Although this wasn't so obvious since it
only showed up for factory settings and in the preferences window.
Panel display order depends on registration order,
Sorry for the noise. On the bright side we no longer need to move
classes around to re-arrange panels.
This commit adds a way to debug Cycles motion blur issues which
are usually happening due to something crazy happening in between
of frames. Biggest trouble was that artists had no clue about
what's happening in subframes before they render. This is at
least inefficient workflow when dealing with motion blur shots
with complex animation.
Now there is an option in Time Line Editor which could be found
in View -> Show Subframe. This option will expose current frame
with it's subframe to the time line editor header and it'll allow
scrubbing with a subframe precision in time line editor.
Please note that none of the tools in Blender are aware of
subframe, so they'll likely be using current integer frame still.
This is something we don't consider a bug for now, the whole
purpose for now is to give a tool for investigation. Eventually
we'll likely tweak all tools to be aware of subframe.
Hopefully now we can finish the movie here in the studio..
* Reshuffled code for existing "View Frame" implementations, and removed leftover
comment from some of the the copy-and-paste used to build it.
* Added support for this operator in the NLA and Timeline
* Don't show name of keyframe type in timeline header. It's getting a bit too crowded
for that, so just show the keyframe icon. Hopefully that will be enough.
* Tweaked the tooltip and label to make it clearer what the setting is for
The new "default keyframe type" dropdown on the timeline header
(and also the "Keyframe Type" operator/properties in other places)
now has procedurally generated icons which reflect what that keyframe
type will look like when rendered in the Dope Sheet.
This was achieved using the ancient "VICON" (vector icon) stuff
that's lurking around in the dark parts of UI code. From memory,
the only other things that use (or used to use) this stuff included
some of the triangle icons for some dropdown buttons, or something
like that.
Notes:
* Theme colour changes are reflected immediately by these icons.
This is possible because they are all drawn procedurally
* These icons scale with the DPI setting. I manually guessed the size of
these icons. They can be adjusted further if needed.
* I've documented the steps for adding voodoo icons like this on the wiki
(http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:2.7/Source/Checklists/Vector_Icon)
* It's true that the rendering of these keyframes doesn't quite fit the rest
of the icons in the UI. However, since we're just leveraging the standard
keyframe drawing methods (to avoid discreptancies between the two), we'll
leave it as such for now. Maybe later we can consider blending in a bit of
the glossy keyframe icons in the Icon Sheet?
To make it easier for animators working in a multipass pose-to-pose workflow
when inserting breakdown keyframes and so forth, it is now possible to specify
the "type" of keyframe being created (i.e. the colour of the keyframe, when drawn
in the Dope Sheet).
Usage:
1) Choose the type of keyframe ("Keyframe", "Breakdown", "Extreme", etc.) from
the new dropdown located between the AutoKeying and KeyingSet widgets on the
timeline header.
2) Insert keyframes
3) Rejoyce that your newly created keyframes have now been coloured for you already
in the DopeSheet.
Todo:
* Look into a way of using the actual keyframe colours (from the theme) for the icons
of these types.
The "Layered" option for auto keyframing will create a new NLA strip if playback
reaches the end of the frame range and jumps back again. The idea is that instead
of overwriting the keyframes you've already made, it will make a new animation
layer. However, this does not work with the "Insert Available Only" option
(which can either be set in the User Prefs, or in the active keyingset), as that
option needs some existing FCurves to tell what it can insert keyframes into.
The "fix" here is to simply not show the offending button in situations where it
cannot be used!
timeline.
When enabled, ipo, dopesheet, NLA, timeline, clip and sequence editors
will follow the current frame during animation. When the cursor reaches
the end of the screen, then the next range of frames of the same width
is displayed.
Organize Maximize/Fullscreen mess and add a new fullscreen mode with no UI
* Maximize Editor: (old Ctrl+Up)
* Full Screen Window: (old Alt + F11)
* Full Screen Editor: new operator (Alt + F10)
* Change Show/Hide Header: (Alt + F9)
When the mode is on moving the mouse near the top right corner of the
editor shows an icon to go back to the normal editor mode.
This was originally intended for the multiview branch, but this
functionality also benefits non-stereo workflows, thus it can be
reviewed and committed independently.
Development notes:
* This includes cleanups in the code to sanitize the naming of
fullscreen/maximize across the window/editor code.
* Originally the idea was to make the window fullscreen as well, but
this idea was dropped.
* You can see the clicking area when debug is 1
* Technically the user can be left with an unfaded icon in the corner
(specially when using a tablet). If we think this is too bad we can
increase the action zone to be the whole screen, or something similar.

Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D678
Made the timeline option to only show keyframes from selected channels/data be a
per-scene setting instead of the per-timeline option it was previously. This makes
it easier for animators working on rigs with multiple bones (especially during the
polishing phase), since now the timeline and jump to keyframe operators use the same
setting to decide which subset of keyframes they need to consider.
