- Added part of Austin's msvc8 fixes (vector::erase function
was "misused"), hopefully compiles better now.
- Ctrl-b now also bakes a selected fluidsim domain
similar to the softbodies.
- Added surface smoothing option for domains: default is
1, higher values result in a smoother surface (and probably
slightly higher comupation times), while 0 means the surface
is not modified at all.
- Added BLENDER_ELBEEMBOBJABORT environment variable in readBobj,
if >0 quits blender when a not yet existing fluidsim
frame should be loaded. Useful for rendering simulations
as far as possible from the command line.
- Surface normals pointer is now set to NULL in readfile.c
- Fixed win32 error string handling, now uses a function
to return the string from the solver.
- Fixed fluidsim particle halo scaling problem.
- Solver update
The bug reported here was already fixed some weeks ago, but there were
more issues. Modifier display in face select and paint modes was never
properly finished.
This fixes some small drawing update glitches, and only allows modifiers
that preserve a mapping to the original mesh to be applied. Otherwise
selection and painting isn't even possible.
issues in parallel... So this commit contains: an update of
the solver (e.g. moving objects), integration of blender IPOs,
improved rendering (motion blur, smoothed normals) and a first particle
test. In more detail:
Solver update:
- Moving objects using a relatively simple model, and not yet fully optimized - ok
for box falling into water, water in a moving glass might cause trouble. Simulation
times are influenced by overall no. of triangles of the mesh, scaling meshes up a lot
might also cause slowdowns.
- Additional obstacle settings: noslip (as before), free slip (move along wall freely)
and part slip (mix of both).
- Obstacle settings also added for domain boundaries now, the six walls of the domain are
obstacles after all as well
- Got rid of templates, should make compiling for e.g. macs more convenient,
for linux there's not much difference. Finally got rid of parser (and some other code
parts), the simulation now uses the internal API to transfer data.
- Some unnecessary file were removed, the GUI now needs 3 settings buttons...
This should still be changed (maybe by adding a new panel for domain objects).
IPOs:
- Animated params: viscosity, time and gravity for domains. In contrast
to normal time IPO for Blender objects, the fluidsim one scales the time
step size - so a constant 1 has no effect, values towards 0 slow it down,
larger ones speed the simulation up (-> longer time steps, more compuations).
The viscosity IPO is also only a factor for the selected viscosity (again, 1=no effect).
- For objects that are enabled for fluidsim, a new IPO type shows up. Inflow
objects can use the velocity channels to animate the inflow. Obstacles, in/outflow
objects can be switched on (Active IPO>0) and off (<0) during the simulation.
- Movement, rotation and scaling of those 3 types is exported from the normal
Blender channels (Loc,dLoc,etc.).
Particles:
- This is still experimental, so it might be deactivated for a
release... It should at some point be used to model smaller splashes,
depending on the the realworld size and the particle generation
settings particles are generated during simulation (stored in _particles_X.gz
files).
- These are loaded by enabling the particle field for an arbitrary object,
which should be given a halo material. For each frame, similar to the mesh
loading, the particle system them loads the simulated particle positions.
- For rendering, I "abused" the part->rt field - I couldnt find any use
for it in the code and it seems to work fine. The fluidsim particles
store their size there.
Rendering:
- The fluidims particles use scaled sizes and alpha values to give a more varied
appearance. In convertblender.c fluidsim particle systems use the p->rt field
to scale up the size and down the alpha of "smaller particles". Setting the
influence fields in the fluidims settings to 0 gives equally sized particles
with same alpha everywhere. Higher values cause larger differences.
- Smoothed normals: for unmodified fluid meshes (e.g. no subdivision) the normals
computed by the solver are used. This is basically done by switching off the
normal recalculation in convertblender.c (the function calc_fluidsimnormals
handles other mesh inits instead of calc_vertexnormals).
This could also be used to e.g. modify mesh normals in a modifier...
- Another change is that fluidsim meshes load the velocities computed
during the simulation for image based motion blur. This is inited in
load_fluidsimspeedvectors for the vector pass (they're loaded during the
normal load in DerivedMesh readBobjgz). Generation and loading can be switched
off in the settings. Vector pass currently loads the fluidism meshes 3 times,
so this should still be optimized.
