T53783.
Before, profile=1 ("square outside") only worked well in a few cases
(some "pipes", cube corners). This makes it work well pretty much
everywhere.
The old algorithm depended on vertex order.
The new one uses a global least squares solution on chains
and cycles of edges where loop slide induces a dependency.
See https://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Source/Modeling/Bevel
in the "Consistent Widths for Even Bevels" for derivation of
the new algorithm.
A comparison should have not just have been against an epsilon,
but relative to the edge length involved.
Thanks to mano-wii for patch on which this is based.
Patch from Richard Erhardt, with some additions & modifications.
Changes bevel profile shape parameter so that can get arbitrarily
near square profile as parameter -> 1.
Adds code to make profile=0 case work, at least for cube corners,
so changed hard min of profile parameter to 0 from 0.15.
Old bevel 'Clamp overlap' code was very naive: just limit amount
to half edge length. This uses more accurate (but not perfect)
calculations for the max amount before (many) geometry collisions
happen. This is not a backward compatible change - meshes that
have modifiers with 'Clamp overlap' will likely have larger allowed
bevel widths now. But that can be fixed by turning off clamp overlap
and setting the amount to the desired value.
faces.
This was requested by script writers. Especially needed if beveling
wire edges with vertex_only.
Should be backward compatible as just adds two new keys to returned
dict in python ('edges' and 'verts').
Note: the angle in bug isn't really reflex - using the vertex normal
for this test isn't always right, but usually is. At any rate,
shouldn't try to put vertex on edge between if a reflex angle.
The mesh interpolation code had an edge case where one of two
adjacent edges to a vertex has 0 length. This caused an assert
failure indexing the vertex mesh for splash Blenderman.blend.
This is the same issue as was fixed with T39486: the adjustment pass
that tries to equalize different widths at either end of an edge
sometimes causes the widths to get bigger and bigger.
The previous fix was to let "clamp_overlap" do double duty as a way
to limit this behavior. But clearly this is undiscoverable, as the
current bug report shows. So I put in an "auto-limiting" mode that
detects when adjustments are going crazy and then acts as if
clamp_overlap were set.
The reason we can't always act as if clamp_overlap is set is that
certain models (e.g., Bent_test in regression tests) look bad if
that is enabled.
Some adjustments to how bevel edge 'profiles' are adjusted in some
cases. For the bug fix, wanted to handle cases of middle of three
coplanar beveled cases to make profile curve rather than linear
interpolate.
Also undid an earlier decision to make profile plane be perpendicular
to beveled edge i the non-coplanar case.
Bevel had assumed that when rebuilding a face that touches
a vertex with beveled edges, the edges of the face at that vertex
would be adjacent in internal order. That is not necessarily true
if there are edges with more than two faces attached.
We could just prohibit beveling any edges that touch a vertex
where this happens (we already don't bevel non-manifold edges)
but the use case in the model of T47257 seems reasonable.
Also had to fix the edge-ordering code, and the face reconstruction
code to take care of cases where the face normal may not be as expected.
There is an adjustment pass in bevel that tries to make the bevel
widths at either end of a beveled edge as equal as possible.
When there are hundreds of beveled edges end-to-end, these adjustments
can accumulate out of control and result looks awful.
Yet the adjustment pass is sometimes needed to avoid equally awful
appearances in other cases (see the "Bent test" in the bevel regression
tests).
This change uses the 'Clamp overlap' flag of bevel (on by default in
the modifier, not in the tool) to limit the amount of adjustment to within
10% of the desired width. When the flag is off, there is no limit to the
adjustment.
When one edge is beveled at a vertex among more than 1 other unbeveled
edges, the code makes a polygon around the vertex. The position of the
vertices on the non-adjacent-to-beveled-edge edges depended on the
ordering of edges, which leads to inconsistent-looking results in seeming
symmetrical situations. Changed to use the bevel amount as slide
distance, which fixes this.
Two problems fixed. One, the comparison of angles to
'almost straight' or 'almost zero' needed a bigger epsilon.
Two, using the corner normal instead of the average face normal
is usually the right thing to do, and what the code was doing,
but in some cases the corner normal could be very wrong.
Fairly large changes to bevel code to do a better job
of keeping UVs from crossing islands, etc.
Updated http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:2.5/Source/Modeling/Bevel
to explain algorithm used for maintaining UVs.
Updated the bevel_regression.blend tests in lib tests.
Current behavior of bevel is to 'loop slide' along unbeveled edges
when possible, but this produces uneven bevel widths sometimes,
so this option lets user choose between having the loop slide effect
or having more even bevel widths. Trying it out with default being
'no loop slide', so different from current behavior. May reverse this
choice later, depending on user reactions.
Made the test for whether one can "see" an adjacent edge less
knife-close to 180. This means it will chose to slide along
such an edge less often, and avoid some spikes.
Also, changed the algorithm for generating the vertex meshes when not all
edges into a vertex are beveled. Now it tries to slide along edges that
form part of the silhouette when possible; when not possible, it tries
to snap to the best plane in between the beveled edges.
When the multisegment profile joins two unbeveled edges, all in the same
plane, users desire that rather than the current behavior of linear
interpolation between those edges, the profile should curve.
This changes behavior to do that. The old behavior can be obtained
by setting the profile parameter to 0.25, if desired.
