replacing PyWeakref_NewProxy with PyWeakref_NewRef fixes this problem.
list(bpy.data.armatures) # would mess up weakrefs
[arm for arm in bpy.data.armatures] # didnt.
data = arm_ob.data
bones = arm_ob.data.bones.values()
Fixed by returning existing armatures if they exist in the weakref list. tested with FBX and BVH support.
I've added the ability for PyConstraints to define a function (doDriver) that is able to directly modify values of the owner/target, so that certain setups can be created reliably. Users should take note that this is against the basic concept of what a constraint does, and that under no circumstances may they set the values of any variables controlling the transforms. For more details, check out the information in the PyConstraint template script.
I've also updated PyConstraints to be aware of geometry targets. The script template has been updated with this information.
bsystem_time was being called with an extra variable, which was useless. Most of the places that called it, were passing NULL for that variable anyway.
I've also cleaned up that function a bit, but the underlying problems with that part of the code still exist (EVIL GLOBALS that are exported for frame_to_float), for mblur and fields rendering features. That remains for another time.
sceneSequence.h - bad type check, dosnt matter really since that define isnt used yet.
SurfNurb.c - was using lib hashing function and surfNurbs not a lib! (own mistake)
buttons_editing.c - Curves PathLen button was MAXFRAMEF and pathlen is a short so the button wrapped around.
This commit fixes the Draw module. All buttons/widgets created via the Draw
module in a SpaceScript area are now inserted into a global list attached to
the SpaceScript data. This list is cleared before each draw, when freeing
the space, and when the area is switched to another space.c
This is necessary to prevent Blender's internal UI code from getting invalid
pointers to python data. In addition, it allows storing widget tooltips
inside the python Button objects, which solves that little bit of stupidity.
Note that this reverts the previous weaklist solution. In fact, I had to go
over each previous commit by Campbell after this code originally branched
before the weaklist commit and re-add each commit. So if anything is
missing, just tell me, or feel free to re-add it.
This fixes a bug reported in IRC. getParentBoneName() was returning a string (most likely from an old bone-parent that got removed), even when the parent wasn't an Armature.
* incorrect args to Draw.Create() would crash blender because it wasnt deallocating the value properly.
* deallocation of an uninitialized button could also try and free uninitialized memory if the type happened to be a STRING.
* removed the unused tooltip pointer from teh Draw.h's Button struct.
This commit adds a new constraint to Blender: the Transformation Constraint. This constraint gives you more freedom to choose how transforms are copied from one object/bone to another object/bone.
You can assign the Loc/Rot/Scale channels of a source to the Loc/Rot/Scale channels of a destination, specifying the range of motion (per axis) from the source to consider, and the range of motion (per axis) that will be applied to the destination. Also, for each destination axis, you can choose which of the source axes to copy from.
A similar constraint was coded by Jason Blary (snark), as Patch #4991. This constraint is basically rewritten from scratch, although there are some elements of the original patch which may be borrowed in future.
Various notes:
* PyAPI access has been coded.
* Space conversion is also enabled for this constraint.
* Also the useless get_constraint_col function has been removed
* Doing a rotation copy with a ratio that is not 1:1 doesn't always work correctly yet (like for the Copy Rotation constraint).
After just over a week of coding, I've finished doing a major refactor/cleanup of the constraints code. In the process, quite a few old kludges and ugly hacks have been removed. Also, some new features which will greatly benefit riggers have been implemented.
=== What's New ===
* The long-awaited ``ChildOf Constraint'':
This allows you to animate parent influences, and choose which transformation channels the parent affects the child on (i.e. no translation/rotation/scaling). It should be noted that disabling some combinations may not totally work as expected. Also, the 'Set Inverse' and 'Clear Inverse' buttons at the bottom of this constraint's panel set/clear the inverse correction for the parent's effects. Use these to make the owner not stick/be glued to the parent.
* Constraint/Target Evaluation Spaces:
In some constraints, there are now 1-2 combo boxes at the bottom of their panel, which allows you to pick which `co-ordinate space' they are evaluated in. This is much more flexible than the old 'local' options for bones only were.
* Action Constraint - Loc/Rot/Size Inputs
The Action Constraint can finally use the target's location/rotation/scaling transforms as input, to control the owner of the constraint. This should work much more reliably than it used to. The target evaluation should now also be more accurate due to the new space conversion stuff.
* Transform - No longer in Crazy Space (TM)
Transforming objects/bones with constraints applied should no longer occur in Crazy Space. They are now correctly inverse-corrected. This also applies to old-style object tracking.
=== General Code Changes ===
* solve_constraints is now in constraints.c. I've removed the old `blend consecutive constraints of same type' junk, which made the code more complex than it needed to be.
* evaluate_constraint is now only passed the constraint, and two matrices. A few unused variables have been removed from here.
* A tempolary struct, bConstraintOb, is now passed to solve_constraints instead of relying on an ugly, static workobject in some cases. This works much better.
* Made the formatting of constraint code consistent
* There's a version patch for older files so that constraint settings are correctly converted to the new system. This is currently done for MajorVersion <= 244, and SubVersion < 3. I've bumped up the subversion to 3 for this purpose. However, with the imminent 2.45 release, this may need to be adjusted accordingly.
* LocEulSizeToMat4 and LocQuatSizeToMat4 now work in the order Size, Rot, Location. I've also added a few other math functions.
* Mat4BlendMat4 is now in arithb. I've modified it's method slightly, to use other arithb functions, instead of its crazy blending scheme.
* Moved some of the RigidBodyJoint constraint's code out of blenkernel, and into src. It shouldn't be setting its target in its data initialisation function based + accessing scene stuff where it was doing so.
=== Future Work ===
* Geometry to act as targets for constraints. A space has been reserved for this already.
* Tidy up UI buttons of constraints
