- Baked point caches for particles, cloth and softbody can now be edited in particle mode.
* This overwrites the old cloth/sb cache editmode editing.
* The type of editable system is chosen from a menu.
* For particles the current particle system and it's current cache are used.
- Currently this only works for caches that are in memory, but some automatic conversion from disk to memory and back can be implemented later.
- All tools from hair editing can't be applied to point caches and are hidden in the tool panel and specials menu. Some functionality like subdividing paths can be later implemented in a slightly different way from how it works for hair.
- Code is not yet optimized for speed, so editing might be slow sometimes.
Known issues:
- Cloth doesn't update properly while in particle mode, due to the way cloth modifier currently works. Daniel can you check on this?
- As "particle mode" is not only for particles any more some other name would be in place?
- Better icons are needed for the path, point, and tip-modes as the current icons from mesh edit mode are quite misleading.
- Direct editing of point velocities is not yet implemented, but will be in the future.
Other changes:
- Hair editing doesn't require a "make editable" button press any more.
- Multiple caches in single particle system disables changing emission properties.
- Unified ui code for all point cache panels.
* Defined in buttons_particle.py and imported for cloth, smoke & softbody.
- Proper disabling of properties in ui after baking point caches. (Daniel could you please make needed disable code for smoke panels as their functionality is not familiar to me.)
- Hair weight brush has been removed. Once hair dynamics is re-implemented I'll code a more useable alternative to the functionality.
Bug fixes:
- Unlinking particle settings crashed.
- Deleting the active object with particles in the scene crashed.
- Softbody didn't write point caches correctly on save.
* Shuffled some code around, and renamed some functions used for getting context info
- Split UI-buttons into a separate file from stroke-drawing code
- Removed some obsolete code (i.e. old paint code that used to be in _edit, but which has been moved to _paint).
* Made drawing in 3D-View default to using the active object as the owner of the Grease Pencil data. For now, the drawing code will therefore only show the GP data for the active object only. More work to come on this.
* Fixed freeing code for Objects/Scenes with GP data.
* Inserting keyframes now takes into account whether the F-Curve was editable or not.
* Editing keyframes in animation editors now sends proper depsgraph updates instead of just tagging the relevant objects.
Thanks JiriH for reporting these bugs.
* Pose mode was already object-localized, but moved the flag from object->flag to object->mode, with all the other modes.
* Updated object mode RNA
* Commented out some dubious use of base->flag with the posemode flag. So far as I could see the value was only being set, not read, so a hopefully safe change.
* Made texture paint object-localized too.
Note for Brecht: gpu_draw.c had three uses of G_TEXTUREPAINT that I was not able to cleanly fix, so commented out for now. Can you take a look and see what should be done here?
* Weightpaint is now object-local like sculpt and vertexpaint.
* Fixed a bug spotted by DingTo, going from editmode to sculptmode didn't fully leave editmode
* Made sculpt mode local to object.
* This also fixes loading files from 2.4x saved in sculptmode
Touched a lot of things here, let me know if anything breaks
TODO:
* The other paint modes should be converted as well
- 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.
* Separated value and range sliders for the value into two separate rows. Value comes before the range settings since it's used more often, and is drawn as a slider instead.
* Tweaked ranges for the sliders so that they will work sanely.
* New NLA Tracks/Strips are now only created if the 'layered' button (visible in the timeline header when autokeying is on, and the playback is running) is enabled. This multiple bones to be able to be animated in the same action, but done in multiple passes.
* Made Alt-A work in timeline header too.
* When doing realtime recording of animation (i.e. transforming objects + bones while animation playback is running, and auto-keying is enabled), animation will be added to a new NLA Track+Strip combo everytime a single 'loop' of the frame range has finished. This will allow 'passes' over the animation to be less destructive.
* Made the evaluation of the active action (when NLA data is present), be handled as part of the normal NLA system evaluation code (as if it were just another strip in a track at the end). The immediate benefit is that there are now some settings (available in the "Animation Data" panel in the NLA Editor with a strip selected) which allow for the way the active action is combined with the NLA stack results. For instance, the way that the action extrapolates is used in the recording tweaks above.
