were cached once at the start, but these can change when modifiers are
executed, now it simply doesn't cache them anymore, that was only really
a performance bottleneck when it was caching individual vertices.
- added an option to BLI_convertstringframe and BLI_convertstringframe_range to add digits if not found.
- removed BLI_convertstringframe where its obviously not needed - such as loading movies and sounds.
(which is enabled by default). If there was a problem reading or writing
in the compression process, the original .blend file could get lost. Now
errors are checked, and writing is done as follows:
write .blend@ -> compress .blend@ to .blend@.gz ->
rename .blend@.gz to .blend -> remove .blend@
We've had blender crash here, lose the original .blend and leave an
empty .blend@. It is not clear to me where this would happen in practice
if there is enough disk space and permissions are correct, so the actual
crash is likely not fixed by this commit.
Blender too now! :)
** Drag works as follows:
- drag-able items are defined by the standard interface ui toolkit
- each button can get this feature, via uiButSetDragXXX(but, ...).
There are calls to define drag-able images, ID blocks, RNA paths,
file paths, and so on. By default you drag an icon, exceptionally
an ImBuf
- Drag items are registered centrally in the WM, it allows more drag
items simultaneous too, but not implemented
** Drop works as follows:
- On mouse release, and if drag items exist in the WM, it converts
the mouse event to an EVT_DROP type. This event then gets the full
drag info as customdata
- drop regions are defined with WM_dropbox_add(), similar to keymaps
you can make a "drop map" this way, which become 'drop map handlers'
in the queues.
- next to that the UI kit handles some common button types (like
accepting ID or names) to be catching a drop event too.
- Every "drop box" has two callbacks:
- poll() = check if the event drag data is relevant for this box
- copy() = fill in custom properties in the dropbox to initialize
an operator
- The dropbox handler then calls its standard Operator with its
dropbox properties.
** Currently implemented
Drag items:
- ID icons in browse buttons
- ID icons in context menu of properties region
- ID icons in outliner and rna viewer
- FileBrowser icons
- FileBrowser preview images
Drag-able icons are subtly visualized by making them brighter a bit
on mouse-over. In case the icon is a button or UI element too (most
cases), the drag-able feature will make the item react to
mouse-release instead of mouse-press.
Drop options:
- UI buttons: ID and text buttons (paste name)
- View3d: Object ID drop copies object
- View3d: Material ID drop assigns to object under cursor
- View3d: Image ID drop assigns to object UV texture under cursor
- Sequencer: Path drop will add either Image or Movie strip
- Image window: Path drop will open image
** Drag and drop Notes:
- Dropping into another Blender window (from same application) works
too. I've added code that passes on mousemoves and clicks to other
windows, without activating them though. This does make using multi-window
Blender a bit friendler.
- Dropping a file path to an image, is not the same as dropping an
Image ID... keep this in mind. Sequencer for example wants paths to
be dropped, textures in 3d window wants an Image ID.
- Although drop boxes could be defined via Python, I suggest they're
part of the UI and editor design (= how we want an editor to work), and
not default offered configurable like keymaps.
- At the moment only one item can be dragged at a time. This is for
several reasons.... For one, Blender doesn't have a well defined
uniform way to define "what is selected" (files, outliner items, etc).
Secondly there's potential conflicts on what todo when you drop mixed
drag sets on spots. All undefined stuff... nice for later.
- Example to bypass the above: a collection of images that form a strip,
should be represented in filewindow as a single sequence anyway.
This then will fit well and gets handled neatly by design.
- Another option to check is to allow multiple options per drop... it
could show the operator as a sort of menu, allowing arrow or scrollwheel
to choose. For time being I'd prefer to try to design a singular drop
though, just offer only one drop action per data type on given spots.
- What does work already, but a tad slow, is to use a function that
detects an object (type) under cursor, so a drag item's option can be
further refined (like drop object on object = parent). (disabled)
** More notes
- Added saving for Region layouts (like split points for toolbar)
- Label buttons now handle mouse over
- File list: added full path entry for drop feature.
- Filesel bugfix: wm_operator_exec() got called there and fully handled,
while WM event code tried same. Added new OPERATOR_HANDLED flag for this.
Maybe python needs it too?
- Cocoa: added window move event, so multi-win setups work OK (didnt save).
- Interface_handlers.c: removed win->active
- Severe area copy bug: area handlers were not set to NULL
- Filesel bugfix: next/prev folder list was not copied on area copies
** Leftover todos
- Cocoa windows seem to hang on cases still... needs check
- Cocoa 'draw overlap' swap doesn't work
- Cocoa window loses focus permanently on using Spotlight
(for these reasons, makefile building has Carbon as default atm)
- ListView templates in UI cannot become dragged yet, needs review...
it consists of two overlapping UI elements, preventing handling icon clicks.
