Akey in ipowindow didn't deselect anymore. Or worse... each main refresh
in ipowindow selected all ipos!
Was related to trying to fix mess from jK's commit last year... now its
scientifically ok again! :)
The grid function (transform translate, snap-to) now uses the grid step as
displayed in the 3d window, so it depends on how much you zoomed in/out.
The threshold for it is a bit tricky... it follows the drawing, but the
blending in/out of grid makes it sometimes not obvious. might need slight
tweak?
Jkey, for showing spare render page, didn't work when using ztransp
material, or buttons F5 open or shaded view.... quite strange eh!
Caused by init-render-material setting R.flag to use Ztransp render.
Globals causing havock yes...
- 4th rotation widget styling, activate with Scene buttons, Anim panel, "rt"
on "4".
- drawing constraint lines replaced with widget compatible styling.
(functionality unchanged)
Fix;
- click on center for Rotate widget didn't switch to local/normal in all
cases
That was blocking immediate hotkey access for normal blendering.
- New, experimental, hotkey to switch: CTRLKEY! Added code in such a way
it detects a CTRL key press and release without using it as modifier.
Pressing CTRL will cycle through the 3 manipulator types.
- Fix for yesterday's commit; click on centerpoint for switching
orientation happened too on a click for other widgets. Not nice...
This commit *only* adds the new files.
Since this is an experimental feature, it is NOT enabled by default.
At the moment, you can turn it on by editing the toplevel SConstruct
file. NOTE: this is a hack. it will be done properly later!
To enable this experimental feature,
add the following line after the line that starts with 'extra_flags = ['
extra_flags.append( '-DUSE_CCGSUBSURFLIB' )
I would like to have proper creasing (following what appears to be
the informal standard in the subdivision surface literature) but
I do not know when I will get to this or how complicated it will
be. With this patch CCGSubSurfs should now have the same capabilities
as regular subsurfs (barring possible bugs) and so replacing the
old implementation is a reasonable possibility.
-- Stephane Soppera (thanks) reported libc stat function fails for paths ending with "\" under win with free VC++ compiler toolkit 2003:
removed final '/' (BLI_make_file_string changes the '/' to '\\\\' for win) slashes from relevant paths, that should take care of it . Note: here (linux, glibc, gcc 3.3.3) stat doesn't have this problem. Also checking if U.pythondir ends with a slash and, if so (as long as its length > 2 to), removing the slash, for the same reason.
-- small cosmetic changes in BPY_menus.c for debug msgs and in header_scripts (added a separator in the Scripts win -> Scripts menu).
- now support for global/local/normal orientation.
- LMB click on center switches orientation mode
- in object mode, local (now) only displays on single object selected
- in editmode, Normal orientation is derived from faces selected
- if no normal can be found, it shows local orientation
Currently implemented, for test, in Mesh editmode and PoseMode.
Note for PoseMode; the 'translation widget' shows on "IK" bones but
doesn't translate, it rotates instead. Pretty interesting to use the
translate widget for it...least cluttered display I think.
Note for Matt; I tried MMB click for switching orientation... it's just
weird that way... such clicks, repeatedly, with mousewheels isnt nice
either.
Fix for MMB behavior when two axis were exactly on one another or very close. It now defaults like this: X, Y, Z (meaning if as near as X as Y, it chooses X). This could be fixed further.
Technically, it now works by getting the mouse motion in 3D (just like Translation/Grab), projecting it on the vertical view axis, using the vector length as the shrink/fatten factor. If the motion is downward (on the screen), shrink, if it is upward, fatten.
In layman terms: move up to fatten, down to shrink and it adapts to the viewport zoom, like Translation.
I changed to snapgrid factors to match those of Translation to, so it really acts like grabbing.
- cleaner code for selection of handles in transform widget. in ortho views
selecting the center handle defaults, to prevent Inf. overflows for
perpendicular handles. While holding SHIFT it works the opposite!
