(this is a generalization of some of the experimental stuff i tried during SoC,
but only had time to improve a few days ago)
- it should yield slightly better results
- the cost model can somehow be tweaked to optimize for diferent trees.
*cleaned up some code
*added counters for number of SIMD BB tests
*added GPL license block on missing files
renamed RNA properties.
x_offset, y_offset -> offset_x, offset_y, this order is more common in rna.
render.border -> render.use_border
render.placeholders -> render.use_placeholder
render.no_overwrite -> render.use_overwrite
* Wrapped Grease Pencil datatypes in RNA.
* Hooked up Grease Pencil access in RNA (i.e. via Main, ID, and Scene)
TODO:
Updates to properties are currently lacking property-update calls, since there's no good notifier for this.
Wrapped the Keying Sets API with RNA Functions so that they can now be called from Py-Scripts. This will ultimately be useful for riggers to create Keying Sets which can get loaded up/created for animators to use after importing their rig.
I've created a demo for this, which can be found at:
http://www.pasteall.org/blend/552
Notes:
- Kazanbas, I've had to create a rna_scene_api.c here to hold some of the relevant functions. Hopefully this won't cause you too much pain when you do your next merge from 2.5 to your branch ;)
- I've noticed that there seem to be a few cases mentioned in the demo which don't totally work yet. I'll commit some fixes for those later.
* Popup menus now remember the last clicked item again.
* Modifier and File Format menus are now organized in multiple
columns with categories.
* Hook, explode, uv project modifiers have all their buttons
again with the relevant operators implemented.
* Modifiers that can't be added by the user, or don't work on
curves for example, are not in the menu anymore.
* Fix search menu overlapping buttons when near the bottom of
the screen.
* Fix uv layers search menu not working in some modifiers.
* Cleanup popup menu code a bit, layout engine is used in more
cases now instead of ugly position calculation code.
Implementation:
* NC_SCENE or NC_OBJECT cause scene->stats to be cleared.
* NC_INFO is sent to tag info headers for redraw.
* In UI scene.statistics() creates scene->stats if it is
NULLd, and then returns the string.
* Fix header menu spacing bug, and make it consistent for all headers.
* For consistency, always put menus first in the header, then any enums
to switch the type of data displayed.
* Node editor header ported to python layout. Still quite a few
operators missing to make the menus complete.
* RNA wrapped node editor, and added use_nodes property to material
and scene.
* Added Shading and Performance panels in the scene buttons,
containing the options previously in the 2.4x game menu.
* Added show framerate/debug/physics/warnings back in game menu.
* Moved these settings from G.fileflags to scene GameData.
* Enabled Display Lists by default.
* Some other small game scene button tweaks.
* Reverse playback works again. Flag was getting overriden before it had a chance to do anything
* Active KeyingSet field in TimeLine header should now only be marked as editable when there are some Keying Sets. However, there still seems to be a bug when trying to change this...
TODO (Brecht?): it would be nice to be able to specify a list/collection of data for pointer-buttons that aren't ID's.
* Properly wrapped Keying Sets in RNA. Now the timeline header shows a popup for choosing KeyingSets instead of the nasty index button.
* Fixed bugs in Outliner code for adding/removing array elements to Keying Sets. This makes it possible to add only the x and z location settings for an object for example.
* Finally the header and menus are done via python.
* Added RNA for sync audio.
Note: This is just a basic working version in python. It needs more work and some layout changes.
Joshua: Feel free to adjust this further :)
- use the scene context for the unit settings since there isn't a better place for it currently.
- added 'chain' to imperial units
- set more rna props to be distances and angles.
- currently only distances work.
- user preferences, edit section to set the units and scale.
- option to display pairs (nicer for imperial display?)
- support for evaluating multiple comma separated values eg: 2',11" ..or.. 5ft, 4mil
- comma separated expressions/values accumulate 1+1,2**3,4cm/3
- attempted fast conversion from a value to a string so button drawing isn't too slow.