- It is possible to work with MetaBalls in edit mode now
- Added basic UI to the button window (feel free to change it :-))
- Header menus should work
- Undo & redo should work
- Removed global variable editelems and lastelem (moved it to the MetaBall struct)
- All tools from old editmball.c was converted to the operators
- Added lastelem to the RNA
- Experimental: mb->editelems is only pointer at mb->elems or NULL (depends on Mode). ListBase of MetaElems is not duplicated in edit mode.
Tested with scons at Linux and mac OS X
TODO:
- Recalc data after Undo or Redo
- Solve issue with basic MetaBall and Python UI script (only base MetaBall object influence Wiresize and Threshold)
- Fix orientation of manipulator in "Normal mode"
* Insert Keyframes menu now only displays the 'active keyingset' entry when there are some KeyingSets.
* Moved the validation code for auto-blending/extend modes to NLA editor code, and included calls for this in many of the editing tools for NLA strips.
* Removed obsolete 'ID_IPO' entries from RNA-ID wrapping (these were commented out anyway).
* Auto-blending (blend in/out values get determined based on 'overlaps' of strips) now occurs after transforming strips. Where islands (continuous chains of strips) occur, only the ones on the ends of the islands will get or contribute to auto-blending.
* Extend modes (other than 'nothing') now get automatically determined (after transforms) so that moving strips will no-longer cause problems.
* Added a new option to hide influence curves in NLA. Also, made the line widths for these curves narrower, since the old setting was too ugly.
* Pose copy/paste buffer now gets freed on exit
Modal keymaps.
I've tried to make it as simple as possible, yet still using sufficient facilities to enable self-documenting UIs, saving/reading in files, and proper Python support.
The simplicity is: the 'modal keymap' just checks an event, uses event matching similarly to other keymap matching, and if there's a match it changes the event type, and sets the event value to what the modal keymap has defined. The event values are being defined using EnumPropertyItem structs, so the UI will be able to show all options in self-documenting way.
This system also allows to still handle hardcoded own events.
Tech doc:
1) define keymap
- Create map with unique name, WM_modalkeymap_add()
- Give map property definitions (EnumPropertyItem *)
This only for UI, so user can get information on available options
2) items
- WM_modalkeymap_add_item(): give it an enum value for events
3) activate
- In keymap definition code, assign the modal keymap to operatortype
WM_modalkeymap_assign()
4) event manager
- The event handler will check for modal keymap, if so:
- If the modal map has a match:
- Sets event->type to EVT_MODAL_MAP
- Sets event->val to the enum value
5) modal handler
- If event type is EVT_MODAL_MAP:
- Check event->val, handle it
- Other events can just be handled still
Two examples added in the code:
editors/transform/transform.c: transform_modal_keymap()
editors/screen/screen_ops.c: keymap_modal_set()
Also: to support 'key release' the define KM_RELEASE now is officially
used in event manager, this is not '0', so don't check key events with
the old convention if(event->val) but use if(event->val==KM_PRESS)
Disable manipulator drawing while moving. This still use G.moving, but that's acceptable for now (it's sort of a weird display option, after talk with Ton, we couldn't find a good place to set it).
Confirm on LMB up but cancel on RMB down.
This works well with hotkeys, manipulator, RMB+drag and gesture (when they are added back).
The question is do we stick with one scheme for all or have separate keymaps for different "calling mode".
* RNA_enum_items_add_value and RNA_enum_item_add_separator utility
functions, to add an item from an existing array with a certain
value, and to add a separator.
* support for dynamic enums to be inspected enumProp.items() from python.
* fix, enums check for a separator was flipped, meant no enums were in docs.
* dynamic enum functions now check for a NULL context and return all possible options for the "items" attribute used for docs.
* added an arg for rna arrays to free the array there looping over (needed to free dynamically allocated enum items)
* python api checks for NULL items since this can happen in some cases.
