This fix also allows for partial update of the image, speeding up painting.
The different code path implemented will be used to upload high resolution images to OpenGL when onion branch is merged.
Due to conversion of float textures to/from sRGB, corrections made to brush color sampling to take account of the image profile. This is not 100% correct yet as texture images used for projection painting strokes are not converted to/from sRGB yet(This has been decided due to loss of precision for 8-bit formats). It will have to do for now, though.
last-minute update, exr image loading is broken, will fix asap
=======================
Added option to baked named "Bake From Multires" which is avaliable for
normals baking and displacement baking.
If this option is enabled, then no additional hi-res meshes and render
structures would be created . This saves plenty of memory and meshes
with millions of faces could be successfully baked in few minutes.
Baking happens from highest level against viewport subdivision level,
so workflow is following:
- Set viewport level to level at which texture would be applied
during final rendering.
- Choose Displacement/Normals baking.
- Enable "Bake From Multires" option.
- You're ready to bake.
Displacement baker had aditional option named "Low Resolution Mesh".
This option is used to set if you want texture for realtime (games)
usage.
Internally it does the following:
- If it's disabled, displacement is calculated from subdivided
viewport level, so texture looks "smooth" (it's how default
baked works).
- If it's enabled, dispalcement is calculated against unsubdivided
viewport levels. This leads to "scales". This isn;t useful for
offline renders much, but very useful for creating game textures.
Special thanks to Morten Mikkelsen (aka sparky) for all mathematics
and other work he've done fr this patch!
Old bug report:
Image Editor, Painting: crash when texture was visible in
Material or Texture preview. Was caused by paint code
freeing mipmaps. Now replaced with a mipmap tag (to be done
again), and a new mipmap function that doesn't re-allocate.
- a linear float buffer was being created and saved into a non-linear DPX/Cineon file.
- removed the UI since the settings are not used at the moment.
added a utility function IMB_float_profile_ensure(), which returns a float buffer in the requested profile, using the existing if needed or returning an allocated buffer if the profile is different to that of the ImBuf. - Useful this case where the save function has its own linear setting.
Also use const char in many other parts of blenders code.
Currently this gives warnings for setting operator id, label and description since these are an exception and allocated beforehand.
The main reason to have this is so renders can be scripted to write to a specific file without having to do annoying tricks like set a dummy start/end frame range, render an animation and work out the current frame image will be written to, then rename after rendering.
Also made some 'char *' args into 'const char *'
- removed deprecated bitmap arg from IMB_allocImBuf (plugins will need updating).
- mostly tagged UNUSED() since some of these functions look like they may need to have the arguments used later.
tile cache code in imbuf, but it is not hooked up to the render engine.
Imbuf module: some small refactoring and removing a lot of unused or old code
(about 6.5k lines).
* Added a ImFileType struct with callbacks to make adding an file format type,
or making changes to the API easier.
* Move imbuf init/exit code into IMB_init()/IMB_exit() functions.
* Increased mipmap levels from 10 to 20, you run into this limit already with
a 2k image.
* Removed hamx, amiga, anim5 format support.
* Removed colormap saving, only simple colormap code now for reading tga.
* Removed gen_dynlibtiff.py, editing this is almost as much work as just
editing the code directly.
* Functions removed that were only used for sequencer plugin API:
IMB_anim_nextpic, IMB_clever_double, IMB_antialias, IMB_gamwarp,
IMB_scalefieldImBuf, IMB_scalefastfieldImBuf, IMB_onethird, IMB_halflace,
IMB_dit0, IMB_dit2, IMB_cspace
* Write metadata info into OpenEXR images. Can be viewed with the command
line utility 'exrheader'
For the image tile cache code, see this page:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:2.5/Source/Imaging/ImageTileCache
because the mipmap was not being refreshed. Also this will be problematic
to support when I add tile/mipmap cache, so would not rather not try to.
Can be added back afterwards if someone wants to make it work.
Patch by Alfredo de Greef with high quality image texture filters.
This adds 3 new filters:
* SAT: Summed Area Tables. This is like mipmaps, but using somewhat
more memory avoids some artifacts.
* EWA: Ellipitical Weighted Average, anisotropic filter.
* FELINE: Fast elliptical lines for anisotropic texture mapping.
The one change I made to this was to try to fix an alpha/premul
problem, hopefully I didn't break anything, it looks compatible
with the existing filter now for me.
svn merge https://svn.blender.org/svnroot/bf-blender/trunk/blender -r19820:HEAD
Notes:
* Game and sequencer RNA, and sequencer header are now out of date
a bit after changes in trunk.
* I didn't know how to port these bugfixes, most likely they are
not needed anymore.
* Fix "duplicate strip" always increase the user count for ipo.
