So apparently this was a regression from 2.4x, since vector handles
were one of the handle types which could be set independently for each
handle (vs both needing to be the same, for example, Auto Handles)
Causing a flurry of refresh file prompts post-commit,
Confusing local diffs and causing merge conflicts,
Stating the obvious; redundant and useless...
We shall not miss thou, blasted expand $keywords$
* Tweaked order of handle types to make it easier to find Auto/Auto-
clamped in the list
* Fixed a number of places which were still just checking for auto-
handles when they should have included auto-clamped too, including
handle rotation
handle/key
This used to be a weird per-curve setting which would happen to get
applied/work correctly if handles were set to "auto", and was a source
of constant confusion for both old and new animators. The main effect
of this handle-type/option was really to just ensure that auto-handles
stayed horizontal, instead of tilting as the keys were moved.
This commit simply changes this from a per-curve to per
keyframe/handle setting.
* Removed frame-number display from NLA strips. Indeed doing so makes
things look cleaner/easier to identify.
* When transforming NLA strips, the "temp-metas" (purple strips) get
their frame extents drawn on either end, like in the sequencer, which
seems to be easier to read than the ones inside the strips.
---
The downside of this tweak is that there is no longer any visual
feedback for which strips run reversed instead of forwards, as that
used to be shown using the frame extents stuff.
Channels can now be used as "animation containers" to be filtered
further to obtain a set of subsidiary channels (i.e. F-Curves
associated with some summary channel).
The main use of this is that object and scene summary channels can now
be defined without defining the filtering logic in three different
places - once for channel filtering, once for drawing keyframes in
action editor, and once for editing these keyframes.
An indirect consequence of this, is that the "Only selected channels"
option in Timeline will now result in only the keyframes for a
selected bones getting shown (when enabled), instead of all keyframes
for the active object. This was requested by Lee during Durian, and is
something which has only become possible as a result of this commit.
* This (big) commit is aimed at cleaning up the filtering flags used
by the animation channel filtering code. The list of filtering flags
has been growing a bit "organically" since it's humble origins for use
in the Action Editor some 3 years (IIRC) ago now during a weekend
hackathon. Obviously, some things have ended up tacked on, while
others have been the product of other flag options. Nevertheless, it
was time for a bit of a spring clean!
* Most notably, one area where the system outgrown its original design
for the Action Editor was in terms of the "visibility" filtering flag
it was using. While in the Action Editor the concept of what channels
to include was strictly dictated by whether the channel hierarchy
showed it, in the Graph Editor this is not always the case. In other
words, there was a difference between the data the channels
represented being visible and the channels for that data being visible
in the hierarchy.
Long story short: this lead to bug report [#27076] (and many like it),
where if you selected an F-Curve, then collapsed the Group it was in,
then even after selecting another F-Curve in another Group, the
original F-Curve's properties would still be shown in the Properties
Region. The good news is that this commit fixes this issue right away!
* More good news will follow, as I start checking on the flag usage of
other tools, but I'm committing this first so that we have a stable
reference (of code similar to the old buggy stuff) on which we can
fall back to later to find bugs (should they pop up).
Anyways, back to the trenches!
- remove some warnings
- fix typos
- cmake allow in-source build (when WITH_IN_SOURCE_BUILD is defined)
- cmake, use an explicit list of rna files (don't glob)
While doing some animation work over the past few days, I found that
it would be useful to be able to tag keyframes as a another type yet:
"jitter" for fill-in secondary motion (i.e. blinks/hand-keyed camera
shake). Of course, what you really use these for is up to you, but
this is one more option when you need it :)
- omit render code from this warning (cmake only), until render branch is merged.
- moved -Wunused-parameter warning to apply to all C code in blender (not just ./source/blender), (cmake only).
- removed deprecated bitmap arg from IMB_allocImBuf (plugins will need updating).
- mostly tagged UNUSED() since some of these functions look like they may need to have the arguments used later.
Early when implementing the Graph Editor in 2.5, a key complaint that was levelled at the old 'IPO Editor' was that it was a constant annoyance that adjacent handles were getting selected in addition to the keyframes, when only the keyframes were intended. I solved this by making this default to only selecting keyframes and ignoring the handles, but this means that it isn't possible to batch move several handles at once.
I've now improved this situation by adding an option to the border select operator (involved using Ctrl-B instead of B) which makes the handles get treated separately (as if they were separate verts, as in 2.4x). The default is still to only select keyframes, to have consistency with the DopeSheet...
Also performed some more renaming work in the code...
Flatten handles option was an ugly mix of snap to nearest integer values and set the handles to have the same values as the key. Removed the nearest integer snapping from this, since it doesn't seem that useful in retrospect. It could be restored later if there's any demand for it.
Only source/blender/editors/ dir, should not give errors on different platforms
Only removing: UI_*.h, ED_*.h, WM_*.h, DNA_*.h, IMB_*.h, RNA_*.h, PIL_*.h
Texture animation is now shown in the animation editors. Texture stacks are shown for each Material/Lamp/World block that uses them.
There is currently still a bit of a bug with this which means that unless the owner of the texture stack is animated too, the animation data for the textures won't show up. This will get rectified soon though.
This commit introduces the Select More/Less Operators (Ctrl +/-) for keyframes. This works like the ones for curves, by only selecting/deselecting keyframes lying in the same F-Curve. Inter F-Curve selection is not done by this operator. That is the job for another one.