Examples:
- smoothed normals versus normals from subdividing once:

- fluidsim particles, size/alpha influence 0:

size influence 1:

size & alpha influence 1:
http://www10.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/~sinithue/temp/v060227_5particlesalpha.png
- the standard drop with motion blur and particles:
http://www10.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/~sinithue/temp/elbeemupdate_t2new.mpg
(here's how it looks without
http://www10.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/~sinithue/temp/elbeemupdate_t1old.mpg)
- another inflow animation (moving, switched on/off) with a moving obstacle
(and strong mblur :)
http://www10.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/~sinithue/temp/elbeemupdate_t3ipos.mpg
Things still to fix:
- rotating & scaling domains causes wrong speed vectors
- get rid of SDL code for threading, use pthreads as well?
- update wiki documentation
- cool effects for rendering would be photon maps for caustics,
and motion blur for particles :)
- Mark Border Seam: mark edges on the border of face selection as seam.
- Clear Seam: clears seams in selected faces.
Hotkey: Ctrl+E
- Alt+RMB Click: mark/clear edge as seam
- Alt+Shift+RMB Click: mark/clear seams along the shortest/straightest path
from last marked seam. The cost of the path also includes some measure of
'straightness' next to the typical distance to make things work more
predicatble and edgeloop friendly. Note that this cuts a path from edge to
edge, not vertex to vertex. That gives some nice control over the direction
of the seam.
Also includes:
- Removed old LSCM code.
- Fix updates glitches with DerivedMesh/Subsurf drawing in FaceSelect mode.
Now there's a drawMappedFacesTex instead of drawFacesTex.
- Minimize Stretch menu entry called Limit Stitch.
- Removed the lasttface global, was being set before it was used anyway, so
might as wel return from a function.
- Moved some backbuf sampling code to drawview.c from editmesh, so it can be
used by Faceselect and VPaint.
- Use BLI_heap in parametrizer.c.
- removed debugging output from fluidsim export
- directores with "+" are now valid for fluidsim data
- simulation now always uses frame 1 to endframe, so changing start frame settings should work again
-> Any Group Duplicate now can get local timing and local NLA override. This
enables to control the entire animation system of the Group.
Two methods for this have been implemented.
1) The quick way: just give the duplicator a "Startframe" offset.
2) Advanced: in the NLA Editor you can add ActionStrips to the duplicator
to override NLA/action of any Grouped Object.
For "Group NLA" to work, an ActionStrip needs to know which Object in a
group it controls. On adding a strip, the code checks if an Action was
already used by an Object in the Group, and assigns it automatic to that
Object.
You can also set this in the Nkey "Properties" panel for the strip.
Change in NLA: the SHIFT+A "Add strip" command now always adds strips to
the active Object. (It used to check where mouse was). This allows to add
NLA strips to Objects that didn't have actions/nla yet.
Important note: In Blender, duplicates are fully procedural and generated
on the fly for each redraw. This means that redraw speed equals to stepping
through frames, when using animated Duplicated Groups.
-> Recoded entire duplicator system
The old method was antique and clumsy, using globals and full temporal
copies of Object. The new system is nicer in control, faster, and since it
doesn't use temporal object copies anymore, it works better with Derived
Mesh and DisplayList and rendering.
By centralizing the code for duplicating, more options can be easier added.
Features to note:
- Duplicates now draw selected/unselected based on its Duplicator setting.
- Same goes for the drawtype (wire, solid, selection outline, etc)
- Duplicated Groups can be normally selected too
Bonus goodie: SHIFT+A (Toolbox) now has entry "Add group" too, with a
listing of all groups, allowing to add Group instances immediate.
-> Library System
- SHIFT+F4 data browse now shows the entire path for linked data
- Outliner draws Library Icons to denote linked data
- Outliner operation added: "Make Local" for library data.
- Outliner now also draws Groups in regular view, allowing to unlink too.
-> Fixes
- depsgraph missed signal update for bone-parented Objects
- on reading file, the entire database was tagged to "recalc" fully,
causing unnecessary slowdown on reading.
Might have missed stuff... :)
thus directories in the path are created using RE_make_existing_file
in fluidsim.c)
- changed default output to be '//fluidsimdata/...'
- hopefully fixed bugs #3466 and #3470 (orco texture coords caused
problems when the fluidsim mesh was bigger than the original one,
one no other deformations were used - new deformedVerts are now
allocated in this case in DerivedMesh.c)
replace the original one. so modifiers now work with them
(apply modifier, or edit mode still work on original mesh).
this should fix the three fluidsim bugs in the tracker.
