- disable running scripts automatically
- set sequencer image preview
- added a 3D viewport in the python script screen & selected 'Text' in the next editor.
- enable stamp rendertime by default. (stamp its self is disabled)
- set the stamp font size to 12 (was 8, too small)
also set the default font size to 12 for new scenes.
This commit restores the 'Playback FPS' option which showed an indicator of the frame rate of animation playback in the 3D-View.
The info for this is now stored in a temp struct in scene data, with the status info being updated by the "animation step" operator instead of relying on globals as the old code did. This seems a lot more stable than in 2.49, but the accuracy is still questionable.
- recode of the whole sequencer audio handling
- encode audio flag removed, instead you choose None as audio codec, added None for video codec too
- ffmpeg formats/codecs: enabled: theora, ogg, vorbis; added: matroska, flac (not working, who can fix?), mp3, wav
- sequencer wave drawing
- volume animation (now also working when mixing down to a file!)
- made sequencer strip position and length values unanimatable
levels, child particles, and shadow/SSS/AO quality.. Now also works on what
is displayed in the 3d view instead of only rendering, see panel in the scene
properties.
Most file changes were to make scene available in the isDisabled modifier
callback function.
Now the default eye separation value is 0.10 (reasonable for games with 1 meter == 1 B.U.
The focallength used is the camera focal length (DOF settings). It allow you to even use different focal lengths for different scenes (good for UI)
In order to change it you can change the camera focal length or use Rasterizer.setFocalLength.
If you use the Rasterizer method it will use this value for all the cameras.
ToDo:
- Blenderplayer settings
- Update wiki documentation (any volunteer)?
* Note to stereo fans:
I don't have a real stereo environment to test it (other than cheap cyan-red glasses). If you can give it a try in a more robust system and report bugs or problems with BGE current system please let me know. I would be glad to help to make it work 100% by the time Blender 2.5 is out.
For the record, BGE is using the method known as 'parallel axis asymmetric frustum perspective projection'. This method is well documented here:
http://local.wasp.uwa.edu.au/~pbourke/miscellaneous/stereographics/stereorender/
Currently access by selecting a marking and binding with the active camera from the view menu.
Note:
after long discussion we decieded there is no nice way to do this.. animate pointers? animate multiple camera visibility?, use sequencer? use NLA?.... have a kind of event system (like framechange scriptlinks)... etc
so this is ifdef'd with DURIAN_CAMERA_SWITCH
Render layers now use the same consistent 'unique name' function as other parts of Blender (i.e. RenderLayer.001). Updated the defaults for consistency.
The following files were according to the Math Lib reorganization
(see the commit log of revision 24464 for more information):
source/blender/freestyle/intern/blender_interface/BlenderFileLoader.cpp
source/blender/freestyle/intern/blender_interface/BlenderFileLoader.h
The file release/scripts/ui/properties_render.py was also updated
according the RNA UI API renaming in revision 24795.
* Set default particleedit selection mode in add scene (TODO: not yet changed in the default blend)
* Corrected names for particleedit selection mode in RNA, added icons
* Added occlude geometry flag to view3d RNA
* Converted particleedit buttons to uiItems in view3d header
* Convert all code to use new functions.
* Branch maintainers may want to skip this commit, and run this
conversion script instead, if they use a lot of math functions
in new code:
http://www.pasteall.org/9052/python
* Unified scene wide gravity (currently in scene buttons)
instead of each simulation having it's own gravity.
* Weight parameters for all effectors and an effector group
setting.
* Every effector can use noise.
* Most effectors have "shapes" point, plane, surface, every point.
- "Point" is most like the old effectors and uses the
effector location as the effector point.
- "Plane" uses the closest point on effectors local xy-plane
as the effector point.
- "Surface" uses the closest point on an effector object's
surface as the effector point.
- "Every Point" uses every point in a mesh effector object
as an effector point.
- The falloff is calculated from this point, so for example
with "surface" shape and "use only negative z axis" it's
possible to apply force only "inside" the effector object.
* Spherical effector is now renamed as "force" as it's no longer
just spherical.
* New effector parameter "flow", which makes the effector act as
surrounding air velocity, so the resulting force is
proportional to the velocity difference of the point and "air
velocity". For example a wind field with flow=1.0 results in
proper non-accelerating wind.
* New effector fields "turbulence", which creates nice random
flow paths, and "drag", which slows the points down.
