- remove brush array for each Paint struct, just use a single brush pointer.
- removed rna function based template filtering.
- filter brushes using a flag on the brush and the pointer poll function.
- set the brushes using a new operator WM_OT_context_set_id().
TODO
- remake startup.blend, currently brush groupings are lost.
- rewrite WM_OT_context_set_id() to use rna introspection.
* Changed UI code to display image browser for PROP_IMAGEPATH
* Set the icon_filepath RNA property for brushes to use PROP_IMAGEPATH
* Changed preview icon drawing to ignore unset icons
* Fixed const warnings in brush RNA
Fixed brush icons loading slowly
* Changed brush icon property from an enum to a flag that toggles whether a custom file is used for the brush icon
* Changed get_brush_icon to only handle loading external icons, built-ins are handled through the regular icon system
* Modified preview icon drawing to allow built-in icons
* When not using a custom icon, a default icon is selected based on the current tool
TODO:
* Allowing preview to show built-in icons makes the brush texture selector look ugly when nothing is selected. As discussed on IRC though, the nothing-selected state needs to be clarified anyway; I'll address this in another commit
* Use image browser when selecting a custom icon
* Selecting the default icon is ugly (uses the active object's mode), this can be fixed by making brushes know which paint mode they are part of
More icon work
* Added icon defines for all the brushes
* Load all the brush icons after loading regular Blender icons
* Added the brush icons to their respective tool enums in RNA
* Fixed a couple unused-variable warnings
Minor sculpt cleanups
* Moved the (previously extern) declarations of the brush icon data to ED_datafiles.h
* Set sculpt tool RNA to alphabetical order, quite a long list now
* Fix: unify strength and size did work consistently with other paint modes
* Fix: If [ and ] keys were used to resize a brush it was not possible to increase the size of the brush if it went under 10 pixels
* Fix: Made interpretation of brush size consistent across all modes, Texture/Image paint interpreted brush size as the diameter while all the other modes interpret it as radius
* Fix: The default spacing for vertex paint brushes was 3%, should be 10%
* Fix: due to fixes to unified strength, re-enabled 'Unify Size' by default
* Fix: Unified size and strength were stored in UserPrefs, moved this to ToolSettings
* Fix: The setting of pressure sensitivity was not unified when strength or size were unified. Now the appropriate pressure sensitivity setting is also unified across all brushes when corresponding unification option is selected
* Fix: When using [ and ] to resize the brush it didn't immediately redraw
* Fix: fkey resizing/"re-strength-ing" was not working consistently accross all paint modes due to only sculpt mode having full support for unified size and strength, now it works properly.
* Fix: other paint modes did expose the ability to have a custom brush colors, so I added the small bit of code to allow it. Note: I made all of the other paint mode brushes white. Note2: Actually, probably want to make the paint modes use the selected color for painting instead of a constant brush color.
* I had removed OPTYPE_REGISTER from some Sculpt/Paint operators but in this commit I add them back. I'm not completely sure what this option does so I don't want to disturb it for now.
* Turned off 'Front-Face Only' for all brushes, it needs more testing
* Added brush icons for other paint modes
* Moved 'tool' panel to bottom of all paint modes
* Moved 'appearance' panel to be next to bottom
* Moved brush selector panel to top of all modes
* Closed all panels except the brush selector panel
* Turned off X symmetry
* Default icons can be selected from a menu
* Option to make a custom icon from a file is present but the UI is disabled because of a mysterious crash
* New startup.blend that has the appropriate icons selected
* First, try to load the file from the given filename. This is either absolute or relative to the current .blend
* If file is found using the given filename directly then look for the file in the datafiles/brushicons directory (local, user, or system).
* Note: This commit does not update the .blend to reference the default icons
* Note: This commit does not make sure that the build system copies the default icons to the 2.52/datafiles/brushicons directory
Rotations are now stored internally as radians, while exposing degrees in the UI -
in the graph editor and UI controls. This is done in two areas:
1) Using the unit system to convert RNA data to display as degrees in the UI controls
2) FCurves now use degrees for rotation, so you can edit in the graph editor what
you see in the UI.
All rotation data is consistently accessible in DNA and RNA as radians, degrees are only
used for the UI controls and graph editor.
This commit includes conversions will convert old files (stored data and also fcurve data)
to the new units, hopefully everything should go smoothly!
Part of this also changes a few properties that were hard-coded as degrees before (such
as IK pole angle and brush texture rotation) to also use the same consistent system of
radians (dna/rna) and degrees (ui).
Thanks to Joshua for hints and review here too.
This changes how textures are accessed from Brushes, with the intention of simplifying
the workflow, and reducing the amount of clicking. Rather than the previous texture slots
(which didn't work as a stack anyway), brushes now have a single texture linked. Rather
than taking time having to set up your slots in advance, you can now select and change
textures directly as you sculpt/paint on the fly. For complex brushes, node textures can
be used, or for fast access, it's easy to make a duplicate of your brush with the texture
you like and assign a hotkey.