- fixed stupid makesdna problem (writing "char string[160+80]" isnt
a good idea :)
- changed GUI a bit, now displays an estimate of the required memory,
there's still a problem with redrawing (currently relies on a call
to the derived mesh generation)
- the fluidsim struct changed to store the bounding box,
and the current loaded surface mesh
- temporary simulation files are now removed if env. var.
BLENDER_DELETEELBEEMFILES is not set or zero
- fluidsimSettingsFree now gets properly called when freeing an object
Note that the current default generates particles based on the original
amount of vertices and faces, this for vertex group support (which is not
subdivided with modifiers). That means that particles generated on
subsurfed faces still have minor approximation errors.
Note for DerivedMesh users; I've added a new API call:
float *mesh_get_mapped_verts_nors(Object *ob);
Which returns an array of 2 * 3 * float size, containing the vertices and
normals, deformed and subsurfered, but only the original me->mvert amount.
Works in all non-editmode cases.
Is in use now for vertex/weight paint and particles.
If a Mesh was "Auto Smooth", it was drawing as smooth in editmode, and
not as smooth in Object mode. Should be consistant.
Better even would be draw autosmooth info, but that's derivedmesh magic now!
returned NULL in editmode was invalidated which caused a crash in
particles (was freeing subsurf cache). I can't remember but hope
that I didn't intentionally break this assumption for some
reason. :/
- debug output now controlled globally by elbeem debug level
(BLENDER_ELBEEMDEBUG environment var), also for fluidsimBake
and read/writeBobj
- debug output is written to file for WIN32
- added "for" and "vector" etc. defines for MSVC6
(I couldnt get hold of the compiler itself, so not tested yet)
User doc: http://www.blender3d.org/cms/Shape_Keys.678.0.html
- The mixed use of "Vertex Key","Key" or "RVK" in Blender was a bit
confusing. Also a 'vertex key' assumes keys per vertex, which actually is
only a single key for the entire shape. The discussions on blender.org
forums all mentioned "Shape" or "Blend Shapes", which I think is an OK
name for a "Vertex Key" in the UI. :)
- Most work was code spaghetti cleanup. Doing shape-keys now nicely goes
via the depgraph and DerivedMesh. That then allows to have different
shapes per object, with the new "Pin" feature.
Objects now define what Shape is shown (ob->shapenr)
- Added a Shape Panel in the Edit buttons with the various options
- Fixed a lot of issues in the IpoWindow, with drawing the channels.
For example, deleting a key-line there caused the entire Relative option to
go wrong, same for moving the lines up/down.
Changing key-line order now reflects in order of channels. The active
Shape is drawn more clear now too.
- Noticed it doesnt work yet for curves/lattice. Need modifier advise!
by daniel before. :)
Note; the shaded display uses smooth normals by default, because thats how
the derived mesh works!
Daniel; I've changed the G_WEIGHTPAINT hack in derivedmesh code... no idea
how this could work even. Still ugly though.
(fixed shadowed variables warnings, removed cfgparser.hpp,
added cfgparser.h, removed debugging output)
- added support for env. var BLENDER_ELBEEMDEBUG to enable
debugging output again
- fixed missing triangle display (marching cubes produced v3=0 triangles)
- fixed geometry init bug (nearest intersection check
for intersecting objects was messed up)
- changed position of derived mesh creation in DerivedMesh.c
(for some reason the useDeform code is necessary, without it or
with useDeform=0 nothing is displayed)
- 3dviews now update every 2 seconds to show simulation progress
- note: mesh_strip_loose_faces(me); in ./source/blender/blenkernel/intern/mesh.c:937
not necessary anymore?
reads from the old mface->edcode flag to set edge drawing.
ALso; added a pointer check in draw_mesh_object(), here the derivedmesh
gives NULL on reading regression file lostride.blend. Zr needs to check!
- convert weightpaint/vertexpaint to draw using drawMappedFaces, slightly
hacky because during weightpaint mcol's get overridden in order to
have them propogate through modifiers. should work fine.
- add NULL check in shaded draw, prevents crash w/ dupliframe
- revert to drawLooseEdges instead of general drawEdgesFlag
- ditched TFace edge flags, done dynamically now which also
means don't need to recalc surface on flag changes
- added BLI_edgehash, guess what it does
to get rid of faces with MFace.v3==0
- change all Mesh's to have ->medge now. This is forced by make_edges
on readfile, and in the various exotic important routines, and on
conversion back in python.
