The material importer now always attempts to pack textures
of any texture image node that were created, even if the UMM
conversion was only partially complete, since it is useful
to render a parially-constructed material. For example,
if the material has a valid color texture but the
normal texture is missing, we still want to load the color
texture in the viewport, regardless of any UMM error due
to the missing normal texture.
Now setting camera focal length and aperature
in tenths of scene units on export, to match recently
added behavior scaling these camera properties on
import. Also, no longer setting film offset properties
to tenths of scene units on import, as this was causing
incorrect offsets.
Operator UX adjusted to group functionality into panels
for groupings of related settings.
Some defaults have been adjusted. Not all options in the
Operators may be visible in the new UI, instead allowing
their defaults to become the only behavior. However, those
options are not removed from the Operators so that script
authors can take advantage of the extra flexibility.
Fixed two errors introduced during the last merge with
main:
- The mtl_name_collision_mode property was incorrectly
drawn in two places.
- The set_material_blend is now correctly disabled when
importing USD Preview Surface shaders.
Change authored by Charles Wardlaw.
UI for export is now split into multiple collapsible tool
panels on the right side. Added a function to io_ops.c to
facilitate this, as there is no current API for this
(checked with the BF).
As per discussions, defaults have also been updated and
some options, while remaining available through the
Python API for the operator, are now removed from the
Export list.
Updated the code to invoke the USD asset resolver
for texture import and export. This removes the
assumption that assets are specified as file system
paths.
Added logic to allow importing textures from paths that
are not package relative. The new heuristics will attempt
to import files that don't exist on the file system, but
which can be resolved with the USD asset resolver, to
allow importing textures from URIs.
The light tree itself is disabled on the AMD GPUs due to a compiler issue.
There are couple of places where this was not fully checked:
- The `light_sample` function in the kernel.
- The light threshold during synchronization
The former one is solved as easy as just adding an ifdef block.
The latter one is solved by delaying the threshold assignment for
later on.
Pull Request #105022
This commit implements described in the #104573.
The goal is to fix the confusion of the submodule hashes change, which are not
ideal for any of the supported git-module configuration (they are either always
visible causing confusion, or silently staged and committed, also causing
confusion).
This commit replaces submodules with a checkout of addons and addons_contrib,
covered by the .gitignore, and locale and developer tools are moved to the
main repository.
This also changes the paths:
- /release/scripts are moved to the /scripts
- /source/tools are moved to the /tools
- /release/datafiles/locale is moved to /locale
This is done to avoid conflicts when using bisect, and also allow buildbot to
automatically "recover" wgen building older or newer branches/patches.
Running `make update` will initialize the local checkout to the changed
repository configuration.
Another aspect of the change is that the make update will support Github style
of remote organization (origin remote pointing to thy fork, upstream remote
pointing to the upstream blender/blender.git).
Pull Request #104755
This patch adds initial support for compute shaders to
the vulkan backend. As the development is oriented to the test-
cases we have the implementation is limited to what is used there.
It has been validated that with this patch that the following test
cases are running as expected
- `GPUVulkanTest.gpu_shader_compute_vbo`
- `GPUVulkanTest.gpu_shader_compute_ibo`
- `GPUVulkanTest.gpu_shader_compute_ssbo`
- `GPUVulkanTest.gpu_storage_buffer_create_update_read`
- `GPUVulkanTest.gpu_shader_compute_2d`
This patch includes:
- Allocating VkBuffer on device.
- Uploading data from CPU to VkBuffer.
- Binding VkBuffer as SSBO to a compute shader.
- Execute compute shader and altering VkBuffer.
- Download the VkBuffer to CPU ram.
- Validate that it worked.
- Use device only vertex buffer as SSBO
- Use device only index buffer as SSBO
- Use device only image buffers
GHOST API has been changed as the original design was created before
we even had support for compute shaders in blender. The function
`GHOST_getVulkanBackbuffer` has been separated to retrieve the command
buffer without a backbuffer (`GHOST_getVulkanCommandBuffer`). In order
to do correct command buffer processing we needed access to the queue
owned by GHOST. This is returned as part of the `GHOST_getVulkanHandles`
function.
Open topics (not considered part of this patch)
- Memory barriers & command buffer encoding
- Indirect compute dispatching
- Rest of the test cases
- Data conversions when requested data format is different than on device.
- GPUVulkanTest.gpu_shader_compute_1d is supported on AMD devices.
NVIDIA doesn't seem to support 1d textures.
Pull-request: #104518
Contributed by Yulia Kuznetcova at Apple.
NanoVDB is patched to give add address spaces required by Metal. We hope that
in the future Metal will support the generic address space.
For AMD and Intel this is currently not available since it causes a performance
regression also on scenes without volumes.
Pull Request #104837
Alternatively this could use `ASSET_LIBRARY_ALL` like
`add_node_search.cc`, but then it would need a different
method for skipping duplicate local assets.
Mandatory change for the Brush Assets project, from quick test does not
seem to break anything (more) in existing 'old' brushes...
Re. #101908.
Pull Request #105016
This adds support for cursor snapping for the new curves object.
It implements a function `transverts_from_curves_positions_create` (to separate the logic from the `Curves` object type). That function is then C wrapped by `ED_curves_transverts_create` and finally used in `ED_transverts_create_from_obedit`.