* IPO pinning on sequencer strips was lost during Undo.
void bicubic_interpolation(struct ImBuf *in, struct ImBuf *out, float u, float v, int xout, int yout);
void neareast_interpolation(struct ImBuf *in, struct ImBuf *out, float u, float v, int xout, int yout);
void bilinear_interpolation(struct ImBuf *in, struct ImBuf *out, float u, float v, int xout, int yout);
Added...
void bicubic_interpolation_color(struct ImBuf *in, unsigned char *col, float *col_float, float u, float v);
void neareast_interpolation_color(struct ImBuf *in, unsigned char *col, float *col_float, float u, float v);
void bilinear_interpolation_color(struct ImBuf *in, unsigned char *col, float *col_float, float u, float v);
This is needed so for projection painting but generally useful if you want to get the interpolated color of a pixel in an image without having a destination imbuf.
While editing these I noticed the functons are a bit dodgy, they assume the input ImBuf has matching float/chr buffer to the output.
draws into the
frame.
This patch includes some changes I made...
* use blenders bitmap fonts (rather then own fonts)
* select font size
* user interface layout changes
* Marker as another image stamp option
Also added some new API calls
BMF_GetFontHeight(font);
BMF_DrawStringBuf(...); - so we can draw text into an imbuf's image buffer.
get_frame_marker(frame) - get the last marker from the frame.
IMB_rectfill_area(...) - fill in an image buffer with a rectangle area of color.
TODO - draw stamp info in 3d view, at the moment it just displays in the animation.
Fixed Campbell's patch for IMB_flipx:
- header file declaration is corrected
- reordered loops to make things faster (less cache misses
and no tests for float-buffers on a _per pixel basis_!)
(Campbell: it'd be nice, if you could check with me before patching
the sequencer. Or at least pay attention to compiler warnings :) )
new option for the image sequencer's image strips, flip x/y, (useful when making animatics to test the direction characters walk across the screen)
added IMB_flipy was alredy there, needed to add IMB_flipx.
Initial commit of imagebrowser in trunk.
BIG COMMIT!
Main changes:
* completely reworked imasel space
* creation and storage of the preview images for materials, textures, world and lamp
* thumbnails of images and movie files when browsing in the file system
* loading previews from external .blend when linking or appending
* thumbnail caching according to the Thumbnail Managing Standard: http://jens.triq.net/thumbnail-spec/
* for now just kept imasel access mostly as old imgbrowser (CTRL+F4, CTRL+F1) a bit hidden still.
* filtering of file types (images, movies, .blend, py,...)
* preliminary managing of bookmarks ('B' button to add, XKEY while bookmark active to delete)
More detailed info which will be updated here: http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Elubie/PreviewImageBrowser
Places that need special review (and probably fixes):
* BLO_blendhandle_get_previews in readblenentry
* readfile.c: do_version and refactorings of do_library_append
* UI integration
TODO and known issues still:
* Accented characters do not display correctly with international fonts
* Crash was reported when browsing in directory with movie files
* Bookmark management still needs some UI work (second scrollbar?), feedback here is welcome!

Or in short:
- adding MultiLayer Image support
- recoded entire Image API
- better integration of movie/sequence Images
Was a whole load of work... went down for a week to do this. So, will need
a lot of testing! Will be in irc all evening.
Here's the full release log with example file.
http://www.blender3d.org/cms/Render_Baking.827.0.html
For people who don't read docs; just press ALT+CTRL+B on a Mesh
with texture faces!
Todos:
- maybe some filter options extra?
- Make normal maps in Tangent space
- ImagePaint now uses ImBuf directly, and the rect blending functions
were moved into the imbuf module.
- The brush spacing, timing and sampling was abstracted into brush.c, for
later reuse in other paint modes.
Float ImagePaint support.
Textured Brushes:
- Only the first texture channel is used now.
- Options for size and offset should be added, but need to find some space
in the panel, or add a second one ..
- blur works again (this was a serious bug in gamwarp...)
- seperates all sequence effects into a seperate file with a clean interface
- thereby fixing some obscure segfaults
- seperates the scope views into a seperate file
- adds float support to all effects and scope views
- removes a bad level call to open_plugin_seq
- FFMPEG seeking improved a lot.
- FFMPEG compiles with debian sarge version cleanly
- Makes hdaudio seek and resample code really work
Just use SHIFT-F3 and save an image.
Basically all this does is copy the zbuffer to a new Image buffer
and pass that to the save image function.
Sample output:

Also thanks to Jesterking for helping me debug dumbness... ;)

The code that generated mipmaps took a real long time to do it... on a
5k x 5k image it took here (no optim, debug compile) 32.5 sec.
Recoded the very old filtering routine, which already brought it down to
2.8 seconds. Then tested if we even need this filtering... in many cases
the images are painted or photographs, which is filtered OK already.
