Looks like this does not work for animators here after all, will use a
different code for this (probably not hardcoded)
This reverts commit 3bbb4020e7.
- pass label strlen since in many cases its already known.
- use single linked list for cached text drawing.
- add BLI_link_utils.h for single linked list macros.
own tests give approx 22% overall speedup.
* Green (current frame) color now extends to the segments on either side of the
current frame point. This is so that the path is more visible (especially on the
black/dark side), as those segments were prone to being interpolated such that
they became invisible
* Added padding for frame number strings so that they do not overlap the dots
anymore
* Fixed off-by-one error, which meant that the frame number for the first frame
step (white dot) didn't get shown
* Added proper "update" operators in place of the abuse of the calculate
operators, so now the display ranges won't get overwritten everytime (with the
default values) you go to update the paths.
* Display range settings in properties editor now actually work. Before, the "In
Range" mode only displayed the entire paths.
incorrectly
When the current frame occurs outside the current visible range a given motion
path, the point lookup was seeking past the ends of the path's point cache,
causing sporadic flickering of current frame indicator at 0,0,0.
- use more logical names for strings, noticed too many strings called `str` when reviewing name patch.
- pass __func__ macro to uiBeginBlock(), quite a few names were wrong (copy/paste error).
This fixes bug #26764 and several others like it, where modifier
properties (and others, but most visibly modifiers) would not do
anything when animated or driven, as modifier properties require the
RNA update calls to tag the modifiers to get recalculated.
While just adding a call to RNA_property_update() could have gotten
this working (as per the Campbell's patch attached in the report, and
also my own attempt #25881). However, on production rigs, the
performance cost of this is untenatable (on my own tests, without
these updates, I was getting ~5fps on such a rig, but only 0.9fps or
possibly even worse with the updates added).
Hence, this commit adds a property-update caching system to the RNA
level, which aims to reduce to the number of times that the update
functions end up needing to get called.
While this is much faster than without the caching, I also added an
optimisation for pose bones (which are numerous in production rigs) so
that their property updates are skipped, since they are useless to the
animsys (they only tag the depsgraph for updating). This gets things
moving at a more acceptable framerate.
- made theme colors for mesh edge len & face angle/area display.
- use %g rather then %f for float display, trims unneeded zeros.
- store cached 2d and 3d text color as bytes rather then floats, compare when drawing to avoid setting the context.
- use unsigned char for more color functions, avoids casting to glColorubv().
- ascii text drawing functions, slightly faster since they dont have to do hash lookups & utf8 conversions for each char.
- used ascii drawing functions for the view3d's number display.
- each text item was using fixed 128 chars, now only allocate the string length needed.
- #22155: keyframe dots not shown on path for bone keyframes that aren't in a group with a matching name. Since this situation is going to become more common in 2.5, I've added an option which will alternatively just search the entire action to find all F-Curves associated with bones. The old option is still the default though for the general cases.
- When keyframe drawing is enabled, the current frame will also be indicated on the path now as a (bigger) green dot, as requested by William. This makes it easier to see the position on the path on the current frame.
Only source/blender/editors/ dir, should not give errors on different platforms
Only removing: UI_*.h, ED_*.h, WM_*.h, DNA_*.h, IMB_*.h, RNA_*.h, PIL_*.h
This commit makes the new-style Motion Paths work for Objects and Bones. Motion Paths can either be added for Objects (Object buttons) or for Selected Bones in PoseMode (Armature Buttons), and/or removed from these panels too.
Changes:
* Changed the way the baking code worked, since it was better to be able to bake a bunch of objects at once, instead of doing it per object
* Fixed a variety of bugs regarding initialising defaults and reading old files
* Added operators for Objects (like for bones), and replaced the existing code for bones.
* Fixed bug with baking code that was causing it to bake the wrong ranges
Todos:
* Frame number drawing is currently messed up, since the "cached" text drawing takes into account the object transforms.
* The new MotionPath panels currently appear as the first panels in the respective contexts, probably due to the order in which the files are included. This needs some fixing, though not sure what the best way is yet.
This commit sets up some of the groundwork necessary to extend the animation visualisation capabilities, previously only available for bones in PoseMode, to Objects as well. Also, some of the other goals of this refactor is to make future visualisation goodies (i.e. editable paths) more feasible...
(There's really nothing to see here yet. The following log notes are really just for my own reference to keep track of things.)
Currently, the following things have been done:
* New datastructures + settings have been tidied up, ready for usage
* Added these new types into the Object and PoseBone code as necessary, with freeing/adding/copying accounted for
* File IO code for the new data, including version patching to convert the old system to the new one.
* Set up the drawing system for motionpaths based on the old armature path drawing code. Armatures still draw using the old system, since the two systems use different storage systems.
* Started setting up the motionpath 'baking' code, but the core of this still needs to be coded...
Next Steps (after some semi-urgent Durian Driver changes):
* Port the ghosting/onionskinning code over too
* Finish motionpath baking code
* RNA wrapping for the new types
* Hooking up all the new code into the operators, etc.