By default, this option is enabled by default.
TODO: Extend this to the keyframe status shading on the active object name in the 3D view?
This means when you've got "Lock Frame Selection" option (which is
in the timeline next to the preview range button) you're not able
to go to the frames which are out of current frame range with your
mouse.
TODO: Make it so current frame slider also respects this setting?
Not so much important for tonight.
Notes:
* Made those edits by full checking of py files, so I should have spoted most needed edits, yet it remains quite probable I missed a few ones, we'll fix if/when someone notice it...
* Also made some cleanup "on the road"!
Add read/write/interpolate functions.
In order to get rigid body point cache id from object it's now required to pass the
scene to BKE_ptcache_ids_from_object().
Rigid body cache is drawn in the orange color of the bullet logo.
* Add "Toggle Full Screen" and "Duplicate Area into New Window" operators to the view menu, was missing in those 2 operators. Patch [#33076] by Harley Acheson, thanks.
* Also moved those two operators to the top in text editor, for consistency.
* Code cleanup, removed unneeded code.
* Style cleanup, don't break lines to early
(unless marked as pep8-80 or pep8-120 compliant)
* Keep 1 line after layout declaration empty.
===========================
Commiting camera tracking integration gsoc project into trunk.
This commit includes:
- Bundled version of libmv library (with some changes against official repo,
re-sync with libmv repo a bit later)
- New datatype ID called MovieClip which is optimized to work with movie
clips (both of movie files and image sequences) and doing camera/motion
tracking operations.
- New editor called Clip Editor which is currently used for motion/tracking
stuff only, but which can be easily extended to work with masks too.
This editor supports:
* Loading movie files/image sequences
* Build proxies with different size for loaded movie clip, also supports
building undistorted proxies to increase speed of playback in
undistorted mode.
* Manual lens distortion mode calibration using grid and grease pencil
* Supervised 2D tracking using two different algorithms KLT and SAD.
* Basic algorithm for feature detection
* Camera motion solving. scene orientation
- New constraints to "link" scene objects with solved motions from clip:
* Follow Track (make object follow 2D motion of track with given name
or parent object to reconstructed 3D position of track)
* Camera Solver to make camera moving in the same way as reconstructed camera
This commit NOT includes changes from tomato branch:
- New nodes (they'll be commited as separated patch)
- Automatic image offset guessing for image input node and image editor
(need to do more tests and gather more feedback)
- Code cleanup in libmv-capi. It's not so critical cleanup, just increasing
readability and understanadability of code. Better to make this chaneg when
Keir will finish his current patch.
More details about this project can be found on this page:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Nazg-gul/GSoC-2011
Further development of small features would be done in trunk, bigger/experimental
features would first be implemented in tomato branch.
from Troy Sobotka (sobotka), with edits
- remove Markers from Ctrl+L menu (was out of place here and was broken from recent changes to marker operators)
- further de-duplicte scripts by having all menus call the same function: marker_menu_generic().
this fixes bug [#29083] too.
- Make gettext stuff draw-time. so switching between languages
can happens without restart now.
- Added option to translate visible interface (menus, buttons, labels)
and tooltips. Now it's possible to have english UI and localized tooltips.
- Clean-up sources, do not use gettext stuff for things which can be
collected with RNA.
- Fix issues with windows 64bit and ru_RU locale on my desktop
(it was codepage issue).
- Added operator "Get Messages" which generates new text block with
with all strings collected from RNA.
- Changed script for updating blender.pot so now it appends
messages collected from rna to automatically gathered messages.
To update .pot you have to re-generate messages.txt using "Get Messages"
operator and then run update_pot script.
- Clean up old translation stuff which wasn't used and most probably
wouldn't be used.
- Return back "International Fonts" option, so if it's disabled, no
gettext lookups happens on draw.
- Merged read_homefile function back. No need in splitting it.
TODO:
- Custom fonts and font size.
Current font isn't nice at least for russian locale, it's
difficult to read it.
- Put references to messages.txt so gettext can merge translation when
name/description of some property changes.
* Code cleanup in the space_*.py files.
* Removed layout.column() statement in _MT_ panels, they are useless.
* Only define variables at the beginning of a function!
Committed changes from previous weeks, biggest changes are:
* Canvas can now have multiple "surfaces" that each can have specific format, type and settings.
* Renewed UI to support this new system.
* Aside from old "image sequence" output format, Dynamic Paint can now work on vertex level as well. Currently vertex paint and displace are supported.
* Integrated vertex level painting with Point Cache.
* Added viewport preview for Point Cache surfaces.
Due to massive amount of changes, old Dynamic Paint saves are no longer supported. Also some features are temporarily missing or may not work properly.