Without the filter, the mipmap timing went down to 0.39 second. :)
http://www.blender.org/bf/filters/index1.html
Here's an example of two 'mips' generated with or without gauss filter.
Note that aliasing in an image remains there... which can be a wanted
effect anyway.
So; added the gauss filter as option in making mipmaps. Also had to
reshuffle the buttons there in a more logical manner.
There's also disabled code in the do_versions to set 'gauss' on in older
files. Will be enabled during release time.
* Add ffmpeg-read support in anim.c and util.c
* Makes ImBufs refcountable. You can now increase an internal refcounter
in ImBufs (using IMB_refImBuf) which is decreased by freeImBuf.
This makes it possible to simply pass ImBuf pointers around in the
sequencer saving a few memcopies.
- Image curves are only applied now when curves panel is in use. Closing
the panel will disable curves, reopen Panel enable curves.
You can minimize the Curves panel to keep it active. That latter then
works as visualization curves are being applied.
- Compositor output now also uses Image window curves, if active.
- cleanup of color curves code; goes at least twice faster now!
(includes black/white point stuff)
- When using 'Curves' in image window on a byte rect, it creates a (temp)
float rect to operate on. So curves work for regular pictures too now.
Until now, the zbuffer was written straight from the internal zbuffer,
which has values that are inverse-proportional (like 1.0/z) which makes
it very hard to use it for postprocess, like zblur or other composit effects
that require Z.
Based on info from ILM, the values stored for Z in exr files is the
actual distance from a camera. I think that's about time to migrate to that
convention!
By default now, after render, the z values are converted to floats. This
saves in exr files now, but not in the Iris Z files. That latter was a
blender-only anyway, so might be not a real hassle to drop. :)
You can see the difference in the image window, but notice the range now
is linear mapped from camera clipstart to clipend.
Note; I just discover that ortho Z values need a different correction...
- Reading exr images now goes OK. I've unified the code for reading
'half' and 'float' (was nicely possible!). And removed useless copying
of data around.
- Fixed bug in allocating new rects, like for making mipmaps. flag issues.
- filter code accidentally incremented wrong pointer (crash on mipmap too)
Credits go to Gernot Ziegler, who originally coded EXR support, and to
Austin Benesh for bringing it further. Kent Mein provided a lot of code
for integrating float buffers in Blender imbuf and ImBuf API cleanup,
and provided Make and Scons and static linking.
At this moment; the EXR libraries are a *dependency*, so you cannot get
the Orange branch compiled without having OpenEXR installed. Get the
(precompiled or sources) stuff from www.openexr.com. Current default is
that the headers and lib resides in /user/local/
Several changes/additions/fixes were added:
- EXR code only supported 'half' format (16 bits per channel). I've added
float writing, but for reading it I need tomorrow. :)
- Quite some clumsy copying of data happened in EXR code.
- cleaned up the api calls already a bit, preparing for more advanced
support
- Zbuffers were saved 16 bits, now 32 bits
- automatic adding of .exr extensions went wrong
Imbuf:
- added proper imbuf->flags and imbuf->mall support for float buffers, it
was created for *each* imbuf. :)
- found bugs for float buffers in scaling and flipping. Code there will
need more checks still
- imbuf also needs to be verified to behave properly when no 32 bits
rect exists (for saving for example)
TODO:
- support internal float images for textures, backbuf, AO probes, and
display in Image window
Hope this commit won't screwup syncing with bf-blender... :/
While investigating alternative filters (Mitchell), I found two small
errors in the Gauss code, it clipped wrong and multiplied wrong, causing
settings other than filter size 1.0 to not work properly.
Took the last-minute liberty to add more filter types in Blender too.
Also wrote an extensive log about how sampling & filtering in Blender
works.
http://www.blender3d.org/cms/Samples_and_Filtering.723.0.html
This adds Radiance HDR image file support. So now at least we can save
the 'fbuf' (4x32 bits float colors) in Blender.
It doesn't change anything for internal support in imbuf for floa colors,
so when reading .hdr files it still converts it to 32 bits RGBA.
As an extra I've added that saving images with F3 now also adds the
optional extension, when the F10 "Extensions" option is set.
One important note; I don't know the proper license for the code, it was
provided without... will await feedback from Alfredo about it. For now
I've added the standard Blender GPL header.
To enable it you will need to download OpenEXR and install it.
For the Makefiles you will need to set WITH_OPENEXR=true
and set NAN_OPENEXR to point to where OpenEXR is installed.
For scons you'll need to remove config.opts to get the new options
so you can enable OpenEXR, I was not able to get blender to link
with scons so the scons stuff may need to be tweaked a little but
I think it should work.
For other platform managers The OpenEXR stuff is similar to QUICKTIME
you need to define WITH_OPENEXR and setup the library stuff and
as you'll notice in this commit there are two extra files.
