"convert to triangles" check for shortest diagonal to decide how the
triangles will be made.
Fun todo for another occasion; check on facenormals too...
with "loose" edges (edges without a face) and drawing in
solid mode. they would either not draw, or draw with a nasty
selection outline. Added a ME_LOOSEEDGE flag to mark such
edges in displists/mesh and editmode sets it.
- changed DerivedMesh drawEdges to take an argument whether
it should draw loose edges or not
There were a couple of issues with the implementation:
- there was no proper test if selected strips would be cut or not
- cutting meta strips could go very wrong... for example when the cut
of meta was in an internal gap. With meta's being recursive, and too
complex, I've disabled Meta-cutting
- added an OK menu for hotkey K
- added warnings when no cut was done
This is the first time in 6 years I do work in sequencer... man, this has
grown into a messy bizz! Like sequence variables... using names like:
start, startdisp, startstill, startoffs... totally confusing here. Could
use giant cleanup! Implementation was weak from scratch though, Mea Culpa!
- removed {lattice,curve}_modifier functions
- changed render code to use displist for curve rendering
instead of making its own. required adding a bevelSplitFlag
field to DispList. I also fixed the bevel face splitting
which did not work correctly in many situations.
- changed so all curve data creation happens in makeDispListCurveTypes,
includes making bevel list and filling polys
- changed render code to use displist for surface rendering
- removed Curve.orco variable, built as needed now
- removed stupid BLI_setScanFill* functions... why use a function
argument when you can use a global and two functions! Why indeed.
(this fixed crash when reloading a file with filled curves and
toggling editmode)
- bug fix, setting curve width!=1 disabled simple bevel for no
apparent reason
- cleaned up lots and lots of curve/displist code (fun example:
"if(dl->type==DL_INDEX3 || dl->type==DL_INDEX3)"). Hmmm!
- switched almost all lattice calls to go through lattice_deform_verts,
only exception left is particles
- added DBG_show_shared_render_faces function in render, just
helps to visualize which verts are shared while testing (no
user interface).
- renamed some curve bevel buttons and rewrote tooltips to be
more obvious
- made CU_FAST work without dupfontbase hack
Also by the way I wrote down some notes on how curve code
works, nothing spiffy but it is at:
http://wiki.blender.org/bin/view.pl/Blenderdev/CurveNotes
- PoseMode selection accidentally always selected first bone as well (on
multiple clicks)
- Hinge Bone didn't have correct inverse matrix in transform, for local
rotations.
- On duplicating bones in editmode, names with a dot in it (bone.L) lost
the .L extension. Now it keeps it
- Recoded the 'flip name' routine from scratch, was a horrid construct!
It works now as follows;
1) First it removes the number extension, if its there (like .001)
2) Then it checks for a separator (space, dot, minus, underscore) on either
the 2nd position (L_calfbone) or last-but-one (calfbone.R). If there's an
l, r, L or R it switches the letter.
3) If no switch done yet, it tries if a name starts or ends with "left" or
"right", case insensitive. It replaces this, disregarding separator.
Examples:
Lefthand -> Righthand
L Hand.005 -> R Hand
hand.r -> hand.l
right-l -> right-r
pelvis LEFT -> pelvis RIGHT
really work at all. Fortunately no one actually *USES* nurbs so
no one noticed. This is bug from NaN days (strubi, I am looking at
you here) which I guess says a lot (or a little) about NURBS usage.
And as usual, the correct code is shorter.
- added do_version copy of ME_OPT_EDGES flag
- added ME_EDGERENDER flag, barely changes things atm except makes
sure plain meshes with FasterDraw/etc set still render all edges.
The edge drawing system needs a bit of a revamping - it is a cool
feature but could use several improvements:
(1) The algorithm could be better in choosing the best edges to
draw.
(2) The drawflags should interact well with modifiers. It is wierd
to have a large grid with a deformer that draws no edges because
flags are only calculated based on base mesh.
(3) Drawflags should not be destroyed by editmode. Better design
would be a "Draw % of edges" button.
Of course, could also be the feature is not worth it and we
should just drop. Feel free to comment if you have an opinion.
I removed config.h code from the files that had them.
effect.c had nested /* so cleaned that up...
added a newline to vector.c to shut gcc up ;)
buttons_editing.c had a possible unintalized var (height) so I gave
it a default value.
removed an unused var i in interface_draw.c
removed an unused var mti in outliner.c
in BL_SkinDeformer.cpp
commented out a call to bDeformGroup->data which no longer exists so it
compiles again.

sticky, dvert, and keys if number of verts don't match)
- changed modifier panel to not allow manual addition of hook or
softbody modifiers
- changed apply modifier to apply to existing mesh (fixes bug with
materials) and to warn about loss of tface/mcol/keys/dvert/sticky
for all modifier types
- changed modifier UI to not display disclosure triangle for virtual
modifiers
- changed softbody ui to allow enable/disable
wondered what these silly data pointers in MDeformVert were for.
Turns out they aren't even need! Just taking up extra memory and
space and confusing the armature deform algorithm. Naturally I
had to clean things up. Sorry Ton.
Deform weights are still stored in a pretty expensive and unnecessary
way, probably use about twice as much memory as needed, and do
way too many memory allocs.