* python api, When getting an enum ID from an int in an array - If it failed it would get the first enum identifier and return that. Brecht? dont understand, making it return an empty string in these cases.
* Text window font size now supports full range 8-32, instead of
just 12 and 15. I added BLF_fixed_width to get the character
width of a fixed size font.
* Buttons do undo push on change again.
* Animated/Keyframe/Driver colors are now themable, with blend
value to blend with original color. Set this to 0.5 now to
give colors less constrast.
* Fix tooltip popping up with RMB menu open, and missing redraw.
* Autokeyframe now works for buttons.
* Driver expressions can be edited in place in a button now.
(still some refresh issues).
* Also made python driver default for the Add Driver function
in the RMB button. This way you don't have to open a Graph
editor if you just want to type an expression. Also, the
default expression then is the current value.
* Tooltips now show some extra info, not sure what is good to
have, but currently I added:
* Shortcut key for operator buttons.
* Python struct & property name for RNA buttons.
* Expression for driven values.
* Value for text/search/pointer buttons.
Made transform confirm or cancel on mouse up. More inline with button clicking and better for tablets.
Add operator params to make sure Rip and Extrude turn off PET and Mirror correctly.
Note: sorry for all the whitespace changes, I need to reconfigure this editor not to do autocleanup.
* Enums can now be dynamically created in the _itemf callback,
using RNA_enum_item(s)_add, RNA_enum_item_end. All places asking
for enum items now need to potentially free the items.
* This callback now also gets context, this was added specifically
for operators. This doesn't fit design well at all, needed to do
some ugly hacks, but can't find a good solution at the moment.
* All enums must have a default list of items too, even with an
_itemf callback, for docs and fallback in case there is no context.
* Used by MESH_OT_merge, MESH_OT_select_similar, TFM_OT_select_orientation.
* Also changes some operator properties that were enums to booleas
(unselected, deselect), to make them consistent with other ops.
I've gone through all the Animation Editor operators, making sure they send appropriate notifiers, and that these notifiers are handled.
* Added a separate category for animation-related notifiers, since the old-style ones attached to specific datatypes only was turning out to be not too feasible.
* For now, the focus has been on making sure that all Animation Editors update when there have been any potentially suitable changes at all. Later on, we can filter these more carefully to only take the ones we really need (for optimisation purposes)
* Weight paint: brush strength was changed to both define weight
and strength, this can't work, made them separate buttons.
* Allow adding particle system as modifier (fix crash).
* 3D view modal ops (zoom ..) could not be ended when invoked
from a button.
* Fix some warnings.
* Fix spelling in particle RNA property.
Monthly cleaning round to make it compile warning free.
Mostly it was const stuff (strings, Context), but also
a couple useful fixes, like wrong use of temp pointers.
Only Mathutils callback struct I left alone... design issue.
It's just a straight application of the normal operator for now, none of the normal manipulator goodies yet (no draw code and you have to click to confirm).
* Rename BIF_transform/retopo.h to ED_transform/retopo.h
for consistency.
* Move MESH_OT_duplicate_add to editmesh_add.c.
* Remove some code from BIF_gl.h which is not needed there
anymore.
Brought back the basics for transform manipulators. Martin will
hook it all up to new transform system.
Some notes:
- Still uses G.moving
- BIF_do_manipulator() is called as a View3D Operator
I've tested selecting handles, added a print to confirm
- BIF_GetTransInfo() returns a dummy struct now, just to get
it running.
- Marked some other issues with XXX
Strip-sorting code was buggy, as it was trying to access an invalid pointer, so the call to sort strips after transform was temporarily disabled in previous commits.
* The code to move strips between tracks now works (though it can still be a bit too eager to change tracks half-way through some transforms).
Strips are moved up/down one strip at a time, depending on whether there is any space in the next-track in the direction you direct it to move in.
* Auto-snapping works again. Also enabled snap-to-marker option for Graph Editor here.
