BF-admins agree to remove header information that isn't useful,
to reduce noise.
- BEGIN/END license blocks
Developers should add non license comments as separate comment blocks.
No need for separator text.
- Contributors
This is often invalid, outdated or misleading
especially when splitting files.
It's more useful to git-blame to find out who has developed the code.
See P901 for script to perform these edits.
There were at least three copies of those:
- OB_RECALC* family of flags, which are rudiment of an old
dependency graph system.
- PSYS_RECALC* which were used by old dependency graph system
as a separate set since the graph itself did not handle
particle systems.
- DEG_TAG_* which was used to tag IDs.
Now there is a single set, which defines what can be tagged
and queried for an update. It also has some aggregate flags
to make queries simpler.
Lets once and for all solve the madness of those flags, stick
to a single set, which will not overlap with anything or require
any extra conversion.
Technically, shouldn't be measurable user difference, but some
of the agregate flags for few dependency graph components did
change.
Fixes T58632: Particle don't update rotation settings
- Class constructors without body (only attribute initialisations)
can safely be kept in the class header files
- Constructor variables should be initialized in the order of their
definition in the header files
This change is also aimed to remove a couple of
build warnings from the linux builds.
Most important changes are in the Animation exporter and Animation Importer.
There is still some cleaning up to be done. But the Exporter/Importer basically
work within Blender 2.8
Some details:
User Interface:
The interface has been reorganized to look more like the FBX interface.
New options in user interface:
* keep_keyframes:
When sampling the distance between 2 keyframes is defined by
the sampling rate. Furthermore the keyframes defined in the
FCurves are not exported. However when this option is enabled
then also the defined keyframes will be added to the exported fcurves
* keep_smooth_curves:
When sampling we do not use FCurves. So we also have no Curve handles
for smooth exporting. However when this option is enabled, Blender
does its best to recreate the handles for export. This is a very
experimental feature and it is know to break when:
- the exported animated objects have parent inverse matrices
different from the unit matrix
- The exported objects have negative scaling
There may be many other situations when this feature breaks.
This needs to be further tested. It may be removed later or replaced
by something less wonky.
BlenderContext:
is a new class that contains the bridge to Blender. It contains
pointers to the current export/import context plus derived values
of Depsgraph, Scene, Main
Reporting:
I reorganized the output on the Blender Console to become more
informative and more readable
Preservation of Item names:
name attributes are now encoded with XML entities. This makes
sure that i can export/import names exactly defined in the tool.
This affects material names, bone names and object names.
Hierarchy export:
* Object and Bone Hierarchies are now exported correctly
by taking the Blender parent/child hierarchy into account
* Export also not selected intermediate objects
Problem:
When we export an Object Hierarchy, then we must export
all elements of the hierarchy to maintain the transforms. This
is especially important when exporting animated objects, because the
animation curves are exported as relative curves based on the
parent-child hierarchy. If an intermediate animated object is missing
then the exported animation breaks.
Solution:
If the "Selected" Optioon is enabled, then take care
to also export all objects which are not selected and hidden,
but which are parents of selected objects.
Node Based Material Importer (wip):
Added basic support for Materials with diffuse color and
diffuse textures. More properties (opacity, emission) need
changes in the used shader.
Note: Materials are all constructed by using the principled BSDF shader.
Animation Exporter:
* Massive optimization of the Animation Bake tool (Animation Sampler).
Instead of sampling each fcurve separately, i now sample all
exported fcurves simultaneously. So i avoid many (many!)
scene updates during animation export.
* Add support for Continuous Acceleration (Fcurve handles)
This allows us to create smoother FCurves during importing Collada
Animation curves. Possibly this should become an option ionstead of
a fixed import feature.
* Add support for sampling curves (to bake animations)
* The animation sampler now can be used for any animation curve.