* imperial long/short *
- mile, mi
- yard, yd
- foot, '
- inch, "
- thou, mil
* metric long/short *
kilometer, km
meter, m
centimeter, cm
millimeter, mm
micrometer, um
nanometer, nm
picometer, pm
* Reviewed subtypes, making them more specific and adding new ones.
* Subtypes now have an associated type of units (length, area, volume,
mass, rotation, time, velocity, acceleration). These are not used
yet anywhere.
* Centralized code that decides the name of array items based on
subtype (XYZ, RGB), was copied in 3 places.
* RNA_def_float etc functions still need to be update, will do this
later together with another change.
Various fixes for painting, sculpting and particle edit, still
much to be done...
* Move RNA paint and sculpt structs into rna_sculpt_paint.c,
* Added Particle Edit RNA.
* Some tweaks to existing Paint RNA.
* Put texture paint and particle edit object in context.
* Fix some errors in the brush layout, properly doing None
checks, fixing some wrong property identifiers.
* Added tool enum for texture paint and particle edit in panels.
* Allow editing brush textures in the texture buttons, still with
a stupid toggle, ideas for how to make the connection better are
welcome.
* Fix crash loading particle AnimData. This crashed many BBB
files. If you have a .blend file that crashes when loading
it in 2.5, please mail me, I'd like to know.
* Image window zoom ratio did not work correct with py 2.x.
* Other minor fixes for image window RNA.
* Buttons window now remembers the tab that was last clicked
by the user, even if that tab is no longer available due
to context, and then enable the tab again if the context
for it is back.
* Cleaned up buttons space DNA a bit, removing unused vars.
* Armature bone rename outside edit mode did not call right
function yet.
* Armature layers are now editable even if lib linked. This
is useful for proxies. For this purpose a PROP_LIB_EXCEPTION
flag was added. Need to think over proxy / RNA a bit though,
not sure what the requirements are yet.
* Parent to Armature Deform now has options to create vertex
groups, instead of always creating them.
* Changed update callbacks for several armature properties to do proper depsgraph flushing instead of sending redraw notifiers
* Wrapped preview-range settings for Scene
* Fixed bug with 'parent-type' enum menu for Object parent-type. The problem here was that PARSKEL was used and is still used for both Armatures and Lattices, but the lattice entry would always override armatures entry. Now, when dynamically building the list to display, the function to add these is given the specific item to use, and has been made to stop after the first match has been added. Hopefully this doesn't break anything else...
An engine to use for output can now be selected an influences what
shows in the buttons window, only showing relevant data. The idea
behind this is to make it more clear what is supported where, make
the system more pluggable for external render/game engines, and save
space hiding stuff that is not relevant anyway.
* Top header now has an engine menu, to choose between the blender
render engine, game engine, and other future external engines.
* If the game engine is enabled, the buttons window should show
only properties that work in the game engine, and similarly for
the render engine.
* Moved panels from the logic space and game tabs to the physics,
scene and world tabs instead, and removed the game tab.
* Materials and textures tabs should eventually become game
specific too, to better show what is supported.
This adds a RenderEngine type to RNA, which can be subclassed
in python (c++ will follow once we support subclassing there).
It's very basic, but plugs into the pipeline nicely. Two example
scripts:
http://www.pasteall.org/6635/pythonhttp://www.pasteall.org/6636/python
Issues:
* Render runs in a separate thread, and there is unrestricted
access, so it's possible to crash blender with unsafe access.
* Save buffers and full sample are not supported yet.
(it's the 3rd commit in a row. But as they say, the 3rd is always a charm ;)
I still think we have a little mess with the DEFINE parameters in BGE (as in RAS_IRasterizer::StereoMode).
We used to have them duplicated and hardcoded in 2.4xx, but I think we can do it in another way now.
(I didn't change gameplayer, but I can do it once we have it linking and building properly)
Logic Panel:
- world settings (moved from world)
... that includes physic engine selection + gravity
- game player (from gamesettings, it wasn't wrapped)
- stereo/dome (from gamesettings, it wasn't wrapped)
... separated stereom into stereoflag and stereomode
- properties
... (didn't touch it)
Buttons Game Panel:
(wip panel)
- Physics (moved from Logic Panel)
... it will be a datablock in the future (right Campbell ?)
