* Viscoelastic springs between the fluid particles can simulate all kinds
of viscous and elastic substances, such as jelly and honey. This is
achieved by creating springs dynamically between neighboring particles
and adjusting their rest length based on stretching/compression.
* This nearly completes the currently intended functionality for particle
fluids. The last missing thing is a surfacing extraction algorithm,
which is needed for a proper representation of a sph fluid.
* I also cleaned up and renamed some of the fluid parameters to make the
ui a bit easier to understand.
* One addition to the patch is an option to use "initial rest length" for
the springs, which uses the lengths between the particles at the time of
spring creation as the spring rest lengths instead of interaction radius/2.
This makes the fluid keep it's original shape better (good for very
viscoelastic materials), but can create large density differences inside
the fluid (not really physically correct for a fluid).
* Viscoelastic springs are stored in point cache as extra data.
* Not strictly necessary right now, but better for future.
* Struct data (only boids at the moment) is now written as structs (with dna) so they work between 64 and 32 bit machines too.
* I've getting bad feelings about the point cache index_array for a while (cause for this bug too), so from now on memory cache uses a simple binary search directly on the index data to handle queries to specific data points.
* This is a bit slower than just checking from a dedicated array, but it's much less error prone, uses less memory and makes the code more readable too, so it's not a tough choice.
This allows manual (point by point) animation of their control verts,
although many other settings cannot really be animated with any
visible effects yet. Interestingly, lattices also had IPO block
pointers, though they were never really used (AFAIK).
Todo:
- Animation Editor support has yet to be added. I've got a few other
things to add to, so will group those changes together.
- skip fixing file paths on undo.
- simplify bpath alloc and free functions, also pass Main structure so as not to rely on G.main, (needed for file load).
- use sizeof() in more places.
- fixed some off by 1 bugs copying strings. setting curve font family for instance was 1 char too short.
- replace strncpy and strcpy with BLI_strncpy
Both stored the filename of the blend file, but G.sce stored the last opened file.
This will make blender act differently in some cases since a relative path to the last opened file will no longer resolve (which is correct IMHO since that file isnt open and the path might not even be valid anymore).
Tested linking with durian files and rendering to relative paths when no files is loaded however we may need to have some operators give an error if they are used on the default startup.blend.
- made interface, windowmanager, readfile build without unused warnings.
- re-arranged CMake's source/blender build order so less changed libs are build later, eg: IK, avi
from Mathew Burrack (mburrack)
...also applied a fix so this flag wont be written but including this patch for older startup.blend's.
--- from the tracker
I've created a patch for the texture path corruption bug, 23337. Basically, G_FILE_RELATIVE_REMAP was improperly getting
saved out to the startup.blend file, causing issues when the autosave timer went off. The proper fix is to mask out
that flag so it doesn't get written out to .blend files itself, but since that doesn't fix any pre-existing startup.blend
files, I just mask it out when startup.blend is read in instead.
I've tested it locally and so far, it seems to fix all the issues I've had with texture image paths getting corrupted.
I haven't figured out how to properly test the remap-on-save option in the save as dialog, though, so I don't know if
I accidentally broke that or not (although I don't see how I could have).
- 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.
* Animation data for meshes wasn't getting saved at all (the linked actions were, but that doesn't really count)
* Lib-linked actions from other files may not load correctly too
- blend load/save uses os message.
- image load gives os message. (remove check for slash at end of line, just let the os report an error)
- python api load image/font/text raise errors with message (was just retuning None for image and font)
- minor edits to py api errors.
- uses same thumbnail system as image browser
- blend files show thumbnails in ubuntu/gnome (freedesktop spec)
- 128x128 images are embedded into the blend file header, a simple loader avoids reading the entire blend file to extract it when generating thumbnails in the file selector.
When the image browser reads a directory it loads images and creates thumbnails, blend files embedded images are treated just like loading an image.
- the thumbnail is created from the camera view in solid mode. (no camera == no thumbnal).
- readfile/writefile.c: had to use the 'TEST' code name to save thumbnails, anything else would segfault older blender versions on load. (its not used elsewhere).
* Take border render into account when drawing grid before for render
result becomes visible.
* Use antialiasing for rendering icon previews.
* Fix Full Sample not drawing render result while rendering.
* Mesh Deform Modifier: also forgot to commit this file.
This patch add SPH (Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics)fluid dynamics to the
blender particle system. SPH is an boundless Lagrangian interpolation
technique to solve the fluid motion equations.
From liquids to sand, goo and gases could be simulated using the particle
system.
It features internal viscosity, a double density relaxation that accounts
for surface tension effects, static internal springs for plastic fluids,
and buoyancy for gases.
---------------------------------------
This is a commit of the core fluid physics. Raul will work on proper
documentation soon and more features such as surface extraction from
the particle point cloud and increasing stability by sub-frame calculations
later.
unrelated changes that ended up being more trouble to commit separate...
- removed BLI_split_dirfile(), was nasty, occasionaly modifying the source string, it could create directories and used the $CWD in some cases. was only used in 2 places in filesel.c, if this gives problems can address without bringing back this function.
renamed BLI_split_dirfile_basic --> BLI_split_dirfile
- view3d_operator_needs_opengl was being called for offscreen render when it wasnt needed.
Old temp-pointers for File Browser instances were not being cleared on file load, resulting in crashes when trying to free temp screen layouts that contained file browser instance data.
