This was causing proxies updates on every frame, even if they
do not really change. Additionally, it was causing second round
of armature update when used from inside dupligroup (viewport
ensures all objects from dupligroup are up to date before draw).
It's now less confusing (for example, using nr_of_samples directly,
instead of using 1 / 1 / nr_of_samples). Might also have fixed a bug.
Also added unittests.
The scale matrix must have its homogeneous 'w' (at mat[3][3]) set to the
scale in order to also scale the translations along with it. However, this
also scales the transform matrix's 'w' component, which is not supposed
to happen.
The old default values (start/end frame = 1) could have been an actually
desired setting (for example when exporting a non-animated model). To
make this worse, this was only interpreted as "start/end of the scene" by
the export operator when running interactively, but not when run from
Python.
By choosing INT_MIN as default it's highly unlikely that the interval
[start, end) was intended as actual export range.
This way we always have predictable behavior, especially from the
performance point of view. Additionally, if some bottleneck is found
in stack implementation it'll be easier for us to address.
Yep, that got reported... Was slightly more involved than UI message
fixing though: RNA string length getter shall return exact lentgh of
string (same as strlen), not size of allocated buffer to contain it!
Otherwise, NULL final char leaks in and...
DM evaluation code was simply never clearing the `deformedOnly` flag
when evaluating a generative modifier...
Quite astonishing this never got catched before, a lot of particle code
relies on valid value of this flag!!!
The fact that we can end with uninstantiated objects is not expected
currently, but would rather not start chasing all corner cases that may
lead to that situation.
User shall be able to delete uninstantiated objects from Outliner, though!
Properly remap nodes' pointers to copied IDs in copied ntrees.
Note that this only affects root trees, node groups are not concerned
here, since they are assumed to be reusable chunks and hence *not*
duplicated.
The operator is indeed not adding frames but inserting them at the current frame (shifting all subsequent ones). Changed the operator name and description.
Approved by Antonio.
The Issue
=======
For a long time now MinGW has been unsupported and unmaintained and at this point,
it looks like something that we should just leave behind and move on.
Why Remove
==========
One of the big motivations for MinGW back in the day is that it was free compared to MSVC which was licensed based.
However, now that this is no longer true we have basically stopped updating the need CMake files.
Along with the CMake files, there are several patches to the extern libs needed to make this work. For example, see:
https://developer.blender.org/diffusion/B/browse/master/extern/carve/patches/mingw_w64.patch
If we wanted to keep MinGW then we would need to make more custom patches to the external libs and
this is not something our platform maintainers are willing to do.
For example, here is the patches needed to build python: https://github.com/Alexpux/MINGW-packages/tree/master/mingw-w64-python3
Fixes T51301
Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D2648
We had handling of fully duplicated polygons already, but... absolutely
nothing to sanitize partially merged polygons! This were giving us
totally invalid geometry, with duplicated vertices in single poly,
invalid edges, etc.
Now we do check for invalid loops inside polys, and generate new edges
as needed to get only valid polys.
For some reason this was a nightmare to get running fully OK, playing
with old and new indices is really, really mind breaking.
This feature got lost with new auto-track API,
Added it back by extending frame accessor class. This isn't really
a frame thing, but we don't have other type of accessor here.
Surely, we can use old-style API here and pass mask via region
tracker options for this particular case, but then it becomes much
less obvious how real auto-tracker will access this mask with old
style API.
So seems we do need an accessor for such data, just matter of
finding better place than frame accessor.
It's a bit ugly but I couldn't find a better way to keep fast installs and
correct handling of switching between master and blender2.8 with different
lib directories.
