNA iterator.
RNA_property_collection_raw_get
RNA_property_collection_raw_set
The number of type conversion required here got a bit out of
hand, it could be more efficient still if checking for more
cases, but function is already long enough.
Example: http://www.pasteall.org/6362/c
* Added support for passing collections to/from RNA functions,
this is done using a ListBase of CollectionPointerLink, which
is a standard ListBase link + PointerRNA.
* Added editable active uv/vcol layer to Mesh.
* Armature.bones now includes all bones, not only the ones without
parents.
* Modifier UV layer fields now are allowed to be empty, previously
this would set the name during modifier evaluation if there was
none.
* Main.remove_object
* Scene.add_object
* Scene.remove_object
* Object.convert_to_triface
* Object.create_preview_mesh
- a small tweak in set_mesh (blenkernel/inter/mesh.c) to make it work on objects having data == NULL
* removed radiosity render code, DNA and RNA (left in radio render pass options), we'll get GI to replace this probably, better allow baking to vertex colors for people who used this.
* removed deprecated solid physics library, sumo integrations and qhull, a dependency
* removed ODE, was no longer being build or supported
* remove BEOS and AMIGA defines and references in Makefiles.
* Optimized RNA property lookups and path resolving, still can be
much better, but now the 1000 IPO example on bf-taskforce25
runs at reasonable speed.
* Also an optimization in the depsgraph when dealing with many
objects, this was actually also a bottleneck here.
Merging changes made by Arystanbek in the soc-2009-kazanbas branch,
plus some things modified and added by me.
* The API files now all in the makesrna module, convention is to
call them e.g. rna_mesh_api.c for rna_mesh.c. Note for visual
studio build maintainers, the rna_*_api.c files are compiled as
part of "makesrna", but do not have rna_*_gen.c generated as part
of the library. SCons/cmake/make were updated.
* Added function flags FUNC_USE_CONTEXT and FUNC_USE_REPORTS, to
allow RNA functions to get context and error reporting parameters
optionally. Renamed FUNC_TYPESTATIC to FUNC_NO_SELF.
* RNA collections now have a pointer to add/remove FunctionRNA's, this
isn't actually used anywhere yet, purpose is to make an alias
main.meshes.add() for main.add_mesh() in python.
* Fixes to make autogenerating property set/get for multidimensional
arrays work, though a 4x4 matrix will be exposed as a length 16
one dimensional RNA array.
* Functions and properties added:
* Main.add_mesh()
* Main.remove_mesh()
* Object.matrix
* Object.create_render_mesh()
* WindowManager.add_fileselect()
* Added icon to property and enum property items. The latter is
responsible for the large number of files changed.
* For RNA functions, added PROP_RNAPTR flag to ask for a PointerRNA
as argument instead of a C pointer, instead of doing it implicitly
with the AnyType type.
* Material: properly wrap diffuse/specular param variables, and
rename some things for consistency.
* MaterialTextureSlot: added "enabled" property (ma->septex).
* Image: make animated property editable.
* Image Editor: make some things editable, notifiers, respect state.
* Context: fix issue with screen not being set as ID.
20669 to 20771
(sheesh, that took an hour, not including having to restart the whole process after TortoiseSVN bailed out midway through the first try)
* Accept None as NULL pointers through python function calls.
* Added type callback for pointers back, it's useful still in
some cases. Made Object.data editable using this, the pointer
type varying based on object type.
* Wrap pin ID pointer in buttons space.
* Added subclasses for text and surface curve ID blocks, to
organize data better and get proper icons.
* Added RNA_type_to_ID_code and ID_code_to_RNA_type functions.
* Update RNA_access.h with new RNA types.
Most of the relevant properties have been wrapped.
- There are still some properties I'm not sure about whether they should be exposed at all (which have been left out for now). Most of these are really internal flags which are used in a few select places.
- To maintain the integrity of the settings, I've included some custom code for a few of the setters (i.e. scale/end-frame) where changing one should result in a change in the other and vica-versa.
Also, tweaked the wrapping for a few other types.
Another side effect of this commit is that I can now uncommented some code for using F-Curves to control the influence and time of the strips. These F-Curves would need to be specifically attached to the NLA-Strip they affect for now (TODO: I need to review this again...), and as such, cannot be used yet since there's no (end-user-accessible) way to do this :)