Brush textures can now be chosen from a new Textures panel in the brush tool
properties - click on the thumbnail to open a texture selector. This is done using a new
variation on the ID template - the number of rows and columns to display in the popup
can be customised in the UI scripts.
* Property update functions no longer get context, instead they get only
Main and Scene. The RNA api was intended to be as context-less as
possible, since it doesn't really matter who is changing the property,
everything that uses the property should be updated.
* There's still one exception case that use it now, screen operations
still depend on context too much. It also revealed a few places using
context where they shouldn't.
* Ideally Scene shouldn't be passed, but much of Blender still depends on
it, should be dropped when we try to support multiple scene editing.
Change was planned for a while, but need this now to be able to call
update without a context pointer.
After testing and feedback, I've decided to slightly modify the way color
management works internally. While the previous method worked well for
rendering, was a smaller transition and had some advantages over this
new method, it was a bit more ambiguous, and was making things difficult
for other areas such as compositing.
This implementation now considers all color data (with only a couple of
exceptions such as brush colors) to be stored in linear RGB color space,
rather than sRGB as previously. This brings it in line with Nuke, which also
operates this way, quite successfully. Color swatches, pickers, color ramp
display are now gamma corrected to display gamma so you can see what
you're doing, but the numbers themselves are considered linear. This
makes understanding blending modes more clear (a 0.5 value on overlay
will not change the result now) as well as making color swatches act more
predictably in the compositor, however bringing over color values from
applications like photoshop or gimp, that operate in a gamma space,
will give identical results.
This commit will convert over existing files saved by earlier 2.5 versions to
work generally the same, though there may be some slight differences with
things like textures. Now that we're set on changing other areas of shading,
this won't be too disruptive overall.
I've made a diagram explaining the pipeline here:
http://mke3.net/blender/devel/2.5/25_linear_workflow_pipeline.png
and some docs here:
http://www.blender.org/development/release-logs/blender-250/color-management/
* 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.
Editors Modules
* render/ module added in editors, moved the preview render code there and
also shading related operators.
* physics/ module made more consistent with other modules. renaming files,
making a single physics_ops.c for operators and keymaps. Also move all
particle related operators here now.
* space_buttons/ now should have only operators relevant to the buttons
specificially.
Updates & Notifiers
* Material/Texture/World/Lamp can now be passed to DAG_id_flush_update,
which will go back to a callback in editors. Eventually these should
be in the depsgraph itself, but for now this gives a unified call for
doing updates.
* GLSL materials are now refreshed on changes. There's still various
cases missing,
* Preview icons now hook into this system, solving various update cases
that were missed before.
* Also fixes issue in my last commit, where some preview would not render,
problem is avoided in the new system.
Icon Rendering
* On systems with support for non-power of two textures, an OpenGL texture
is now used instead of glDrawPixels. This avoids problems with icons get
clipped on region borders. On my Linux desktop, this gives an 1.1x speedup,
and on my Mac laptop a 2.3x speedup overall in redrawing the full window,
with the default setup. The glDrawPixels implementation on Mac seems to
have a lot of overhread.
* Preview icons are now drawn using proper premul alpha, and never faded so
you can see them clearly.
* Also tried to fix issue with texture node preview rendering, globals can't
be used with threads reliably.
- remove falloff setting now the curve is used.
- bugfix for airbrush & tablet, with no movement it would assume 1.0 pressure.
- rna, use the use_* prefix for brush options.
* PROP_NEVER_NULL is now a flag instead of a subtype.
* It works for function parameters too now, so setting
this flag can help avoid NULL checks in the function.
* Renamed LocalLamp to PointLamp, making it consistent
with the UI name.
* Set icons for the different lamp struct types.
*Changed Sculpt Modes Flip Direction to an enum so that you can explicitly choose Add or Subtract.
*Expanded the sculpt tool list. I realize Nicolas has a longer term plan for the brush tools, but at least now it's useable again.
* Added UI for brush stroke. Contains for now spacing and smooth stroke
* Removed Sculpt UI for airbrush -- doesn't do anything in sculpt mode
* Improved smooth stroke by using float instead of int precision, so smooth stroke is even smoother now
* Added a new Paint type in scene DNA. This is now the base struct for Sculpt.
* The Paint type contains a list of Brushes, you can add or remove these much like material and texture slots.
* Modified the UI for the new Paint type, now shows the list of brushes active for this mode
* Added a New Brush operator, shows in the UI as a list of brush tool types to add
* Made the sculpt tool property UI smaller and not expanded, expectation is that we will have a number of preset brushes that will cover the basic sculpt brush types
TODO:
* Vertex paint, weight paint, texture paint need to be converted to this system next
* Add brush presets to the default blend
* Moved the brush texture settings to MTex/TextureSlot. The mapping settings now show up in the texture panel, pretty much like they do for textures used with materials.
TODO:
* Tiled mode should not show Z size setting
* Add a locked mode so that texture size can be changed uniformly like in 2.4x
* 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.