- There's already Ghost library code to handle dropping from OS
into Blender window. I've noticed this code is unfinished for Macs, but
seems to be complete for Windows. Needs test... currently, an external
drop event will print in console when succesfully delivered to Blender's WM.
* Particle collision with size was broken since raytrace optimizations by jaguarandi, now the collision code falls back to old slower method when the collision ray has a radius.
* Single goal/avoid object now works for boids.
* Some tiny improvements on collision avoidance for boids.
Basically two simple changes, changes, I pulled in the faster
ghash in bmesh (which uses mempools for allocation, providing
a substanstial speedup in some cases, and also I inlined some
of the functions), and I changed __inline to __forceinline for inlining
of math functions.
I also removed the timer in the view3d zoom op (ctrl-middlemouse)
that was making it nonfunctional. Why was that there?
* inline some more functions, from math_base and math_vector
* also made some changes to the way inline is done so it can
work for more than one file
* reflect_v3_v3v3 requires input vectors to be normalized now.
* added rgb_to_grayscale
* added zero_v4, copy_v4_v4, swap_v4_v4, is_one_v3
* added box_clip_bounds_m4 to clip a bounding box against a
projection matrix
to wait for an item to be put in the queue and then pop immediately without,
this makes it possible to avoid sleep() while waiting for the results of a
thread.
replaces another so it can do updates (e.g. dopesheet editor can
sync channel selection).
Also coded a simple optimization for allocating small objects,
based on mempools. It's #ifdef'd out, you can enabled it by
defining OPTIMIZE_SMALL_BLOCKS (e.g. adding -DDOPTIMIZE_SMALL_BLOCKS to
your compiler flags).
We suffer from a great deal of performance loss from the system allocator
(vgroups, ghash, edgehash, the singly-linked list implementation in blenlib,
editmesh, and likely a great many areas I'm forgetting), and this is the
common solution for handling the many-small-objects problem. It's not
really production-ready yet (it's long-term memory consequencers need to
be profiled first, and the implementation tweaked as necassary), but for
people on systems with slow system allocators it's worth trying.
Note that since this creates a guardedalloc<->blenlib link, the build systems
need to be updated accordingly (I've already done this for scons, though I'm
not sure if the player builds).
similar to sequence editor.

Also added 0 key (zero key) shortcut when mouse is over a button, to reset it to its default value.
Same as the RMB menu ->Reset to Default, except for color wheels, it only resets the hue/sat/value
components that that widget affects.
Peter/Xavier: The existing color balance code can generate NaNs (fractional power of a negative),
which causes havoc along the image pipeline. I added a check in the node code to prevent this.
Still plenty of potential for lots of better colour correction tools in the compositor, just needs time...
A solid color backdrop is now drawn behind the mute/protect toggles and sliders, reducing the visual clutter with long names still appearing behind the UI widgets.
/* given an array with some invalid values this function interpolates valid values
* replacing the invalid ones */
int interp_sparse_array(float *array, int list_size, float skipval)
* utility function BLI_findstring to avoid listbase lookup loops everywhere.
eg:
ListBase *lb= objects= &CTX_data_main(C)->object;
Object *ob= BLI_findstring(lb, name, offsetof(ID, name) + 2);
* made some more math functions use const's, (fix warnings I made in previous commits)
Useful if you have 2 different characters with the same base mesh (matching indicies), and want to copy a facial expression for eg, from one to another.
Durian request to re-use shapes between characters.
* Copies the active shape to other selected objects
* Different methods to apply the shape
* * OFFSET, simple translation offset
* * RELATIVE (EDGE/FACE), Use Barycentric transformation to copy the shape. This means the target mesh can be a different orientation and scale and the shape should still apply since the surrounding geometry is used as a basis for the offset.
bug: barycentric transform's depth was inverted.
Note:
* This isnt added into a menu yet,
* This cant be redone since adding a shape key messes up the redo stack. needs fixing for other scripts too.
From 2 triangles and 1 point, the relative position between the point and the first triangle is applied to the second triangle to find the target point.
the barycentric weights are calculated in 2D space with a signed area so values outside the triangle bounds are supported.
wrapped by python:
pt_to = Geometry.BarycentricTransform(pt_from, t1a, t1b, t1c, t2a, t1b, t1c)
NOTE:
- moved some barycentric weight functions out of projection painting into the math lib.
- ended up making some of the math functions use const args.
TODO:
- support exceptional cases. zero area tries and similar.