Before the sampler only looked at curves which are supported by
Standard Collada 1.4. However the Collada exporter currently
ignores all animation curves which are not covered by the 1.4.1
Collada Standards. There is still some room for improvements
here (work in progres)
Known issues:
* Some exports do currently not work reliably, among those
are the camera animations, material animations and light animations
those animations will be added back next (work in progres)
* Exporting animation curves with keyframes (and tangents)
sometimes results in odd curves (when parent inverse matrix is involved)
This needs to be checked in more depth (probably it can not be solved).
* Export of "all animations in scene" is disabled because the
Collada Importer can not handle this reliably at the
moment (work in progres).
* Support for Animation Clip export
Added one extra level to the exported animations
such that now all scene animations are enclosed:
<Animation name="id_name(ob)_Action">
<Animation>...</Animation>
...
</Animation>
Animation Importer:
* Import of animations for objects with multiple materials
When importing multiple materials for one object,
the imported material animation curves have all been
assigned to the first material in the object.
Error handling (wip):
The Importer was a bit confused as it sometimes ignored fatal
parsing errors and continued to import. I did my best to
unconfuse it, but i believe that this needs to be tested more.
Refactoring:
update : move generation of effect id names into own function
update : adjust importer/exporter for no longer supported HEMI lights
cleanup: Removed no lopnger existing attribute from the exporter presets
cleanup: Removed not needed Context attribute from DocumentExporter
fix : Avoid duplicate deletion of temporary items
cleanup: fixed indentation and white space issues
update : Make BCAnimation class more self contained
cleanup: Renamed classes, updated comments for better reading
cleanup: Moved static class functions to collada_utils
cleanup: Moved typedefs to more intuitive locations
cleanup: indentation and class method declarations
cleanup: Removed no longer needed methods
update : Moved Classes into separate files
cleanup: Added comments
cleanup: take care of name conventions
... : many more small changes, not helpful to list them all
Notes:
* Really need to address RNA setters case, end up adding way too much
G.main here these days... :/
* Added Main pointer into bAnimContext, helps a lot in anim code ;)
When importing multiple materials for one object,
the imported material animation curves have all been
assigned to the first material in the object.
This fix also improves the console logging whenever the importer
finds a consistency problem with the imported animation data.
When importing an xfov curve, we must transformed the data to
Lens opening angles in degrees. While the curve value itself is
correctly transformed, the transformation of the tangents has been
forgotten. this is fixed now.
The 2 methods add_bezt() and create_bezt() do almost the same.
I combined them both into add_bezt() and added the optional parameter
eBezTriple_Interpolation ipo
This started with a fix for an animated Object Hierarchy. Then i decided to cleanup and optimize a bit. But at the end this has become a more or less full rewrite of the Animation Exporter. All of this happened in a separate local branch and i have retained all my local commits to better see what i have done.
Brief description:
* I fixed a few issues with exporting keyframed animations of object hierarchies where the objects have parent inverse matrices which differ from the Identity matrix.
* I added the option to export sampled animations with a user defined sampling rate (new user interface option)
* I briefly tested Object Animations and Rig Animations.
What is still needed:
* Cleanup the code
* Optimize the user interface
* Do the Documentation

Things like `BLI_uniquename` had nothing, but really nothing to do in
BLI_path_util files!
Also, got rid of length limitation in `BLI_uniquename_cb`, we can use
alloca here to avoid overhead of malloc while keeping free size (within
reasonable limits of course).
- Add blentranslation `BLT_*` module.
- moved & split `BLF_translation.h` into (`BLT_translation.h`, `BLT_lang.h`).
- moved `BLF_*_unifont` functions from `blf_translation.c` to new source file `blf_font_i18n.c`.
The Fix in 273 creates a backward incompatibility:
Collada files that have been created with an older Blender version
will contain the spotlight_size in Radians where Collada wants
this value to be in DEGREE.
This fix adds a check for the Blender Version that was used to create the
Collada file. If the Collada file was made by an older version of Blender
then the importer will assume that spotlight_size is specified in RADIANS.

Exported angles for spot size animation is in radians , however Collada expects it to be in degrees.
This patch is for fixing import and export, and also renaming a variable
