After loading file, the Undo-push happened too early, causing an
undo for the first action to show animated setups wrong.
(material.c: removed old crap)
The icons for materials were always lagging or not updating
at all. I also found it suspicious slow...
It appeared that the icons now store a "mip level", where for
every change in Materials 2 render jobs for icons were started,
one for 32x32 pix, one for 96x96. The latter was cancelling out
the first job almost always.
Also made preview renders detect size, to set amount of tiles
to be rendered. Small icons use 1 part, larger previews 16 now.
All in all, behaves much smoother now! But, will also update
the thread Jobs manager to allow "delayed jobs" like for icons,
these are aggressively put as first in the jobs list.
A note for branch users: CMake 2.8 on 64-bit Windows Vista raised
an error in line 948 of soc-2008-mxcurioni/CMakeLists.txt due to
an invalid argument for the blender_include_dirs macro:
blender_include_dirs(${OPENGL_INCLUDE_DIR})
The command above should be:
blender_include_dirs("${OPENGL_INCLUDE_DIR}")
Preview render for node shaders broke, caused by localizing
materials last week, to prevent thread crashes. Fixed now.
Also added a temp fix to draw color-management corrected
node previews default. Will follow scene setting tomorrow.
Also: SSS in nodes doesn't render yet. Was issue in 2.4 too...
Two isses:
- Material assigning to MetaBalls used wrong pointer
(copy paste error, casting badly).
- Checking for node-material used wrong RNA pointer
(confusing void stuff going on here!)
The error leads to corruption in data and/or random
crashes. Better update svn now!
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.
- set_frame() --> frame_set()
- set_context_pointer() --> context_pointer_set()
material adding works for curves and metaballs, new function to remove materials.
materials.link() didnt well fit how this is used elsewhere
- order matters
- it can be linked more than once.
- remove(material), isnt that useful since you need to manage indicies.
... use list style functions instead. materials.append(mat) / materials.pop(index)
- if a group has one or more objects in it, it gets a refcount of 1 on load (unchanged from before)
- dupli-groups, and materials no longer add/remove a reference.
- now groups are only freed when they contain no objects or when manually unlinked.
- BGE Shader.setSampler(name, index): index range check was wrong.
- Compositor check for an invalid channel was incorrect.
- getting the center of selected verts used an uninitalized z axis.
- do_init_render_material() used && rather then & when testing for MA_TRANSP.
- weight paint activate flipped bone used && rather then & for flag checking.
Transparent strokes are rendered by means of transparent vertex colors.
To make this possible, Blender's internal renderer has been slightly
extended to allow transparent vertex colors. When Material::vcol_alpha
is non-zero, the renderer takes MCol::a into account.
Ambient occlusion: multiplied with direct lighting by default, add
is also still available and more blending methods might be added if
they are useful. This is fundamentally a non physical effect.
Environment lighting: always added as you would expect (though you can
subtract by specifying negative energy). This can be just white or take
colors or textures from the world.
Indirect lighting: only supported for AAO at the moment (and is still
too approximate), and also is always added. A factor is available to
specify how much is added, though value 1.0 is correct.
Also:
* Material ambient value now defaults to 1.0.
* Added Environment, Indirect and Emit pass.
* "Both" blending method is no longer available.
* Attenuation, sampling parameters are still shared, some could be split
up, though if they are different this would affect performance.
Also: Changed 'Spread' value to be proportional to the light cache voxel grid
(i.e. 0.5 spreads half the width of the grid), so that it's independent of light
cache resolution. This means that results should be similar as you increase/
decrease resolution.
* Convert all code to use new functions.
* Branch maintainers may want to skip this commit, and run this
conversion script instead, if they use a lot of math functions
in new code:
