Make the UI API more consistent and reduce confusion with some naming.
mainly:
- API function calls
- enum values
some internal static functions have been left for now
* The `NODE_OT_parent_clear` operator has been removed. This was a very
simplistic operator that detached every selected node, which is not very
useful in case of hierarchical frames. The `NODE_OT_detach` operator
only detaches the top parent nodes in the selection, keeping the
hierarchy of selected nodes intact.
* The `ALT+P` shortcut has been reassigned to the `NODE_OT_detach`
operator which replaces the previous `NODE_OT_clear` mapping with
similar behavior (also gives a menu entry shortcut now).
* Shortcuts for `NODE_OT_detach_translate_attach` have been removed, due
to crowded and messy keymap and unintuitive shortcut `ALT+F`. This macro
operator is still registered, in case hardcore users want to make their
own keymaps, but not mapped by default. Node keymaps may need some
redesign in the future for these things.
Use BLI's `rotation_between_vecs_to_mat3` helper instead of own custom code,
both simplifies the code and fixes wrong handling when snapped normal was exactly
opposed to org one (i.e. 180° rot case).
This is a very old bug and a few attempts have been made to fix it before,
Old code was checking worldspace axis flipping, instead of axis flipping WRT the axis-alignment of the object.
Operators that trigger UI events (but nothing else)
were using 'CANCELLED' making it impossible to tell if an invoke
function failed, or opened a menu.
When resetting edit bones on cancel, they also have to reset connected
parent and child bone tips and heads respectively, since these can be
modified during the transform.
Just do not use crazyspace correction with childof constraints in this case.
Note this is only a very partial fix (partial use of parent loc on some axes
is still broken in transform), a real fix would probably require a full rewrite
of constraints handling in transform code (a mere static correction matrix
just cannot work in all possible cases, we'd need a full dynamic correction system here).
Anyway, transform code as a whole is horrible. :/
- selecting a boundary edge would randomly point in/outside the face (now point away).
- selecting 3 verts would use the first selected edge as the tangent (now use longest).
- selecting 1 vert betweem edges, uses the edges to define the tangent.
whenever enter edge bevel weight editing.
This is what happens when one makes an edge sharp, for instance.
The edge bevel weight display is not on by default for performance
reasons, but seems reasonable to enable it when user indicates
interest by editing bevel weight values.
Turned out there were several issues in handling of scale parameter by numinput.
Fixed that by factorizing more some code in common with 'usual' numbuttons eval code
(new `bUnit_getScaleUnit()` helper will return valid scaled value, depending on
given system and type).
Now, numinput behaves as expected - using default unit amended by scale in case no unit is given
(i.e. entering '20' with a scale of 0.01 will give you 20cm, and '20cm' as well!).
This is another example of transform code crappiness. Projection
snapping for objects is handled separately than regular snapping.
Luckilly for us, we have the normal ready from the raycast result and a
copy of code from ElementRotation function can do the necessary
rotations for us.
I have not enforced constraints here (arguably, maybe I should, and the
already present projection snapping should do that too but seems it is
commented out and the unorthodox order of operations here has me a bit
scared. Leaving as TODO)
Note than it's using nearest faces, since it showed to be much more performant than
nearest vertex (quite odd, it's about 40% slower for the first element, then 50 times quicker
for all others, as if BVH was cached, and building face was slower than verts one,
but then using it, much quicker!).
Issue was caused by rB47ec0394ca3d, which disabled BBox check in editmode - but bbox check was also
setting `len_diff`, which is mandatory when doing ray_start_local correction for ortho view...
Now, in this case, we do a quick rough compute of len_diff from vertices coordinates (accuracy is not
needed here, we just have to be sure corrected `ray_start_local` remains 'before' (outside) of the
geometry).
Disable adding snapping point outside of 3D space for now,
visualization of the points is not implemented outside of
this space and silently adding them wouldn't really be a
good idea.
This patch creates an interface for selection mechanisms in opengl. This
makes it possible to switch between occlusion query based or select
rendermode based selection transparently.
This is really useful on graphics drivers that do not accelerate the
select rendermode path (some ATI cards are notorious for this, and the
new path is used by default there), since occlusion queries are always
hardware accelerated due to their use in games.
The option can be found under system - selection. Auto just enables
occlusion queries for ATI users while the rest of the options enforce
one of the two methods always.
There is just one known change, previous code enforced nearest bone to
always get selected, even when mouse selecting near the same position, I
couldn't replicate the behaviour though.
patch by me with edits and review by Campbell.
Thanks!
Commented out the 'no zero' protection of scaling transforms for numinput.
Issue is, once an axis has null scale, you can't regrow it from transform code
(you have to directly edit the scale property). This is not ideal, but getting
good behavior in this case is hairy...
Yet, when using numinput, you type precise values, so if you want to set it to zero,
set it to zero. User is assumed responsible, we should avoid too much 'invisible magic'
when handling precise inputs. ;)
Note: an idea for possible future feature would be to have an 'absolute' mode for numinput
(allowing to type in real value, not factors).
Yep, at last it's here!
There are a few minor issues remaining but development can go on in
master after discussion at blender institute.

Thanks to Sergey and Campbell for the extensive review and to the
countless artists that have given their input and reported issues during
development.
Issue here is that we force mirroring even if original armature is not
mirrored.
We could be smart and store only unselected mirrored bones here (since
those will get restored from transdata), however not all properties were
getting stored and restored; rolling bones still suffered from the bug
for instance.
To fix this we need to restore all properties that armature mirroring
overrides. Transdata obviously does not offer a lot of space here, so I
used TransInfo->customdata to store an array of initial parameters of
the mirrored bones.
Handle vectors for the initial location were only stored when the handles are actually
selected for transform. When only the master vertex is moved this can still affect
the handles though, since they are constraint to one side of the master vertex.
Now the handle data is stored regardless of whether handles are included in the transform,
so on cancel their location is reset correctly as well.