- removed redraws on modifier (CTRL, SHIFT) key release. that ensures you
can apply to grid nicely (functioned that way in all blender releases)
- added 'ghosting' for while using translate/scaling widget
- added 'pie chart' ghost to denote angle while using rotate widget
- added settings to tweak widget in User menu (InfoWindow) "View & Control"
- Size: total widget size as percentage of window size
- Handle: as percentage of widget radius
- Hotspot: for clicking handles, in pixels
- Fized Size: option to make Widget size independent of window size
Not sure if all of these are useful to keep, but makes for good testing
in this stage.
Also: made #define to use new transform to be set TRUE by default now. :)
- moved bpydata/ to scripts/bpydata/ and added a config/ subdir to it;
- created scripts/bpymodules for py modules (also got rid of those "mod_"'s appended to the files);
- updated scripts accordingly.
This will require you to "reinstall" (just copy the scripts/ dir over your older one) if you have a .blender/scripts/ dir somewhere. Otherwise some scripts won't work. You can use the updated "Help->System->System Information" script here to check all is fine. An installer script yet to be written will help users with these issues, specially to make the user defined dir have the same structure expected from the default scripts dir, so the basic facilities (module search; saved config data; scripts: installer, help browser, config editor) are also available for a user's own collection of written and downloaded scripts.
BPython:
- slikdigit's crash was because he had no <home or blender exe location>/.blender/:
proper check added and also now if all else fails the <cvsblender>/release/scripts/ dir is also searched for scripts. All this registration dirs stuff is a little messy (installation!), so please report any troubles (I only tested on linux).
- slight change in error report in BPY_interface.c's BPY_menu_do_python; remembering to set globaldict pointer to NULL there, too.
- moved bpy_gethome() to EXPP_interface.[ch]
- "//" as user defined python dir is ignored while looking for scripts, considering it's only a default some users use, not really meant for a scripts dir.
(means optim, seams, selection should work same now, but I am
not super familiar with all this stuff so can't test very well).
These hacks to the DLM structure are disgusting btw Ton. What
a waste of memory! All the information that is so meticulous to
kept and managed in the old structure is essentially explicit (or
easily made so) in the new one.
only in one C file and not worth dropping in extern but presumably
will be synced with public CCGSubSurf release I hope to be making
soon.
- Currently the implementation must be enabled by defining
USE_CCGSUBSURFLIB somewhere with your build system. The code should
be considered highly experimental.
Helpline for warp was wrong in edit mode if the object wasn't centered on global space.
Boundbox calculation for warp is done in view space now, so it is always maximised since aligned with the view.
Switch the negative/positive switch for Shrink/Fatten from horizontal motion to vertical motion. Pull down to shrink, pull up to fatten. This could still use some work.
BugFix: Constraint center was wrong with MMB (was bypassing the fix I commited the other day).
BugFix: Changing modes while in transform and switching to local constraints in edit mode crashed. This was due to resetting the TransInfo flag in initTransModeFlags. Now done correctly in initTrans.
versus perspective.
Note for Martin; still an issue with defining what positive/negative
rotation is in perspective... needs more math here!
- Added Transform Widgets for PoseMode
- made adding bones in EditMode setting G.moving, so it doesn't draw other
selected objects nor Widgets
Warning in commit of Martin yesterday: Trackball and initTrackball were
declared static, whilst also in transform.h. Quez; why are these functions
exported in the .h file?
Bringing that back and enabling PET in trackball rotate.
Changed the rotation manipulator drawing code to really align the Trackball rotate ball with the view (using getViewVector) so that it always looks centered on the selection.
This was particularly ugly in perspective mode with a selection far from the center of the screen: http://www.clubinfo.bdeb.qc.ca/~theeth/screenie.jpg
Moved getViewVector from transform_constraints.c to transform_generics.c since it is not really a constraint related function. Also made it independant on the TransInfo structure so it might be useful elsewhere too.
NOTE: BLI_winstuff.h was meant to be a wrapper around windows.h to handle
undefining various crap that windows.h defines. Platform specific headers
should only have to be included in a few places. This reduces the number
of inclusions of BLI_winstuff.h to 16 which is a much more reasonable
number (than the 144 or whatever it used to be)
be used without including windows.h - this is the main reason windows.h
is included in so many places and this change allows most of those
inclusions to die.
