This is hopefully the ultimate solution against smoke blockiness near emitter.
Previously high resolution flow/emitter voxels were generated based on the low resolution ones. So if you had 32 resolution and 4 division high resolution, it still used smoke flow generated from those 32 resolution voxels. Now I introduced a new sampling method called "Full Sample" that generates full resolution flow for for high resolution domain as well.
Read more about it in my blog post: https://www.miikahweb.com/en/blog/2013/05/10/getting-rid-of-smoke-blockiness
Also changed "quick smoke" operator default voxel data interpolation mode to "Cubic B-Spline" to smoothen out it even more.
Issue was caused by ntreeUpdateTree calling for a ntree
which is not in G.main.
This lead to issues in ntreeVerifyNodes (which is called
from ntreeUpdateTree).
Made is so ntreeUpdateTree now accepts main as an argument.
Will work for the release, later we could either solve the
TODO mentioned in ntreeUpdateTree which will eliminate need
in main there or make it so context's main is used from all
over where ntreeUpdateTree is called (currently there're
still some usages of G.main).
Also removed unneeded image buffer scaling, it was only needed
for "early output" if there was no rotation. That is no longer
supported since it used to pixelate result a lot and interpolation
is always used now.
Saves quite a few of memory and CPU cycles.
Initial fix was not fully working, because faulty
edge shared the same address as screen area. This
lead to screen freeing issues -- double free (which
was supressed by guarded allocation actually) but
also freed memory access when iterating via edges
to free them.
Solved by a small hack which removes edges with bad
vertices from edges list. This prevents double-free
and freed memory access cased by corrupted files we're
currently fixing. In other cases this tweak is likely
be harmless -- in worst case scenario it'll lead to
small memory leak, which is not as much lethal as
freed memory access.
Added provision for saved corrupt blend files - caused by a startup.blend
addressing > 16 GB space, which was read in 32 bits.
Now an invalid screen will get removed immediate after read. Might give
a memory-not-in-memlist print, but that's quite safe.
Added a mutex lock for smoke data access. The render was already working with a
copy of the volume data, so it's just a short lock to copy things and should not
block the UI much.
Issue was cause dby ima->ibufs being stored in a ma on
undo/redo and ima->rr not. In case of multilayer image
ibufs hares pointer with render result, so current
undo/redo policy lead to a dead pointer stored in ibuf.
Made it so ima->rr also stores in the map and restores
on redo/undo keeping all the pointers fine.
Because of our release soon, feature has been added behind the Debug Menu.
CTRL+ALT+D and set it to -1. Or commandline --debug-value -1.
When debug set to -1, you can put the viewport to 'render' mode, just like
for Cycles. Notes for testers: (and please no bugs in tracker for this :)
- It renders without AA, MBlur, Panorama, Sequence, Composite
- Only active render layer gets rendered. Select another layer will re-render.
- But yes: it works for FreeStyle renders!
- Also does great for local view.
- BI is not well suited for incremental renders on view changes. This only
works for non-raytrace scenes, or zoom in ortho or camera mode, or for
Material changes. In most cases a full re-render is being done.
- ESC works to stop the preview render.
- Borders render as well. (CTRL+B)
- Force a refresh with arrow key left/right. A lot of settings don't trigger
re-render yet.
Tech notes:
- FreeStyle is adding a lot of temp objects/meshes in the Main database. This
caused DepsGraph to trigger changes (and redraws). I've prepended the names
for these temp objects with char number 27 (ESC), and made these names be
ignored for tag update checking.
- Fixed some bugs that were noticable with such excessive re-renders, like
for opening file window, quit during renders.
This option replaces previously added GPU limit
option, which became tricky to follow after GLSL
display space conversion.
There're 4 modes available:
- AUTO which will try to guess which mode is
best to use.
Currently It'll try using GLSL and if it fails,
will fallback to 2D textures.
Probably it'll make sense checking on whether
2D textures works well but currently such behavior
shall be sufficient.
Later we could make this method smarter (for example
don't try to use GLSL on certain GPU or so).
- GLSL will currently behave the same way as AUTO,
but it is intended to always try using GLSL
(unless it can not be used because of existing
limitation of dither and RGB curves).
- 2D Textures will use CPU-based color space conversion
and use OGL 2D Texture to display the image.
Image will be displayed in tiles, so there shall be
no big GPU memory consumption.
- DrawPixels will straightly fallback to glDrawPixels
without trying to use any fancy GPU stuff.
Hopefully this will also fix
#34943: Blender crashes when resizing the Compositing Screen Window
* Make masking depend on texture mode only if there's an actual texture
present
* New stroke system uses diameter to calculate stroke spacing, while old
texture painting brushes and system used radius. So divide spacing of
brushes in old files to half. Since I expect trunk users to have already
adapted this, I do this for an old subversion of blender.