- make python NMesh structure always have medges now (needs testing)
- with above two changes it is guarenteed that mf->v3 is never ==0
in main blender code (i.e., all MFace's are actually triangles
or quads) and so I went through and removed all the historic tests
to deal with MFace.v3==0. Equals lots of deleting, I am in heaven!
- removed MEdge edcode flag, no longer needed
- added experimental replacement for edge flag system
Still are some inconsistencies in FACESELECT mode edge drawing to
be ironed out.
NOTE: This commit adds an experimental edge flag calc system, based
on 10-seconds-of-thought algorithm by yours truly. Would appreciate
feedback on how this system works, esp compared to old one and esp
on complex or interesting models.
To Use: New system is enabled by setting G.rt to a value between
1 and 1000 (Value of 0 uses old system). Value 1000 is reserved for
"auto" edge, which is more or less identical to old system but also
makes sure that at least 10% of edges are drawn (solves errors for
super subdivided meshes). Values between 1 and 999 act as percent
(out of 1000) of edges that should be drawn, starting with "most
interesting" edges first. Please try it and comment!
mapping (instead of Edit{Vert,Edge,Face} pointers)
- dropped convertToDispListMeshMapped (whew, glad of it too)
- added DerivedMesh drawMappedFaces function
- dropped EM suffix for DerivedMesh functions, it was neither
particularly correct nor descriptive
- converted test_index_mface to test_index_face that also corrects
MCol and TFace. Good thing we had three versions of this routine,
you never know when one might burn down.
- removed flipnorm_mesh, not used anymore (and was incorrect to
boot)
- Getting face select to work with modifiers turned out to be much
more complicated than expected. Reworked mapping architecture for
modifiers - basically elements in a DispListMesh are now required
to be stored in an order that corresponds exactly to original
ordering. MVert/MEdge/MFace all have a new flag ME_XXX_STEPINDEX
that is set on each element that is set on the first derived element
of each original element. I can't say the code to follow these
requirements for subsurf is particularly transparent, but on the
upside it is a reasonably consistent and simple system that is memory
efficient and allows keeping the DispListMesh structure.
- rewrote mirror modifier to be simpler/conform to new requirements
for mapped DispListMesh structure. This also means that mirror interacts
much better with incremental subsurf calculation (it used to recalc
one entire side on any topology change, now it generally avoids that).
- added EM_{init,free}_index_arrays and EM_get_{vert,edge,face}_for_index
functions to handle mapping indices back into appropriate EditMesh
structures.
- bug fix, make edges didn't recalc object data
- bug fix, initial image assignment to TFace's didn't recalc object data
- new feature, added circle select support for FACESELECT
- bug fix, creating new faces in editmode duplicated the TFACE active
flag - but there should only be one active tface
- bug fix, possible crash when deleting all faces in faceselect mode
on mesh with tfaces...
Still todo: TFace edge drawing is still not always correct in face
mode, in particular with a mirror modifier when mesh has edges (and
no preceeding subsurf). Have not yet decided how to deal with this.
Best solution is probably to do switch to meshes all having MEdge's,
in which case I can get rid of TFace edge flags (and need to recalc
modifiers on tface selection change).
- removed DerivedMesh.drawLooseEdges and replaced with much more
general drawEdgesFlag function that draws based edge flags.
- switch DerivedMesh.drawFacesTex to give user control over which
faces are drawn
- added object_uvs_changed and object_tface_flags_changed functions
to do object recalc flag flush/redraw queueing and added calls
in appropriate places
- added various edge flags to mark TFace information. This is used
by the drawEdgesFlag routine and was the best way I could come
up with to deal with drawing TFace information from modifier stack.
Unfortunate side effects are (1) uses a lot of MEdge flags (although
not needed in file so thats fine) and (2) requires recalculation
of modifier stack on UV selection changes. #2 is disappointing
but I could not find a better solution.
- update UV mesh shadow drawing to use modifier result. At the moment
just uses the final result but probably should be integrated with
the editmode cage option.
- convert draw_tfaces3D to use drawEdgesFlag routine which cleaned
up the code quite a bit.
- convert draw_tface_mesh to draw using result of modifier stack.
Same comment about which result actually gets draw in FACESELECT
mode as for UV editor shadow drawing applies.
