Useful goodies: most buttons for Image window back.
Not every button works! But what you can do:
- press Nkey to show/hide options
- use curves, with realtime updating
- image properties panel, load, browsing layers,
setting types
- paint panel
- plus new paint color picker panel! (why it wasn't
there in 2.4x is probably obvious, but now it can!)
Hrm... radial control should be added here too, and a nice
paint size cursor?
Assorted smaller fixes:
- Fix: modal keymaps for editmode in view3d were not set again
when you copy areas or go fullscreen.
- Improved "redo last op" (F6) to search back in history for
a redoable operator. Operator also used wrong pupmenu type.
- On creating new FCurve editor, the channel rainbow colors are
set correct.
- EditMesh: fixed code for Spin/Screw, correct props, init and
error reporting. (Spin hotkey ALT+R temporary)
- recompiled all to check for uninitialized variable warnings.
(compile flag should be -O for this). Fixed some proto's.
- Node editor: link cut back, now under ALT+LMB, to prevent
accidents. Note it now nicely intersects the real curved
noodles with a line you draw!
- To make above work, replaced ogl curve draw with own bezier
code.
- Added new WM standard operator callback for lines-gesture,
the Lasso gesture now draws a closed line.
- Both callbacks have optional property 'cursor' to make it
give modal info. For future also linestyle or color can be
defined.
- Changed 'pin' icon in Image header to something that looks
less scary... but there's no pin icon yet?
Compo node fixes:
- adding new composite in scene crashed, wrong pointers passed on to
addnode function
- scene render-layer node now gets default scene ID pointer, which
can be viewed/edited with menu in node
- on using headerbuttons in node window, display refreshes now
Safe method to move render results to the displayed image.
It now allocates a single image for display, and on each
refresh callback from render, it copies the refreshed
section over to this image, in 32 bits. While rendering
that image then only shows progress updates, as usual.
This also now works for scenes in composte and results
for composite.
This should solve reported crashes for MBlur or SSS.
Render back! And not only back, even full threaded now. :)
Current state is unfinished, but too much fun to not to
commit for review and test!
WARNING: because render is in a threaded job, it will
use data as can be edited in the UI. That'll crash in many
cases of course... the idea is to limit UI usage to viewing
stuff, especially for the Image Window to inspect layers
or zoom in/out.
What works now;
- F12 render (no anim)
- ESC from render
- ESC pushes back temporary Image Window
- Render to ImageWindow or full-screen.
- Executing composites, and edit composites after render.
Note that the UI is 100% responsive in a render, you can
switch screens, slide area dividers around, or even load
a new file during render. :) It's quite stable even.
I'll collect all crash reports especially to get a good
picture of where the protection is required at least.
Also added: XKey "Delete Objects", to get things crash...
unfortunately it didn't for me.
Big commit, but mainly adminstration.
- Enabled ot->flag OPTYPE_UNDO to work.
- Removed all redundant ED_undo_pushes, but I'd
recommend everyone to check it while testing. :)
- Added view manipulations as OPTYPE_REGISTER,
although this will flood the redo stack a bit...
Nevertheless; for a "redo last action" panel we
can simply check if both flags are set for redo.
- Bugfix in editmode undo: selectmode was cleared,
so you couldn't select after undo
- Bugfix in mixing tweaks and keymaps... solution
works but is weak, need to think over a while.
Compositor now uses threaded jobs.
- updates happen per preview node! Check this file for
fun: http://www.blender.org/bf/composite_image.blend
(any compo node could get preview!)
- had to ensure the composite data gets fully copied before
it executes thread, so editing is not frustrated.
- put back node buttons (missing init)
- added WM_jobs api call to check for running job,
illustrated with red light icon in 'use nodes' button.
- added another callback to WM_jobs, to initialize.
use this init to ensure you only do it when job really
starts.
- added an extra notifier option for WM_jobs, to signal
finished job (like redraw image view)
- fixed file read error, it copied the screen it read,
instead of using it.
- commented out annoying prints for missing ops in imagewin
Added WM Jobs manager
- WM can manage threaded jobs for you; just provide a couple
of components to get it work:
- customdata, free callback for it
- timer step, notifier code
- start callback, update callback
- Once started, each job runs an own timer, and will for
every time step check necessary updates, or close the
job when ready.
- No drawing happens in jobs, that's for notifiers!
- Every job stores an owner pointer, and based on this owner
it will prevent multiple jobs to enter the stack.
Instead it will re-use a running job, signal it to stop
and allow caller to re-initialize it even.
- Check new wm_jobs.c for more explanation. Jobs API is still
under construction.
Fun: BLI_addtail(&wm->jobs, steve); :)
Put Node shader previews back using wmJobs
- Preview calculating is now fully threaded (1 thread still)
- Thanks to new event system + notifiers, you can see
previews update even while dragging sliders!
- Currently it only starts when you change a node setting.
Warning: the thread render shares Node data, so don't delete
nodes while it renders! This topic is on the todo to make safe.
Also:
- bug in region initialize (do_versions) showed channel list in
node editor wrong.
- flagged the channel list 'hidden' now, it was really in the
way! This is for later to work on anyway.
- recoded Render API callbacks so it gets handlers passed on,
no globals to use anymore, remember?
- previewrender code gets now so much nicer! Will remove a lot
of stuff from code soon.
* [Use nodes] added. For future improvements: a panel which enumerates
materials, textures and scenes for selection and editing in the opened
node-editor without having to set it in Buttons (or 'global' scene).
Think global, act local!
The old favorite G.scene gone! Man... that took almost 2 days.
Also removed G.curscreen and G.edbo.
Not everything could get solved; here's some notes.
- modifiers now store current scene in ModifierData. This is not
meant for permanent, but it can probably stick there until we
cleaned the anim system and depsgraph to cope better with
timing issues.
- Game engine G.scene should become an argument for staring it.
Didn't solve this yet.
- Texture nodes should get scene cfra, but the current implementation
is too tightly wrapped to do it easily.
Commit of WIP code (what code isn't wip, these days ;)
- only drawing code as basis to work further from (and have less conflicts between different systems I work on)