This is especially useful for F-Curves set in the 0-1-0 pattern (i.e. 3 keyframes forming localised peaks), where the peaks can be selected by clicking on them individually, and immediately surrounding '0' values are selected too using "Select More".
Thanks to a great doc from Bassam (slikdigit) on the different types of handles (which should probably become/be part of future 2.5 docs), I've revised the code again so that this works well again.
The doc:
http://docs.google.com/View?id=dvgkxj6_1d8cpfw79
Fixed the operators for DopeSheet/Graph Editors responsible for setting the "auto-clamped". This option is actually per F-Curve instead of per handle, and the code here should function like it did in 2.4x
However, despite this, it still appears to work oddly IMO. Any comments Bassam or animators familiar with the intentions of this?
Wrong indices were being used to reference materials, resulting in too few materials showing up. It seems that at some point since coding this in the 2.4 codebase and now, the range has changed from [0, totcol) to [1, totcol].
* Mesh data/settings can now be animated. It is not recommended that geometry be animated directly, but other settings such as autosmooth, etc. can be...
* Code cleanups for depsgraph, making sure that drivers get included for all object data types.
* NURBS and Font animation data now appear in the animation editors.
* Fixed depsgraph tagging code for determining if the AnimData attached to object data blocks (i.e. animation for curve or lamp data) needs to be tagged for updates on frame changes. This means that animating curve settings now works.
* Added function for F-Curves to find the F-Curves in a given list which affect some named data, such as bones, nodes, or sequence strips.
* Added a BezTriple offsetting callback to be used with the F-Curve+Keyframe loopers in use for many of the keyframe editing tools.
Now when nodes are keyed, they will show up in the dopesheet/graph editor/etc in a new 'Nodetree' category.
Still a major problem left, nodes need unique names in order for the rna paths to hold animation data properly...
* Convert all code to use new functions.
* Branch maintainers may want to skip this commit, and run this
conversion script instead, if they use a lot of math functions
in new code:
http://www.pasteall.org/9052/python
* Submenus displaying the options available for certain operators now will now show the hotkey for the operator on the menu entries.
* Added an option for mirroring keyframes in the Graph Editor which makes use of the new cursor
Added a summary channel that appears as the first channel in the DopeSheet. For now, this is disabled by default, but can be enabled using the 'Summary' toggle in the header between the mode selector and the standard filtering options. This has been done, since there is a possibility that it will make the DopeSheet run a bit slower.
In this channel you can do everything that you can normally do with DopeSheet channels (i.e. select, transform, edit, etc). It might be worth noting though that care probably needs to be taken when trying to use Copy/Paste, since that is still a bit fidgety...
In the process, I've fixed a few bugs, mostly with selection:
- Selecting keyframes in scene summaries wouldn't work
- Border select only worked in F-Curve and Group channels
* Code for generating 'Object' summary of Keyframes for DopeSheet (which is also used by the TimeLine for getting keyframes to draw) now considers materials, object data, and particles too.
* Rearranged the way that keyframing-related settings were presented in the User Preferences. The way the settings were grouped was plain confusing, and based on biased views from the old system. For the record, 'needed'+'visual' are always considered when inserting keyframes, 'always' is for autokeyframing, and default interpolation is only used for newly created F-Curves.
* Fixed bug #19472 - Scroll wheel scrolls in the wrong direction for enum-menus that were flipped (i.e. window type menu and 3d-view mode selector).
Main Feature:
* It is now possible to choose which AnimData block is the 'active' one for editing, and/or select them too. AnimData blocks are generally the dark blue and lighter-blue expanders (i.e. Scene, Object, Camera, Lamp, Curve, Armature, etc.)
* Objects are no longer selected/deselected when AKEY is used to toggle selection of channels. This was getting a bit annoying.
* Following on from selection of AnimData blocks, it is now possible to select/make active an AnimData block in the animation editors, and change the active action for that block via the 'Animation Data' panel in NLA Editor's properties region.
--> Be aware that user-counts are not totally handled correctly there yet, so some funky behaviour might be seen...
--> It is possible to assign a new action, or to assign an existing one, allowing to switch between actions as in the past with Actions/IPO Editors...
Other tweaks:
* Some code tweaks towards making the 'Euler Filter' feature for Graph Editor working sometime soon
* Added some backend code for snapping the values of keyframes to a single value. Still need to work out some UI for it though.
* Shuffled the code for ACT_OT_new() around, and removed the poll() callback so that it worked in NLA too.
* Fixed some more notifier bugs with deleting bones and a few other editmode operations for Armatures.
* Extremes are shown as red/pink diamonds
* I've changed the order of extremes and breakdowns in the code to make for nicer sizing/ordering. This might break a couple of files out there, but it shouldn't be too many.
TODO:
Still on my todo is to make these tags more useful (i.e. less likely to be overwritten by keyframing)
It is now possible to tag certain keyframes as being 'breakdowns' in the DopeSheet. Breakdown keyframes are drawn as slightly smaller blue diamonds.
Simply select the relevant keyframes and use the RKEY hotkey (or from the menus, Key->Keyframe Type) to choose between tagging the keyframe as a 'proper' keyframe and a 'breakdown' keyframe.
Notes:
* Please note that this feature does not currently imply anything about breakdowns moving around keyframes or behaving any differently from any other type of keyframe
* In future, if there is any such need, more keyframe types could be added, though this is not really likely at all