There is a still a bug in that selection is using the wrong
mesh to draw.
- Option is in EditButtons, Armature panel.
- Currently only local X-axis mirror (seems to be default anyway)
- Transform then applies changes to the mirrored-name bone as well.
- Extrude: also does the counterpart Bone
- New: SHIFT+E extrude: extrudes 2 mirrored Bones out of a normal Bone.
(creating names by appening _L and _R)
Or in short: you can now model a full rig without any manual naming!
Of course the names are not too nice... a couple of ideas to explore;
- rename a mirrored bone renames counterpart too
- allow in weightpaint mode to select Bones
- and of course mirrored edit in PoseMode (if that's useful...)
Important note: I tweaked the naming convention a bit; names like
Bone_L.005 and Bone_R.005 are considered counterparts. However, if
you use the "Flip names" option, the number extension is still
truncated.
BTW: Commits in Zr's code are fixes for gcc warnings. :)
with "loose" edges (edges without a face) and drawing in
solid mode. they would either not draw, or draw with a nasty
selection outline. Added a ME_LOOSEEDGE flag to mark such
edges in displists/mesh and editmode sets it.
- changed DerivedMesh drawEdges to take an argument whether
it should draw loose edges or not
- added ME_EDGERENDER flag, barely changes things atm except makes
sure plain meshes with FasterDraw/etc set still render all edges.
The edge drawing system needs a bit of a revamping - it is a cool
feature but could use several improvements:
(1) The algorithm could be better in choosing the best edges to
draw.
(2) The drawflags should interact well with modifiers. It is wierd
to have a large grid with a deformer that draws no edges because
flags are only calculated based on base mesh.
(3) Drawflags should not be destroyed by editmode. Better design
would be a "Draw % of edges" button.
Of course, could also be the feature is not worth it and we
should just drop. Feel free to comment if you have an opinion.
sticky, dvert, and keys if number of verts don't match)
- changed modifier panel to not allow manual addition of hook or
softbody modifiers
- changed apply modifier to apply to existing mesh (fixes bug with
materials) and to warn about loss of tface/mcol/keys/dvert/sticky
for all modifier types
- changed modifier UI to not display disclosure triangle for virtual
modifiers
- changed softbody ui to allow enable/disable
but including "virtual" modifiers (for example, an object skel-parented
to a lattice has a virtual first lattice modifier)
- removed mesh_modifier(), all functionality has been incorporated into
modifier stack (well, keys still don't exist as a modifier, but I am
not sure if they should).
- added interface option to convert a virtual modifier into a real modifier
- added option to parent to lattice object or lattice with deform
- bug fix, patch of hook indices patched all hooks (oops) not just ones
for edited mesh
NOTE: Files saved with 2.38 that include an object parented to a lattice
will not load correctly, because it will look like the object is parented
only to the object (i.e. without deform). Can be simply fixed by reparenting
or adding a lattice modifier. Older files are handled automatically.
can only follow deform (for example, they store mesh vertex
indices)
- added ModifierType.foreachObjectLink for iterating over Object
links inside modifier data (used for file load, relinking, etc)
- switched various modifiers_ functions to take object argument
instead of ListBase
- added user editable name field to modifiers
- bug fix, duplicate and make single user didn't relink object
pointers in modifier data
- added modifiers to outliner, needs icon
- added armature, hook, and softbody modifiers (softbody doesn't
do anything atm). added conversion of old hooks to modifiers.
NOTE-THE-FIRST: User name field is not initialized on loading 2.38 files
so if you have saved stuff with a cvs blender you will see blank names.
NOTE-THE-SECOND: Since modifiers aren't evaluated yet for non-Mesh
objects, hooks for lattices and curves are broken. Don't updated if
you actually, say, *use* Blender.
NOTE-THE-THIRD: Old hooks used a quirky weighting system during
deformation which can't be extended to modifiers. On the upside,
I doubt anyone relied on the old quirky system and the new system
makes much more sense. (Although the way falloff works is still
quite stupid I think).
- added several useful utility functions to editmesh,
these can simplify/clarify a lot of mesh code, check them
out
- cleaned up EdgeSlide a bit to be clearer/shorter
o bug fix, EdgeSlide did not always cancel correctly
o bug fix, EdgeSlide did not choose initial "control" edge
correctly after calc_meshverts_ext change
worked properly with modifiers. Needs more testing I am sure.