- moved armature_deform_verts into armature.c
- some python code accessed the MDeformWeight data pointers, but
did so in a completely wrong way, I am positive this code could
never have worked (or maybe things changed during tons refactor),
regardless it wouldn't work now... will test later.
but including "virtual" modifiers (for example, an object skel-parented
to a lattice has a virtual first lattice modifier)
- removed mesh_modifier(), all functionality has been incorporated into
modifier stack (well, keys still don't exist as a modifier, but I am
not sure if they should).
- added interface option to convert a virtual modifier into a real modifier
- added option to parent to lattice object or lattice with deform
- bug fix, patch of hook indices patched all hooks (oops) not just ones
for edited mesh
NOTE: Files saved with 2.38 that include an object parented to a lattice
will not load correctly, because it will look like the object is parented
only to the object (i.e. without deform). Can be simply fixed by reparenting
or adding a lattice modifier. Older files are handled automatically.
variables, these are still in same place. enable button automatically
makes/enables modifier.
- changed hook to hook modifier conversion to happen on direct link,
required to make sure we don't forget to free any memory for files
saved with 2.38 that have hooks.
- update modifier interface to enforce modifiers with the require-original-
data flag to not move beyond deforming modifiers.
- enforce only one softbody modifier allowed
NOTE: Once again, no modifier stack for lattice yet means softbody for
lattice does not work atm.
indices that are out of range
- bug fix, hook indicies were not corrected on exit editmode (there
probably should be a general interface for this kind of patch)
can only follow deform (for example, they store mesh vertex
indices)
- added ModifierType.foreachObjectLink for iterating over Object
links inside modifier data (used for file load, relinking, etc)
- switched various modifiers_ functions to take object argument
instead of ListBase
- added user editable name field to modifiers
- bug fix, duplicate and make single user didn't relink object
pointers in modifier data
- added modifiers to outliner, needs icon
- added armature, hook, and softbody modifiers (softbody doesn't
do anything atm). added conversion of old hooks to modifiers.
NOTE-THE-FIRST: User name field is not initialized on loading 2.38 files
so if you have saved stuff with a cvs blender you will see blank names.
NOTE-THE-SECOND: Since modifiers aren't evaluated yet for non-Mesh
objects, hooks for lattices and curves are broken. Don't updated if
you actually, say, *use* Blender.
NOTE-THE-THIRD: Old hooks used a quirky weighting system during
deformation which can't be extended to modifiers. On the upside,
I doubt anyone relied on the old quirky system and the new system
makes much more sense. (Although the way falloff works is still
quite stupid I think).
- added several useful utility functions to editmesh,
these can simplify/clarify a lot of mesh code, check them
out
- cleaned up EdgeSlide a bit to be clearer/shorter
o bug fix, EdgeSlide did not always cancel correctly
o bug fix, EdgeSlide did not choose initial "control" edge
correctly after calc_meshverts_ext change
worked properly with modifiers. Needs more testing I am sure.
No, honestly, I wasn't just cleaning for the hell of it, it
was *necessary* (I would never do such a thing). Selection should
work completely with cage options of modifiers now.
- added DerivedMesh foreach functions to iterate over mapped
verts/edges/face centers. These replaced some of the drawing
functions and are more general anyway. Special edge drawing
functions remain for performance reasons.
- removed EditFace xs, ys fields
- added general functions to iterate over screen coordinates of
mesh/curve/lattice objects
- removed all calc_*verts* functions that were used for storing
screen coordinates in objects. they were recalc'd on the fly
for most situations anyway, so now we just always do that.
calc_*verts_ext was one of those calls that did dirty things
deep down in the callstack (changing curarea and poking at
matrices)
- rewrote all vertex level selection routines (circle, lasso, bbox)
and closest vertex routines (rightmouse select) to use the new
system. This cleaned up the selection code a lot and the structure
of selection is much easier to see now. This is good for future
work on allowing modifiers to completely override the selection
system. It also points out some discrepancies in the way selection
is handled that might be nice to resolve (mesh vertex selection has
fancy stuff to try to help with selecting overlapping, but it only
works w/o bbuf select, and curves/lattices don't have at all).
- had to remove ton's code to move Manipulator to cage location, this
is not reliable (can come up with a different method if requested)
- as it happens BezTriple.s and BPoint.s are basically available to
be removed, just need to rewrite editipo code that still does
background calc of screen coordinates
- MVert.{xs,ys} are still around because they are abused in some places
for other info (not sure if this is safe actually, since they are
short's and the mvert limit went up).
And did I mention this commit is comes out to -305 lines? Well it does.
- switch to using DerivedMesh.drawMappedFaceCentersEM to draw
face dots, still need to do some work so this works in all
selection modes (atm it does not work in no-zbuf mode)
SUBDIV_SELECT_ORIG - Retain selection to look like original selection
SUBDIV_SELECT_INNER - New selection is all the new inner edges
SUBDIV_SELECT_INNER_SEL - New selection is all the new inner edges except where only 1 edges was selected on a face
Loopcut now uses SUBDIV_SELECT_INNER_SEL for better interaction with edgeslide
- add new scene, "Full Copy", didn't copy radio settings
- switch scene didn't reset radiosity baking
(note that you can only do 1 radiosity scene in Blender, switch scene
will free the radiosity data)
Selecting in Mesh edit mode or in FaceSelect mode is tied, but setting
faces hidden was not tied. This caused hidden faces in edit mode to
become selected, with all associated disasters. :)
Now hiding faces in editmode and faceselect are tied too. Please note
that leaving faceselect mode will unhide always!