- Material Physics (not currently implemented)
... a datablock link to the materials of an object + the dynamic physic variables
* NOTE:
in readfile.c::do_version I couldn't do if(scene->world). There is something wrong with scenes with an unlinked world. So so far we are ignoring the old values....
* Moved brush NKEY panel from C to Python. Could use some UI review :)
* Added a NULL check in bpy_internal_import.c, was crashing here on Python errors
* Added RNA for vpaint brush and for weight paint
* Added context for vpaint/wpaint similar to edit_object and sculpt_object
* Added pointer RNA for the sculpt brush
* Converted sculpt settings panel (in the NKEY area) from C to Python
* For Python UI, needed context for whether sculpt is enabled or not; discussed this with Brecht and added sculpt_object to scene context
- 1st stage: Linear Workflow
This implements automatic linear workflow in Blender's renderer. With the
new Colour Management option on in the Render buttons, all inputs to the
renderer and compositor are converted to linear colour space before
rendering, and gamma corrected afterwards. In essence, this makes all
manual gamma correction with nodes, etc unnecessary, since it's done
automatically through the pipeline.
It's all explained much better in the notes/doc here, so please have a look:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Source/Blender/Architecture/Colour_Management
And an example of the sort of difference it makes:
http://mke3.net/blender/devel/rendering/b25_colormanagement_test01.jpg
This also enables Colour Management in the default B.blend, and changes the
default lamp falloff to inverse square, which is more correct, and much
easier to use now it's all gamma corrected properly.
Next step is to look into profiles/soft proofing for the compositor.
Thanks to brecht for reviewing and fixing some oversights!
* Added Relations panel with layers, pass_index, parent.
* Groups panel now can do add to group/remove from group.
* Parent, parent type, track are now editable.
* Separate constraint add operator for object and bones.
* UI layout for scene buttons has quite some changes, I tried to
better organize things according to the pipeline, and also showing
important properties by default, and collapsing less important ones.
Some changes compared to 2.4x:
* Panorama is now a Camera property.
* Sequence and Compositing are now enabled by default, but will only
do something when there is a node tree using nodes, or a strip in the
sequence editor.
* Enabling Full Sample now automatically enables Save Buffers too.
* Stamp option to include info in file is removed, it now simply always
does this if one of the stamp infos is enabled.
* Xvid, H.264 and Ogg Theora are now directly in the file format menu,
but still using FFMPEG. Unfortunately Ogg is broken at the moment
(also in 2.4x), so that's disabled. And Xvid crashes on 64bit linux,
maybe solvable by upgrading extern/xvidcore/, using ubuntu libs makes
it work.
* Organized file format menu by image/movie types.
Added:
* Render layers RNA wrapped, operatorized, layouted.
* FFMPEG format/codec options are now working.
Defaults changed:
* Compositing & Sequencer enabled.
* Tiles set to 8x8.
* Time/Date/Frame/Scene/Camera/Filename enabled for stamp.
Render usability:
- Option back to render to imagewindow, or fullscreen.
The latter is default. Setting is stored in Scene.
- Added button in output panel, the option "to new window" will follow!
- F11 again toggles render view
(moved MS Windows "full screen" to shift+F11 for now)
* 3D view Mesh menu works again, but incomplete.
* Add Properties and Toolbar to 3D View menu.
* Added "specials" menus back, vertex/edge/face and general.
* Various fixes in existing mesh operators, some were not working.
* Add MESH_OT_merge.
* Merge all subdivide ops into MESH_OT_subdivide, subdivide code
changes to make smooth + multi give good results.
* Rename all select inverse ops to *_OT_select_inverse.
* Fix "search for unknown operator" prints at startup, and some
warnings in py code.
* Don't run .pyc files on startup.
* Remove unused image window header C code.
This commit is quite experimental, and might have to be reverted, but in quite a few places, the cleanups from this commit were already necessary.
* I've left most of the image-handling functions alone, since I'm not sure how well they cope with negative indices.
* Start/End frames cannot be negative for now... any specific reasons why they should be negative?