Deprecated Freestyle-specific elements were removed from the code base,
in order to address all comments from branch code reviews.
https://codereview.appspot.com/7416049/
Backward compatibility won't be maintained in the following components:
- Freestyle edge/face marks in old .blend files are ignored.
Old .blend files can be converted by loading and saving the files using
a Freestyle branch build between revision 55581 and 55842.
- External style modules are no longer supported.
Instead text datablocks must be used to keep style module files within
.blend files. A branch build between revision 55741 and 55842 is useful
for identifying the style module file names that need reconfiguring.
Made it an operator instead of automatic prefetching.
Filling the whole memory with frames is not always
desired behavior.
Now prefetching is available via P-key, or from Clip
panel in toolbox or from Clip menu.
Also enabled prefetching for non-proxied movies.
Suggested by Brecht Van Lommel and Campbell Barton through code review comments.
Previously style modules were external Python script files whose absolute paths
were kept in .blend files. Now style modules are stored in .blend files as text
datablocks.
Style modules are configured in three steps:
1. Open an external style module file (or create a new text datablock) in the
Text Editor in Blender.
2. Add a style module to the list of style modules (by pressing the "Add" button)
in the Render Layer properties window.
3. Click the name entry and select the style module from the drop-down menu.
Stencil style texture mapping. Ready for field testing and user feedback.
This commit adds stencil like brushes, like those that existed on old ptex branch.
(with the exception of clip colour)
To control the position of the stencil, you use
Q: translation
Shift - Q: scaling
Ctrl - Q: rotation
There's extra work that has been done to make this work:
* Support for coloured overlay in vertex/texture painting
* Also made A button do stroke mode selection like in sculpt mode,
when mask painting is inactive.
There are some TODOs to work on during bcon3:
* Support tiled and stencil mode in 2D painting. Support alpha textures also.
* Tidy up overlay code. There's some confusion there due
to the way we use the primary brush texture sometimes for alpha, other times
for colour control.
WIP design docs will be in
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Psy-Fi/New_Brush_Tool_Design
Implemented using GLSL API from OpenColorIO library and
some general functions were added to it's c-api:
- OCIO_setupGLSLDraw prepares OpenGL context for GPU-based
transformation for a giver processor.
This function compiles and links shader, sets up it's
argument. After this transformation would be applied
on an image displaying as a 2D texture.
So, glaDrawPixelsTex called after OCIO_setupGLSLDraw will
do a proper color space transform.
- OCIO_finishGLSLDraw restores OpenGL context after all
color-managed display is over.
- OCIO_freeOGLState frees allocated state structure used
for cacheing some GLSL-related stuff.
There're some utility functions in IMB_colormanagent which
are basically proxies to lower level OCIO functions but
which could be used from any place in blender.
Chacheing of movie clip frame on GPU is also removed now,
and either glaDrawPixelsTex or glaDrawPixelsAuto are used
for display now. This is so no code duplication happens
now and no large textures are lurking around in GPU memory.
Known issues:
- Texture buffer and GLSL are no longer checking for
video card capabilities, possibly could lead to some
artifacts on crappy drivers/cards.
- Only float buffers are displaying using GLSL, byte
buffers will still use fallback display method.
This is to be addressed later.
- If RGB curves are used as a part of display transform,
GLSL display will also be disabled. This is also thing
to be solved later.
Additional changes:
- glaDrawPixelsTexScaled will now use RGBA16F as an
internal format of storing textures when it's used
to draw float buffer. This is needed so LUT are
applied without precision loss.
- Revert some stylistic changes made in branch
They weren't directly related on freestyle project
and better be handled in trunk. Helps reading patches
ad prevents possible merge conflicts.
- Solved issue introduced with recent deprecation of
RenderData.maximize,
Conflicts resolved:
source/blenderplayer/bad_level_call_stubs/SConscript
Partly reverted changes to intern/cycles/blender/addon/ui.py in revision 52899
to make it easier to merge trunk changes.
Node Editor and Sequencer were not using grid theme color, but 'back'.
This commit adds versioning to copy background color to grid. I do this
without increasing sub-version, which allows to add correct drawing when
the subversion has to go up anyway for something else.
and RNA for it independent of the build flag for enabling Freestyle. Suggested
by Sergey Sharybin through a code review of the branch.
* Many #ifdef WITH_FREESTYLE blocks were removed to always have Freestyle-specific
DNA file specification and RNA for it built in Blender. This will allow Freestyle
setting survive even when a non-Freestyle build is used for loading and saving
files. It is noted that operations are still conditionally built through #ifdef
WITH_FREESTYLE blocks.
* To this end, new blenkernel files BKE_freestyle.h and intern/freestyle.c have
been added. All API functions in FRS_freestyle_config.h as well as some of those
in FRS_freestyle.h were moved to the new files. Now the relocated API functions
have BKE_ prefix instead of FRS_.
Appending a group (which adds all object members to scene), didn't follow the
setting "In active layer".
One note: only the scene layers are copied over, not local view3d layers.