* Much improved vortex field.
* Effectors can now effect particle rotation as well as location.
* Use full, or only positive/negative z-axis to apply force
(note. the z-axis is the surface normal in the case of
effector shape "surface")
* New "force field" submenu in add menu, which adds an empty
with the chosen effector (curve object for corve guides).
* Other dynamics should be quite easy to add to the effector
system too if wanted.
* "Unified" doesn't mean that force fields give the exact same results for
particles, softbody & cloth, since their final effect depends on many external
factors, like for example the surface area of the effected faces.
Code changes
* Subversion bump for correct handling of global gravity.
* Separate ui py file for common dynamics stuff.
* Particle settings updating is flushed with it's id through
DAG_id_flush_update(..).
Known issues
* Curve guides don't yet have all ui buttons in place, but they
should work none the less.
* Hair dynamics don't yet respect force fields.
Other changes
* Particle emission defaults now to frames 1-200 with life of 50
frames to fill the whole default timeline.
* Many particles drawing related crashes fixed.
* Sometimes particles didn't update on first frame properly.
* Hair with object/group visualization didn't work properly.
* Memory leaks with PointCacheID lists (Genscher, remember to
free pidlists after use :).
* #19501: Only the first user of multi-user IPO's were getting converted to AnimData.
Now, this AnimData gets converted multiple times - once for each user. This will mean that multi-user actions will no longer be multi-user after conversion though, although this could be fixed manually if there really is such a need.
* #19503: Nasty memory leaks when duplicating objects with AnimData
Fixed a few little oversights made when coding the copying code for NLA-data (which resulted in exponential copying-loops of doom), and sanitised the AnimData copying code for ID-blocks to be simpler to manage.
* Fixed mixdown volume being int instead of float
* Fixed audio muting for sequencer not working
* Added 3D listener settings with RNA (not working in GE yet)
Make local and make single user are back for ID template.
Internally these calls got unified, id_make_local and
id_copy are now used to do these operations for all types
that support it. Also reveals that for some ID types the
implementation is still missing.
Further, some small changes:
* unlink_text is now in blenkernel.
* copy_group was implemented.
* ID template now has an open operator again.
* fix preview to not change material reference count,
even if temporary it shows up with threaded preview.
* id_unlink unifies unlink for text, object and group.
- Baked point caches for particles, cloth and softbody can now be edited in particle mode.
* This overwrites the old cloth/sb cache editmode editing.
* The type of editable system is chosen from a menu.
* For particles the current particle system and it's current cache are used.
- Currently this only works for caches that are in memory, but some automatic conversion from disk to memory and back can be implemented later.
- All tools from hair editing can't be applied to point caches and are hidden in the tool panel and specials menu. Some functionality like subdividing paths can be later implemented in a slightly different way from how it works for hair.
- Code is not yet optimized for speed, so editing might be slow sometimes.
Known issues:
- Cloth doesn't update properly while in particle mode, due to the way cloth modifier currently works. Daniel can you check on this?
- As "particle mode" is not only for particles any more some other name would be in place?
- Better icons are needed for the path, point, and tip-modes as the current icons from mesh edit mode are quite misleading.
- Direct editing of point velocities is not yet implemented, but will be in the future.
Other changes:
- Hair editing doesn't require a "make editable" button press any more.
- Multiple caches in single particle system disables changing emission properties.
- Unified ui code for all point cache panels.
* Defined in buttons_particle.py and imported for cloth, smoke & softbody.
- Proper disabling of properties in ui after baking point caches. (Daniel could you please make needed disable code for smoke panels as their functionality is not familiar to me.)
- Hair weight brush has been removed. Once hair dynamics is re-implemented I'll code a more useable alternative to the functionality.
Bug fixes:
- Unlinking particle settings crashed.
- Deleting the active object with particles in the scene crashed.
- Softbody didn't write point caches correctly on save.
* Shuffled some code around, and renamed some functions used for getting context info
- Split UI-buttons into a separate file from stroke-drawing code
- Removed some obsolete code (i.e. old paint code that used to be in _edit, but which has been moved to _paint).
* Made drawing in 3D-View default to using the active object as the owner of the Grease Pencil data. For now, the drawing code will therefore only show the GP data for the active object only. More work to come on this.
* Fixed freeing code for Objects/Scenes with GP data.