No, honestly, I wasn't just cleaning for the hell of it, it
was *necessary* (I would never do such a thing). Selection should
work completely with cage options of modifiers now.
- added DerivedMesh foreach functions to iterate over mapped
verts/edges/face centers. These replaced some of the drawing
functions and are more general anyway. Special edge drawing
functions remain for performance reasons.
- removed EditFace xs, ys fields
- added general functions to iterate over screen coordinates of
mesh/curve/lattice objects
- removed all calc_*verts* functions that were used for storing
screen coordinates in objects. they were recalc'd on the fly
for most situations anyway, so now we just always do that.
calc_*verts_ext was one of those calls that did dirty things
deep down in the callstack (changing curarea and poking at
matrices)
- rewrote all vertex level selection routines (circle, lasso, bbox)
and closest vertex routines (rightmouse select) to use the new
system. This cleaned up the selection code a lot and the structure
of selection is much easier to see now. This is good for future
work on allowing modifiers to completely override the selection
system. It also points out some discrepancies in the way selection
is handled that might be nice to resolve (mesh vertex selection has
fancy stuff to try to help with selecting overlapping, but it only
works w/o bbuf select, and curves/lattices don't have at all).
- had to remove ton's code to move Manipulator to cage location, this
is not reliable (can come up with a different method if requested)
- as it happens BezTriple.s and BPoint.s are basically available to
be removed, just need to rewrite editipo code that still does
background calc of screen coordinates
- MVert.{xs,ys} are still around because they are abused in some places
for other info (not sure if this is safe actually, since they are
short's and the mvert limit went up).
And did I mention this commit is comes out to -305 lines? Well it does.
drawMappedEdges
- added DerivedMesh.convertToDispListMeshMapped function which converts and
also returns mapping information for use in editmode
- updated DispListMesh derivedmesh to be able to function in editmode
- update mirror modifier to support use as a cage
- update mirror & subsurf modifiers to properly pass mapping information down
modifier stack
It is now possible to have a mesh with mirror/subsurf modifiers where you
can edit with both as cage. Selecting the mirror'd part works, but of course
transform is flipped so it is a bit weird. Not the cleanest code in the
world and I can't say I am really happy with the architecture but it works for
now and supports the existing feature set.
DLM to share data from DerivedMesh (reduces some copying/memory allocation)
- added displistmesh_copyShared function to copy a DLM but not duplicate any
internal data
- changed crease drawing to use DerivedMesh functions... this means varying
edge width style of creases had to go, I replaced by using varying color to
show crease weight instead. Don't think this is a big loss since the subsurf
result gives you a much better indication of the crease weight anyway.
- bug fix in mirror modifier, didn't copy edge creases from editmesh correctly
is in editmode. current bevahaior is to display the object that is
actually in editmode with its modifiers, and all other objects that
share the mesh using just the base editmesh data. this is not 100%
consistent but no architecture at the moment to display all objects
that have mesh in editmode with each individual modifier stack.
- moved back to editing buttons, where life is now cramped... switched
to constraint style foldout panes, still a WIP. In particular not
sure what buttons should be in header (and if current toggles stay
in header if they should also be in an expanded pane). Also need
new icons for move up/move down (and drag and drop would of course
be nice). Finally current plane is to make it so modifiers will
expand out in modifier pane for horizontal orientations instead of
just going down down down to goblin town.
- added error field to modifiers that is displayed in UI, need to have
some way for modifiers to return errors back to interface (esp. important
for python)
- tweaked cage determination and handling, currently the editmode cage
is determined by last modifier with OnCage set that is preceeded completely
by modifiers that support mapping or are disabled in editmode. it is
kinda confusing, but the interface only lets you toggle OnCage for modifiers
that support it - it just might not be clear all the time why you can't
toggle a certain modifier OnCage.
- update displistmesh_copy to only copy edges if non-NULL
There is a display bug that already existed but is more obvious with
new modifiers where parts of the pane get drawn in a different area
after toggling editmode. It has to do with drawing parts of the interface
using GL instead of 100% buttons. I try to keep my grubby little toes
out of the interface code so this can wait for Ton to return.
- remove python access to Optimal and Subsurf flags (they don't
work this way anymore, I suppose need to replace with python
access to modifiers but not going to do right now).
- removed interface access to OPTIMAL mode, needs to be rethough...
this means at the moment subsurfs outside editmode always draw
and render all edges
