Or in short:
- adding MultiLayer Image support
- recoded entire Image API
- better integration of movie/sequence Images
Was a whole load of work... went down for a week to do this. So, will need
a lot of testing! Will be in irc all evening.
exception of the clone tool.
One level undo for image- and texturepaint, only storing those tiles
that changed.
Test to improve texturepaint performance using glTexSubImage2D, only
enabled with 2^n sized textures and mipmapping off. Painting a 2048x2048
texture is then pretty smooth here, as long as the geometry is not too
complex.
- ImagePaint now uses ImBuf directly, and the rect blending functions
were moved into the imbuf module.
- The brush spacing, timing and sampling was abstracted into brush.c, for
later reuse in other paint modes.
Float ImagePaint support.
Textured Brushes:
- Only the first texture channel is used now.
- Options for size and offset should be added, but need to find some space
in the panel, or add a second one ..
Fixed the blur-plugin (and maybe a lot more) crashes by expecting
future float-buffer aware sequencer-plugins to have a bumped PLUGIN_VERSION
number. Since quality and speed is degraded by converting the float
buffer first to byte, performing the effect on bytes and then converting
back again an additional warning is displayed in the effect strip,
suggesting to update the used sequencer-plugins.
Fixed some more crashes along the way.
Float buffer aware sequencer plugins should
- first check, if the output-ibuf has a rect_float
=> perform all operations with floats (input and output)
- if not: perform everything on bytes (intput and output)
* Scaled down image can be smaller than icon - bad memory access
* Also needed to copy float buffer for exr images
* rectcpy only copied first row
There probably is some unnessary copying, will check with a little more time.
For now better be safe since it's no huge amount of mem that is copied.
Credits go to Gernot Ziegler, who originally coded EXR support, and to
Austin Benesh for bringing it further. Kent Mein provided a lot of code
for integrating float buffers in Blender imbuf and ImBuf API cleanup,
and provided Make and Scons and static linking.
At this moment; the EXR libraries are a *dependency*, so you cannot get
the Orange branch compiled without having OpenEXR installed. Get the
(precompiled or sources) stuff from www.openexr.com. Current default is
that the headers and lib resides in /user/local/
Several changes/additions/fixes were added:
- EXR code only supported 'half' format (16 bits per channel). I've added
float writing, but for reading it I need tomorrow. :)
- Quite some clumsy copying of data happened in EXR code.
- cleaned up the api calls already a bit, preparing for more advanced
support
- Zbuffers were saved 16 bits, now 32 bits
- automatic adding of .exr extensions went wrong
Imbuf:
- added proper imbuf->flags and imbuf->mall support for float buffers, it
was created for *each* imbuf. :)
- found bugs for float buffers in scaling and flipping. Code there will
need more checks still
- imbuf also needs to be verified to behave properly when no 32 bits
rect exists (for saving for example)
TODO:
- support internal float images for textures, backbuf, AO probes, and
display in Image window
Hope this commit won't screwup syncing with bf-blender... :/
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)
I cleaned up the code a little did a couple of these:
if (blah > stuff - wah) blah = stuff - wah;
changed to....
tmp = stuff - wah;
if (blah > tmp) blah = tmp;
and combined multiple if statements
