NLA strips support using the keyframe values in a variety of ways:
adding, subtracting, multiplying, linearly mixing with the result
of strips located below in the stack. This is intended for layering
tweaks on top of a base animation.
However, when inserting keyframes into such strips, it simply inserts
the final value of the property, irrespective of these settings. This
in fact makes the feature nearly useless.
To fix this it is necessary to evaluate the NLA stack below the
edited strip and correctly compute the raw key that would produce
the intended final value, according to the mode and influence.

The insert_keyframe function already applies NLA strip to action
time remapping, so doing it in insert_graph_keys/insert_action_keys
is redundant outside the code path that inserts directly into fcurve.
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 using copy on write, insert keyframe operators were reading from old
bmain data instead of COW data. This meant that inserting keyframes would
often read old/stale data, resulting in invalid keyframes getting created
(e.g. from last transform operation, instead of actual current state).
This commit makes it so that keyframing operators will ask depsgraph for
the evaluated copy of the data, so that it can read values from that. It
introduces a new function - `DEG_get_evaluated_rna_pointer()`, which when
working correctly/fully, should work just like the other `DEG_get_evaluated_*()`
functions, except it lets you pass in an RNA Pointer.
However, currently, this is only done for Pose Bones (as a dirty hack, since this
is an important/pivotal requirement for production) and/or datablock
properties directly (since we can just use the DEG_get_evaluated_id() directly).
on the datablock.
Committing to a branch for now as this all needs more testing. More work to come
later at a more sane time of day!
Cyclic extrapolation is implemented as an f-curve modifier, so this
technically violates abstraction separation and is something of a hack.
However without such behavior achieving smooth looping with cyclic
extrapolation is extremely cumbersome.
The new behavior is applied when the first modifier is Cyclic
extrapolation in Repeat or Repeat with Offset mode without
using influence, repeat count or range restrictions.
This change in behavior means that curve handles have to be updated
when the modifier is added, removed or its options change. Due to the
way code is structured, it seems it requires a helper link to the
containing curve from the modifier object.

This commit introduces a scale factor setting for scaling all keyframe indicators
in the Dopesheet Editor up/down, in order to make them easier to select. It is perhaps
most useful for keyframe types which are usually indicated using smaller keyframes
(e.g. breakdown), which may get tricky to quickly select.
FCurve evaluation depended on FCurve.curval, which isn't threadsafe.
Now only use this value for debug display,
and pass the value instead of storing in the FCurve for all but debug-display.
* Reshuffled code for existing "View Frame" implementations, and removed leftover
comment from some of the the copy-and-paste used to build it.
* Added support for this operator in the NLA and Timeline
To make it easier for animators working in a multipass pose-to-pose workflow
when inserting breakdown keyframes and so forth, it is now possible to specify
the "type" of keyframe being created (i.e. the colour of the keyframe, when drawn
in the Dope Sheet).
Usage:
1) Choose the type of keyframe ("Keyframe", "Breakdown", "Extreme", etc.) from
the new dropdown located between the AutoKeying and KeyingSet widgets on the
timeline header.
2) Insert keyframes
3) Rejoyce that your newly created keyframes have now been coloured for you already
in the DopeSheet.
Todo:
* Look into a way of using the actual keyframe colours (from the theme) for the icons
of these types.
This may have resulted in situations where the order of GP keyframes was
incorrect (leading to some frames not being able to be found), or in some
redraw problems when trying to delete GP keyframes (that I was getting earlier,
but can't seem to reproduce now)
TODO: We now need to hook up a proper api to do the GP key sorting
get_keyframe_extents() would add an extra frame in case of mono-key fcurves in selected set...
Now do the 'not same start/end frames' check later, and also use floor/ceil instead of round
(we want to start at frame 3 if first key is at frame 3.8, reversed-same goes for end frame).
- 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`.
Basically it's a clean keyframes tool, but also removes a channel if the
only remaining keyframe has the default value only and is not used by
drivers or generative modifiers.
It's was used to help with performance of keyframe-heavy scenes in
gooseberry.
Note, as always the curve left after the clean tool is used is not the
same as the original, so this tool is better used before doing custom
editing of fcurves and after initial keyframe insertion, to get rid
of any unwanted keyframes inserted while doing mass keyframe insertion
(by selecting all bones and pressing I for instance)
team.
There are 3 options here:
1) Keep range (previous behaviour)
2) Seconds - allows a specified offset in seconds around current frame
3) keyframes - zoom to include a number of keyframes around the cursor
Options 2 and 3 have their own properties to tweak the behaviour and all
options can be found in User Preferences->Interface under the 2D
viewports section.
Number 3 will probably need some refinement so commiting here for the
hwoozeberry team to test first.
editors.
Reporter used a hacky work-around by placing cursor at end of keyframe
range and doing ctrl-C ctrl-V repeatedly. This was working on 2.73 but
not anymore since the old selection is not kept.
Much better is to have duplication operator be repeatable. This commit
takes care of that.
* Insert Keyframe tool for Dopesheet/Graph Editors needed to be modified to
not try to resolve the paths for NLA Control Curves
* For now, the poll callback to get the "Active FCurve" also works when given
a NLA control curve. They're really the same in most cases, and this should
be fine until one of the channels does something funky.
Using the standard "FCurve" animchannel type didn't work that well for
the control FCurves on NLA Strips, as the paths would not resolve correctly,
and the indentation was wrong. Also, there would likely be issues down the
track with applying NLA mapping. Hence, it's easier to just create a separate
type for this case, and adapt the rest of the code to also consider these (todo).
When the active object had no shapekey data, trying to create a new action from the
Shape Keys mode of the DopeSheet would crash. The segfault here was a silly regression
caused by my earlier Action Stashing work.
However, the old (pre-Action Stashing) code here also wasn't that great either.
While it didn't crash, it would still silently create a new action, even if that
could not get assigned/used anywhere. To prevent both of these problems from
happening again, I've added additional null checks, as well as beefing up the poll
callback here to forbid keyframing
This commit modifies the "New Action" operator to always stash the old action
before it creates a new one. As a result, the old active action will now have
a proper user of sorts after the new one is created, preventing previously
created actions from being lost.
Now that the New operator does this, it can be used for the Action Editor header AND
NLA Editor (Animation Data Panel -> Active Action) again. The "stash and create"
operator is somewhat redundant at this point as a result.
In constrast to the old "new" operator, this operator will stash the existing action
in the stack to prevent it from being lost. This situation isn't totally ideal yet,
since the NLA Editor still calls the old method.
