Main problem is missing docs still... Bob is working on it, he'll also
make tooltips for all buttons.
Some UI things might change too, like more clear names.
A Plumiferos wishlist item: Markers working in the Action Editor too.
* The user can choose between displaying the scene markers (i.e. the
markers shown in the timeline) or the markers specific to each action,
by using the next list box on the action editor header. This is specific
to each instance of the action editor.
* The display of the markers currently still needs improvement. At the
moment, the triangle icons + text are drawn below all the last row of
keyframes. As such, I've made it draw yellow vertical lines which
span the height of the action editor, to also indicate markers.
Comments on this and also help getting the triangle thingies to 'float'
above the bottom scroll bar are warmly appreciated.
* There are a few minor update issues with editing a marker in the
timeline and the markers in the action editor which will be fixed soon.
* There are also a few hotkeys to still add.
Enjoy!
a group to show when used for duplicators. Is in the Object Buttons,
"Object and Links" panel. Note that the duplicator layer itself still
defines still visiblitily of entire group.
Notes:
- Only referenced groups (from other files)
- Only 1 group (no more duplicates using same group yet)
- Only Proxy working well for Armature or Empty
Is going to be reviewed in Plumiferos team; but target is that this will
solve a major animation pipeline bottleneck :)
Usage; select group, alt+ctrl+p, pick an object you want to proxify.
- Image Node: after loading new file it didn't update the header name
- File-out Node: header color suggested there was only 1 'active', which
it isn't.
now, others can be added later (sticky, shape keys). Beside one small fix
for knife exact vertex group interpolation, is intended to work the same
as before.
Also fixes bug #5200, related to editmode undo and vertex groups. And
corrects the editmode to faceselect mode selection conversion, that was
broken in a previous commit.
THE OBJECT PROXY
Or simple said; local control of referenced data from libraries.
Having library files with references is a very common studio setup, and
Blender did do quite well in that area. Were it not that for character
setups it was impossible to use still.
This commit will enable a full rig+character to remain in the library,
and still have - under strict control - local access for animation edits.
Full log:
http://www.blender3d.org/cms/Proxy_Objects.824.0.html
the CustomData module from the modifier stack rewrite, but with additions
to make it also usable in edit mode. Some of the datatypes from that
module were move to a DNA header file, they are not saved to file now, but
will be soon.
The only code that wasn't abstracted is the uv collapse / merging code. It
is rather complicated, will look into that in the future.
There should be no user level changes.
1. UI review -> disabeling options when not available .. giving hints why ( even tried to give usefull tooltips )
1.1 give some more user control to the solving process (mins,maxs).. optional feedback on the console
2. replacing ugly object level 'sumohandle' with SB (private runtime) level/pointer 'scratch'
which holds runtime data like cached collider data and more .. and it's thread save this way :)
3.related no 2. write a 'private' history of collision objects to ease the 'fast' collider tunneling syndrome'
4. some <clean> optimizations, 3-BSP for self collision, general AABB checking before ever going to collision details
5. some <dirty> ( in the sense of do some inacurate physics noone ever will see ) little tricks to make things faster .. ..fuzzy collision situation bypass .. forward collision resolution
Made them use the new the two new math functions I've added in arith.c (in
various patches) - Mat4ToEul and LocEulSizeToMat4 - cutting down on the
amount of code reuse.
The Preview panel in UV window, for compositing, sets a 'crop' flag in the
scene when used. Somehow this flag can hang when you switch screens or
close windows. Or even worse, it crashed on renders.
This commit ensures that the compositor survives and gives error prints.
The real issue, hanging flags on closing windows, has to be solved still.
Displace modifier crashed when used on Curve, the fix removed the flag
that accepts curve objects, but apparently then a flag to accept meshes
has to be added. (eModifierTypeFlag_AcceptsMesh).
Thanks Michael Crawford for notifying this fix.
grouped and become a new duplicated group, and so on.
IMPORTANT NOTE!
- no check for eternal loops, so I've hardcoded limited it to 5 levels
- no support for animation or deformation/modifiers/constraints
So, only fun for the props and architecture department :)
duplicate code. Also removed redundant files from the bsp module,
that where replaced by boolop last year, no sense in updating them
for these changes. On the user level things should still work the
same, this is only preparation work.
