* Moved render layer-specific Freestyle options to a separate "Freestyle"
tab (in addition to the "Freestyle: Line Style" tab that has been introduced
in the previous commit).
* Added UI controls for specifying feature edge selection criteria in the
Parameter Editor mode. Feature edge selection starts with a set of all
feature edges in the view map. Each line set specifies edge selection
criteria (e.g., to select only visible crease edges) by enabling appropriate
UI controls (e.g., by turning on the "Crease" and "Visibility" toggle
buttons). Selected criteria are combined by logical conjunction. Logical
disjunction (e.g., "crease edges or contours") is represented by two or
more line sets.
* Slightly rearranged several UI controls in the Python Scripting mode.
This commit is just meant to give the new GUI framework a concrete shape.
There is no usefulness in newly introduced elements at the moment.
Freestyle options in render layers now include a pull-down menu named Control
Mode that allows you to choose either the Python Scripting or Parameter Editor
mode. The Python Scripting mode is the conventional way of controlling
Freestyle by directly using style modules written in Python. The Parameter
Editor is a new control mode that is intended to be used by everyone without
relying on Python programming.
In the Parameter Editor mode, you can specify multiple line sets for each
render layer. A line set defines feature edge selection criteria, as
well as a line style for drawing the selected feature edges using specific
line stylization parameters. Line style is a new datablock type, meaning
that a line style can be shared by multiple line sets (possibly those in
different render layers in different scenes).
Much more additions are anticipated in subsequent commits to implement UI
controls for specifying feature edge selection criteria and line stylization
parameters.
An entry "Crease Angle" has been added to the Layers tab of the Render
buttons, to allow users to specify an angle (between 0 and 180) used for
crease edge detection. An edge is considered a crease edge if the angle
between two faces sharing the edge is smaller than the threshold. The
default value is 134.43 degrees (for backward compatibility). Be aware
that a larger threshold leads to a larger number of feature edges and
thus a larger memory consumption.
A checkbox "Material Boundaries" has been added to the Freestyle
options in the Layers tab of the Render buttons. By enabling the
option, any edge between two faces with different materials is
detected as a feature edge. In style modules, edges at material
boundaries can be tested with pyNatureUP1D(Nature.MATERIAL_BOUNDARY).
*The narrowui value was hard coded in all ui scripts, made an user preferences option. Basically this value determines on which area width, it should switch between dual/single column layout.
ToDo: The Changes only take effect when reloading scripts/restarting Blender (after saving as default). Will maybe add the "Reload Scripts" operator next to the button in the future.
* Small fix for Fluid Add Button, when in single column mode. Didn't expand like the other "Add" Buttons.
'Mask layers' should be visible always, they still work to mask out objects on
layers when zmask isn't on (zmask is slightly different.. a bit confusing)
Icon tweaks too
This adds a new presets menu in the splash screen and the Input section of
User Preferences to choose a preset interaction style, consisting of key configurations
and also other user preferences such as select mouse button, view rotation style, etc.
Currently, just 'Blender' and 'Maya' presets are included, hopefully we can have more
presets contributed (and maintained!) by the community.
It's best to keep these presets minimal to avoid too many key conflicts. In the Maya one
I changed the view manipulation key/mouse combos and also the transform
manipulator keys, not much more than that.
To save an interaction preset, open the user preferences Input section, and press the
[ + ] button next to the presets menu. It will save out a .py file containing any edited key
maps and navigation preferences to the presets/interaction folder in your scripts folder.
---
Part of this commit changes the way that key maps are exported/displayed in
preferences - now partial key configs are allowed. Previously it would export/import the
entire key configuration, regardless of whether individual key maps were edited or not
(which would make them more susceptible to conflicts in unexpected areas).
(note, in blender terminology, a key map is a category of key items, such as
'Object Mode' or 'View 2d'.)
Now, the export and the UI display work in a similar way to how key maps are
processed internally - Locally edited key maps (after pressing the 'Edit' button) are
processed first, falling back to other key maps in the current key config, and then falling
back to the default key config. So it's possible for a key config to only include a few
key maps, and the rest just gets pulled from the default key config. The preferences
UI display works like this too behind the scenes in deciding what to show users,
however using it is just like it was before, the complexity is hidden.
Supports default OSX codecs : Linear PCM, Apple Lossless and AAC
Note that AAC codec doesn't support sample rates above 48kHz. If a python/rna guru knows how to easily enforce this limit, he is welcome!
Enjoy making Quicktime movies now with audio!
encoding format
Bypassed existing hardcoded ffmpeg presets that executed when changing
format, replaced with bpy presets.
Leaving old code there for now, haven't got python/rna access to the ffmpeg
id properties.. Anyone know how to do this?
Code snippets here: http://www.pasteall.org/11657/c
Running scripts directly didnt call the register function, even though this is not essential its good to be able to run a script directly and see changes in the UI.
- recode of the whole sequencer audio handling
- encode audio flag removed, instead you choose None as audio codec, added None for video codec too
- ffmpeg formats/codecs: enabled: theora, ogg, vorbis; added: matroska, flac (not working, who can fix?), mp3, wav
- sequencer wave drawing
- volume animation (now also working when mixing down to a file!)
- made sequencer strip position and length values unanimatable
Disables save buffers and full sample when render border is turned on (render doesn't work otherwise because save buffers doesn't support border rendering).
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.
