- When returning the number of items in a collection use BLI_*_len()
- Keep _size() for size in bytes.
- Keep _count() for data structures that don't store length
(hint this isn't a simple getter).
See P611 to apply instead of manually resolving conflicts.
This was... horribly wrong, CDDM will often *not* need to allocate
anything to return arrays of mesh items! Just check whether array
pointer is NULL.
Also, remove `DM_get_looptri_array`, that one is useless currently,
`dm->getLoopTriArray` will always return cached array (computing it if
needed).
The release of these arrays should be the programmer's discretion since these arrays can continue to be used.
Only the expanded functions `bvhtree_from_mesh_edges_ex` and `bvhtree_from_mesh_looptri_ex` are currently being used in blender (in mesh_remap.c), and from what I could to analyze, these changes can prevent a crash.
Instead of reference the vertex first and test the bitmap afterwards. Test the bitmap first and reference the vertex after.
In a mesh with 31146 vertices and the entire bitmap disabled, the loop time is 243% faster
With all bitmap enabled, the time becomes 463473% faster!!!
One possible reason for this huge difference in peformance is that maybe the compiler is not putting the function "BM_vert_at_index" inline (I dont know if buildbot do this, but it's good to investigate).
changes in BLI_kdopbvh:
- `BLI_bvhtree_find_nearest_to_ray` now takes is_ray_normalized and scale argument.
- `BLI_bvhtree_find_nearest_to_ray_angle` has been added (use for perspective view).
changes in BLI_bvhutils:
- `bvhtree_from_editmesh_edges_ex` was added.
changes in math_geom:
- `dist_squared_ray_to_seg_v3` was added.
other changes:
- `do_ray_start_correction` is no longer necessary to snap to verts.
- the way in which the test of depth was done before is being simulated in callbacks.
Separate the creation of trees from EditMesh from the creation of trees from DerivedMesh.
This was meant to simplify the API, but didn't work out so well.
`bvhtree_from_mesh_*` actually is working as `bvhtree_from_derivedmesh_*`.
This is inconsistent with the trees created from EditMesh. Since for create them does not use the DerivedMesh.
In such cases the dm is being used only to cache the tree in the struct DerivedMesh. What is immediately released once
bvhtree is being used in functions that change(tag) the DM cleaning the cache.
- Use a filter function so users of SnapObjectContext can define how edit-mesh elements are handled.
- Remove em_evil.
- bvhtree of EditMesh is now really cached in the snap functions.
- Code becomes organized and easier to maintain.
This is an important patch for future improvements in snapping functions.
Own regression caused by fix for T46067,
edit-mode bvh only contained unselected faces.
This commit adds support for an edit-mode bvh containing all faces.
By default watertight intersections are used,
For callbacks where its not needed,
BLI_bvhtree_ray_cast_ex can be called without the BVH_RAYCAST_WATERTIGHT flag.
Fixes T45286
You can now use lower-level '_ex' versions of bvh creators to only use part of
the mesh's elements in the BVH, and/or create bvh from non-DM sources.
Needed for transfer data.
Note edges extend version of bvh creator is not added here, not needed so far.
The issue was caused by the temporary CD layers being allocated for subsurf
meshes, same as we've got back in 881fb43.
In the long run this temporary storage is to be re-considered, but it'll also
imply re-considering of the Derivedmesh interaction as well. For now let's
use a simpler solution which is forbidding modifiers to call getArray for other
objects' derivedMeshes but use an API calls which would allocate local copy of
the data preventing race condition of shared data in DM.
There were couple of reasons why it wasn't safe for usage from
multiple threads.
First of all, it was trying to cache BVH in derived mesh, which
wasn't safe because multiple threads might have requested BVH
tree and simultaneous reading and writing to the cache became a
big headache.
Solved this with RW lock so now access to BVH cache is safe.
Another issue is causes by the fact that it's not guaranteed
DM to have vert/edge/face arrays pre-allocated and when one
was calling functions like getVertDataArray() array could
have been allocated and marked as temporary. This is REALLY
bad, because NO ONE is ever allowed to modify data which
doesn't belong to him. This lead to situations when multiple
threads were using BVH tree and they run into race condition
with this temporary allocated arrays.
Now bvhtree owns allocated arrays and keeps track of them, so
no race condition happens with temporary data stored in the
derived mesh. This solved threading issues and likely wouldn't
introduce noticeable slowdown. Even when DM was keeping track
of this arrays, they were re-allocated on every BVH creation
anyway, because those arrays were temporary and were freed
with dm->release() call.
We might re-consider this a bit and make it so BVH trees are
allocated when DM itself is being allocated based on the DAG
layout, but that i'd consider an optimization and not something
we need to do 1st priority.
Fixes crash happening with 05_4g_track.blend from Mango after
the threaded object update landed to master.
Developer note:
BVHTREE_FROM_FACES was being used for both edit-mesh and derived-mesh
bvh-trees, this could cause index lookup errors in editmode.
Fix by adding a new type for editmesh so theres no confusion.