Not counting the removed files, -1501 lines of code, not too bad :)
http://download.blender.org/demo/test/2.43/0001_0150_speed.avi
By default the Speed maps in the range 0-100 frames, since there's
not an actual time relationship here.
IMPORTANT: this didn't work before, and default Curve Paths have a
speed Ipo, so past saved scenes will work different now!
- Speed curve points are now drawn on the 3D path as well. With select
info for selected points, if Curve Object is active.
- Duplicating Objects with NLA ActionModifiers now also correctly copies
object pointers, so a duplicate works as expected.
This was a sculpt mode merge problem: the G_DRAWSHARP and G_SCULPTMODE flags
had the same value, so Blender thought it was in sculpt mode when "Draw Sharp"
was turned on, leading to segfaults.
I have moved the G_SCULPTMODE flag to an unused value.
#4742 exported normals are now correct
#4821 & 4956 for complex movements in/outflows can now also
use the animated mesh option
- new features
* isosurface subdivision: directly
creates a finer surface mesh from the simulation data.
this increases simulation time and harddisk usage, though, so
be careful - usually values of 2-4 should be enough.
* fluidsim particles: extended model for particle
simulation and generation. When isosurface subdivision is enabled,
the particles are now included in the surface generation,
giving a better impression of a single connected surface.
Note - the particles are only included in the final surface
mesh, so the preview surface shows none of the particle
effects.
* particle loading: different types of particles can now be selected for
display: drops, floats and tracers. This is a bit obsolete
due to the extensions mentioned above, but might still be useful.
Floats are just particles floating on the fluid surface, could
be used for e.g. foam.
* moving objects impact factor: this is another tweaking option,
as the handling of moving objects is still not conserving
mass. setting this to zero simply deletes the fluid, 1 is
the default, while larger values cause a stronger
impact. For tweaking the simulation: if fluid disappears, try
increasing this value, and if too much is appearing reduce it.
You can even use negative values for some strange results :)
- more code cleanup, e.g. removed config file writing in fluidsim.c,
added additional safety checks for particles & fluidsim domains (these
currently dont work together). I also removed the "build particles"
debug message in effects.c (seemed to be unnecessary?).
Some more info on the new features:
Here are two test animations showing the difference between
using the particle generation with isosurface subdivision.
This is how it would look with the old solver version:
http://www10.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/~sinithue/blender/fluid6_fl6manc4_1noparts.mpg
and this with the new one:
http://www10.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/~sinithue/blender/fluid6_fl6manc4_2wparts.mpg
Both simulations use a resolution of 64, however, the version with particles
takes significantly longer (almost twice as long).
The .blend file for a similar setup can be found here:
http://www10.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/~sinithue/blender/fluid6_testmanc4.blend
(Minor Tips for this file: dont enable subdivions of characters until rendering,
thus leave off for simulation, as it uses the rendering settings! For making
nice pictures switch on subdivion, and OSA.)
And here's a picture of old vs. new (for webpage or so):
http://www10.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/~sinithue/blender/fluid6_manc4compare.png
Deleting all points in a Curve object created empty DispList blocks. The
drawing code didn't like that.
Secured it by both fixing drawing as skipping adding empty DispLists.
Special thanks to Fernando Bastos for the extensive stack tracing.
Dupli-group doesn't work yet for metaballs. Code entered an eternal loop,
because the group-duplication code calls again the metaball creation code.
Disabled this. MakeDisplist needs review!
Apparently being so scroogish for cpu cycles makes crashes in Linux. I'll
add it on todo for later checks, but I need a windows or linux coder for
it!
For users: it might fix crashes when you have NodeTrees in Libraries.
The "Copy Size" constraint was calling a where_is_object(), this caused
the depsgraph to mess up in very weird ways and rare occasions. In the
sample file it showed strange lags in bones for using the "Stride bone"
option.
While trying to locate the bug I've revisited the Pose depsgraph in detail,
trying to figure out how it can print possible cycle errors in dependency.
That has been added now too (in console). Unfortunately the bugreport
example had no cycle errors. :)
Clear transform (ALT+G/R/S) in Pose sometimes didnt work, for example when
armature is being controlled by other armature. Caused by double depsgraph
flushing.
